Im the One - Van Halen (guitar)

[jgm3100]

Sik Cover.

[StaticBlueESP]

Dude, I feel like I'm listening to the real thing, i uploaded the intro to this but I can't grasp the rhythm that you and Eddie have so I did my own thing, freakin awesome.

[hoboapril123]

sweet!



[opiumtrail]

This is excellent! Not only did you nail all the nuances, but you got that swing down beautifully.

[nicklove2011]

Best cover iv ever seen, of any song ever. Fucking amazing.

[longhornbeck1990]

holy shnikies that was nails!!!!!!

[steuko72]

Great job man, Eddie will be proud of ya!

[hummarstra]

close.

[Sub54Zero]

Fuckin outstanding

[Rodi5150kramer]

Dude you are really dam good :) great job

[jermug3223]

well done !!!!!!

[Yeseniaschick]

Dude, why arent you in a band and famous like Eddie. You're awesome!

[Yeseniaschick]

Either someone accidentally hit the dislike button or there is one jealous asshole out there who probably couldnt play this song to save his ass.

[catman45567]

that was amazing... speechless...

[mmeyer1]

So good! Can't believe some cunt disliked it...

[slimsanta100]

That was.. perfect :l

[ZAYKO50]

!

genial

[Kickstart25]

This is so BAD ASS that it's off the charts!!!! Nice job man, you really nailed it!! Don't you wish you wrote this? ;-)

Just goes to show how far ahead Ed's playing was when the VH I album debuted in the late 70s...jaws dropped when people heard the king of six strings & 10 fingers lay down tracks like this.

[William5150vh]

This is seriously bad ass...excellent job. I can tell you put an incredible amount of effort into it

[123jozef]

Capturing the tone is over half the battle of duplicity. Understanding what Eddie was thinking while he recorded is the other. You nailed both. Sounds great. By far the best rendition on Youtube. Obviously you were not trying to play every note exact, but you got the message across. Added to my favorites.

[Xmaia]

Great job man, and amazing "brown" sound

the more i see good covers the more i understand the genius of Eddie !

[ClevoMaiden]

Greatest cover so far. one mistake at 2:21 and that was it man. Great job!

[EddieAteDynomite]

@ClevoMaiden I think you're the first one to catch that...10 points!

[FrankSF91]

Waaaaaaaaaa you rock man!!!!!!! :D

[memopolanco]

estas pesado mi eddie te felicito tocas chingon mi eddie

[Mechanized0]

Excellent cover job. How many years have you played guitar?

[Pazak68]

Awesome job. What you have over most other guys is the bluesy feel that Ed had on this stuff. The tone is incredible. I havn't heard any better for Van Halen. Your assending runs in the solos are spot on. Just perfect.

[jjp009]

Wow! Who is the one dude or dudette who gave this performance a "Dislike"? Explain yourself.

[Luvrayzr]

Do you live near Buffalo? Lets start a band

[Luvrayzr]

wow....

[vickthashredder]

DUDE U ARE SICK>>>>>TOO COLD!!!!!!

[42blackhawks]

oh.....my.....god YOU'RE THE BEST FRICKIN GUITARIST IVE EVER SEEN! You have Eddie's tone right, Eddie's pitch right, Eddie's speed right, Eddie's transitions right, and you even have Eddie's guitar! ROCK ON MAN! 100 stars!

[vickthashredder]

@42blackhawks @Ednerd has nice van halen covers

[mountaineerndixie]

Amazing......either that was a fake or that was the best I have ever heard that played......and I DON'T think it was a fake.

Bravo!

[xKappash]

What gauge strings do you prefer to use for songs like these?

[ClevoMaiden]

Damn.. best cover ever

[thefrozenrope47]

hey man just windering....i know this is probably asked alot but..what do you use for your sound mesa triaxis? because i cant dial anything this good with that. A hot roded marshall? i heard eddie used one. And what pick-ups? Thanks!

[EddieAteDynomite]

Thanks! Pickup: Seymoure Duncan, Custom Custom

Amp: Rocktron Chameleon

[jjp009]

@EddieAteDynomite I have seen all of your videos, and I gotta tell you...if anything ever happened to Eddie and he couldn't play anymore, I think you could replace him and the band would never miss a beat! Every single nuance that Eddie puts into his playing that makes him HIM, you have down perfectly! And it seems natural to you, too.

[m13000]

ill buy it tht guitar from u 4 10g seriously we should get in touch

[EddieAteDynomite]

your crazy!

[Superbowserfreak11]

[TenTonJim]

Dude that is bad ass. How does the subscription thing work over at DGO? I have been hacking around on the guitar for almost 30yrs, some chops but pretty much ignorant on music, lazy I guess - would love to learn to play stuff like this. Great job.

Thanks,

~ Jim

[9erMatthew]

I think you did an amazing job!, I also think I watched this video like 15 times before I decided to comment, I ALSO think you sound exactly like Eddie because you're using a replica of his guitar so.......

[pskibobby]

i dont think its the actual replica...i think he made it

[learman96]

Talk about nailing it!! Great job!

[Dvdog007]

Fuckin Unreal...Dude, u my friend are a bad ass!!

[conjering]

[PVS1]

[FarmMachinist]

... your so good it's scary ... lol

[sixxjunkie2481]

how r u getting that tone mann???

[The5150Fan]

just like eddie did it ...the best way LLEVH (Long Live Eddie Van Halen)

[ChrisKiffmayer]

Are you Eddie? XD

[papinhabandit]

perfect !!!!

[6973]

Is it possible that I could get tabs for this? Im in the desert so I dont have time to look at the screen and figure it out haha

[TripperLV]

Amazing, you tone seems very similar to Eds, at least through my computer.

[TripperLV]

That is incredible. You smoke!

[HolyWeekJourney]

Been playing my whole life....I have chops to kill but tis is friggen amazing man. Kudos...Eddie would be like wtf?

[ElephantTank]

Smoking, just smoking...

[kurtrosenwinkel]

this is hands down the best eddie imitation i have ever heard period.

i can't tell the difference between this and the recording.

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

fudge!!!!!!!!!!

i used to teach eddie the best i could to my students that asked. i know nothing!!!

i'm cutting and pasting this to a past student's myspace so he can KNOW i sucked!

sheesh...

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

this is SO WEIRD! you sound exactly like eddie, so much that i knew you were faking it and not playing. but then u made a little mistake here, a tiny one there...

DUDE!

i've NEVER seen anything like you! u even have his tone down! i don't get impressed with people on utube, not cuz i'm a snob, but because everyones the same. you are different! i got chills again, with my freaking mouth hanging open! i never do that!

u should post this on vanhalen's myspace!!!

22 stars on this one!

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

how much would it be for you to make me a replica and send it to florida?

if youre willing lol

[westrokker]

please tell me what effects you're using?? sounds awesome..

[bigchillcar]

still lovin' your rendition...and btw, i ordered the seymour duncan custom custom and put it in last week into my previously all stock charvel model with jackson pickup. working on getting the height adjusted..any recommendations? how did you set yours? appreciate any thoughts..u can hear a few h tunes on my page. thanks! i play straight thru a bogner 112 spide rvalve. whaddaya think ot eh pod and other tone maker effects?

[slayer1232]

what type of stings and gauge are you using? also what type and model of amplifier?

[guitarbeast77]

Do u have any idea how exact you played that song? As an eddie fan, i have never heard it played better, 5 and a half stars out of 5! By the way, is that a 25 grand eddie van halen replica guitar ur using?

[EddieAteDynomite]

I'll sell it for a mere 10 G's if you want it! LOL!

[IronMike778]

Truly amazing.  Never seen it played better.

[hippypirate343]

Dude, fuking sweet

[guitarguy10000]

Excellent. I cut my teeth on this tune. Basically how I learned how to play.

No one( myself included) can get the swing of the rhythm properly...this is the best I've heard.

Even Ed can't swing it like he used to. That's what makes this one of his toughest tunes. Swinging that rhythm properly with a half mute.

Very very good job man.

[Ednerd]

fucking great! this is one of his toughest tunes (I think)

[tve32]

That was just friken awesome man... I don't think you could get much closer... What processor are you using?

[Greenballed]

"Sounds good kid...now stand up and play it"  Zakk Wylde 2008

Pretty good though!!!!!

[got2chews]

WOW! Awesome playing and tone

[GoofyGuitar68]

I have to say that was (DY-NO-MITE), ROCK-N-ROLL BABY, a lot of people put ice tea in their JACK DANIELS, not U!!

[carychilton]

sounds like the one of the best I'm the one attempts to me -minus a little swing lacking in spots but nice. It would be much more exciting to hear it without the original recording playing throughout... Did you build the guitar? Why did you pickup the custom custom?

[EddieAteDynomite]

Thanks! Yes I built this guitar. I was gonna get the Gibson paf, or the custom custom, they are very similar pickups.

I recorded the guitar in the left speaker without the band so just pan over to the left.

[MusiciansQuarters]

Good JOB!!!!

[nemesisrogue]

Thumbs Up.

Nice to see someone who can actually play the guitar. must be all of 5 on YT.

Just search for solos to Beat It, Eruption, Final Countdown, Electric Eye etc for bad renditions and morons giving 5 stars.

Nice to come across someone who actually deserves 5 stars.

[EZrhythm]

ABSO-shrEDin-LOOTLEE A+++

When ya absolutely positively have to shred like ed!

[EddieAteDynomite]

LOL!! Thanks!

[bigchillcar]

fanfriggintastic! man, i spent a good chunk of the last 2 months learning this vh tune. it's still rough..my timing was off, tempo slow..did a 2nd and little better go at it a week later with my brother on drums. man, this one takes an awful lot of time and patience. i've watched every version of this one here that i can..yours is the most accurate..easily a 99% of the original. :)

[conjering]

Very nice. What pickup and amp are you useing.

[EddieAteDynomite]

Thanks! Pickup: Seymoure Duncan, Custom Custom

Amp: Rocktron Chameleon

[2rojas3drummr9]

wow im impressed, this is one of the first vids ive seen to actually sound like this song
