Maggot brain is one of my favorite songs man, thank you for this, it was a whole new wonderful experience, I felt your soul through that guitar man, you truly are phenomenal.

[@kennethwilliams7630]

Damn it's been over 2 years since I seen you do this live. Still coming back to it. Nuts.

[@daavehimlock9526]

WOW. Actually made Maggot Brain his own rather than a simple cover. Amazing work.

[@aloiseaux767]

No such thing as a simple cover haha love it

[@BAMozzy69]

Loved this performance during the Live shows and glad it's been uploaded as a standalone video...

[@IKMCG]

same same same what an absolute tune.

[@thatcomicdad1687]

Props to him just for playing that hard for that long

[@kennethwilliams7630]

Amazing as always

[@domindrakegaming7956]

This is my favorite song of all time. It reminds me of my beautiful mother. I miss her, and this remake of yours has brought happy tears to my eyes once again. Thank you.

[@patches6309]

Bong rip to your Mom, may she rest in peace but party in power up there bro.

[@zippydinocrash]

My mom died when I was about ten. This song makes me think of her for some reason, I'm right there with you man. May your mom smile down upon you.

[@kennethfoster2587]

I. Miss. My. Mom. You. People. Go. Hold. Ur. Mom. Tell. U. Love. Kiss

[@Frewster]

Eddie Hazel was told to "play like you just found out your mother died" so this comment really hit me different. It's easily one of my favourite songs too. Best wishes to you and yours

[@keith726able]

I played the record in 1970 right after I got the call that my mother broke her neck in a car accident. She survived ok, she's 96. Funny how we all made the exact same association with this song and our mothers' deaths.

[@JC-11111]

On a TELE?!? Man this is absolutely mind-blowing! Yea. You got my, subscription with this one. Bravo, sir. BRAVO! 👏👍 I've been listening with my jaw on the floor the entire time. O. M. G.

I've listened to this song a million times over, and this is a masterpiece . A work of absolute art. Well done to you sir! This will be ringing out somewhere when I'm gone for sure.

[@RustyStrings666]

RIP Calvin Simon, bass player of Funkadelic and Maggot Brain. Died today. In tears listening to this. Thankyou to the worlds greatest guitarist Dovydas for covering the greatest song of all time.

Fuzz Tone Level reaching Critical Mass!! WoW Bro, Eddie just sat the fuck up & grinned hearing this! RIP Eddie, keep shreddin' & partying in Power with all the GOATS! Excellent cover, very well done. Salute to you Dovydas!

[@SolaceInHD]

When i listen to hazels orginal i hear a guitar thats heart broken, longing, anger and pain. Like someone holding on too tight so they wont fly off into nothingness. When i listen to your version i hear ego, frustration and a mix of very impressive intricate notes that arnt from the soul. But still extremely impressive.

[@kolchak357]

I remember seeing this performed live. So great! A real classic.

[@looseleaf8721]

*shreds soulfully* absolutely beautiful

[@Davett53]

Recalling the early 1970s,...getting baked on some great weed or hashish,....Koss stereo headphones were a must for listening to this,..or sitting up close next to Bose 901 end-table sized speakers. Me and my best friends from our dormitory as freshmen in college,.....we bonded over this one. We still recall it,...as it was epic.

[@bulldogneon]

by far the most beautiful piece you've ever played...i listen to this the same way i listen to comfortably numb

[@anneinfurna8528]

Truly Epic. Can't say enough about this guy's Commitment to his ART!!! BRAVO!!!! times a Thousand!

[@mykilee5108]

You have captured the soul and essence of this song in a way that's completely original. This is a beautiful work of art, sir- thank you.

[@ceedogg4270]

That wasn't Maggot Brain. He's playing the wrong chord progression so it's kind of hard to capture the essence of it and the beginning of the guitar sole always starts the same. This is close but no cigar.

[@dameline3355]

I can't get enough of this guy.

[@brusombeardbelly4112]

sometimes a dovy song slips threw the memory banks and the algore rythm will float it back years later. just amazing

[@gaudin5573]

goosebumps time, massive track! got hamptons signature at a concert in montreux, what a gig, 3.5 hours I think it was, very nice to request that from dovi, he makes so much of it, stunning!

[@BobKlass]

The correct chords are Em D Bm C. Over and over. Very nice.

[@KKMDStyle]

Dude, now you are talking! This is song is one of the ultimate guitar tracks from the 70s. Those were the days!

[@kennethwilliams7630]

Insane how this still is my “get ur butt outta bed” jam first thing in the morning. Rock the house then get a coffee. Noooiiice!!!

Only DØVYDAS can start with a comment like “it’s a ten minute song with a long guitar solo” and make it a 15 minute song instead. 🔥🎸

[@philleamon3020]

Just sublime. A master at work. Your interpretation hits the spot!

[@andreharrington7169]

I am a huge Eddie Hazel and Michael Kid funkadelic Hampton fan of Maggot Brain. Nobody should expect it to sound just like them. Other than that this was a treat to hear your interpretation of this great classic guitar solo song

You introduced me to this gift. Thank you sir. Truly beautiful..

I absorbed this last night.. very cool. Still remember Cleveland radio stations playing this at midnight on the weekends (maybe they still do). Made for some interesting cruises back then with your best friends in the car all smoked up and going 25 MPH in a 45 :]

[@ohiojohn]

@@ThreePlyChord WMMS 100.7 played it for years on the overnight by BLF Bash. It started out at 3 am then got moved to 1:30 am on 'MMS. The tradition was picked up by 98.5 WNCX and they are the ones who play it at midnight.

This was a spiritual experience.. I don't want to write anything more but I just can't comprehend what this was..

I've been binging on everybody loving maggot Brain for the last 3 my friend Chris turned me on to the jam track It takes you somewhere I love your version to a place where you're gone man. Everybody I listen to go somewhere where they are And I love going with them there. Nifty thing is it always comes out Maggot Brain ❤ 🎸👍

[@whysprs]

Nice!!. Our youngest son wanted something to work on that would be more difficult and this was the song I gave him.. so imagine if you will a 13 yr old cranking out some funkadelic

[@chrisbrooks8177]

You're talented, no doubt. Mad skills and you sound great. Buuuuuutttt.... to all the people commenting... this is much closer to Eddie van Halen than Eddie Hazel. If you REALLY want to hear Maggot Brain, go listen to the original. As good as this guy is, he doesn't do it justice. Still, impressive for your first time hearing it.

[@thatdude8174]

One of my favorites just for the memories

[@michaelboen2314]

This is the best video you have uploaded yet. You are insane.... When I lack the motivation to play guitar I watch your videos!!! You're my inspiration. thank you

[@Thisisahandle701]

Oh s***, I can definitely feel this song becoming a sleeper hit. I've heard it referenced a weirdly large number of times by different people over the last few months.

[@JiraiyaTheGallant44]

A sleeper hit? Seriously not trying to be a jerk or anything but this song came out in 1971. It's already a hit, it just gets slept on because it's by a funk band and not Led Zeppelin or some other super group. Anyway, keep listening to it, it's easily one of if not the best guitar solo of all time.

[@JC-11111]

Becoming a sleeper hit? Dude it's like 50 years old.

[@JC-11111]

@@JiraiyaTheGallant44 thank you! I just found it because of another late guitar player by the name of Joseph Bythewood, who was murdered in 2015. He was INCREDIBLE. You can find his playing on probably hundreds of very popular rap & R&B songs & albums from the 80s until he was killed in 2015 by his adult son. I was looking for footage of him playing and there's a vid of him playing it on here. 1st time I ever heard it and Joe aka JB MONEY absolutely killed it. JB Money aka Joe Bythewood is responsible for what I consider to be the very best guitar solo ever played on a rap song. Look up "PWA Instrumental" and go to the 4 minute mark. Tbh, that solo reminds me a lot of Maggot Brain. Still, I believe it's the best guitar solo ever put on a rap song. Ever. And it was by the homey JB MONEY. RIH, JB!

[@Thisisahandle701]

@@JC-11111 As in: a recent trend of the song getting more popular at a higher rate than would be expected, given that it is over 50 years old. Really didn't think I'd have to defend this throwaway YT comment

I originally found this song when looking at the movie Love and its epic threesome scene It mixed my two favorite things in the world: boundless sex and heaven-caressing guitar solos Went back to listen to the whole album and had goosebumps from start to finish

[@bobsims762]

[@ceedogg4270]

This isn't Maggot Brain. He's playing it wrong.

[@bobsims762]

@@ceedogg4270 you have to consider that he hasn't spent the time listening 🎧 to Maggot Brain like we have. I first heard it in 1977 or sometime around there.

[@ceedogg4270]

@@bobsims762 No I don't have to consider that because any musician with a half way decent ear on first listen can hear how the chord progression resolves and it doesn't sound even remotely similar to this. There's a huge difference between resolving on C from a Bm and resolving on an Am from a C. The way he's playing it loses all the tension and resolution of the actual chord progression. I think his fast noodling is distracting people from the fact that this doesn't sound right at all.

[@russellanderson6455]

Well damn then, Sonny Jim!! OK then!! How friggin wicked are you??? Spiritual transport complete!!!!

Dovydas By:Yitkbel Based on your experience with the International Blues Competition. (Last two stanzas are Dovydas + Exoliner Acrostic; look at every first letter.) I was listening to In the Court of the Crimson King when I wrote this because of the stream.) Three lightning bolts strikes apart The heart of the last Revelstar Forging a silhouette of the astral bard At an event horizon eons dark The light of Exoliner finally sparks The silenced cores of a billion stars How many worlds, how many (cosmic) strings Are revived by the Cerulean king In his youth he was chased by a dream Chased by the voice of an ancient beam The wise men, wise men are dying (aging) Dusting off their souls and wings The last of them will soon depart Without a new heir to the old art Darkness sweeps steadily across Over the future and the past Voices of the children cease to sing Yielding to the roaring changing wind Dancers fall as the encore lifts again Alas, the swan song finally sinks in Suddenly, the last stars cease to be Eons have already slumbered past Xenagogues guide him to one last One last singing blue Revelstar Lightning strikes from above Igniting the forge’s old heart Neutron (stars’) waves string across Every (last) note a cosmic spark Reviving every (last) dream lost (Edits: typos)
