[Em] [F#] Hey there, I'm Andy with ProGuitarShop.com and here's your next riff of the day.
It's Van Halen and Unchained.
This [Em] one has a really heavy low end [A] because it's not only half a step down, [E] but drop D
style so you have a C sharp on your low string.
[Em] And to really embellish that chugging sound, [E] there's some strategically placed flanger in there.
But before we start, I want to [B] remind you about Free [F#] Pedal Friday.
Every [E] Friday, Pro Guitar Shop has a free pedal giveaway.
And all you have to do to enter is click this link each week.
It's no secret that Eddie Van Halen used his famous 100 [Em] watt Marshalls on this track.
So for that same [B] warm saturation, we're looking [G] at the C [E]-Mat Mods Brownie.
This one has an FET based circuit which is known to get tube [C#] style saturation [F#] and touch sensitivity.
And for the flange tone, what else [Em] but an MXR 117R.
[B] This Bucker Brigade flanger does a nice job of providing that [E] jet plane swoosh without
sounding harsh on the top end.
And you can find both of [Bm] these pedals right here at ProGuitarShop.com.

While [B] the C-Mat Mods [D#] Brownie dished out a [E] crisp attack with [C#] just the right amount of
high end clarity to give you that brown sound.
And you can find both of these pedals right here at [E] ProGuitarShop [B].com.
