Van Halen – Running with the Devil – Guitar Lesson

“Running with the Devil” is a rock song and the first track from Van Halen’s 1978 eponymous debut album.

The track fades in with the sound of a car horn. In many ways, this track is the song that started it all, being the first song from the first album and that it sets the tone for the Van Halen attitude when David Lee Roth was the singer in the band. The song has the interesting distinction of being one of the few songs from Van Halen’s early days where Eddie Van Halen used a guitar overdub. The car horns at the beginning were taken from the band’s cars and linked together with a battery.

    I’d love to see a how to play bass video of this song and watch somebody try to explain it very seriously.
