Hail to the King! He gave my teenage years a meaning and my entire life was based around (VH)music! I still at 60 listen and play every single day Van Halen stuff. I listen to all music but I always come back to Eddie and I go:" that's why"! When I hear stuff like this amazing video by Tom! Thank you so much for bringing us together,it feels like family. lol
Amazing playing! Eddie was such an amazing musician. I am not a shredder at all and will probably never be able to play EvH stuff but love seeing other people crush his parts! 🤘🏻
Really really good playing. Good job dude. Can I ask how do you learn your songs? Do you tab them out by ear or just listen and commit everything to memory.
Hard to get a good tone to mix with these backing tracks for this that are floating around on youtube. I did the same thing: crank the mids, cut the bass. It's just one of those songs that doesn't mix well live IMO.
This was the only version of Panama played with a lower gain! Everybody thinks Eddie had all this gain and he did not! The majority Of others covering this are using way too much gain!
Pretty good but quite stiff compared to the original. Too "safe" if you will. Those low open E bumps on top of the chord were also rushed. The breakdown (bridge) is also just played wrong in the beginning BUT, you're one of the only ones I've ever seen that gets the Cb over the E right - until the timing in the end of that phrase. I'm shocked at how many people miss that with the cool dissonance it creates so kudos!
@@ilDuce332so if a journalist sees that Lionel Messi didn’t play a good match, he has to play better than him to raise the point. Ridiculous concept. Analysis is an expertise as such: show me yours 😂 But mainly I don’t teach other people how to play it - again your version is nice but we need to transmit and maintain the legacy - and you can improve your playing
@@ilDuce332 😆 As if I care what you think. I am *from* this era and woodshed TF out of this song. Beyond your breadth of capabilities or comprehension. No internet. No youtube lessons. ALL by ear after deeply analyzing a track rewinding a tape or moving a needle. Shit that you (assuming you can *even play a note* ) have had handed to you for the last 20 yrs. Getouttahee, kid. Now I do my own stuff and don't play covers. I was offering an observation, breaking it down a bit. Its very good but it is covering a classic by a master so ya, it might just end up getting scrutinzed a bit, ya know. F'kn deal, son.
It's kind of amazing that your tone is that bad, here and now in 2023. Getting a more authentic VH tone today is as simple as a plugin or a preset in a modeller or software amp sim. Your playing is solid, but your tone production needs to level up big time.
Love it how the boldest comments seem to come from accounts with no content, who state their subjective opinions as fact. I’m absolutely sure you could do better, please show us your superior 1984 tone sir! To your disgust, I’m actually happy with this tone, and have used it many of my EVH videos, where many kind folks have commented on their appreciation for this preset. But they’re all wrong, as you’re clearly the expert 😁
It’s not the best but it’s close enough for most non-musicians to not notice a difference. I’m a musician and it’s close enough for me to not care. I’d do Van Halen covers with this sound.
Bro your tone is amazing😂 I have a 5150 iconic, so I understand tone. Rest assured that anyone commenting about tone have never heard a tube amp in person, probably not even a guitar in person💀 amazing stuff man
@@careyj2819 That's kind of dumb. I think his tone needs work and as for what I have...five Marshalls made before 1978, four 70s and 80s Fenders, and five Mesas at this very moment. I know what a good tone is. There's not an SS amp in the place other than a Fractal modeller. But if all you have is a 5150, I can understand your lack of understanding of tone. LOL.
Thanks for watching Shredders! Download this Helix Preset and learn to play guitar with me here: tomshreds.mykajabi.com/
This is like Addams family's "thing" playing guitar! 😂 Awesome, man. Great job. Hail to King Edward Forever ❤

Wow, thank you!
@@TomShreds he's right. The nuances are there. Very well done.
Hey Shredders! What Van Halen song should I cover next? Something DLR or Hagar?
"Top Jimmy" guitar solo would be nice ❤
@@Wolf.51.50 Need a Ripley Stereo guitar! I'll add it to the shopping list.
@@TomShreds you can do just the solo... 😉
Please do Secrets!!! I'm having some frustrations trying to learn it. Also the solo shreds.
@@jamesragsdale8202 BANGER. Love a good shuffle.
Panama can be covered only with a guitar with those colours. 🤩
Nailing it to the wall! Amazing playing, Tom. Really digging your production too. World class 🤘🏼
Cheers Tone 😁🎸
That pick you added to the last verse was sick btw
Totally rad dude!
EVH was a such a great songwriter. You capture the spirit! I have the same axe. One of my favorite!
God bless U brother.
No need to say a single word about that beauty !

NICELY DONE....TAKES ME RIGHT BACK
Perfecto!
Undoubtedly the best Panama cover on YT. Well done sir!
What a sound .. perfect man !!!
Amazing playing! Eddie was such an amazing musician. I am not a shredder at all and will probably never be able to play EvH stuff but love seeing other people crush his parts! 🤘🏻

Miss the 80's, miss proper rock music and man do I miss Eddie.
Great job!
Terima kasih Tom Shreds
Eddie's rhythm parts were so fucking good.
They really were weren’t they? Artworks in themselves.
Top Jimmy
🔥🔥
0:25 I hear the slamdunk intro
Really really good playing. Good job dude. Can I ask how do you learn your songs? Do you tab them out by ear or just listen and commit everything to memory.
Awesome cover mate well done. What gauge strings do you use?
U r amazing
Perfect playing.
Can't see your fingers though during the blurry shots.
Fair enough James. Appreciate your revision! I'll cut down on the artsy shots next time. Thanks for watching and for your feedback.
Hard to get a good tone to mix with these backing tracks for this that are floating around on youtube. I did the same thing: crank the mids, cut the bass. It's just one of those songs that doesn't mix well live IMO.
Aren't we also hearing Ed's guitar in the track you are playing over?
The ultimate compliment! Nope, the isolated tracks contained zero guitar 🎸
Loosen up and your nearly there
Your gear? Tks

It is just me or you also guys hear something from "Slam dunk?
When is VAN HAGAR going back on Tour????... Eddie would WANT THIS TO HAPPEN... F- the Drummer... He did not matter anyway.
Right tunes are the most important for every musical instrument. Or you touched the wrong notes,
Not on a cover meant as a tribute dummy. 😀

we need people like you to maintain the legacy of artists, and correct playing. Good video though, but we need to give the feedback, I do the same
