www.vanhalenstore.com/page/VH/... Classic solo from Eddie from the Van Halen II album. i've always been a big fan of Mr V.H. and this solo has always blown me away so I decided to have a go at it. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be and I hope you can forgive me crucifying the original. Thnks for watching - เพลง
RIP Eddie Van Halen
Yes Sir! 👏🏻🌟🎼🎸
Yes Sir, that was a beautiful rendition! Been looking up lots of people doing EVH music and tribute and yours is top notch! But I'm still sad about his passing
Yes .... he was always in front ... everyone wanted to play like him ..... and some thought they could .....
But there was only one EVH ...
and now he talking to Jimi ..
What is your instagram?
Brunno Oliveira
You mean Ricks Instagram ?
Here we go again, Rick reminding me that I don't practice enough.
LimitIsIllusion So true :D
+LimitIsIllusion LMFAO
It gonna take me a while to get this perfect. I'd say by December I'll get it.

Haa
lol that raised eyebrow look at the end 01:00
"why yes sir that was spanish fly"
😂😂
LMAO
🤨
0:18 i love how he literally presses his face into the guitar during that legato run haha passion!
I knew I was gonna see a comment about that
When youre a maestro you can do outrageous stuff like that
that’s actually such a classic move
I do it sometimes. It’s like using your skull as an internal speaker. Helps to hear if you’re playing correctly without any buzzing or dead notes.
Coming back to this video after 10 years. RIP Eddie Van Halen. The legend
Can't believe it's been a month now
@@memehorse3658 Can't believe it's been two years now.
Well I found this very difficult to play especially in the style of Eddie, he's so hard to recapture, well for me at least he is lol
So glad I found this! Learned it in 06' and had tricky parts that are void in the way you play it (symmetric tapping section) Wanting to play it regularly. Thanks! Is that a H&K Switchblade? Sweet Amp! EVH fan for life!
Eruption AND Spanish Fly are both awesome, iconic solos, but, who here thinks SF is actually harder to play. I know I do.
It is harder to play, that's kind of obvious.
Levi Baker especially on acoustic
What is sf
JT First uuuuh sf is spanish fly duuh
Try them
THE STARE AT THE END LMAO 1:00
When you know you just did some badass shit*
Yup, f*ckin nailed it.
Sounded just like it off the record. That was perfect. No one could cover this better than that guy. That guitar he was playing was just perfect for Spanish Fly.
That was flawless. A perfect rendition. Extremely well done!
Apparently, 51 people don't know what amazing guitar playing is.
Don't you mean 5150 ?
the feel in the transition between the last legato pull-offs and the tapping section is just perfect
It's hard to believe Eddie actually ever played it this well.
the hell i thought there was only 1 pick of destiny
WOW!!! I am not a musician....but I have been listening to EVH since 1980.....that rendition was note for note!!! AWESOME!!!
Transcribed. WOW!!! I can imagine myself in the 1770's and this crazy cat comes up and plays something like this on the lute. Thank you Edward so much for the countless mind blowing innovations you placed in front of us!! This is a great example of the timeless beauty of Eddies guitar compositions.
Spot on perfection
I don't recognize the new rick graham
Who in their right mind would dislike this? This is incredible
The greatest!!! Technically revolutionary, inspired, masterly that was and will always be the innovator Mr. Eddie Van Halen!!
Extremely brilliant and Worthy rendition of his glorious guitar work!!!
Congrasts!!!!
Now that was Clear,Consise,and to the point! 👍
Lol I was expecting that huge metal riff at the opening of "D.O.A." to come on at the end of the video xD
Shweeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa daa d d d d d d daa d d d d d d daa
Just awesome DOA
Man you have really made some major improvements! Looking at your build now. Congrats bro! Amazing playing too.
Incredible. Thanks for putting on the demonstration.
That was most excellent !!!!
Eddie would be proud to see you pull that off 👍
Thanks guys! Glad you mentioned that cos it did make that higher section much more awkward.
Amazing playing!!!
Those fingers are so strong
Yeah that's the Thing his hand strength may be his greatest asset
Sabino Carrillo ...
Someone's a little happy.
That was very nicely played. Thanks for sharing
You have absolutely channeled Eddie through your playing sir. This is by far the BEST cover of Spanish Fly I have ever heard.
Seriously, you moved me even more so now that the King is gone. Thanks for posting this.
Note for freakin' NOTE \m/\m/
well I dig your sense of humour anyway ;-)
So, 15 years ago I first watched this. Not long after I had seent he trailer for the Guitar Hero Van Halen game release. I had only been playing guitar for about 2 years at that point and was still in that "Frehley" stage where the only things that mattered was that A scale pentatonic and 12 bar blues. Seeing Van Halen play was like finding god for me. Then I watched this video and thought there was no physical way of doing this. And 15 years later. With more advanced technique and hardened skills, This is still quite a task. Awesome work sir.
32 guitarists who have been trying their whole lives to play Spanish Fly this well and still can't dislike this video. But I must say, this is probably the best version I've heard.
1.00 when he remembered there was a big pie in the freezer
Bill Cosbys fave song
+MrJ0mmy ha, thats so funny. it is said that bill could finish before the song was over.
you have my respect. haha
NAILED IT!!!
Can't. stop. watching. Too. much. perfection.
i just love the look on his face when he finished
I watched this well over 20-30x's before I read 1 comment. It's over 50x's now! Thanks 4 the cover, gpy
Beautiful playing. Thank you.
fantastic job. evh's use of classical melody always takes me by surprise every time i hear it.fantastic job.
Rick, you're a brilliant and humble guy, one of my favorite people I've never met! You played Spanish Fly virtually flawlessly, no forgiveness needed my man!! You've taught this old guy a lot!! (I'm an addict with Alcoholism, thank you for your honesty! I'm sober AGAIN, one year, had 16!)
PERFECTO!!!. Thanks Rick Graham for this homage to the great King Edward VH. Amazing playing. Impecable.
Absolute perfection. Incredible.
There are very few times you come across something like this. This is one of them.
Absolutely 5 star. Sir, it is a pleasure to watch you.

That was fantastic! Great tone!!
Man, you killed it! Well done, sir!
Crucify; What... you made it so much better, a true legend.
Fantastic!!
This is the song that I wished had larger hands for.
The hammer-on and taps at the very end.... specifically the 12-4-9 and the 10-2-7.....that's quite a stretch of 5 frets.
Again, well done!
the look the gut gives at then end of the video just completes it !!
Awsome! Great techniques!
