I don't get to go on the radio as a host so this is the next best thing. I listened to Sirius XM and there were people like Steve Vai and Bret Michaels picking their favorite Van Halen songs as a host. So this is my chance to pick my favorites. 

#1 Ain't Talkin Bout Love

Of course this song makes my list, it's one of Eddie's most iconic riffs. I heard they were making fun of punk when they wrote it, only two chords. But, it turned into a memorable song. 

#2 Ice Cream Man

I haven't heard any tributes including this song it's a cover but  some of the best blues playing I've heard. The guitar solo really rips on this one. The blues shredding is unsurpassed. 

#3 Dance the Night Away

   I always loved this riff and feel good vibe, but the tapping harmonics is one of the coolest things you can do on guitar and great melodies. 

#4 Panama

  It's a very fun song to play, I remember jamming this with my band back in my high school days. I heard that it was inspired by AC/DC, using power chords in the chorus. 

#5 Drop Dead Legs

    I hardly hear anyone mention this song, but it has some sweet guitar riffs in it.

#6 Right Now

   A lot of people are fans of the Dave era, but I actually loved some of the more pop, Hagar period. Right Now really shows some of Eddie's piano playing and writing skills. Very inspirational song, I remember hearing it as a kid. 

#7 Runaround

   This is a fun and energetic song, my band used to play it in my garage, we were having the time of our live's pretending we were rockstars. 

#8 Pound Cake

  I'm all about the guitar riff in this song, there's some really cool harmonics going on, and the drill through the guitar was cool as well. 

#9 Don't Tell Me

   I even love some of the 90's stuff, this is a dark and heavy riff. One of those songs that get me pumped. 

#10 Humans Being

   Very few people talk about this song, but it was a promo song for the movie "Twister" which was an awesome movie, I remember as a kid. The riff is pretty sweet as well. 

#11 Me Wise Magic 

  This song was on the "Very Best of Van Halen" compilation album, but the thing that stood out to me most was the wild guitar solo. It was the first time I heard Ed with a wah wah pedal, but it was pretty sick along with the whammy bar. I found this solo influential as it's a very expressive emotional sound. 

Learn To Play Great Electric Guitar Solos

            I started playing guitar at age 14, I found an interest when my friend wanted to play because his Dad had a guitar, he only knew a few songs, ''Back In Black'' and ''Cat Scratch Fever''. We thought it was cool and that we should try to start a band, I first considered playing bass, but then I decided that it wasn't as exciting as the electric guitar. I would even save my lunch money so I could afford my first guitar. I would watch MTV at the time and see bands like ''Lifehouse'' and I wanted a guitar like their's. It all seemed so exciting to me. The first thing I would consider is before you buy a guitar, already have some music you like or that you would like to learn. I didn't know a lot of music, I had heard some classic rock because of my Mom and cousin. My favorite band at the time was the Offspring, and Metallica. So, I knew I would really want to learn some of their song's to begin with. I thought that the Offspring was an easier place to start. I didn't know Van Halen or Led Zeppelin yet. 

         Then the next thing is to decide which guitar to buy, I recommend a local guitar store. I found a store called Mehas Music in Hamilton, Ohio. I first rented a guitar for a few months, then the first guitar I owned was a pacific blue, Yamaha Pacifica. It was a great guitar to learn on. I worked at my Dad's shop to help pay for it, but I mostly paid for it myself. Then I started to look at guitar tabs, and try to understand how to read them before I even got my first guitar, I was googling how to play. Then I would take some guitar lessons, it's good to connect with a teacher and they can show you how to read music or tabs, basic chords, technique and some riffs or songs. 

              After a few months, I was getting ahead of my guitar teacher and learning to read tabs well, so I decided I had enough guitar lessons. So, then my next strategy was looking up guitar tabs online and learning my favorite songs. My favorite guitar tab website was Guitar Tabs Universe. The very first song I learned and that many guitarist learn was ''Smoke on the Water'' by Deep Purple. I didn't even learn to play it right, but then later I would. I learned some basic chords, but then I wanted to take on the challenge. I started learning a bunch of riffs like Metallica ''For Whom The Bell Tolls'', and AC/DC ''Hells Bells''. Then I started to learn the Offspring, the first song I learned all the way through was ''Original Prankster'', I was sharpening my guitar tab sight reading skills. I started to learn much quicker and had a snowball effect. I then learned many other Offspring songs and saw that many of them used similar chords or patterns in the music. 

         Next I really got into Metallica and our whole band learned ''The Unforgiven'', it was the only song that we knew all the way through together as a band. I also recommend buying anthology books. I bought the Van Halen anthology, after I discovered Van Halen in Guitar World magazine, and bought the Van Halen Best Of CD. I saw that ''Eruption'' was the 2nd greatest solo of all time, so I started to learn it after about 6 months of playing guitar. I also had the Led Zeppelin anthology and learned most of the riffs from the early Led Zeppelin era. I also got into Nirvana because of my friends and I learned all the popular hits. 

         One of the most important things to play great guitar solos is that you learn scales. My guitar teacher taught me some scales, but then I started to learn them every week in Guitar World by Zakk Wylde, I eventually learned all of the Pentatonic scales, and how to improvise. The first guitar solo I learned completely was ''Stairway to Heaven'', then this is when I started to improvise and make things up with what I learned from that song. Then the next best thing is to just keep learning more songs, and solos, then you can improvise with many of the riffs or make them your own. 

         The next step would be to learn more scales and learn the major and minor scales up and down the entire neck, I also learned all the notes on the guitar in this phase. I also started to watch many videos of guitar players online, because I was a visual learner. I used Guitar World magazine a lot, because they had lessons every month and I would learn many of those lessons, they would teach me many guitar licks and riffs. Then the process is to keep building your playing, learn more songs and solos. 

       Playing in a band helps, connecting with musicians, but also jamming and improvising. Playing live shows in front of people helps get you comfortable on stage playing in front of others. Our first show was in front of our own family, even though we were very nervous and palms were sweaty. One of the best things that helped my playing was learning lots of exercises, I learned chromatic exercises up and down the neck, as well as legato exercises. It helped to clean up and smooth out my playing, and I also began to practice with a metronome. Everything takes hours of playing as well as a lot of repetition. I would have a Guitar Grimoire book with all the scales, as well as exercise and chord books. The next thing I did was I just kept pushing my playing over the years, learning riffs, practicing repetition, and lots and lots of improvising. 

         I mastered a lot of the Offspring, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Nirvana and Creed. These were the major bands that I was into and influenced by. Then I decided to take on something more challenging and advance my playing. Next it was Stevie Ray Vaughan, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Paul Gilbert. These are the guitar players I liked and were my taste. So, I learned their riff's and song's and began to improvise with it. I kind of combined all the styles and a lot of my favorite riffs, or licks. Then I started to changed them and make up my own original stuff. Another important thing that I did was I would always break things down into smaller parts. I would work on songs in section and riffs, in sections. 

        So, after years of practicing, learning scales, exercises, riffs, licks, and spending time with a metronome practicing repetitiously and also spending a lot of time improvising with scales, then you can become a virtuoso guitar player. You can really almost apply this method to anything.

1. Ship Of Fools 

"Ship Of Fools" 

When the rats are bailing out 
And you are just signing on 
Then you turned and walked away 
There is no love lost here, my friend. 

But you have made a great mistake 
You ate the hook, the sink and bait 
Now you can't get out 
It's much too late. 

The ship of fools keeps sailing on… 
And on and on and on. 

But I can be merciless for sure 
And you'll sail for many moons 
I can't believe you lost your mind 
I'll watch you falling down, again. 

You have been living in a dream 
And I can heat the same old theme 
But nothing's ever what it seems. 

The ships of fools keep sailing on… 
And on and on and on. 

The truth is always hard to face 
Especially when you are in that place 
Like the ship of fools. 

The ship of fools keeps sailing on… 
And on and on and on.

6. I'll See The Light Tonight

I've seen visions in the night 
Passing through the stars 
Who's to run and who's to fight? 

Evil tries to pull me in 
Enslaving me to die 
Who's to lose and who's to win? 

I'll see the light tonight 
Flashing through the sky 
Take my life tonight 

Now, the chaos has begun 
People crying out 
You're all alone, you gotta run 

Victims of circumstance 
Not able to decide 
No, we never had a chance 

I'll see the light tonight 
Flashing through the sky 
Take my life tonight 

Evil tries to pull me in 
Enslaving me to die 
Who's to lose and who's to win? 

Victims of circumstance 
Not able to decide 
No, we never had a chance 

I'll see the light tonight 
Flashing through the sky 
Take my life tonight

10 Ultimate Guitar Riffs and Guitar Tabs with Lyrics

          Guns N' Roses ''Sweet Child O' Mine''

Sweet Child O' Mine 

Guns N' Roses 

She's got a smile it seems to me 
Reminds me of childhood memories 
Where everything 
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky 
Now and then when I see her face 
She takes me away to that special place 
And if I'd stare too long 
I'd probably break down and cry 

Oh, oh, oh 
Sweet child o' mine 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet love of mine 

She's got eyes of the bluest skies 
As if they thought of rain 
I hate to look into those eyes 
And see an ounce of pain 
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place 
Where as a child I'd hide 
And pray for the thunder 
And the rain 
To quietly pass me by 

Oh, oh, oh 
Sweet child o' mine 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet love of mine 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet child o' mine 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet love of mine 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet child o' mine 
Oh yeah yeah 
Oh oh sweet love of mine 

Where do we go? 
Where do we go now? 
Where do we go? 
Oh, oh 
Where do we go? 
(Where do we go now?) 
Oh where do we go now? (Where do we go?) 
Where do we go? (Sweet child) 
Oh where do we go now? 
Ay ay ay ay (where do we go now, where do we go) 
Oh where do we go now? 
Where do we go? 
Oh, where do we go now? 
Oh, where do we go? 
Oh where do we go now? 
Where do we go? 
Oh, where do we go now? 
No, no, no, no, no, no 
Sweet child 
Sweet child of mine

Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train''

Crazy Train 

Ozzy Osbourne 

All aboard! 

Hahahahaha 

Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye... 

Crazy, but that's how it goes 
Millions of people living as foes 
Maybe it's not too late 
To learn how to love and forget how to hate 

Mental wounds not healing 
Life's a bitter shame 
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools 
I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules 
One person conditioned to rule and control 
The media sells it and you live the role 

Mental wounds still screaming 
Driving me insane 
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

I know that things are going wrong for me 
You gotta listen to my words 
Yeah 

Heirs of a cold war, that's what we've become 
Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb 
Crazy, I just cannot bear 
I'm living with something that just isn't fair 

Mental wounds stop healing 
Who and what's to blame 
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

lately things don't seem the same, 
actin' funny but I don't know why 
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.

Purple Haze was in my eyes, 
don't know if it's day or night, 
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind 
is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Metallica ''Seek and Destroy'' 

Seek & Destroy 

Metallica 

Alright 

Scanning the scene in the city tonight 
We're looking for you to start up a fight 
There's an evil feeling in our brains but it's nothing new 
You know it drives us insane 

Running on our way, hiding you will pay 
Dying one thousand deaths 
Running on our way, hiding you will pay 
Dying one thousand deaths 

Searching, seek and destroy 
Searching, seek and destroy 
Searching, seek and destroy 
Searching, seek and destroy 

There is no escape and that's for sure 
This is the end, we won't take anymore 
Say goodbye to the world you live in 
You've always been taking and now you're giving 

Running on our way, hiding you will pay 
Dying one thousand deaths 
Running on our way, hiding you will pay 
Dying one thousand deaths 

Searching, seek and destroy 
Searching, seek and destroy 
Searching, seek and destroy 
Searching, seek and destroy 

Our brains are on fire with a feeling to kill 
And it won't go away until our dreams are fulfilled 
There is only one thing on our minds 
Don't try running away 'cause you're the one we will find 

Running on our way, hiding you will pay 
Dying one thousand deaths 
Running on our way, hiding you will pay 
Dying one thousand deaths 

Searching, seek and destroy

Take my hand 

We're off to never-never land 
We're off to never-never land 
We're off to never-never land

Lyrics 

Load up on guns, bring your friends 
It's fun to lose and to pretend 
She's over-bored and self-assured 
Oh no, I know a dirty word 

Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us 
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido 
Yeah, hey 

I'm worse at what I do best 
And for this gift I feel blessed 
Our little group has always been 
And always will until the end 

Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us 
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido 
Yeah, hey 

And I forget just why I taste 
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile 
I found it hard, it's hard to find 
Oh well, whatever, never mind 

Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello, how low 
Hello, hello, hello 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous 
Here we are now, entertain us 
I feel stupid and contagious 
Here we are now, entertain us 
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido 
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial 
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

Nirvana ''Come As You Are''

Come as You Are 

Nirvana 

Come as you are, as you were 
As I want you to be 
As a friend, as a friend 
As an known enemy 

Take your time, hurry up 
The choice is yours, don't be late 
Take a rest as a friend 
As an old 

Memoria, memoria 
Memoria, memoria 

Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach 
As I want you to be 
As a trend, as a friend 
As an old 

Memoria, memoria 
Memoria, memoria 

And I swear that I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun 

Memoria, memoria 
Memoria, memoria 
(No I don't have a gun) 

And I swear that I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun 
No I don't have a gun
