Great tutorial tomshred please tutorial mine all mine solo

[@brendanbyrne3028]

I'm in! I'm loving the Swedish Shred Secrets so can't wait for this one.

[@martinsalas6642]

Spoke so much that play.

[@abcdefghijk5095]

Hands down the best tutorial for this epic solo on KZbin.

[@SuperMozzman]

Stretch lick finally taught the correct way

[@dannywashburn54]

You can get it for FREE when you PURCHASE shred like Ed? Capitalism at it finest my friend thanks for the content you've offered for free

[@mikey.caputo]

just started electric after playing acoustic for 12 years, this just brought me back into my beginner days lol. Ive got down the first 5 seconds of the solo and that about it

[@tomv.5297]

Dear Tom, You are SO GOOD... Mega...Thanks!

[@mudwiser1391]

Man, this is gold. Great stuff Tom. This should keep me busy over the weekend between hockey and baseball.

[@MicheleAncis]

That's the most perfect reproduction of this great solo I've ever heard. The harmonic at @0:17 just stunned me

[@Metallion1337]

Far Beyond The Sun next time! 🙏🎸

[@GuitarGangsterArmi]

That’s too hard for Tom. Tom take the bait.

[@kakarot666.]

Yeah.. Tom can never .. not even in 100 years.. 😅. I hope this touches his heart . So that he can touch ours later😅😅​@@GuitarGangsterArmi

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

not even once lol comparing this solo to far beyond is absurd

[@NapsterRulez]

​@@naegleriafowleri2230 I know right, the beat it solo is closer to smoke on the water than far beyond the sun

[@Fernando-rb1cb]

You are the only one who plays all the harmonics correctly, very close to the original recording

[@365dongle3]

I like the way you can hear the natural unamplified sound coming from the strings mixed with the amplified sound at the same time. Great levels. Great tutorial video!! This is my favourite solo of all.

[@jmorris9631]

Your emulation of his technique is impressive. I’ve been playing for 46 years and I don’t suck. That being said, some people got it, and some people don’t. You GOT IT!!! Rock on brother!

[@peppino1961]

I can watch this solo all day and never get tired of it. Van Halen was one of a kind for just this solo alone.

[@MomongaMH]

It's just amazing how much goes into this solo. Really impressive that you've been able to master it, I can't imagine what it must have been like in Eddie's mind when he came up with this

[@joelturner5957]

That is the cleanest beat it solo I have ever heard man 🫨🫨

[@MrSlushee22]

I think it’s about time I learn this solo and take my Electric Guitar playing to the next level. I’ll definitely be grabbing your Shred like Ed course.

[@bigbwatt7872]

Thank you Tom! I am working your course Shred like Ed currently and it’s Awesome. I love how authentic it is! You leave in all the mis-steps and multiple attacks (respectfully). Such as if you miss a pinch harmonic and then get it the second time. That’s exactly how it is as you know, when we are learning something new and challenging. You also cover everything verbally without talking too much or playing too fast. Bravo my friend! It’s a great course!

[@NorseHamr]

Bro, this is the best demo and tutorial for for the Beat It solo. You captured a lot of the little nuances that Eddie put in there to the point where it almost sounded like a take he did himself. I learned a lot from this...Thanks

[@kefetDtcom]

Best instructor I have ever seen

[@Fender308]

Brilliant teaching! No doubt on the abilities 😮

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT...!!! Thank you very much & God bless you! Cheers from germany. 🍺🍺🍺

[@Wildbillsgarage]

Nicely done. Thank you. Always after glimpsing into Ed's visionary playing, and demystified by a true fan, you @TomShreds, it's mind altering, and such fun to play!

[@Mossy5150]

Wow, I never knew that rumor that Ed used a SS amp for the solo, but when you listen to it...very clearly something different than the album tones he was using at the time. Excited to see your new course drop, I might actually pull the trigger on that one since you're clearly top 3 VH-style shredders on YT at the moment.

[@hashimelmoataz9485]

Man u r the best solo teacher ever ❤

[@mariusignat9359]

Done with my students when I was a music teacher. Would love to hear your take

[@MegaSerioussam]

Very good lesson. First one I have found that I'm going to sit down and learn. Feel like I can do this one. Really like the way you identify repeating licks and teach them first before the Phantom Menace parts ;-)

[@jsoye]

I'd love the Mine all mine solo as well Tom if you were thinking of things to do? It's a great solo and not well demonstrated! I've signed up for the Eddie and Yngwie packages and they are great! Best wishes from Northern Ireland!

[@nickandrews2255]

That stretch for the 19th fret is so ridiculously hard for me right now will try again soon cheers as we go cheers like continuously till it feels comfortable obviously at my own pace cheers

[@engine5]

bro same. and i have big fucking hands!

[@wingsab]

the part that sounds 'christmassy' are the same notes as the cat food commercial. Meow Mix. faboulous tutorial

[@MarcoRenno]

Brilliant Tom, thanks for the lesson! I'd just like to know the pedals set up for having the amazing sound...

[@Iceman-xx1kh]

EVH was a legend and genial..this is brilliant Tom. A nice one to try is Brian May's Star Fleet mini album.. classic ❤

[@yourhandyman]

You are an amazing player.

[@drj9945]

Another great tutorial would be There's Only One Way To Rock from Live Without A Net! Would be SUPER helpful!!! Thanks! Love your channel!!!

[@AT-zb3mj]

Absolutely wonderful.

[@ron.lightning.9065]

Got to say, that's a pretty good cover of the great Eddie Van Halen. Nice work! Kudos!

[@prakarso]

I was remember back in 90's when used cassette tape back and forward to figure out how edies was playing and sound like that....

[@edwardglyons]

This is super awesome! Thanks so much Tom.

[@alexandrebarroso2035]

Agora eu acho que consigo com essas belas explicações Obrigado

[@neroalvar7558]

Beat it by michael jacson i heared that song for a decade lately i know tha EDV who play the lead guitar which very overwhelming sounds ever youve got the greatest your my I dol Jump which you perform i salute you and coleague groups ever@. 😊 😊 😊

[@kakarot666.]

No matter how much of a guitar critic one may be.. but none criticizes this solo.. 🔥. . And I'm pretty sure I'm right on this one..

[@Andres-qi5wd]

Muchas gracias, saludos desde chile

[@yourhandyman]

Hi Tom. Are all your Van Halen tutorials done with the guitar detuned a half step? Thanks.

[@TomShreds]

Yep! E flat tuning 🎸😎🤘

[@DarkRising12]

Thank you so much for this one! EVH's technique is extremely intimidating to attempt to learn 👏👏👏🔥

[@mariusthedude9813]

I have some video proof of it on my channel and these shred gains are only thanks to you!💪🏼🤘🏼💪🏼🤘🏼 Thanks for everyhting you do and I cant wait to try out your new course Shred Like Ed

[@JudgeFredd]

Perfect

[@CYON4D]

Awesome stuff.

[@NeoTrust-ql8im]

Awesome!

[@tom12ta]

Wow,thanks for sharing this 🍺🍺🍺😉🤘🙏🎸🔥🗝

[@andyurban1930]

I find high gain and running a wah pedal toe down really helps with tap harmonics but I'm getting a lot of white noise when distortion and wah pedal are engaged at the same time. Anyone else come across this?

[@vinnd2163]

soooooo awesomeeeeee brooooo

[@dafs3212]

Necesito pedal para eso? Aparte del de distorsión

[@louddude]

is this filmed with chromakey? stunning look 👍btw I think a simple inversion of tabs image (to black bg with white notes) would fit this video much better

[@hell1807]

I love you from thailand

[@andreastrautner576]

Tom, the tuning.... is it half step down?

[@michaelpirotta6494]

Yes half a step down

[@das250250]

I've never heard that "clapton lick "played by Clapton .. can someone refer to me an instance ?

[@lukeparsons1187]

Do you have a gear setup for this? How to get the tone and sound?

[@mysteriomarvel933]

Hi..what guitar effects processor are you using to be compatible with the VH patches you are offering? Many thanks...

Add more gain. Use your Humbuckers. Might not be able to do it with a single coil strat, etc
