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
kernelspy hey thanks! If i remember correctly that’s just the overdrive sound of my old Fender Frontman 25R that I used back in those days! With no other effects ;)
@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.
Man, that is so satisfying to watch and listen to. I wish so bad that I could play the electric guitar like that. It must be such a high to be able to play like Eddie Van Halen!

You did it with that one ☝️ 😆
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Red Five, I’m going in!
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

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,
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
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
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.
0:24 it's for myself
thats the possible part of the solo 😂
ourselves ☭
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 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
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
One of the best renditions of this I've ever heard. You've got nice technique and a great vibrato!
September 2023 I’m nine years late on this but glad I found it. Hope you’re still jamming bro.
This was the solo we all wished Slash to do in the day
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
The fact that Eddie improvised this and sent it to micheal Jackson without telling his band kills me
That very last pinch harmonic was totally badass 🤘🔥🎸
HIS CHOPS ARE TOO RIGHTEOUS! THE HELMETS CAN’T HANDLE THIS LEVEL OF ROCK AND ROLL!
That pinch at the end gave me goosebumps. Incredible performance
When you still have algebra homeworks but passion calls.
Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen are playing in the beautiful sky right now. The King of Pop and The Tapping King..
dude, you just made realize how deep into guitar playing people went. Like 40 years ago already they did it all :D amazing playing.
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!
Best rendition yet. Even Slash and Orianthi could learn from this.
I could watch this all day
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 is how slash played.
That Paul sounds killer.
Great job all around...
Wow...The Best!!! No Doubt...!
This makes me appreciate what an amazing solo it was. Perfect.
The fact that you did this without a whammy bar & still sounded like you used one is just awesome💯🎸
Rest in Peace, Eddie:(
A dreamy 1 minute of every guitarist that cannot be experienced without 20 years of tiers and blood.
more like 3 or 4 years
That pinch harmonic ahhhh
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
woah you tore that up!! Frets are on fire!
Fantastic technique. Blown away.
*I hunted this video down for a year just for that last **_pinch_*
kirtolaos: Haven't uploaded in three years
youtube algorithms: 2021 is the year
Clean playing man. Keep it up! 🤘🏻
😱 increíble!
Y que hermoso hombre por Dios!!!!!💗😘😘😘
Will always be one my all time favourite guitar solos
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen......
Tocas increíble bro, te mereces un like...
That was one of the best tones I’ve heard so far
That ghost note at the end made my day. You're good man, and a guitarist. Thank you.
Eddie at home:
except he’s 100% what we want from Eddie at home
He actually has a few les pauls himself
Notice at the beginning of the solo that same riff is at the end of Mötley Crües “Dr Feelgood”
I’ve seen it all now...wow.. that last pinch is insane man...goose bumps!
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
Muchas gracias, man, me has motivado a revisar otros solos en los que se usa el floyd, y ver como los puedo tocar con mi 'Les paul'.
Saludos!
Without floyd!!! Amazing dude.
This is definitely in my top 3 favorite solos
Speechless ! Wonderful!
RIP EVH.

Great cover btw, very hard WITH a whammy bar never mind without
Very
Anyone else do guitar faces when he hit those PERFECT pinches? Can't just be me right?
Man I feel the effort put into this amazing
dar esse solo sem alavanca não é pra qualquer um, parabens cara
Maluco é brabo na guitarra
So awesome! Which guitar efx and amp did you use?
kernelspy hey thanks! If i remember correctly that’s just the overdrive sound of my old Fender Frontman 25R that I used back in those days! With no other effects ;)
Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱
it sound more awesome than I thought, I mean, when you have ability you don't need much, what a play 👏🏻👏🏻
Great job...do you have a tab for this I could use?
do you have tab??
Beautiful
stunning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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"
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!
Beautiful guitar i have the same style but its a tokai not a real gibson D:
first off, what’s a Whammy bar?
Iconic solo, you nailed it.
Gnarliest shredding I've ever seen on an LP!!
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
tabs pleaseeeeee
MARAVILHOSO 👏👏
Dude, that was awesome. That guitar is something else.
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 😂
those 316 people are probably the "yoUr'E UsiNG ThE WroNG GuITaR" type
Beautifully done
Just brilliant, Sir you just impressed someone today!!!
Respect bro 30 years old and still living at parents home. But buy a Gibsons. Priorities should made. ;-)
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
Great playing! Good job! This video deserves more recognition!
God damn it dude... You absolutely nailed that.
Who's here at year 2019??
Please stop rapping that poor guitar or i’ll call the cops (amazing performance btw)
oh trust me
the guitar likes being played like that
Rapping lol
*wrapping
*wraping
reaping*
Wow that's impressive, nice little piece of improvisation, excellent 🤟🤟🤟
Goosebumps everytime
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
@@Nutoleon lol
@@Nutoleon 🤣 ahhhh, that really f_cked me up! My cheeks hurt. Thanks, and happy new year!
@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.
That was absolutely fantastic
You nailed It, man! That was even better than a lot of cover with Floyd Rose on TH-cam
Man, that is so satisfying to watch and listen to. I wish so bad that I could play the electric guitar like that. It must be such a high to be able to play like Eddie Van Halen!
Nice work, good sound and on a par with all the whammy lovers...
One of the best covers of this solo 🤘🤘 I just learned the solo too 👍😎
That was incredible. Big respect.
CLEAN like a baby’s bump!!😍
You are TALENTED AS HELL don’t EVER STOP
