PANAMA - Van Halen | Guitar Cover by Sophie Burrell

[@cerclesvicieux]

So far I've watched "CLiffs of Dover," "Crazy Train," "Kickstart My Heart," and now "Panama." You are, without a doubt, the best female guitarists on this side. You lines are flawless & fluid, and the videos are spectacularly clean & clear and I can see everything you're playing on the fretboard. Above all--I think you're very humble and Iad mire that. Even more, you get me excited about my own playing and I just want to run and grab my Strat and jam. I like the pre-videos of you learning "Cliffs of Dover" and that just makes you more human than some cover artists it gives me the enthusiasum and inspiration to keep learning rather than drop my guitar and walk away from a project in disgust. I love you!

I'm sure I need a full-fat PRS Custom now to get good. It's definitely my SE holding me back 😆

I don't wanna hear it later great 1

[@richiebell4953]

I've been playing for 36 years myself and ANYTHING by Eddie Van Halen is just ----ing GREAT! He [with my DAD!] was my first concert ever! Way back in 1981! My biggest inspiration! And you nailed this song beautifully!

[@williamburke1365]

She is such a Natural Talent truely Amazing. Just love it

[@generalgozz]

I would like to request "Aint Talkin Bout Love" as your next VH cover.

[@jowesh732]

Wow you beat me to this request

[@stanislavmigra]

+1

[@BeowulfGaming]

YES! and then maybe hot for teacher :)))

[@brandonjanuhowskimusic3034]

I second this!

[@ivanflores3996]

Si seria genial. En su carrera¡

[@josezerpa8177]

what I like the most about your video, is that you're truly enjoying playing it! thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[@alexostrovskyi]

Eddie was such a legend! Thanks for sharing!

[@ralphwide3636]

By far the best female VH cover person on the Internet. Love your work and thnx for loving Ed.

[@blucat4]

She's good and I really love this cover, but these 'the best ever' statements are hard to justify. Have a look at this, on youtube: Jasmine Jams Episode 6 | Van Halen - "Jump"

[@denniskazich7559]

It's great to see his music and legend go on. You definitely do a fantastic job girl.

[@frankcarey656]

I'm 33 years old. I got my first paycheck at 16. I bought van Halen greatest hits and black sabbath we sold our soul for rock and roll. You nailed this one your so freaking awsome!

[@anthonyreed3682]

Sophie, play anything that makes you happy, I'll watch and listen. Great video as always.

[@augustdrums1247]

I mean this guitar work is legendary. That's why we love Eddie. I'm so grateful to have heard this stuff for the first time in 1984. I'm addicted to watching it, because its so interesting to watch someone play it note for note, it just gives you a greater appreciation for what Eddie wrote. Great Job Sophie!

[@LIFELOVER715]

You are a guitar master. Plus you have charisma, style & charm. We are lucky that you are performing for us.

[@richardbarton6146]

You Brits just got it.... So talented people. God Bless you, I cant imagine how many hours of practice you had perfecting these songs.. Fabulous darling!

[@lelandcheng7390]

OMG. Sophie. You. Rock. One of my favorite Van Halen songs, and Eddie would be proud!

[@Brian-zc2ip]

You can really how much your guitar tone has cleaned up since this. I'm talking about your recordings and not the sound of your guitar in the room, im sure thats even better. This cover here is great but today you're getting phenomenon sound. Im a veteran sound engineer. I salute you Sophie 🤘

[@Erikoace]

😱 Wow Excelent interpretation. Hello from México. 🇲🇽

[@steved1099]

As a strat player for years. I honestly was swayed to buy a PRS cu24 just because of this one in Sophies videos.. a stunning example. love the flame top and gold hardware.

[@linconocyrus]

Fantastic job,one of the best vh rock tracks,another great one is poundcake.

[@anneannabu5130]

Hi Sophie..heres my request for you to consider.."and the cradle will rock"..van Halen. My dad's got me really into them and this song has a strange sound that begins it..id love to see how it's done by watching you

[@spitfirekid1]

I love the joy that you share when you play.

[@earlenorman2116]

Eddie is smiling 😅 that was more than amazing 🎸💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@musoseven8218]

Very cool, great tone, my fav VH track too - pretty much how I play(ed) it, back in the day😊✌️👍 I worked it out from vinyl records, VHS videos and the odd bit of TAB from the backs of magazines - that was in the 1880s😄😄✌️ sorry 1980s😲😲🙄 how time flies!

[@427HISS]

Another,...great rendition of VH, my favorite band of all time.

[@Straitjacket808]

Absolutely fantastic Sophie! Awesome playing. I to love this track. Eddie's rhythm playing on this track is out of this world. That PRS is gorgeous 😍

[@jamesgeducation1097]

It's a bit scary how you've mastered EVH's phrasing and touch on the the guitar Sophie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Krispy1011]

Smile and the whole world smiles with you - your great!

[@ZePequeno42s43]

Paseando por youtube apareció esta canción, y por supuesto que tenia que escucharla! realmente extraordinaria tu versión! felicitaciones! tocas guitarra muy relajada, haces que se vea fácil tocarla! enséñame cómo se toca? Saludos desde Sudamérica, Chile, Santiago.

[@marvini2320]

The amazing thing is not for how beautifuly you played the song, but how amazingly beautiful brain the song came out of

[@jasonstuart3898]

good grief you make it look so easy, been playing for twenty years and i can't even come close to that level, i love your videos, you are amazing! you make me wanna just not even try your so good lol, it's so awesome especially the solo where you don't even look, you look into the camera.... your gonna be famous for sure, keep it up keep it going💛

[@kevinallison2227]

Agree 💯%

[@davidomersa1380]

LOVE IT! Favorite all time song: any band, any era.

[@bdr32965]

If possible I would love to hear you do a cover of Van Halen's Everybody Wants Some. Eddie did some crazy good shit playing on that song for sure. WOW!

[@rickc2102]

Two dollars!

[@zuszmanpatrice8409]

One of the best cover of Panama and played relax with a perfect smile 😊

[@juliocesarmartinez5953]

It would be nice to know what gear you used to get the sound. 🤘

[@cptzar6569]

I have been looking around, to find a good player where I can copy some stuff. And then I find this. I am just speechless.I am stunned. Wow!!!!

[@lakemnster9495]

As someone who has pretended to play guitar for 25 years, I'd like to note that this sounds great!

[@文夫大友]

エディの若い頃　音の全て新鮮で涙こぼれました　ありがとう

[@jackorear2536]

Absolutely SPOT ON!!!! You are an AMAZING talent! I mean...DAMN!!!

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

Never been a Van Halen fan, but this song specifically has such a cool bunch of licks. Also, I really appreciate how you put the sponsor portion at the end of the video so we can get right into what we clicked for.

[@robertglancy4474]

When other people cover EVH you get a real appreciation for what a genius he truly was...nice work.

[@angelarielsalazarhernandez399]

Hello!! I would request "Poundcake" from Van Halen with a drill, please, you're one of my influences to continue playing the guitar!! 😅❤🤟 PD: Greetings from Mexico! 🇲🇽

[@carola2494]

Yeah!! Poundcake is a epic song!!!!

[@robvegas9354]

Good Call!!!

[@cbwelch4]

Sounds spot on. Love this song from a happier time. Well played and thanks for the reminiscences. RIP EVH.

[@anneannabu5130]

Hi there, just found your video while cruising thru and wow.. You nailed it!!!! You have perfect presence and you seem to flow naturally with the song, it becomes yours.. and I like how you play along with the original recording but you're the only guitar. You are right on every note and no mess ups..and you're perfectly relaxed, I love it!! Eddie would be proud of you, and I think you're amazing❤ I just subscribed and clicked notifications, and wanna see all of your work.

Best listened to on a Walkman in June 1984 riding a beach cruiser .

I really loved the hell out of watching this video. You truly look like you have having fun and you're not trying to go out of your way to amass a SIMP following either.

Nailed it, completely. Really well done.

[@graffitithrill1]

I miss EVH.His licks are so rhythmic and inventive!!!The bridge on Panama is pure magic along with the rest of the song.

[@guitarplayerz4893]

Great Van Halen cover, Sophie!!! Nice touch with his signature guitar design on your computer monitor, too!!! I was fortunate enough to see them live, in concert, a number of years ago, when they were fronted by Sammy Hagar. Never did get to see them with Diamond Dave (David Lee Roth). If you're looking for another Van Halen cover, my favorite has always been "Finish What Ya Started". 👍🤘🎸

[@danielbonacchi2550]

As always, great execution.
