Maggot Brain Improv

[@JohnnyHellraiser]

Hands down the best Maggot Brain cover. Full of soul and did it effortlessly and not try hard.

[@roderickking3835]

Who is this guitar god and where is he now? We need him to save the world.

[@SCYTHE2525]

Just another example of some of the best players are those you've never heard of. If your creativity is anywhere close to your technical proficiency then you are a band's wet dream.

[@3cheeseup]

I wish I could play the guitar like him. I come back to this often.

[@okthisisepic6273]

practice and put in the work. you'll get there

[@RiccardoFin-xg8uo]

How is it going?

[@3cheeseup]

@@RiccardoFin-xg8uo I stopped practicing. Got bored of it unfortunately.

[@floyddankdank931]

@@3cheeseup You can do this man!

[@joeoday4614]

Just my opinion....the greatest rock song ever written. no words are necessary

[@MyCryEngine]

most underrated cover on the web

[@whenwewereseventeen]

I fucking love how angry the playing is at times. So much emotion god damn.

[@sp1602]

When that open bass note hit my soul damn near left my body. Bravo.

[@LusciousTwinkle]

Hiya Alex! I wonder if you ever look at this account and see how over a decade later people are loving this performance. Its my favourite EVER...of anything!!! I hope you know how your fans feel!..

[@MrSnazzy01]

I sure hope that guitar was over 18..

[@gbt722]

Clayton Sharrits. Oh god. Hilarious!!!!!

[@electrickflame353]

Lmao! Yeah cause he sure worked it over good!

[@alansmith7626]

[@alansmith7626]

[@aaronj.brooks1977]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@glenncanale9225]

Again, more talent here then in the top 10 current albums. No one knows what talent is any more.

[@mauricebryant4594]

i"m old school. I saw them play it live. I've seen a lot of live music,watch a lot of good ax players. I have told my daughter that I want Maggot Brain played at my funeral. Now I want this guy to play it.

[@theduder1505]

Actually according to your profile pick, you're 24.

[@davidsmelser9345]

I can only hope to play as well some day. Thanks for sharing.

[@Alex-ec1lu]

maurice bryant while everyone is on lsd

[@cynthiabutler7753]

I said the same thing. That song must be played at my funeral. Only one thing, I want George Clinton’s version 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@teamcertifiedsportstv3328]

oh wow. just reading some of the comments. i listen to various versions played and yes, he is banging and i am going to request at my funeral. I'm 55 detroit, seen him perform several times at home. nothing but prince compares.

[@TheSwiftblad3]

Bro i hope your fine and doing well. I listen to this improv now for years and i want to let you know, even though this video "only" has 200k views (i say only, because it deserves waay more) you immortalized yourself with this one. Its just pure bliss - so much emotion, variation and skill. I whish you the best, fam

[@aaron-xx6pm]

ive watched this a lot over the last 10 years. this is really good.

[@yuriyombII]

this cover is the best I ever seen... So emotional, I think this dude has actually suffered for play like this... :( #GODDAMN

[@jeffreyfoster4260]

YUP!

[@RuntsonYT]

Eddie is watching this on heavenTube and tearing up

[@alexdarko2217]

Eddie Hazel, Prince & Jimi Hendrix just smiled down onto you from heaven. You have done an amazing tribute performance 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

[@captainbuzz93]

If "Shitting bricks" saying was literally true I would have a wall under me

[@Meandros81]

This is how I imagine Dave Gilmore would have played it.

[@Bigbrotherthunder]

chris soze first thing I thought. The way he bends... something about it

[@paolo4746]

chris soze agree

[@carlpop2324]

Gilmour would love to let go enough to play like this once in his life. I love Gilmour, but this guy played like he was willing to break the guitar and make it burst into flames to express what he was feeling. This is epic!

[@bekchanovj]

[@rubickon]

Jimi page i would say

[@MikeKuz92]

Hands down, this is my favorite version of maggot brain. I love the original to death, but damn you nailed this. It has an extra kick all the way through and I love it. Honestly, I could listen to this all day long. I want THIS version played at my funeral. End of story. Thank you sir.

[@kitty2pat]

The other one I like is the 1971 Alternate mix played by Eddie himself. Other than that, this is it !

[@truththroughlove1012]

[@steve-us2hg]

Now watch the one by gtplayer4 or dave simpson

[@JamesSchrader-i7o]

[@carlpop2324]

This young man did not need any fluid to light that guitar on fire! Whoo!

[@pawed.6967]

Does anyone know what's going on with the guitarist?... dude, don't leave us with just this one record, we want more guitar performances like this

[@keith726able]

AMAZING! I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe, but I was not offended. I just sent this video to my best friend on his 70th birthday - we are both lovers of the P. Thank you for this beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs.

[@PaulusSidabalok]

not many covers keep the 'sad' feeling from original song but this one is different You got my respect

[@Pandomar1]

This is gold. Ive been tryinig occaisonally master the original version over the years. Every time I pick up guitar and play it on top of the original. This comes along and shows how it really should be done

[@MP-cv9od]

You know you made it when you can play maggot brain. Congrats!

[@mehdiababou5173]

sometimes, it’s not all about technic, it’s about the way you feel with a song. This video is a great exemple.

[@andjelijaivezic4219]

True.

[@le_decard]

im literally entire body goosebumps and speecheless wtf is this guitar god...?

[@BingusBonger]

One of my all time favorites (this song is Spiritual 4 me). This brother did it Justice. Much respect. !!

[@luizziemke9549]

This and the Mike Edwards version are the best versions of this song I’ve seen so far, amazing

[@joaovieira4785]

The Mike Edwards one is some legendary stuff. It hits different IMO even though this one is amazing too

[@LarryalShiva]

Before listening to this I did a maggot brain cover myself and after listening to it im just like "lol dude do i really suck that bad" lmao keep it up bro.

[@Wywdthdywthx]

Same here... This is seriously impressive, well done

[@andellryan824]

This was 11yrs ago imagine I bet he shreds even harder now damn

[@LusciousTwinkle]

My dad just died. Im so glad I found this piece a couple of months ago.....Ive listened to it so much....and even though I still havent cried, its just perfect to be able to sit and listen to this over and over... You are a genius and Id so like to hear a new version.... (No pressure!!!)....So unbelievably gorgeous!!!

[@machinegun3133]

OMG, THE GREATEST COVER OF MAGGOT BRAIN OF ALL TIME. HOLY SHIT

[@chefpfunk1]

ONE OF MY FAV FUNKADELIC JAMS EVER, WAS IT THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD, SORRY NO, BUT IT'S REALLY A GREAT JOB.

[@ChristianInSanDiego]

I know this is old but I hope you are proud of this clip. You did this song justice and added some good feeling and flavor of your own. This song has meant a lot to me ever since I heard it as little shit back in Cleveland late at night on the radio and trying to figure out WTF this was. Rock on kids! 🤘

[@dakotavaughan7134]

When that bass hit I got goosebumps

[@peace4all999]

I hate to hear you criticize yourself for the slide and your comments! Every bit of this song played by you is phenomenal! You should be very proud of yourself😎🙏

[@AshnaAdeline]

this is just pure beautiful

[@AventineArchives]

This is hands down the BEST cover of ANY song I've heard and I mean that. God damn this is talent on another level.

[@kyrangerman519]

As a huge fan of Eddie Hazel, I applaud your rendition! Most excellent!

[@markrodie8863]

Requested this version of Maggot Brain to be played at my funeral.... BEST VERSION I ever heard😁👍 You Rocked this dude

[@NIKITKOKIS]

[@lsdangerso2]

[@funnyname952]

That is seriously well played, thank you

[@rubyc8178]

I've been listening to this atleast once a week for the past 2 years. never seizes to amaze me.

[@rhysn8863]

10 years now

[@alexdarko2217]

Dude you did a an EXCELLENT job here! This is my all time favorite guitar anthem and I wish I actually knew how to play guitar so I could play this song myself.

[@Epikerthanu]

Tbh I just started playing and my ultimate goal is to learn this song just so I can jam out 🤟

[@gregmuscovalley3791]

Mike Hampton. the story is that as a young teen Mike played maggot brain note for note that's how he got on the band. this era this music is part of my soul

[@corbanrdl]

Glad i found this. absolutely amazing. you play with such feeling. love to hear it

[@jonathanbailie]

Very powerful... You have some good emotion in the guitar. Keep throwing out some videos and we'll keep watching.

[@katcoussoulis3417]

I'll listen... Good stuff

[@ShashankRaghunath93]

respect man.. Eddie would have been proud of you

[@kitty2pat]

UNREAL ! I have never seen anything, ANYWHERE like this. I checked out some of your other pieces. It's obvious you're a professional. I, too, have instructions to play this for me, not at my funeral but as I transition, should I have that kind of time. Next week I will be 70, if I make it. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with us.

[@ArtworkOfGlennCroft]

47 dudes should be banned from this universe

[@santiklunder3687]

[@fredlinne]

Nothing but props to you,,,damn I wish I could play this...My favorite guitar riff song ever,,,RIP Eddie

[@glenncanale9225]

Damn should be about 150k views. Hey the public really sucks that's why Rory Gallagher is not in the R&R Hall of Fame. Again from an old guitar player your good.

[@Stoo61]

[@hm27200]

Me to September 2020

[@kernalkarma4752]

Mmmmmm great to see and hear someone playing from the heart . Thanks .

[@BaerrusMagnus]

Amazing. I heard several famous and highly recognized musicians perform Maggot brain. I have to say i think this is the best rendition except perhaps Buckethead. Keep noodling!

[@jeepjerultra]
