    Thank you all so much for the kind words! To me, there is still no other feeling in the world like playing Van Halen, recording and listening back. This is just pure fun and excitement for me, every time! Cheers!

      Everything on 10? Or dial bass back sounds great mine gets too mushy with everything maxed.

      @PhpGtr ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can we get more details? Just cranking it all the way, as I understand it, doesn't come up to the gain you'd want. That's why Eddie used the Variac, right? Or did you put a boost in front?

      Greg Germino told me you have the best Van Halen “right hand”. He is correct.

    I saw Ben Eller doing his level best to cop the opening of Hang 'em High a few days ago. I have nothing but respect for that guy and the work he put in on that one only to fall short of his goal because Eddie. You though -- holy crap you've got that swing, you lucky dog. Love this!

    Wow Jacob. That Kramer sound and tone is basically dead on bro. It's hard to believe that you could actually get any closer to nailing Ed's sound, tone and feel. But. Yes. Yes, this is about as close to Ed's rig, than anything else I've ever heard. Yes, most of my very best examples are, Deraps, old covers. Now it's very clear why Jacob has shown that he can't seem to put this guitar down. Well, now your going to have to get at least one more Kramer after listening to this !!! Ridiculously good Jacob. This is a definite 10 !!!! ❤😮 The Master!!!! Showing why he is the undisputed master of everything VH or Ed based.

    Man… what a freaking talent!! Carbon copy. Close your eyes and you can swear this is an isolated guitar track of Van Halen. I’m a drummer since 1980… started as a classic piano student when I was 5 but grandma kept gifting me with records after a good lesson 🥲
    That’s how I got my first 8-track cartridge of Van Halen on my 8th birthday…. March 1978. That been said, I’m a HUGE fan of Van Halen. Keep the excellency on your chops and never stop. Those first six albums are pure greatness of American rock. Music is life, keep the beat forever. Thank you for sharing it🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😊
