Brian Tichy (ex-The Dead Daisies, ex-Whitesnake) has shared a guitar play along video, performing Van Halen's "Atomic Punk".
Says Tichy, "It’s better not to be a punk than an ATOMIC PUNK!💥 An EVH b+w gtr, a 5150 1 head, a Marshall cab w 25 watt greenbacks, and an MXR Phaser. Miked w a 57 and some slap-back added for the solo section… Another badass solo and song by King Edward!"
Tichy previously released the video below, along with the following message...
"Who likes elephants? Another amazing sound invented by Eddie Van Halen! It never ends with him! (Filmed back on Sept. 1 in Vancouver while on tour. Stumbled across it looking for another vid..) Not that any of this matters! Haha… What’s more important is hitting the harmonics in the correct order; 5th fret G string, 7th fret B string, 12th fret E string, creating dissonance with the G, F# and E harmonics sounding all together with the volume off. Then quickly dip the wang bar and as you raise it, also raise the volume…. And there ya go! You’re an elephant! Yes I’m sure all you guitarists know this, but it’s so badass. When EVH did this on MTV back in like ‘86, I was blown away!" 👍🏼🎉💥
