@@superdriver777 lol, right there with you. Can do just about any metal song, but this still eludes me from playing it perfectly. I'm ok with that, it's nice to have a white whale to keep chasing.
Omg I remember seeing this 9 years ago when I was 8 years old with Guitar Hero 3. This was so awesome back when I first saw it. I still feel the same way now! WOw brings me memories from my first TH-cam channel and before TH-cam went to shit :(
Dylan Navarro yes GH3 when it was popular the arcade places I would jam this song expert and a giant crowd of people watched me 5 star it and applauded...the life of some musicians or gamers😂
You. Are. Amazing. I've watched Eric Johnson play this song so many times and you've absolutely nailed it. I grew up in a family of guitar players and I know the time and dedication it takes to get it down to perfection. I can't stop watching it.
First youtube video i ever favourited, and I still hear this rendition in my head pretty frequently. Since then I've also been to the Cliffs of Dover, it was beautiful!
This cover has always been my favorite since I found it years ago! Whenever I think of this song and want to listen to it, I come back to watch this video! 😊
Each time I revisit this song it reminds me of how beautiful it is. Eric did an amazing job of creating this. So rare these days to find any songs that don’t have lyrics with them. This particular piece stands alone quite nicely all by itself 👍
Awesome! Totally awesome! I especially liked the extra treat you included at the end, the added "Eric Johnson like" improvisation parts that Eric does to extend this song live.
i feel the same way. i tried playing a song on a regular sized guitar but it was too big for me so thats why i just stick with ukulele and piano. its easier for my 14 almost 15 year old fingers. but i do like watching other people playing it
I haven't read all 29,000+ comments on this before mine, but apparently there's actual criticism of this brilliant young player who just nailed one of the most distinctive and awe-inspiringly beautiful electric guitar compositions ever written and recorded. I may be a cynical prick half the time, but shame on anyone who would want to take the accomplishment away from either one of them, and/or deny the pure talent....
I remember I was so obsessed with Guitar Hero 3 back in the days ( 12 years ago ). And I searched for this tune on TH-cam ( 2008) first video came out was this one. Such a goosebumps watching it now and thinking back to those days. Feeling shitty old ( 25 yrs old rn) greetings from Italy 🇮🇹.
Dislike. Why ? Because that was so good I hate you. In all seriousness, fantastic job. If anyone needs me I'll be chopping up my Les Paul for firewood.
I wonder what moonchild is up to nowadays. I remember watching this as a kid wishing I could play like him! I Hope you still play every now and then buddy!
this guy is amazing. i classify this song as one of the most difficult ever made. and this guy plays it perfect. wow. i have a genuine respect for this man. and i will never hate.
I love how we all watched this guy shred years ago and thought he had the best cover..only to come back years later and still think it’s the best cover..Legend!
Anyone who has anything negative to say about this guy's playing is either a negative person by nature, or just a dick. This guy plays this phenomenally. He would probably play it better if he was simply playing with a live bass player and drummer so that he wouldn't rely on Eric Johnson's riffs in the background to keep up with. He could do it easily . nuff said.
What do you mean, "very mistakes?!?" Hours and hours and weeks and weeks of practice have probably gone into this and all you can say is "very mistakes?" To prove that there are enough "very mistakes" in this video, post one of yourSELf doing it. Won't we laugh! THAT'S when people can say there are "very mistakes" in a cliffs of dover cover.
Thanx for keeping this video up man... You've impressive skills.. Watched you in this 15 years ago when we used to play guitar hero 3 on X box back in med school... Great memories..
1. I think he is trying to show what he can do, not make it sound perfect. 2. Eric Johnson never played this song the same, there was always improvisation.
"next time use a backing track so we can hear your mistakes." ???? You must not play guitar MrDuvalius69. Playing to a backing track without Eric Johnson's guitar track to have to match in the recording is actually a lot easier, and it hides any "mistakes" if you want to call them that. Playing it along with the actual recording allows people to hear if the guitarist strays from the actual, recorded notes Eric Johnson is playing. Also, agree 100% with luke, Eric Johnson never plays this song the same every night. Just watch his live videos. He adds notes here and there, improvises at times, and doesn't do every bend and vibrato the same as his studio recording.
I've watched this video maybe 300 or 400 times. I first heard this cover back when i was in the 8th grade. I used to watch this video on the bus to school and marvel at the technicality. I'm going off to college in a few months and I still get the same feeling i did when i was in middle school. Good job dude.
Thanks for uploading this so long ago. I remember being so amazed I picked up electric guitar. I still can’t play as well as this but it has been a big part of my life.
Outstanding....I wish id of saw this video sooner....I started playing guitar at 12 years old..I absolutely love it...at 36 I still haven't touched cliffs over over...thank you for this video...keep practicing because you are doing a supperb job.
I used to watch this in college. That was nearly 15 years ago. Still holds up as probably the best cover. Damn.
Sophie Burell did great too.
haha i was a kid watching this after playing guitar hero. my fav cover
I was just thinking this...and also about how I had just started playing when I saw this, and now it's 15 years later and I still can't play it 😢 lol
@@superdriver777 lol, right there with you. Can do just about any metal song, but this still eludes me from playing it perfectly. I'm ok with that, it's nice to have a white whale to keep chasing.
Amazing isn’t it? Time flies
16 years later, I am still watching it. This is the best cover ever.
Same lol
Eu também

Sameee dudee i saw this video in 2009 when i was 9
i saw this first on 2009, fck it's been 10 years ago
Plot twist: This is actually Eric Johnson's son.
He actually kind of resembles EJ as well
It would be a plot twist if he wasn't Eric Johnson's son
hahaha
Seriously?
You. Are. Amazing. I've watched Eric Johnson play this song so many times and you've absolutely nailed it. I grew up in a family of guitar players and I know the time and dedication it takes to get it down to perfection. I can't stop watching it.
You can be proud of yourself buddy... I watched this video 5 years ago, and it's still amazing... Congratulation mate !
amazing.
I'm just commenting because you haven't had any replies in the last 6-7 years, but agreed.
X2
I've watched this 100 times over the years, and it still blows me away. WOW!
First youtube video i ever favourited, and I still hear this rendition in my head pretty frequently. Since then I've also been to the Cliffs of Dover, it was beautiful!
I bet this kid is a boss on the guitar now 9 years later..
he's been a boss on guitar
practice 10 or more hours daily and you can be a god in guitar
KKcesarin666 thats easier said than done thou..ever pulled a tenner?
Tim Morris He is still playing if im not wrong
Tim Morris his look has also completely changed haha
16 years later and still the best cover I’ve ever heard
Mistakes or no mistakes, no use in pointing them out. Millions of people would die to play this as well as you did.
This cover has always been my favorite since I found it years ago! Whenever I think of this song and want to listen to it, I come back to watch this video! 😊
Now try it on expert, oh wait, its a real guitar!
haha
its a strat. there not real guitars they suck
@@RUARI-mi1yt Huh?
@@315m42 strats sounds sweeky like a small dog . Les Paul and 335 are real guitar 👍🏼
@@RUARI-mi1yt Sayied by : Nobody
Absolutely exquisite. Timeless ❤
Those binders behind him are full of girls numbers. Lmao
Lmaoooo
ZuoCruz he does have impressive fingering skills....
just laughed out loud
sorted alphabetically because he's a badass
He’s playing along with the song but it’s gh 3 FC 100% so and that’s why I heard a 50-100 note streak sound in the background 0:19
Each time I revisit this song it reminds me of how beautiful it is. Eric did an amazing job of creating this. So rare these days to find any songs that don’t have lyrics with them. This particular piece stands alone quite nicely all by itself 👍

I love it seeing two of my favorite guitar channels on one video. Don't either of you dare stop what you're doing!
I've listened that someon called "Eric Johnson" made a cover of this guy... lol, this guy is amazing
That was incredible.
Omg I can’t believe I’ve been following this guy for 16 years…
When you are so ridiculously good that you start thinking perhaps his left hand is coming from somewhere else... Incredible, just incredible
Please tell me this is fake so I can feel better about my guitar playing.
i feel the same way. i tried playing a song on a regular sized guitar but it was too big for me so thats why i just stick with ukulele and piano. its easier for my 14 almost 15 year old fingers. but i do like watching other people playing it

Holy shit. you deserve reputation man
This was one of the first videos I bookmarked on Google Video. Yup, back when it was *competing* with TH-cam.
I first saw this about 14 years ago, wasn't your username moonchild?
I do remember too, his username was moonchild89
I love how we all watched this guy shred years ago and thought he had the best cover..only to come back years later and still think it’s the best cover..Legend!
Thats fucking brilliant.
Damn.
I thought his name was moonchild89
I never get tired of watching this over and over and over and over...

almost 10 years ago and still one of the best covers of cliffs
I've watched this video maybe 300 or 400 times. I first heard this cover back when i was in the 8th grade. I used to watch this video on the bus to school and marvel at the technicality. I'm going off to college in a few months and I still get the same feeling i did when i was in middle school.
Good job dude.
Flawless! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Reminds me of my high school..17 years ago.. so damn good this cover, time machine
Coming back to this breaks my heart because how much time went by wtf? 😰
This is the only person I've ever seen come even close to Eric Johnson on this song. Very done mate!
Thanks for uploading this so long ago. I remember being so amazed I picked up electric guitar. I still can’t play as well as this but it has been a big part of my life.
