ahhh Tom...We must be kindred spirits! My 2 biggest Rock guitar heroes are Eddie and Yngwie...and you have captured their explosiveness, precision and spirit in your courses. I'm already enrolled in your Swedish Shred Secrets and I will be enrolling in your Shred Like Ed!!!! WhooHoo, thanks!
Many people think of Van Halen as the best at playing solos... in reality his rhythm parts are unmatchable, not technically, but due to the idea he had of the guitar... it was all there, power, groove, tone ... and you are an incredible guitarist, who interprets it at its best:
@@JohnEtter-z3o That dude is really good but, if I’m being a perfectionist, he’s a little sloppy. Timing is sometimes off and leaves little mistakes in. But, he’s way better than I am so who the f am I to talk.
I'd add Pouncake or Judgement day for me, I hear these riffs as the fully evolved Eddie. I love that oyu had Mean Street there though, man that riff is killer!
If you do the Hagar era, I think 5150, Black and Blue, Summer Nights, Poundcake, Amsterdam, Can't Stop Loving You, and Cabo Wabo would be some great choices.
@@zackvanhalen Great choices. Might need to go buy a Transtrem to handle Summer Nights. Totally worth it. Love the Hagar era. Don't know why it cops so much hate. The DLR era was incredible, but why does one have to 'beat' the other you know? Apples and Oranges.
OMFG!!! I've listened to TONS of Eddie covers over the years, but no one has done a better job of encapsulating the tone, the licks and, especially, the FEEL of Eddie!
Awww. Wish I'd have seen them. ZZ Top was my first. Great show. You got to see them in all the raw, effervescent youth that they were while making their best music.
very well done, honest and sincere homage to the immortal Master. as you said, "Eddie will never be conquered" and you've been respectful, i think the Master smiled approvingly 🤘💛🤘
Dang dude you kick ass! It must have taken a good deal of time to play that well and sound so much like Eddie! I was blown away listening to this medley. Simply amazing!
Your tone and playing are amazing! You make it look so easy. "I don't ask for permission!" Unchained is, was, has been and always will be my favorite VH song.
Best cover of 'Jump' solo ive heard yet. The timing of that last bit is _almost always_ messed up in covers; subtle, but so obvious when it's wrong. Nicely done 👍
Eddie van Halen didn't pass away, he just moved to venus where it always rains metal 🤘🤘. But seriously, thank you so much, Sir Edward Van Halen, for the music you gave us. There was never one like you and there will NEVER be another. Thank you for being the legend you were and are, and forever will be. The world of rock/metal was never the same when you entered and it will never be the same when you departed. I love you, sir, you were more than a musician. You were an inspiration, a hero, and a legend, and always will be. I love you, man, Rest easy for me, and God bless.
I'm blown away! You are clearly a dedicated EVH student. Many try, some come close but you kicked ass and took names with this medley. I can't wait for the next installment of the Sammy era. You earned a new subscriber big time! 🤘
❤🎉. Sat he stunned, amazed, in ore.. Then a tear in my eye, thinking of Eddie's passing. Being the age I am, I have every VH vinyl, and then the CD's. ... you awoke my love of every album. Mate, what a tribute. Thank you 😢
Damn that was so good I had to watch it twice in a row I loved the he'll out of it. I KEEP WAITING ON David Lee Roth to start singing when you started playing Panama , you sounded just like Eddie the only other person that I knew could play that was Wolf Gang Van Hallen. Dam Great playing.
AMAZING JOB! Very well done! I'm not familliar with all of Eddie's catalog, but certainly I felt like watching him playing in your play, because you replicate really well his signature swing! Keep on going!
Yeah it’s a little known fact. Jeff Porcaro plays drums on beat it too, after the intro when actual drums come in to double the programmed beat. Such a great song, and album.
Bangers. But his shuffles are so hard to replicate. Makes his lead work look comparatively easy! Might have to go play in a bar for 5 hours a night, 5 days a week and work on it 😅
Its funny to see a EVH stamped on a Fender Strat...not many play with such clarity and smooth technique, I applaud you and wish you well,. Regards~ Gary
Dude your an Amazing Guitarist especially to play this unique style of genius that EVH is, and was. I mean no disrespect but what have YOU made up written put that up on your channel that's what will impress me not playing everyone else's already written stuff. I'll Never have your skills what so ever especially now that I was injured in 2019, and my dream of playing professionally was taken because of permanent nerve damage in my Neck, and Spine so my hands don't work like they use to anymore which sucks it does, I admire your videos, and your talents very much so, and mean no harm but I see so many great Guitarist living in the shadows of all the greats before us, and I can only think why waste that talent create your Stuff be you play what you wanna hear. Dimebag said it best that yes every lic on a guitar has been played used in every way but no body owns them chords them scales they are everyone's take them, and make them your own. That stuck with me hearing that I'd like to see your true potential dude besides yes these AMAZING VIDEOS lol because they are Amazing your special kind of breed to be able to do this but man Be your own❤ I'm a fan now watching this video I'm not jealous in anyway I'm not the keyboard warrior I'm just a no body that admires talent when I see it, and you have it man you do wish I could advance more but sadly my hands won't allow me now with my injuries I try to play and push through it I do but I don't get far before I'm reminded of my injuries and nothing can be done to fix it sadly. But hey I get to watch your videos now so that's cool man keep shredding Mr Shredder 😎 ❤🤗
Cheers for your comment Matt! Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and story. I’m truly saddened to hear about your injury. That may be so, and I do have a few originals floating about. While I do enjoy creating, I love playing and recreating the songs that I love. And I learn a lot along the way too, you know? If you haven’t already, I recommend you checking out my “If EVH, Brian May & Yngwie played on Hotel California”. Plenty of creativity required to whip that up. But I totally hear what you are saying. Thanks again man 🙏
We had VH play in our backyard party in 1974 before any of their own songs were made. They were the #1 backyard garage band in the San Gabriel Valley. It cost us $200 the first time when they played in El Monte Ca. and $300 the second time when the Party in the Desert was busted before it started. I saw them play right after they signed with their record label in 75 or 76 at the Golden West Ballroom in Norwalk Ca. It was a dance hall on Thursday nights for rock and roll and that Thursday night it was a concert that headlined UFO and Van Halen. They both played their first original songs off of their first LP's. It was beyond amazing to hear history being made and nobody knew it at that time. Van Halen definitely was far better than UFO that night, and as history has proven. I am commenting on the Panama video and it's just my opinion...Old fat grandpa lead man that can't sing with a talented tourist back-up band with too many players on stage. When did sweatpants become "Rock-Wear"? I was more than disappointed when I have seen way better cover bands playing at the NASCAR Races in Phoenix Az. Again...This is just my opinion. I have also given advice to a young Chayce Beckham who in the beginning of his songwriting career was into Reggae Music and wrote about what he knew about at the time...Booze, Broads and Blunts. I told his stepdad give him time, he is only writing about what he knows about now. As time went on he would win the American Idol Contest in season 19 in 2021. I hope everyone keeps on rocking and you can like or love whatever kind of music that floats your boat. River Rick out.
Oh my f****** God you are killing it bro you're making me cry all these f****** songs all these great memories rest in peace Eddie Eddie would be f****** shaking your hand and kissing your ass you did a wonderful job
That was great dude. 🤘 I always love watching people play Eddies stuff as his solos are so full of nuance, and it's interesting to see who catches it and plays the tiny little things that matter. Obviously you are doing a medley and a tiny bit of you is going into it also. Hats off dude.

You're smart not easy to find one smart God bless you
@@JohnEtter-z3othank you
I totally agree w/U

5150 percent cool , had to sub . Cheers from New Zealand
Cheers from Tassie ledge 🍻
Just fantastic! 👌

You might enjoy this 😎🎸🤘 th-cam.com/video/DO2wh6Fcoao/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2q0zOs2wNMqzTecU
I wonder how many people understand how much work this musician put into creating this. Unbelievable. Wow.
Cheers Michael. Part 2 is shaping to be twice as long 😅
I Do//// Really Grateful for These Vids!
Mind bending work . Took me three months to learn to play easy stuff like hotel California . Man thjs is awesome
Dude exactly. It’s so beautiful
Tommy makes it look so easy! Nope! Practice! Practice! GO TOMMY GO!
Hey Shredders! Thanks for watching. What EVH moments should I immortalise in the next instalment? I think the Sammy era deserves some love…
jusdgement day, pleasure dome, poundcake (with the electric drill), don't tell me what love can do, human beings ....
If you do the Hagar era, I think 5150, Black and Blue, Summer Nights, Poundcake, Amsterdam, Can't Stop Loving You, and Cabo Wabo would be some great choices.
@@zackvanhalen Great choices. Might need to go buy a Transtrem to handle Summer Nights. Totally worth it.
Love the Hagar era. Don't know why it cops so much hate. The DLR era was incredible, but why does one have to 'beat' the other you know? Apples and Oranges.
it has to be 5150
Awesome
6.00 minutes of pure insanity!!! This is brutality!!!! What memories!!!!
Fantastic reminder that it wasn’t just his insane shredding and tone innovation, but the riffs that were simply awesome.
OMFG!!! I've listened to TONS of Eddie covers over the years, but no one has done a better job of encapsulating the tone, the licks and, especially, the FEEL of Eddie!
Seriously, that TONE.
AGREED!😮
You need to look up Jacob deraps… that’s evh reincarnated
@@acrkiller100
Search Sakura van halen medley
Look up Simon Hosford from Australia
Damn. Eddie would be proud. I love how seamless the song transitions (and use of downtuner) are.
Hopefully Mike! Thanks for watching mate. More EVH content on the way 😀
This was fantastic. Been an EVH fan all my life and appreciate the tribute.
Killer work Tom! You nailed the EVH tone and licks.🤘🤘💥
If Eddie was alive, he'd be so very proud of you!!! ❤❤❤
Nah, he would say “play your own shit and come up with your own style”, just like he told his own son
He is
@@KokoTheGorilla69 exactly. he was very protective and guarded with his work.
Awesome tribute to the greatest guitarist to ever walk this earth. RIP Eddie
This guy need more attention.... Splendid ❤
Agreed!! He's about to blow up.
1978 Van Halen was my first concert. You just played ten years of my life. Incredible talent and thank you.
Awww. Wish I'd have seen them. ZZ Top was my first. Great show. You got to see them in all the raw, effervescent youth that they were while making their best music.

Such a kick ass medley!! Excellent tone too. You Rock! 🤘
This was totally f****** awesome oh my god what a f****** great job bro bravo bravo rest in peace Eddie can't listen to Van Halen without crying still
What the heck! The guitar, the licks, the vibes, the tone of the amp and effects, man you nail it!
And device flange
Wow absolutely incredible . I’ve heard a lot of people play Eddie but that was absolutely by far the best I’ve ever heard
Fantastic! You deserve more subscribers. 🤘
You don´t know how much I enjoyed this video, Van Halen my favorite rock band ever, thanks
Cheers for watching!
WOW! That was some dedicated learn'n of all things Eddie.
Any Sammy era has to include Finish What Ya Started, and Poundcake!
Besides the amazing guitar playing, the tone is perfect. Love it
Your tone and playing are amazing! You make it look so easy. "I don't ask for permission!" Unchained is, was, has been and always will be my favorite VH song.
The new new study shows z😅😅d😅e😅😅😅😢d😅x😅dyyy😢swzztj😅(3
I agree, Brah. That tone he has in that song is raw. The intro is heart pounding.
I think you got the “tone is in the hands” message that Ed always preached. Excellent.
Thank you for show us in 6 minutes the genius of Eddie Van Halen. Amazing job, Eddie would be proud!
Absolutely fantastic playing. A real tribute to the King 👑. From a 55 year old life long Van Halen fan. 😊
Respect - cheers Chris 😁🙏
This was one of the BEST covers i have listened to. This was REALLY good. Loved it. Love from Sweden😊
Wow, thank you!
I don't know if any video I've ever watched has given me goosebumps the way this did. Thank you for sharing this.
Hot For Teacher intro is almost indistinguishable from the real thing 🤔
Best cover of 'Jump' solo ive heard yet. The timing of that last bit is _almost always_ messed up in covers; subtle, but so obvious when it's wrong. Nicely done 👍

Cheers Sean! Appreciate your kind words mate. Alright, I’d better get to work on a Van Hagar Medley!
Wow. That was amazing. Fantastic sound.
Thanks for watching 🤘
OMG!!! this is INSANE! one of the best EVH cover medley.
That riffage during "Mean Street" sends chills up my spine . Nothing touches how awesome that tune is .
Pardon my French, but HOLY SH!T! That was absolutely INCREDIBLE!
Thanks for watching! You are hereby pardoned 🤘
This is one that I will watch a hundred times. Incredible playing and the tone is perfect.
Incredible. You absolutely pinned it maestro. I’ve subscribed to you for more great playing
Great!!!! Greetings from Patagonia Argentina!
❤🎉. Sat he stunned, amazed, in ore.. Then a tear in my eye, thinking of Eddie's passing. Being the age I am, I have every VH vinyl, and then the CD's. ... you awoke my love of every album. Mate, what a tribute. Thank you 😢
Cheers mate! Lovely words! I'm working on a Sammy Era medley at the moment, hoping you enjoy that also 🤘 🎸
No words, this may be the best EVH tribute yet
The way you transition from song to song is awesome!
Men ! What a cover ! Great sound, great playing and most of all great feel of Eddie’s playing ! 👍
Jesus Christ, Holmes
DAMN
Dude ..
Seriously?
Great Googily Moogily
Damn that was so good I had to watch it twice in a row I loved the he'll out of it. I KEEP WAITING ON David Lee Roth to start singing when you started playing Panama , you sounded just like Eddie the only other person that I knew could play that was Wolf Gang Van Hallen. Dam Great playing.
Esquisto! Magistral y estupendo!!!!!❤🎉
Love it! And yes I’m jealous/ PHUCKK YAH rock on brutha
Sounded great, but personally he had more than just the 80's with Dave...
Awesome feel and vibrato !!
Wow! You are extremely talented. Awesome job!
Thank you so much!
Why did you leave out the great Van Hagar stuff?!?
Few reasons, but don’t worry, I’m hard at work on a Sammy Era medley that’s more than twice this one!
The ultimate tribute.. absolutely banging 👏
AMAZING JOB! Very well done! I'm not familliar with all of Eddie's catalog, but certainly I felt like watching him playing in your play, because you replicate really well his signature swing! Keep on going!
This is 🔥🔥🔥
how do you get your guitar to stay perfectly in tune when you use the D tuna? mine always needs a bit of an adjustment which is annoying.
Bro man holyshit what a f****** great job what a f****** great job you did hats off to you
This is UNREAL!!! Fantastic job! I love hearing all the riffs back to back
Good heavens!!! That was INCREDIBLE!!!!
Its diffrent from what eddie play but in a good way its unique
You need a contract like right now!!!! Awesome cover of Eddie!!
Cheers Frank!
Yes you have inspired me to jam out again. Man I feel the music. Great songs great memories!
Cheers Jerry, glad it excites you 🤘 🎸
First time I see your video Yngwie medley now I see a Van Halen wow is cool medley bro I'm Subscribe and follow your video is cool😍
Take my updoot! Awesome stuff, thanks.
I do want to mention one thing, a lot of people don't realize that actually Steve lukather of Toto recorded all the rhythm parts for beat It 👌🏼
Yeah it’s a little known fact. Jeff Porcaro plays drums on beat it too, after the intro when actual drums come in to double the programmed beat. Such a great song, and album.
Thought that was old news
Adorável a engenharia de se tocar guitarra como eddie tocava !
Wow I wish I could play like that😮
We all do that love guitar riffs.
I never thought anyone could be just as awesome on eruption great job buddy Rock on
Excellent!!!
Very nice indeed. Should replace Jump with Romeo's Delight or I'm the One... Eddie loved shuffles.
Bangers. But his shuffles are so hard to replicate. Makes his lead work look comparatively easy! Might have to go play in a bar for 5 hours a night, 5 days a week and work on it 😅
That was amazing! I could listen to this all day! Thanks for the generosity of sharing the Helix preset and backing track as well!
Smashing!
Its funny to see a EVH stamped on a Fender Strat...not many play with such clarity and smooth
technique, I applaud you and wish you well,. Regards~ Gary
I agree Sammy Era was much better for me but Edward was it

Thank you kindly!
You need more flanger in the mix, do that and you nailed it.
great medley - but how did you manage tuning down E to D for "Unchained"? Overdubbed?
He used a D-Tuna
Baluchiterium, 316, flyspanish
Great job, maybe for the next video you could do a medley for the van hagar era! 🤘🤘💥
Great suggestion!
WOW! That was AMAZING! Thank you for doing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
