AFIII Van Halen - In A Simple Rhyme using stock presets

Van Halen - In A Simple Rhyme Play Thru

Used stock presets - Shiver 0019 for clean parts and Atomica 0059 for dirt and solo. For the cleans I also layered in the natural sound of the guitar captured with a condenser mic up close to the strings. Shout out to Jim Gaustad for the insights to this technique. Based on his research, this is what Ed and Donn did in the studio for the original recording to get that pick on the strings sound - the clicking.

Please subscribe as I will be uploading new videos shortly.

Enjoy!

 
Well done! Haven't heard that one in forever, and that might have been the first album I ever got. It was either Billy Squier or VH Women & Children First. . .
 
Many thanks. This is a fun tune to play. I really dig the old deep cuts from the Roth era. Ed's playing was a little more off the wall on them.
