Wells Cunningham playing Spanish Fly by Van Halen

[GreenwichMusic]

Unreal, the best guitar cover on YouTube of any song by any artist! This is so perfect that I keep listening to the pauses to remind myself he isn't air guitaring to VH II.

[hangmangers]

amazing !!!!!!!!!!!

[stone314687]

and on acoustic

[guigodoipiano]

have u ever tried the piano??

[mapleblackdrums]

You had to pause a little or people would have thought it was the original.

[ThyrmBloodaxe]

lmao fretted guitar

[MOSKII58]

well done

[goodbyegirlorca]

Sounds just like Eddie!

[thewhiterabbit96]

wow. enough said

[Sennanchie]

Very well done Artofcello. This is the best, smoothest version I have yet to hear on youtube. Despite a couple of brief pauses, it was almost flawfless. Excellent job my man.

[stevedancer]

Killer!

[kevingilbertfan]

Nice. Best version on the internet.

[XxAssumedNattxX]

flawlesss



[SamPabloKuper]

Beautiful!

[gusyrocks]

[777mrmusicman]

[tl46]

that was great. nice job man.

[DTraneNC]

19 idiots

[calbeza]

Very nice!

[blugzor]

i am from Brazil in south america and this is just brilliant.

[vongibson1968]

nice one Wells, I just watched 4 different versions of this on You Tube and yours is the best...can you do another in H D now?...

[guspopov]

Man, I would need 8 fingers in my hands to play this way... :)

[ramzahnY]

so much sensitivity 

[salvadormarley]

Great.

[EddySwass]

Sick.

[dli42395]

watch my version! v=IoSRqzbMYfw

[dorlandosonic]

Very nice. Usually I get pissed off by all these f*cking imitators when I'm trying to find the real thing on Youtube. This was an exception.

[heyawhaw]

HA! I guess you have to be EVH to get any closer to the real thing!

[RedWings4Life33]

20 people actually thumbed down this video! why!?

[EddySwass]

@RedWings4Life33 Because their fucking losers. This guy is phenomenal.

[wsl3docmob]

Holy God. You sound Almost like the album

[mynamesnotwill]

i just love that 'spanish' sound

[chadgarber]

That sounds exactly like the original (except the one open string ringing in the tapping part) but holy cow! How do you get that whipping sounds in the runs?

[KAPNIZW]

Excellent

[johndenner]

Still by far the very best cover of Eddie Van Halen Spanish Fly on youtube !

By a country mile !

John Denner

[OrganicAudioRecordrs]

that did NOT suck

[cama1112]

you are awesome !!!!

[cliffdimerandy]

good job

[rockguitar82]

by far the best cover of spanish fly ive ever seen. great job!

[MrHellblazer69]

practice...practice...practice­...

[codyjt5150]

@MrHellblazer69 your dam right about that

[MrHellblazer69]

practice makes perfect.....

[downwithhillary]

@MrHellblazer69 thats not practice thats crack and fingers on steroids jesus christ that was incredible

[codyjt5150]

i seen this during school and made want to learn to play this, and thanks to this video, i can play the whole thing.

[mynamespitt]

the transitions are the key moments.....

freakning flawless....

5 stars

[blugzor]

Hey Hellblazer can you show us how you knock down spanish fly ?

We are so impatient

[zaigar11]

Dude you rock!!!!

[Jayhova808]

[Roskomaximus]

Holy shit!! NAILED it!

[MrHellblazer69]

wells is a great influance on the tube......keep up the great work......peace out

[starlinginspector]

Wells is incredible, pure and simple.

[MrHellblazer69]

dude you crack me up..... keep rehearsing you need it...peace out

[stuntjumper654]

i agree with you but look up "spanish fly tak" for a flawless performence even better than rick grahams. in my opinion rick grahams musicality is a little robotic and he plays the fast part different than EVH. Watch the video above and you will be blown away i promise. P.s. its the japanese one

[omjurmom96]

this was a good cover...u prob suck dude.

[MrHellblazer69]

Im a guitarist, keep rehearsing,peace out

[teddyt]

@MrHellblazer69 u know were u typed in, "guitarist"??....type in "moron"..

[teddyt]

steinarrexwhatever ur name iz...ur moron...lol..

[steinarrexfaroensis]

Lol I know. Thanks for pointing that out

[steinarrexfaroensis]

Saw it on mexican TV, it's a fake

You can tell by looking at his fingers

[TheInvalidChronicles]

@steinarrexfaroensis wow how is this fake??

[steinarrexfaroensis]

Bcos Wells Cunningham isn't real.

[MrHellblazer69]

check out spanish fly by rick graham......blows this dude away........just my opinion

[teddyt]

@MrHellblazer69 ur a moron...lol..

[phunkdified12]

agreed lol

[schismc]

So close to the original it's amazing. Excellent job - five stars.

[VcrRocker]

fun to watch...i'll look for this guy on myspace...

[2cool4u303]

holy crap amazing

[ashfender150]

good freakin job

[DanielBecker123]

BEAST!!!, that was wicked man

[jamesjarvis618]

very impressive i actually like that rendition of it.

[danozwalks]

fuckin pro

[JtheMan321]

and i jizzed in my pants!

[danabe12]

youve probably been told this many times, but you are friggin awesome...

[mrrobblack]

Awesome

[tonyc329]

You don't need me to tell you this, but that was amazing. Well done!

[Mobmotors]

that's about as good as it gets

[rickylefebvre]

wow you are actually really good at it.

you and rick graham are the best people ive ever seen play it except eddie himself

[JakeTheRocker1]

wow that was good

[ClayPeopleBroadcast]

sounds exactly like the original...

[DirtyRose54]

That was so sweet!! Could you make a "how to" video??

[SamuraiiDanny]

O.O this defies absolutely everything I've known about playing the acoustic guitar.

[crazyfish245]

Amaazing

[guitarvirtuoso14762]

only thing you missed was evh's legendary uhh at the beginning

[Chillybeef123]

hahaha ive been wonderin about that . . . it sounds like he says in a wierd accent "'ere we go" hahahahaha . . . anyway, incredible cover, i could never even touch this, you have some serious talent

[EddieVanHalen316]

it sounds to me kinda like it might be Dave with the uhh, but I could be wrong

[Arycke]

Big debate over that :) It's been heard that in an interview he said that he says "And again," but to most (and me originally) it sounded like "here we go." :) Left to the imagination :D

[VanHalenWorshiper]

@guitarvirtuoso14762 lmao

[seanSHRED87]

wOw!

[Kemmitt76]

This is so spooky.

It is like "exactly" note for note, intonation for intonation, muted for muted.

Play YouTube:Van Halen - Spanish Fly (Studio Version)

AND you will not believe it.

[kg6120]

It is pretty wild, huh? You would almost think it was over dubbed. Either that or it really him playing on the V/H album. J/K

[fretjam12321]

hands down best cover man, you need a vid of you just freestyling now:D

[owltotem]

Spot on.

[Potatos89]

='O

[joeyvenden]

That was nothing short of INCREDIBLE.....please post more videos of you .

[Darietto1986]

Great!!!!!!!

[BlackWolfgang70]

you made it note by note like the original one ! great ! really great !

[rascle4]

very nice eddie would be amazed

[LastRowKid]

you have the damn coolest name ever

[edwardtang1977]

that was great ! Awesome!

[petersmongo]

This is the best version of Spanish Fly I have ever heard besides the original.

[TachoSJ]

Bravo!!!

[flamintatertots]

oh.....my.......god

[meaning1]

How many instruments are you able to play...so perfectly, as well.

[ATCHTFD]

WOW!

[NeilCrouse]

I'm agreeing with the majority, bang on job bro

[eddiequest4]

your timing is impeccable. sweet sweet sounds. it's a shame there aren't any more stars.

[Diamondguyrt]

Dead on.....nobody better....but ed of coarse..LOL

[mickiew4]

excellent

[partynmyjeans]

yea the nylon strings are a pain in the ass at downtune, i use GHS ones and they are bad enough in standard tune, let alone anything lower, but bravo for the video

[SpanishEyedDesi]

you left me with my mouth hanging open.

that was intense.

[pharasalia]

Bravo. I love Wells.

[YoBroMan]

Wow! I mean...WOW!!!! It just doesn't get any better then that. Period.

I'm very close, but not this close. Give this guy all the credit in the world, this is the best Spanish Fly cover you're ever going to hear. Period.

Yo!

[wandereruk05]

perfect cover mate, excellent playing

[lyr2112]

WOW...thats all i have to say. evh is my idol but it pisses me off that he only does the tapping part live cuz it really is a beautiful piece and you captured that elegance perfectly in this cover

[schenker69]

It's guys like you that show what a great talent VH used to be....so sad what a lazy horrible player he has become today. 5***** for you. GREAT PLAYING

[Beoy999]

not my type of music im more into feeling music or a rhythm as oppossed to showing skills. but that takes talent

[MOSKII58]

very good, the only thing i might add is it was a bit laid back, perhaps play it more agressively. otherwise you have it down , nice work..not an easy piece to perform.

[zigzagbigbag]

i agree totally....very good job but, not agressive enough. when i hear eddie play this its almost like the strings will be ripped off the neck.

[Pernicia007]

Este man es un Moustruo!!... Guitar, Violin and God of Cello...!!! Excelent.

[robbieswain]

nice try but no one i mean no one is better than eddie

[durtmagert]

this cat rips it tho. better than ed could now i bet

[robbieswain]

i dont know i saw than van halen in concert in 2008 and i mean its a hard gig too manage but they by far pulled it off but deffinetly this guy is better than anyone i know maybe not this one guy but everyone else ya look up extreme there guitarist it a friend of my dads they grew up together he sometimes drops by my house his name is nuno bettencourt awesome shredder check em out

[znik93]

shhhhhhhh!!!!

dont be tell'n kids about him!!!!

[MOSKII58]

Nuno is very well known he was the guitarist for Extreme i think was the name of the band.

[rocketaxe]

wow...Stand up and take a bow. That was fantastic playing which shows a great command of your instrument and a bang on rendition of a Master's work. Kudos!!

[jellygoeswobble]

Second that!

[wilbuvarna]

this is way beter than eddie!!! this is amazing

[djdecember]

twat

[ModiusKun]

Flawless....or rather, that was executed so well that it is really difficult to pick out any misfires.

Amazing!!

A cover version that truly does justice to Eddie's creative genius. Great job, dude!!

[QuickLister27]

Perfect except for 0:46. That's amazing.

Very hard to sound exactly like VH.

[teddyt]
