Damn, I' am 52 years old and a hard core Van Halen fan from Queens NYC since 1980. That could've been the best imitation I have ever heard. How long did it take you to learn it? you look kind of young. I hear from other guitarists that the problem was it took awhile for guitarists to figure out his system. He has a way of method to the madness. Once you understand that, then its easier to imitate what he did. But nobody back in the 1970s not even the great Randy Rhoads who came from same place and time period ...knew WTF he was doing. lol great job, bravo! you brought tears to my eyes....

Also from Queens here and with VH since mid 70s. I was there when they opened for Sabbath at Nassau Colliseum. Blew everyone's mind. Harold's playing is phenomenal. All of us who wanted to play like Eddie growing up quickly realized it was in the elusive tone. Getting that right was the most difficult part. I am more a fan of the tone on VH I and II. Thank you Harold for showcasing those albums.

To play that well is a massive act of respect to the man you honor. In his early days EVH didn't want people to copy him for all the right reasons. If there is a beyond and his spirit is aware I am sure he sees those that put in the effort to keep it all alive and smiles with love for those that honor him,. It is a celebration in performance!

No sh!t! Harold Trucco!! You have got to be the "BEST" EVH guitar sounding impersonator out there!! I have watched tons of EVH impersonators and I can honestly say " You have got to be the BEST at it!" Absolutely AMAZING! You've captured Eddie's spirit, technique, style and sound. Some people get some of it right, BUT YOU have seemed to capture every little nuance and texture. AMAZING!

So true!! However, it is easier to play like him and sound like him when you have the right effects and amp. I had been trying to get his sound my whole life, and 3 years ago I finally got it. I use pretty much the same effects setup as this guy, but I have a Friedman BE100 amp instead of the Marshall, and I also have an MXR EQ pedal like Eddie used. It helps boost the treble and cut out some lows. Once I got his tone nailed, my playing went to a whole new level. It's easier to play like Eddie when you have the brown sound! R.I.P. Eddie!!

I like how you’re using Eddie’s tremolo picking technique where your wrist is pretty radically bent and the rotation comes from the wrist and forearm. Hard to describe, but I think it results in a favorable angle of attack for the pick against the strings and sounds super clear. I call it “The Hummingbird “ because the movement reminds me of the vibrations a hummingbird makes in flight. Also, this whole video is fantastic. Liked and subbed.
