Hello everyone! Today marks 10 years since this video had been uploaded; thank you for all the kind words and the suggestions left in the comments through the years which motivated me to keep playin, practicing, discovering🙏🏻.
Playing the Beat it solo without a whammy bar reminds me of that time Luke Skywalker was flying through the caverns of the Death Star; turned off his targeting computer and used the force.
So tapping is easy just build up the speed, especially when it gets faster. Pinching is also easy you just need to know where on the string (in the middle ). Legato ist the hardest one to learn.
RIP Eddie always great, always the best 1955-2020 ❤️ the world of the guitar today is in mourning, for many a One more guitarist, For me a legend that today rocks with other greats Eddie is going to get you a lot ❤️
i was still in highschool trying to learn beat it solo when i found this. nearly a half decade later, youtube algorithm brings me back to this video and still made me starstrucked with the thickness of your tone and the mad skills. Props to you :)
Old king cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he So he called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three. Sorry i couldnt resist! Thanks for the kind words by the way!
The way you play the part at 0:42 up above the 12th fret, it's slightly different from 99% of every other beat it solo. Something about your timing/phrasing...I'm not dissing in any way, I like the way you play it, there was just something in that slight bit of difference that stood out for me 👍 Great cover btw, very hard WITH a whammy bar never mind without Very
Been listening to a lot of Van Halen recently, and it's funny, I never knew that Eddie was the guys who played this solo, but as soon as I saw this video, it clicked almost immediately...
@Apostle7 77 You and Jesus seem to be quite full of love, so why do we need to repent? Oh, hold on, correction - Jesus WAS full of love, but apparently now he's coming. Got it.
My fingers simply do not articulate so beautifully and so damn fast so I went the route of slow improvisational blues rock. 🙃 Bravo on your incredible skills my friend, bravo!! 👏👏👏🤠👏👏👏
Legend! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥 💥 The thing I love about this solo is the very start bit with the bend and harmonic tap - easy to remember , and even if you forget the rest of the solo you can still play that bit easy af❗ Not played a regular electric guitar in years but next time I do I hope I remember this solo 🎶

😂😂😂
Lmao
You did it with that one ☝️ 😆
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Red Five, I’m going in!
I didn't know it was possible to play a van Halen solo without a whammy bar
it isn't
Whammy Bar its like a "Bending Bar"
Messy Room Studios I can do it
i igreen with you Man Playng guitar like this kk
Messy Room Studios right now
Jokes on you, I can't even play with or without the whammy anyway
LMAO
Yo same 😥
ahahahaha
Closest I’ll ever get is playing it on easy on guitar hero

I didnt know david wallace could play the guitar
Suck it !
JP Napiza well he didn’t get fired for nothing that I can give you lol
i got told those dunder mifflin's paychecks bring you depression for a gibson! good deal to me!
Lol
Suck it
That pinch harmonic at the end was exquisit
As a beginner I always wonder, when I watch people play like this: "is it possible to attain this power?"
with hard work and some luck, yea
Not from a jedi...
GB 56 no such thing as luck with guitar playing. It’s all hard work
Not from a Star Wars nerd...unless they teach Guitar..
anything he can do, you can do.
Don't take that too seriously though ofc,
Damn that’s impressive. But I think I’ve mastered my ability to Beat It Solo
Had to read twice. Nice.
oh that took me a minute
lmao me
Lol
Very funny and clever
Great job man. 9 people are deaf
Baz thanks a lot man!
78 now
They're annoyed he did what slash couldn't
7.4k now
256 poor deaf people.

You murdered that solo. Great job bro!!!🤟
When you murder a solo it means you played it very poorly.
@@tucansamwell6209 yeah good point. In our neck of the woods we say You smashed it 🙂
@@stevesalt9005 nahhh son
rule of thumb, just dont use idioms or figurative speech😂
@@stevesalt9005 depends where you’re from
0:24 it's for myself
thats the possible part of the solo 😂
ourselves ☭
One of the best renditions of this I've ever heard. You've got nice technique and a great vibrato!
I don't know why this has appeared in my recommended after six years, all I know is that I must like!
same here! Just saw his video and amazed with his skill and understanding the music
Appeared in mine just now. TH-cam is weird lol
That pinch at the end gave me goosebumps. Incredible performance
Ya made it look effortless.
And he actually played it instead of cutting together a million takes and miming along to it like most TH-cam guitarists. Incredible.
Just like EVH used to play
i was still in highschool trying to learn beat it solo when i found this. nearly a half decade later, youtube algorithm brings me back to this video and still made me starstrucked with the thickness of your tone and the mad skills. Props to you :)
That very last pinch harmonic was totally badass 🤘🔥🎸
dude, you just made realize how deep into guitar playing people went. Like 40 years ago already they did it all :D amazing playing.
The fact that you did this without a whammy bar & still sounded like you used one is just awesome💯🎸
This makes me appreciate what an amazing solo it was. Perfect.
Watched twice instantly! Will use for my learning, thank you and good job!
You re welcome! Thanks to you for watching, glad to be helpful!
Fantastic technique. Blown away.
When you still have algebra homeworks but passion calls.
I’ve seen it all now...wow.. that last pinch is insane man...goose bumps!
That Paul sounds killer.
Great job all around...
A dreamy 1 minute of every guitarist that cannot be experienced without 20 years of tiers and blood.
more like 3 or 4 years
Best rendition yet. Even Slash and Orianthi could learn from this.
Whoa man not only did you crush it. But even without the whammy bar, this is easily one of the most accurate versions out there!
Old king cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he So he called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Sorry i couldnt resist!
Thanks for the kind words by the way!
nah he played that part wrong 0:31
HIS CHOPS ARE TOO RIGHTEOUS! THE HELMETS CAN’T HANDLE THIS LEVEL OF ROCK AND ROLL!
I could watch this all day
Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen are playing in the beautiful sky right now. The King of Pop and The Tapping King..
That was one of the best tones I’ve heard so far
Rest in Peace, Eddie:(
This is definitely in my top 3 favorite solos
The fact that Eddie improvised this and sent it to micheal Jackson without telling his band kills me
Beautiful
I hope that guitar is over eighteen.
Hugh Jass haha not overdone🦆🤣
😂
You killed me 😂
this needs thousands of likes that is so funny lmao
stunning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His mouth at 0:58 just shows how good that pinch was
You are literally the definition of “its not the guitar, its the player”
Yanalip it’s a gibson, probably the most expensive guitar you could get
Notice at the beginning of the solo that same riff is at the end of Mötley Crües “Dr Feelgood”
that is how slash played.
your just simply too good bro
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen......
Will always be one my all time favourite guitar solos

Great cover btw, very hard WITH a whammy bar never mind without
Very
Man I feel the effort put into this amazing
Without floyd!!! Amazing dude.
God damn it dude... You absolutely nailed that.
dar esse solo sem alavanca não é pra qualquer um, parabens cara
Maluco é brabo na guitarra
Dude you nailed it.....to the cross
RIP EVH.
Wow...The Best!!! No Doubt...!
do you have tab??
That.........that was beautiful
0:57 what technique is this?
ijustphysco pinch harmonics
@@danielc9606 thanks
Called a "SQUEAL"
smokey mcbongwater it’s a pinch harmonic but ok
the technical term is "Squealioli"
Well done!!! The solo with whammy is hard, but without must be even harder :O
Eddie at home:
except he’s 100% what we want from Eddie at home
He actually has a few les pauls himself
That ghost note at the end made my day. You're good man, and a guitarist. Thank you.
Great job...do you have a tab for this I could use?
CLEAN like a baby’s bump!!😍
Respect bro 30 years old and still living at parents home. But buy a Gibsons. Priorities should made. ;-)
Nice work, good sound and on a par with all the whammy lovers...
Tocas increíble bro, te mereces un like...

What guitar is it? It sounds so great!
Gorka Albiol Rodriguez it’s a Gibson Les Paul Signature T!
You sir, deserves a medal! Awesome!
first off, what’s a Whammy bar?
Perfekt gespielt. Super 👍
ABSOLUTELY NOT a big fan of mj's stuff tbh, but that solo was just perfect.
Well I mean it is EVH on the guitar not MJ 😂
I'm a drummer but I was still impressed...
very clean and precise, keep up!!!!
those 316 people are probably the "yoUr'E UsiNG ThE WroNG GuITaR" type
Very nice guitar. Classic.
how does one get the harmonics in the beginning when he taps the guitar screams
Neil Slater you touch iT at the perfect time and dont really press on the fret
Goosebumps everytime
But was that LP still in tune after?
It's a Les Paul - it's never in tune. You see all those bends? That's him bending it into tune.
Jimmy Page did crazier stuff on a Les Paul, just saying...
@@joshajcip how it stayed fairly in tune while Jimmy murdered it we will never know
Wow that's impressive, nice little piece of improvisation, excellent 🤟🤟🤟
Beautiful guitar i have the same style but its a tokai not a real gibson D:
Gnarliest shredding I've ever seen on an LP!!
tabs pleaseeeeee
Im glad that people like you exist
Who's here at year 2019??
😱 increíble!
Y que hermoso hombre por Dios!!!!!💗😘😘😘
Christ is coming repent choose him today I love you all.
wtf
@@lapinus obliviously the solo was so good it made him believe in god

Wow. Took six years for this to find me but glad it did. 🎸 ❤️
Great playing! Good job! This video deserves more recognition!

That pinch harmonic ahhhh
yeaahh broo 🤘🏾🔥. amazing 😳
Iconic solo, you nailed it.
You nailed that last pinch holy crap
This is so good, wow its beautiful man
My fingers simply do not articulate so beautifully and so damn fast so I went the route of slow improvisational blues rock. 🙃
Bravo on your incredible skills my friend, bravo!! 👏👏👏🤠👏👏👏
probably the best one i’ve ever heard
Why can I not stop repeating this
Me too
Legend! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥
