Cool cover of the keyboard part Dave !!!! Eddie Van Halen is so slick and smooth combined with mind blowing power to his sound that few can pull off covering him as well as you do! :) Two thumbs up !!!
You never cease to amaze me. While I appreciate the effort to simulate the organ parts, the guitar solo is simply stunning. I wish it was ten times longer. Great job.
Hey Dave, what a great idea, and it sounds bloody awesome!! But... stop blasting the speakers, you gotta watch your ears, man! ;-) Have a great weekend.
Hi Dave, I already pushed the like button this afternoon; but i wanted to leave you a comment on how cool the keyboard sounds on your geetar! Awesome my friend! Who is singing?
Right on Dave! You are a genius! And there are many people on Youtube that play note for note VanHalen but very few that play with the feel you do. Most of the other guys just sit on their butts and lack any passion. You simply rule
Badass. I had never heard the synth parts played on a guitar. Kind of Tom Morello-ish. It sounds like a phaser, maybe or some other modulation? Some of those chord stretches looked a little tough. Also, the PRS is just smokin' hot. Best of both worlds! (excuse the cheap Van Halen pun)
I learned the keyboard line on guitar back in the 80's and though, great what can I do with this? Thanks for showing me your arrangement. I am going back to the plate on this one. You are great and I hope you are working in the industry and using your talents..
what ya using for a flange / phase Dave?? an old mxr stompbox? sounds VERY authentic to me brother. ya captured all the "eddie-isms" just perfectly. Candy for the ears my friend !!
@PixxyLixxx ... thanks Steve! The wide stretched finger tapping part I did toward the end of the keyboard solo was a bitch LOL... partly because I didn't crank the gain. I was actually supposed do that part for longer (in the sections immediately before and after), but I got lazy and transposed it down an octave so I could use the open g string. Rock on bro!
Fantastically done! Have to say my favorite part was the keyboard solo you translated to Custom 24. You should do a lesson on that one... I think guitarists would sell thier sneakers to learn that!
@fretworx .. hey thanks bro, originally I was going to tap the entire keyboard solo but you have to move hand positions too frequently such I just didn't it the simpler way. :)
@PDXguitarfreak So funny, bc I used to try to pick it all out! Turned out to be a wee bit challenging for my non-Nuno fingers :) You did a perfect rendition, though. Think I'll try to learn it, Sensei.
Very creative!
