Van Halen - Jump | Guitar cover WITH TABS | + live fills (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

There are already quite a few versions of Jump on YouTube. I thought I would bring a new angle to my version. I picked Eddie's best live fills (in my opinion) for this version. So this does not follow any specific Van Halen live performance, but selections from different versions over the years.

SOLO:

I had never noticed that swing feel phrasing is quite strongly present in this solo by Eddie. The clearest example of this is bar 81. Sixteenth notes are not straight but with a swing/shuffle rhythm. Same thing in bar 76....swinging sixteenht again...although a little more subtle.

I think Eddie´s sense of swing is just natural thing. It is always present in some form!

By the way, I had never played this solo before. Now, if this song ever comes up for gigs, I'll come through it ;)

Have fun and Merry Christmas everyone ;)
