Starting off 2021 with an ESP video spotlight for Darren Stroud on the ESP website. They selected Darren’s tribute video to Eddie Van Halen in which Darren performs his version of “Somebody Get Me A Doctor”.
Note from Darren Stroud:
“This video was inspired by my good friend Susie Cakl (owner of PICKBAY). Susie sent me some genuine Eddie Van Halen picks (even one that he used in 2007 on stage … the pick is sitting in my pickbay necklace in this video). I decided to record one of my favorite Van Halen songs “SOMEBODY GET ME A DOCTOR” and it’s dedicated to Eddie Van Halen. The interesting thing about the early Van Halen recordings … Eddie’s guitar is panned completely to the left. So I grabbed just the right side of the audio and panned it slightly right and panned my guitar totally left. Fun Stuff! I detuned my guitar 1/2 step and plugged straight into my cranked Blankenship Plexi Amp and went to town. This is pretty much the way I expect Eddie would have done it.”
ESP Video Spotlight: It’s always an honor to be selected, spotlighted, and highlighted by ESP as they are Darren Stroud & Missy Percifield’s favorite guitar brand. PowerTribe proudly endorses them. In the video, Darren is playing the LTD EC-256FM in Vintage Natural Finish. The “Horns Up” T-shirts are available at our PowerTribe store.
