I don't know who won, but that Steve Vai guy is pretty great.

[@kidik5461]

Yup..given the chance one day he could become a guitar god...maybe can be on stage with the likes of satch,eric,petrucci.

[@elijahtotzke5871]

MR VAI

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

​@@kidik5461I hope so, he should go on Britain's Got Talent.

[@whosaidthat84]

Ralph Macchio swept his leg

[@SamBrockmann]

@@whosaidthat84 , who?

[@ahind1234]

I bet playing neoclassical music is Bradley's guilty pleasure. He deserves a Ferrari

[@beanleyhallsworth]

👀

[@rizulsharma6360]

​@@beanleyhallsworthhoping some COB covers soon 😄

[@69thmuse72]

He has the keys to the lamborghini

[@beanleyhallsworth]

Who do you think won the original duel? STEVE VAI or STEVE VAI?? 🤔

[@rickwitt5735]

My money's on VAI!!!

[@Rcaneneophyte8906]

Unofficially speaking, Ry Cooder won the duel.

[@oli.br10]

I think STEVE VAI won

[@schecterseven3894]

Some bloke , go's by BeanleyHallsworth.

[@josecintron85]

we did... when something beautiful is produced, we all win!

[@anvil777]

Your solo was the most spot on “cover” I’ve heard… I really liked what Steve did as Ralph in the movie

[@9Justo]

? Steve was not Ralph in the movie - or real life or make believe.

[@rjwidhalm289]

Ry Cooder did almost all of Ralph's guitar parts for this move, except for the 'Cutting Heads' duel.

[@SiCutler]

Nicely done good sir. Props to Ralph Macchio. What his fingers are doing genuinely doesn't look far off

[@Iesous27]

He's got that karate kid training

[@stevenm78]

I’m just so impressed with your ability. I wish when I started playing back in the early 80’s we had KZbin and musicians like you. Unfortunately Hal Leonard books were about it. 🤘🏻

[@scotticidal]

Ol Hal Leanord... I still have some of those in a box

[@letsgobrandon8271]

Been there done that!!😂😂

[@yuxilong3366]

For everyone’s reference, the arpeggio progression before Paganini was taken from Villa-Lobos’ Etude No. 2, which is also notoriously difficult but is a throwback to the classical guitar background of the kid.

[@luke211286]

Amateur classical guitar player here, practically all Villalobos pieces are a pain in the ass to play

[@jamescocorikis8595]

Ry Cooder deserves more credit for his slide guitar.

[@Thexaios]

That young Steve Vai fellow seems to have a bright future ahead of him.

[@petealba707]

That was fantastic! Nice job on the video editing. Its amazing how far we have come with tech. Your video and angles were far superior than what they could do in the 80s.

[@thetrashman1120]

Ralph Macchio is probably the most accurate guifakist I have ever seen

[@redneck472]

Man I've been trying to learn this for literal MONTHS and I'll probably still be practicing it for years to come. The sweep picking part at the very beginning is just the hardest thing ever.

[@giridharg82]

Amazingly played Sir Hallsworth

[@ShreddingFinn]

Been working on this one for a while. Not up to movie speed yet but its still a fantastic exercise. The biggest problem i have is the large octave jumps when playing fast they are tough

[@mgrocki]

Daniel LaRusso should have stuck with guitar instead of giving it all up for a karate tournament that he won with an illegal move... what a legend.

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

Haha that made me snort my coffee 😂

[@dananthony6258]

I saw a guy playing an explorer flipped over left handed today. It looked so freaking weird. I never even thought of it until I saw it.

[@tomblundelli]

Amazing work! 🔥

[@nakinaki7991]

First time hearing it with backingtrack and it sounds awesome 🤙

[@OdinAllFather77]

Dude as always!!! You are impressive. Abrazo Mexicano!!!! 🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻

[@jonbrowne]

Phenomenal playing and a brilliant twist on the original! Amazing Bradley

[@SplitMutton]

Really awesome Bradley. I love this solo so much and you did it well

[@theguitarist945]

The movie the crossroads, he played the 5th caprice by Nicholas Paganini

[@tymanngruter1808]

I always thought someone else played that guitar part, now i am for sure! 😊

[@thegreasersoutdoors]

Godamn dude. You are one impressive rippa. You should be on the top 250!

[@velocity_0036]

Please make a lesson on it ! A great teacher you are !! Love from India!! ❤❤❤ Please 🙏 make a lesson

[@mikethegrunty5968]

Legit one of my fav movies

[@Sushi_Overdose]

Dude I've discovered the film yesterday, what a blast. Are you going to edit a guitar pro file of that solo ?

[@RotterStudios]

EXCUSE ME?! I'm learning how to sweep, after all these years. I can play this, but with the sweeping, in the intro, that's going to take time. it's so great. GREAT JOB! It is really fun, but it's hard to nail the tempo and few oddly-placed notes in the piece.

[@mr.rhubarb]

Toight mate, you tickled my trick bag there

[@kkupsky6321]

The thing is… in New Jersey we always do the sweep. I think it’s sweet tho.

[@pitaorj]

It was Steve Vai or Ry Cooder who recorded the duel? I`ve read that was ry cooder and vai.

[@eted2]

Bradley Hall is somehow now canon. I smoked way too much weed too early in the morning, I'm commenting on everything 😭😎😗💨💨

[@robertclarkguitar]

Oh Beanley...well done Sir Bradsworthington!!

[@robertclarkguitar]

No , wait. Mr Hallbillingslyworthington😂. I can't remember them all mate. Lol

[@lantusinfluencer]

Wow you nailed it 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@rickwitt5735]

LOVE!!!

[@zemah4268]

so well played 👍

[@knightfall9394]

Walter hill filmed another duel between vai and shuggie otis but it was cut from the film

[@jeffgadd2077]

I don't see the link for lessons?

[@k-mbruno1163]

0:31 that note is hitting HARD!

[@dimsimoffical]

Ok but like what’s that beast of a guitar in the background???

[@alexdevisscher6784]

You should do a shred duel with Steve Vai. That would be epic.

[@paydro248]

Very, very impressive bro

[@somethingbl]

I've never seen someone play that C section at 0:50 like that. Usually there's much bigger jumps all on the first string.

[@beanleyhallsworth]

It's the same, I'm just playing it on the B and G strings instead, makes way more sense imo

[@somethingbl]

@@beanleyhallsworth It's the same... except different strings and position lol. I think the original way (like Macchio is trying to copy) is a little more showy and sounds sharper on the top strings, but you wouldn't really hear that with all the distortion on yours. Great job though!

[@fhatsk8er]

Was just about to comment this! I’ve been practicing the “movie” way and it’s so hard to stay accurate sliding 12 frets. Cheat code unlocked

[@mini_moose_x]

Sweet! it's unhealthy how much I love this movie haha! Looks like I've got some major practicing to do. Steve won lol

[@TIME_TO_ROCK]

Hello! I'm from Italy, city of Genoa the same of Niccolò Paganini. You are a talented guitar player but at 0.33 you have written PAGINI. And don't forget "Paganini non replica"(cit). 🙂 PS In Genoa there is an important violin competition every year, an the winner plays the original Paganini's violin. Very good your metal version cover.

[@catpocalypsenow8090]

Just wondering what is the purpose of the one eye glass? Does only one eye have poor vision? Why does the one eye glass symbolize a professorial connotation?

[@anttiarokoski6255]

One of the best battles evr!

[@SteveFye]

I think that last bend needed a few more beans

[@masonbeck7002]

You should do concerto by cacophony. I wanna learn it so bad

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

I've tried this in the past and it's not easy lol

[@mikegrady5669]

Dude!!!!! Yes!!!!

[@marctheknife4758]

Ry Cooder played the Machio parts. That's from deep within the memory banks so who fxcking knows really

[@blurch]

Nice, but didn't Troy Grady show that Vai didn't sweep that sweep section? He used only alternate picking there.

Aye!

[@h_rocky417]

can we get the backing track somewhere?!!

[@h_rocky417]

sorry i didn’t notice the end of the video haha

[@absultt4844]

It’s just like a sin you don’t have millions views, gettings from Brazil🎸

[@RestrictedAirspacePodcast]

Glorious…❤ 👏

[@HobbitWarrior]

I always thought Scratch should have called foul on Macchio using his own music against him.

[@philipgreenwood3251]

If I'm mistaken, let me know, but I think the Ralph parts were played by Ry Cooder

[@beanleyhallsworth]

Just the slide parts yeah!

[@retroquest3579]

I don't understand the free membership thing, after joining for free and visiting the site, there seems to be no content available, literally everything has a "locked-Upgrade now" button? /confused...

[@beanleyhallsworth]

You have to join the free trial to unlock all the content, the other thing is just some lame "follow" feature Patreon recently introduced

[@marcinmcula99]

While Ralph's fake electric playing doesn't really hold up, his fake classical playing is fantastic. I had to look back to see he wasn't actually playing that, impressive

[@DuckTheWhat]

reminds me of fleshgod apocalypse for some reason

[@mastasolo]

Left out that high A note at the end :( , I've been practising this solo for a while now, and instead of hitting the string off of the pickup, I just use a ring on my finger to hit that glorious high A. Also, IIRC Steve vai had submitted the parts to the movie studio where he "Fucks up" the response to ralph's part here, and the staff couldn't tell the difference because they didn't play guitar, so he had to go even further messing it up.

[@user-mitchell44]

Yo I have the red jacsion that the other guy is holding

[@stuwoowoo]

Love it. One of my favourite movies. \m/

[@beanleyhallsworth]

Saaaaame

[@RustyShackleford2013]

Whats the name of the movie

[@beanleyhallsworth]

Crossroads

[@martinopinto6323]

You are an amazing player, would buy courses from you rather than other youtube 'guitarists' 🙃

[@MrMojabo]

It's not Steve Vai playing. It's the Devils Spawn.

[@johndanielsforJesus]

Why does this guy look like a member of the defunct group, "the Zeroes", out here, in L.A., in the 80's??

[@SuicidalGrind]

I always found it funny, but to be fair. The only man who can duel against Steve Vai is Steve Vai.

[@blackblurable]

I honestly like Vai’s solo just prior to the kid’s.

[@leeturner2732]

Think it might have been Ry cooder playing the other parts?

[@beanleyhallsworth]

The slide parts yeah, not the shred bits lol

[@kiike33e5]

Sabe!!! 👌🏻😎🤣

[@IdkIdkmybad]

Love thees vidoios !

[@JonasThiagoDelvalle]

I hope that guitar is more than 18 years old

[@jaywalshmusicandsong1736]

Beautiful. Tone isn't improved, but I dig it anyway.

[@guitarlife6190]

You may keep your soul

[@brendannahor1460]

All the other guitar parts were apparently done by Ry Cooder!! 🤔

[@Dansguitarstore]

epic!

[@9Justo]

Blind Willie is rolling in his grave.

[@tomtheripper666]

Alright Bradley so it is Steve Vi and Rye Cooter that uh actually recorded this together and I don't appreciate the fact that you meddled it up cause it was perfectly perfectly fine before so I didn't really see an actual need for you to put gain and distortion on it it didn't really make it better in my opinion because I grew app with this movie loopy you want my opinion on it please take sounds good but please don't No no distortion on that it's supposed to be a classical piece and Ralph macho's character which is Rye cooter that's yeah he's the one who played that

[@diegolatorre6793]

Ralph Macchio can play that on classical with fingerstyle but slower, the question is.... can you?

[@kramersurfer5280]

comedy as hell,,really dont do this guy the credit he deserves for his playing ,,amazing guitarist.

[@derred723]

Lesson here kid, practice because you're probably gonna need to guitar battle the devil for your soul.

[@b.e.8845]

Noice!

[@mercuryII]

wax my tortoise

[@judas_saves]

You just sold your soul to Steve :D

[@jeremymorrison3494]

Noice

[@Openkasket-n1]

It's about time you did something serious mate😅

[@gunkyzip]

Please look up the word "improving" in a dictionary before using it in the title of a video.

[@ronny12tech]

Not improved at all, but sounds good 🔥

[@beerwolf8518]

What's a guy gotta do around here to get some boomer bends?

[@Alienadin]

Nope. The original is way better.

[@maykstuff]

Fake, Your hand movements don’t match Ralph’s at all!

[@Kyrelel]

Fun to see that Bradley, like 100% of all youtube guitarists, cannot play the arpeggio section correctly

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

KZbin guitarists lol link to your version? ;)

[@beanleyhallsworth]

It's still all the correct notes, I just chose to play it in positions I'm more comfortable with!

[@SMPMS8389]

Why is everybody putting Ralph macchio down saying that's really Steve Vai playing? Ralph worked really hard for 6 months to learn how to play like that
