The best possible promo a music store could ask for. Loved this! Brought my 10 year old daughter into a local store and the sound of someone playing some licks riveted her attention. She was watching the guy closely and stores need to appreciate you guys taking a moment that very likely inspires all the rest of us 'students'.
I would have just handed you a really expensive guitar and stood at the door saying to anyone who came in "if you want to sound like that, you gotta have a guitar like that" Edit: I forgot about this comment, its 4 yrs later and I am now a legitimate salesman😂 not a guitar salesman though
“You’re not going to see a lot of Eddie Van Halen clones being stars in their own right. There’s a billion of these guys who can play note-perfect renditions of other people’s music. They spent all their time perfecting something that someone else has already done...” - Marty Friedman.
I agree with this completely to an extent but I’ll say also the guys good, Eddie himself has impacted so many people so many generations 💯💯🔥🔥 RIP to the Mozart of guitar there will never be another one like him those a big shoes to fill for anyone Eddie is a big inspiration for guitar and piano he really had the style that’s so catchy so bright, tone alone was absolutely and still amazing to hear 🔥💯 never forget never forgotten legends never die.
Yeah but this isn’t a cover of Eruption, this is a dude playing like Eddie would (although other influences there too, the pinch harmonics scream (pun intended) Dimebag). Not even writing a song either, just randomly doing shit on a guitar and his knowledge of music theory and flawless technique make the improvised stuff still sound like EVH playing. There can’t be a “billion” players like that.
Marcus Hurt hey man just asking cuz I want to work at a music store how is it at GC and what is the process of hiring? Is there any requirements other than like a ged or diploma and some type of music background?
Lil Scremo Sorry I have never worked at a music store, I'm only commenting as a fellow guitarist visiting a store. Sitting next to Tyler and this kind of pro playing is far better on my ear than the teenage beginners you hear. Which there's nothing wrong with that.. everyone starts somewhere but as someone who would be working there or like me who may visit for an extended period of time then one teenage beginner after another after another becomes a bit of a headache. I will say I have worked retail and all in all retail sucks PERIOD. No matter what it is, guitars, cars, clothes or TVs. Very rough work on the ego and soul.
Yup lol. I don't work in one bit I am there several times a week hanging out and I know exactly what you mean. Sucky part for you is you can't just leave if it gets too bad lol.
In all my years of playing music, I have spent a lot of time in music stores listening to people with no ability try and play something over their heads. I would LOVE to run into more guys like you in the music store! Very nice solo!
You said it. I recently seen a salesman drag a ladder over & grab a $3,000 Les Paul off the wall & the customer couldn’t play to save his life! Of course he didn’t buy the guitar…..
Damn dude, you're pretty good. You really got that EVH style down, and the sound is convincing too. I would enjoy hearing that quality of playing while at a guitar store (super rare).
I didn't hear any shredding there. Lots of legato, lots of tapping, lots of natural and pinch harmonics, all very nicely done and cleanly played, but no shredding.
@@OrignalElidest I'm not sure it's "my" definition but from my understanding and what I've always seen over the last 20 years that people have been posting vids online (forums back in the day), shredding is when mostly every note is picked, either economy or alternate picking. This video doesn't really contain that.
Amazing the number of negative comments here. It's just a another guy who like playing a guitar and likes music. Why does it have to be so much more than that to simply check out a video? Not like he was talking shit to anyone.
Shit man nice playing, can really hear EVH influence with your playing! Fuck all these people with their negative comments dude! I’m from Canada, and unfortunately we don’t have any Guitar Centers up here (that I know of?), but I used to play for hours in guitar shops. And it’s a well known fact that Stevie Ray Vaughan used to do the same thing too for hours and hours! Keep up the good shredding brother🤘🏻
Nice playing but I'm sure the people that work at Guitar Center get a bit tired of people coming in to show off. It's gotta happen constantly if you work there. At least you didn't play Smoke on the water or Stairway to heaven!
I worked in a guitar store for years. I used to walk up and turn them down. I can't tell you how many times I would get "I wanna talk to the manager." I would reply, "I AM the manager" and then walk away.
Taurus Viking You were the one that mentioned going to HR.. PUSSY BOI. I was just giving you shit for being a whiny assed tattler and before you go running your mouth about how "corporate" anyone is, keep in mind that you are just as much to blame for shopping in places that are corporate. The phone in your hand that you are responding with was made by a corporation as is most of the stuff in your house as well as whatever vehicle you get around in unless mommy is still driving you to school.
Shane Graham Still no reason not to play great, then look at the guy that's better than you, practice your ass off and become better than him. Rinse repeat. That's part of the game man lol. That's what I do.
The real reason you get kicked out is the employees are tired of brushing your beard hair out of the guitars after you leave. I think I actually saw your beard-hair ball roll down the stairs and start playing the drums after hours one night. The next morning it posted a youtube video “the real reason Cats cough me up.”
That was some of the best classic metal I have ever heard. It wasn’t brutal, but it was sweet. You could call it Sugar Metal. Sweet metal with plenty of sugar on it!
Maybe because your not the only one in the store and other customers may be trying to talk to the sales staff about a purchase and not just in there to make a TH-cam video.
All you shit talkers are why i hate playing in guitar stores. Its not dudes like this guy. I can handle hearing 2 and a half minutes of a guy being better than me at guitar. He's busy doing his own thing. You need to crank an amp a bit to get a good sound out of it. is he supposed to play shittier so you feel better about yourself? You don't like shred so that means nobody else should like it either? I'd much prefer being in a guitar store with a dude that thinks guitar is fun than a joyless prick who can only make themselves feel better by putting other people down. And as a final note, saying "this guy isn't buying anything, not spending money, and he's making it hard for the rest of us good consumers!" is most unrock and roll shit that I've ever heard.
This! I don't care for shredding. I know it takes lots of practice and dedication, but it's not my thing. However, if that's what you do and that's how you test an instrument you're interested in, have at it. I'm gonna sit and strum after you're done. Hope you enjoy the new axe! Why does everyone hate everyone else nowadays?
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get yourself heard. It got me here, and I'll say YOU SLAY! Keep it going! Hopefully you DON'T get kicked out of Guitar Center for it! ;P
ketchup surely he has practiced day after day for a long time. Anyone with time can look for excercises and repeat them brainlessly over and over again, but this guy’s vibrato is not just a trick, is not just practice, definitely is not something that everyone can do. This guy has also developed the musicality to play tasteful vibratos, and thats not something every shredder can say
Anyone who says he's not buying anything, have you considered the free advertising he is providing for Guitar Center. Plus, he shreds. More power to him!
One of the most down to earth guys I know. He also plays great and obviously knows how to get views on TH-cam! Winners focus on goals, you haters only focus on winners.
I dont care whos licks hes playing or how loud he is, he is quite talented. I think hes well justified in the fact that hes trying to push the guitar to its limits to the best extent possible to see if he is comfortable playing it. Guitars arent chea.p no point in playing smoke on the water for 5 seconds then buying it because it looks pretty if your not confident yoy can do something with it.
Better then the dudes who can only play one riff of the same song because they can’t really play - when I’m there I love seeing someone who obviously has love for a guitar this much.
Kicked out? Hell I would pay you to stay. You were killing it! Did a great job with the EVH licks for sure. Most people, like myself, would slop through most the of that. You sound very clean!! 🤘🏻
I don't know why they'd kick you out. I'd come in just to hear you play. I would think knowing a guitar could sound that great would be a major selling point.
For anyone wondering what guitar this is: it's a "Mean Street Guitars" knock off of a Synyster Custom S (Synyster Gates' of Avenged Sevenfold Custom guitar)
Guitars that have been broken in feel way better anyway, why do you think the used market is so big? I get the feeling you don't actually play for some reason.
Sounds great, Tyler. You must be a huge fan of EVH. Nothing wrong with that. Love listening to your technique. Also, your righthand speedpicking technique is killer. Don’t let the haters get under your skin.
I knew at least 100 of these guys in the 80's. None of them could ever play in a band for more than a day, but it's _not_ because they only knew one 5 note scale. I've heard some who knew a lot less sound worlds better.
Said by a guy who can’t do half the shit he just saw in pentatonic. Ive found out through the years that the only reason people butch about pentatonic is because they’re jealous. You don’t think the pattern recognition that goes into understanding the pentatonic to such a degree can’t be utilized with other modes/scales and so forth? You’re just jealous dude. Get better at pentatonic.
I swear guitarists are some of the biggest pricks I know. This guy rips!! Swallow your ego and give credit where it’s due. So if you’re not good you shouldn’t play cause it sounds bad, but if you shred it’s being flashy? Nonsense! Let people do them. You rock man
@@Tyler_Hodges So... did you buy the guitar? NO?!!! I am SHOCKED! How many times have you played that guitar without buying it? How many days a week do you go there to "test out" guitars? Have you EVER bought a guitar over $600 with your own money? Have you moved out of your parents house yet? Had a job more than 6 months?
maxraider2 Thanks! It’s a mean street, it played similar to the ones I make so I had to make a video ha. Thought about buying it to resell but I’m afraid the paint job wouldn’t attract many people lol.
Erikx oh ok. Sorry for the mistake. They do look really similar and it looks like the kind of guitar kramer would make ya know so i got it confused and ive never heard of them but thanks for the correction bud
Wow... your speed picking hand is so steady it's incredible! They probably kick you out cuz you scare away all the 10 year olds who can only play smoke on the water. You're an absolute beast!
Michael Arias exactly! They are trying to sell to the parents of these ten year olds and making it an oppressive atmosphere doesn't do that. Why can't he go busking if he needs attention?
It's even harder to do when there's some jackoff with his amp turned to 10 shitting out the same van Halen noise every wannabe rockstar has played for the past 40 years when they come in the store. A little courtesy goes a long ass way in this world
What’s wrong with Smoke on the Water? It’s a great song and Deep Purple is one of the original heavy metal bands. I just heard it again on the radio today, always lovely. So fucking what if the riff is relatively simple. Simple riffs are often the best. Sick of all these “haha it’s just smoke on the water” jokes. Or Iron Man or Enter Sandman or whatever.
JesusIAmFat It is very similar though. You have to admit. The Syn Gates one even has a special edition limited edition version which even has the same exact colors. They only made 50 of them a few years back. The paint job and the pin stripings are very similar
The best possible promo a music store could ask for. Loved this! Brought my 10 year old daughter into a local store and the sound of someone playing some licks riveted her attention. She was watching the guy closely and stores need to appreciate you guys taking a moment that very likely inspires all the rest of us 'students'.

YES! There was a video like that on here a few years ago, but they took it down for whatever reason. I wish they would put it back up.
Damn dude, you're pretty good. You really got that EVH style down, and the sound is convincing too. I would enjoy hearing that quality of playing while at a guitar store (super rare).
Sad day to read so many comments about EVH. Rip.
Dang. Just happened to come across this video again and found my own comment while scrolling...
If you keep getting kicked out of guitar centers then here must be something wrong with guitar centers...
Ahhh you're the "I'm not here to buy, just listen to me shred loudly" guy....yeah I'd kick you eventually too.

I’m going to open up a Guitar Center and pay this guy to sit and shred all day.
I wonder if anyone that's gotten kicked out has said "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet."
But your kids are gonna love it
guy's killing it!! if it WAS my store I'd have him come in and play any time, brings customers and WHAT AM I SELLING GUITARS!!!!
John Kolinoff your also selling crack in the basement if your shop. Don't deny it I know.
ChokeMeMistress. Nice name..
You probably get kicked out because there were a dozen other guys that played all the same stuff before you came in.
Oh you made me laugh
ChokeMeMistress
I've now reached my goal for the day. :)
" look at all the van halen licks I know" ..... well done but who cares?
loved the playing
Its okay if you want to play for a bit but does that amp really have to be on volume 600%?
totally nailled eddie tone!!!! sounds good to me👍👍
Man ..id listen to you shred all day ..that's class😀
Damn nice! Gezzz to be able to play like that, I wish. Right on man thanks. Enjoyed that.
Sounds great, Tyler. You must be a huge fan of EVH. Nothing wrong with that. Love listening to your technique. Also, your righthand speedpicking technique is killer. Don’t let the haters get under your skin.
Kids, this is what happens when you only know the pentatonic scale. Don’t be that guy.
I knew at least 100 of these guys in the 80's. None of them could ever play in a band for more than a day, but it's _not_ because they only knew one 5 note scale. I've heard some who knew a lot less sound worlds better.
Said by a guy who can’t do half the shit he just saw in pentatonic. Ive found out through the years that the only reason people butch about pentatonic is because they’re jealous. You don’t think the pattern recognition that goes into understanding the pentatonic to such a degree can’t be utilized with other modes/scales and so forth? You’re just jealous dude. Get better at pentatonic.
Jelly?
There were pentatonic licks but you're deaf if you can't hear the use of diatonic notes
kkash72 foreal I didn't notice until I read this comment lol
I swear guitarists are some of the biggest pricks I know. This guy rips!! Swallow your ego and give credit where it’s due. So if you’re not good you shouldn’t play cause it sounds bad, but if you shred it’s being flashy? Nonsense! Let people do them. You rock man
Alex Marquez Thanks man! And I agree, you just can’t win these days lol
Its not even that. Its that its boring. Literally just running the same scales over and over. No skill at all
@@Tyler_Hodges So... did you buy the guitar? NO?!!! I am SHOCKED!
How many times have you played that guitar without buying it?
How many days a week do you go there to "test out" guitars?
Have you EVER bought a guitar over $600 with your own money?
Have you moved out of your parents house yet? Had a job more than 6 months?
I hate people who try to show off at Guitar Center and play outdated finger tapping as if they were stuck in the 80s with Van Halen.
Sounds great!
Stairway to heaven denied.......lol
Yankee allday one day the Excalibur will be mine.
Bacon Sizzle ooo yes
What brand is that guitar ?Love the playing !
maxraider2 Thanks! It’s a mean street, it played similar to the ones I make so I had to make a video ha. Thought about buying it to resell but I’m afraid the paint job wouldn’t attract many people lol.
Thanks for the info !Best playing i've heard in GC ,yes really !
maxraider2 kramer
tkkouhai Dude its not a Kramer its a Mean street, its simelar to a Kramer.
Erikx oh ok. Sorry for the mistake. They do look really similar and it looks like the kind of guitar kramer would make ya know so i got it confused and ive never heard of them but thanks for the correction bud
How is that technique from 2:34 called? And how do you do that? Great playing!
Fantastic tapping
Wow... your speed picking hand is so steady it's incredible!
They probably kick you out cuz you scare away all the 10 year olds who can only play smoke on the water. You're an absolute beast!
Michael Arias exactly! They are trying to sell to the parents of these ten year olds and making it an oppressive atmosphere doesn't do that. Why can't he go busking if he needs attention?
It's even harder to do when there's some jackoff with his amp turned to 10 shitting out the same van Halen noise every wannabe rockstar has played for the past 40 years when they come in the store. A little courtesy goes a long ass way in this world
@@PiPArtemis lol
What’s wrong with Smoke on the Water? It’s a great song and Deep Purple is one of the original heavy metal bands. I just heard it again on the radio today, always lovely. So fucking what if the riff is relatively simple. Simple riffs are often the best. Sick of all these “haha it’s just smoke on the water” jokes. Or Iron Man or Enter Sandman or whatever.
Has the same paintjob as a Schecter Synyster Custom-S but on a different guitar. Interesting
Darkhalo314 not at all. Dumbass
JesusIAmFat It is very similar though. You have to admit. The Syn Gates one even has a special edition limited edition version which even has the same exact colors. They only made 50 of them a few years back. The paint job and the pin stripings are very similar
Darkhalo314 I was thinking the exact same thing.
Darkhalo314 joker right
JesusIAmFat Shut up, cranky ass moron
Love the EVH style! Suggestions on where to begin learning this style on guitar? Just learning EVH solos?
What kind of guitar amp did you use in this video? The tone sounded awesome!
