[@Gitfiddle]

That was killer!!!! That is one of THE most difficult VH riffs. That semi clean section where Dave is talking over the riff is very difficult to get it to sound like Ed. It's the way he uses his hands....duh. The way he mutes the strings. The way he slides into the notes. The up strokes at the right times. Really good job man.

[@William5150vh]

Well, what I did in this video is I had a foot switch that took me to a clean channel, but I'm also switching my pick-up selector from bridge to neck simultaneously so that I got a thicker sound during the quiet part. So no magic, just a 2nd, clean channel on my amp...

After watching EVERY other cover of this I would say you've got the best tone and the best feel, especially on the rhythm parts, of anyone on here. Nobody expects anyone to nail Eddie perfectly but this is damn close :)

Deraps still has the best VH covers

[@lorenzowinchler1743]

Maybe you can help me.. I am looking for a "hot for teacher" guitar cover done by a guy with a beanie hat, with a loose tremolo bar on a custom EVH-style guitar... I can't find it anymore but that guy was awesome :(

[@LeaSatou]

Your technique is really cool looking, and the best part is that it doesn't affect your incredible playing at all. I love it.

[@shawn576]

Even the tuning of the guitar and amp is perfect. There are so many videos showing people who have tons of skill but still sound terrible because something isn't configured right. It's such a refreshing change. Well done!

I would like to preserve the Van Halen guitar than shred the crap out of it. It's a prize to have.

[@ShortFingeredShreder]

I took this track for granted, as with many of EVH compositions. What an absolute banger from start to finish. Greatest rock guitarist of all time. Fantastic job of covering, bang on.

[@katiebrenneman7157]

Dude. Outstanding job! I've listened to a bunch of your VH covers and hands-down, you have the best EVH phrasing of any guitar player I've heard aside from EVH himself. That is by far the hardest part of playing his stuff and you NAIL IT! So good.

[@tarunkumaar625]

Beautiful tone, the clean part was very well played, sounds just like EVH. The OD parts was also really close in tone and playing.

[@AMRADIO_]

dopest song by EVH imo

[@kenw.1112]

Dude you are absolutely a 10+++. Watching you play blows me away! Here's what I know to be a FACT OF LIFE. People that want to play like you do can only do it in their dreams. They have struggled for years and can't touch your playing skills ! You have it dude and there is no reason to be jealous of you. I tried to learn how to play but failed. Does not bother me because I was blessed to repair electronics. I repaired. My first television at age 6yrs old. I am a licensed radio operator. My hero who I have enormous respect for is Nikola. Tesla. I have built synthesizers and electronic equipment from kits. After building a Heathkit 80m-10m transceiver I had to repair it because there were two bad capacitors that the company shipped out with the kit. I love electronics with a passion and it is in my blood. My father's side of the family came from Germany. Both sides of my family are electricians and technicians.YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS I HAVE EVER HEARD AND THAT IS THE TRUTH!

[@dlefeb67]
