How To Play Can't Stop Loving You By Van Halen - Complete Guitar Lesson - Van Halen Balance 

I must say you nailed the tone for this one. Still waiting for the pedal board reveal video.

On new year's day this song came up randomly and I figured I had to learn Eddie's amazing parts, so I went on RU-vid to search for lessons. I realized now this video had been posted just the day before, what a coincidence. Anyway, there's a moment in the performance that really touches me, which is that Eddie plays the last chord of the bridge a little late, kind of drags it out a bit. It's such a surprising detail... feels like a touch of genius.

I love the dog in the background! I have never tried to learn this song, thanks for reminding us of it. It seems Ed really simplified things for this record. He was very unapologetic for writing a pop song.

Balance is criminally underrated and it has replaced 5150 as my favorite Sammy-era album.

Fella, you're the best. I’m learning Detroit Rock City with your videos

Therapy to the hole in my chest. Fk I miss Eddie and Tom Petty! Thx Brother.

Man you are so good at nailing his tone. Amazing. Subscribed!

Great VH song. Excellent lesson great tone and playing . You nailed it again bro 👍🎸

"...no matter what I search RU-vid, I can't stop watching you..." Marty you're the best, man, keep it up!!!!

Wow man!!! I'm a drummer, but this song has angelic meaning to me so I wanted to see how Eddie played this because they haven't played this live I don't think during the (Best of All Worlds Tour 2024) celebrating Van Halen music. I think It's great that Sammy got the best cat to play in place of Eddie with absolute humbleness Joe S as you probably know... But wow after watching you perfectly showing how it's done now I see why this is such a beautiful song!! Amazing Great job the way you explained it!! 💯 You definitely have the same gift brother I wish I could make a guitar sing instead of pounding a drum kit haha jk... Ty and God bless!

Cheers Marty. Just awesome work, as usual.

One of the last great VH ballads

The genius of Eddie

Another great lesson! Thank you, Marty. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Cool video. Good lesson. This is one of the main songs I’ve been looking forward to you covering on your channel. The other one being Best of Both Worlds. :)

Dude that guitar looks sooo good!!

Thanks for another great lesson Marty. BTW i looked upthat Maruader, don't know how I missed that especially with "official endorsements" by Paul and Ace. I guess I was too focused on Star Wars at the time.

Nice lesson! I'll be sitting down with this today!

Wow. I have always loved that song, but never had any clue about how to get it going so smooth. Nice guitar too. Well, I know what I’m gonna be doing for at least the next hour and a half. Peace out man. Thanks for the lesson.

Absolutely brilliant

Hello Marty and tysm for the amazing class. One of the most difficult parts on this song is how to take out those Harmonics. I really know that it needs a lot of work and training the Technics, but if it was easy, it wont be Eddie.

Keep the Van Hagar lessons coming. Maybe do Top of the World or Best of Both Worlds. Run Around or Feelin' would be cool too

Best tutorial and tone awesome videos 🔥🎸

Thank you Marty. Happy new year 👍🎸

Nice lesson…I left plenty of phone messages to various girlfriends with this blasting in the background , back in the day. Makes me smile every time I hear it.

Thanks Marty for the VH tutorials cheers Happy New Year🎸🎉

Great lesson.

Love this song….. nice breakdown on how to play it! Happy New Year!

Great video and a great song!! Thank you!!!

Thanks Marty great lesson bro.

Good lesson! Thanks Marty

Awesome song man

Wow Marty Your Always Bringing Them Surprises Out On The Fret Board An This Time You Did It I Have The Cd An Am Always Listening To That One Especially Driving Down The Highway Because I’m A Truck Driver So Definitely Is A Highway Song Thanks Again An I Wish You An Your Family A Happy New Year An That’s One Gorgeous Guitar

Nice Music Man Marty great job happy new year to you and yours keep the VH coming 🤘

Thanks for the great lesson. Can you give a newbie some direction on dialing in the correct tone?

Happy New Year, Marty. Congratulations on 10k subscribers. Thank you so much!

Excellent tutorial for a great song! Very helpfull! Noob-question: how is the technique called where Eddy is sliding his pick over a string/strings during the song, mainly intro? Would like to know to find a lesson for it. Fretsliding is not it and sliding itself results in tutorials with a metal or glass object on the players finger... Many thanks in advance and many thanks for your videos👍🏻💪🏻

Have a great New year

Happy New Year and Let There Be Rock 🤘

Mr Marty, the Marshall cab behind you to your right. speakers are visible is that thin grill cloth? or perforated metal grill? Great job on the tone and the song! oh ya love the dog.

Nice guitar.!!.I had a chance to get one of those when they first came out..Now you will pay top dollar for them..Love my axis non evh!

Great lesson Marty. Well done. I liked Balance when it came out, but I think I appreciate it even more all these years later. Also, what signature is on that headstock? Happy new year Marty!

How much drive are dialed in for this song? I am hearing a mix of drive and chimmey clean tone using you EBMM.

+1 for Skeletor on the mini stack

Clearly Eddie was paying attention to alternative rock at that time, as much chord related playing that was in this track. As a n00b C is still not a fun chord to play though, though I am getting a lot better fast.

100% he multi-tracked this one, all the chugs sound "picky" but there's clearly a finger picked part up front in the mix.

"a potpourri of Eddie stuff,"

We think the same thing at the moment of the solo: "That sounds like Pink Floyd to me!"

Great lesson. I was playing along with you until!!!!!! my 80s scattered mind started wandering and playing different songs of my yester years. I started jamming on Dweezil & Moon- lets talk about it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-faiu0IRnHjM.html then it Segued into round and round - ratt. i did finally come back to the lesson at hand. thanks for all that you do!!! there is a calmness about your lessons that always brings me back to the lesson at hand!!!🤘🤘🤘

just watched video you have to much distortion he is crystal clear but good video regardless
