Jump Lesson - Van Halen - All Parts Including Live Tips 

This is the most helpful breakdown of this song I’ve ever seen. 🙏

Thanks for another great video... The thing I love most about Eddie's playing is the way he resolves a lot of his licks, particularly when he's hitting on octave harmonics, he just always knows which notes to make it feel warm and sonically comfortable to the ear. Probably my favorite example of this is during his solo on Live without a Net when he gets toward the end of the solo (around the 10:25 mark if you're watching just the solo on RU-vid). The way he taps the octave harmonics and bends them to the desired pitches over and over again, only to resolve to a very pleasing note... And he doesn't just give you the note, he flirts with your ears for a little while, because you know that particular note is coming, and that makes hearing it that much better when it arrives.

You have good ears and great feel, I’ll bet Ed would be impressed with your work here. 👍

Thank you so much, Sir! The first live tutorial from Jump... Excellent and logical explanation!

Marty - I've lurked on your channel for long enough - time to subscribe! Thank you for these excellent breakdowns - it's simple things like this that bring tons of joy to life.

Hey bro,I havn't left ya,I just been busy.Damn,I love this song.Played bass on it in a band back in the day.gonna love trying to learn the guitar on it.Thanks again Marty.

Awesome tutorial🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻!!

Great lesson! I love how the outro for jump is the intro for Top of the World from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Eddie was so fukkin ' slick!

What a great lesson, Marty! I was going to suggest you this song and here it is. Many people don't know that Eddie was a huge fan of Clapton and Page. As a matter of fact Rudy Sarzo posted on Twitter that he once met with Eddie at the Rainbow Bar on Sunset Strip and Eddie was so excited about the release of the first Van Halen album that he hoped the record had the same impact of Led Zeppelin I.

Man I really really appreciate you taking the time to show us this lesson. I friggin loved it haha! Can't get enough of these kind of videos

Hello great stuff man

Great breakdown on the solo, Marty! Appreciate all your efforts, keep the VH coming.

My favorite moment : " This part is really easy ...I think" Yes..... sure 😅 I 'm still trying to figure what part was easy in all of this lol Great video, you teach like in a band situation, like you are showing a bandmate the part you wrote for him and that's the best part .

You are an excellent teacher who understands the material.

Of all the videos out there (marty) yours seems to work for me saw your jump video for the first time ,now I'm playing jump with the solo . Thanks so much for your van halen lessons. I've learned so much

Great lesson !!! Congrats from Belgium .... and THANKS A LOT for the time you spend for givin' us this tutorial !

Best ever «how to» video on RU-vid!!🤘

The every rose has it's thorn "C"... That one got me! 🤣

Thanks!

You're a great teacher. Thanks for this!

Absolutely brilliant

Great lesson!

really enjoyed this lesson please keep it going

Been waiting for a lesson like this thank you so much 🤘🤘

Another great lesson...time to learn the solo now. 👍

This is great for the studio cut, which is in standard tuning. But Eddie plays it live in what sounds to me in Eb tuning (my guitar sounds like his live) and that's how I want to play this song...live. I have seen every live version of this song on RU-vid here from the '80's to '00's. He starts the solo every time on the 20th fret, not the 18th. He only has 22frets, so its not hard to see his finger between the two last dots on his fret board...20th fret. He then goes to the 8th fret for the pedal tone of the solo...so, 8th to 11th, 8th to 11th, etc. But on the notes for "I got my back against the record machine...I ain't the worst that you've seen...oh, can't you see what I mean...oh, that's when I jump" (that's a chorus part, right?)...I'm still learning music as a guitarist/bassist/pianist so forgive me here...but if you watch his hands live (including what I think is the best version of this song live from the camera view/angle/focus perspective, not lead singer perspective (this guy is okay, but no DLR or Sammy by any means)...but watch Eddies fingers (on that chorus, by the time the camera gets on Eddie, it's on the last run of that "lead break"...but his finger is at the 11th fret of the A string, and looks like it goes up the low E (which are standard tuning names for sake of understanding)...but in Eb, what would the notes for the chorus (lead break) section be? Does this change effect the solo from the standard perspective? Two frets higher on the start of the solo tells me that there is. I want to play this live, but want to make sure that all the parts are correct to how Ed's playing it live. Here is the video of him playing this live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpLQMFUMFZI.html

Great lesson Marty! EVH was a master at writing song's that people really connected with. I have the same Kramer guitar. I haven't gotten around to striping it yet. 5150 Thanks for sharing the love my brother 🙏

Love your stuff dude. These breakdowns help me TONS

Awesome

The lesson is great, and the icing on the cake certainly is that Steve Carell mug! Cheers!

Hey Marty,This was the most recent one to shoot you a message.I was checking ya & Johnny out & was blown away when ya said ya was from Binghamton.Hope I spelled that right,anyway,I use to play there at the L.I.E. Long Island Expressway, a underground club & Restaurant.That was one of my favorite places on the tour.I thought you were a N.Carolina dude like me.You always wearing your UNC shirts,but anyway I loved that place.Kinda reminded me of Ashville.I used to live there also.My drummer Mark Shwartswood was from Binghamton.Anyway thats great.Then you said you likes the Sammy years better because you were old enough to drink.Same with me except,the Dave years with me,1979 I seen them,I was 18.just old enough to drink.Back then it was 18 in N.C. Crazy hugh?I meant I lived in Ashville,if ya were wondering.

Awesome lesson dude ,thanks so much 🤘🏻🕶🤘🏻🎸☠️☠️☠️☠️🍺🍺🍺

Very Impressive and great lesson.Thank you so much!! 👍👍

badass guitar I've got one a lot like it but mine is the red and black bullseye

Love this stuff!👍 Keep it coming😎

Cool lesson. Thanks 🙏

Thank you, Marty! amazing job! 👍👍👍👍👍 🤟

Awesome lesson 👍

I know I’m late but how do you get that tone??? Sounds sooo good!! Great video by the way! Super helpful learning the solo!

Hey Marty... been watching your videos a lot lately... great stuff, man! Love that you were playing that white Kramer '84 is it? Been thinking of getting one of those to create my own 5150! I'm really looking forward to you being on the Johnny Beane TV Exclusively Van Halen show this coming Friday! Good stuff!!!

Cool teacher!

Nice mug!

Thank you!!!

Thanks ! one detail on the great hook: The third time, when it ends on the higher note (A -G), my ears also hear that the C arpeggio starts on C instead of the F. This larger arpeggio opens up the riff beautifully to end the hook :)

He jumps into the guitar guitar solo I get it

Hi Marty Would you be able to do the outro keyboards on guitar?

I’m new to guitar and I’m trying to learn some Van Halen song because Steel Panther introduced me to this band. And I don’t have a pedal yet, do you have a recommendation for a pedal?

Hey this is awsome! I find I am getting a bit too much extranious noise when I am tapping on the g string part? Any thoughts? Do you still mute the low strings with your right hand?

great tone sir...what are you going through here?

Piece of cake

Nice, and great Kramer '84! Matte white?

Save yourself allot of trouble and just invest in some cherry lane tab books or get a subscription to Ultimate Guitar so you can play it the correct way. I like your channel.

actually , the solo is not the same...

I'm sorry to say that the Jump solo you play is very imprecise...lots of notes and phrases Eddie didn't play...or played differently.If you play by ear you have to improve and be more accurate before giving lessons...

Your tutorial is a lot of talking zip your mouth

I don't get all that tapping you did? Thats not in the song, and its not even the right style of tapping he does. He rolls through the notes not just hammer on/trills with tapping. You lost me there

Thanks!
