[TheLiLdudeproduction]

You move to fast on,tapping

[Jar27Head]

Lol wopes didnt mean to do that girls would probaly like a fingering from him

[mcgXaliasXbam]

thats a gread cover dude

your guitar has a pretty sound, i love it

[Jackzamazing13]

@iml337rofl yeah because Van Halen is one of those unsigned bands that haven't made it into the rock and roll hall of fame or anything! Don't hate on something you prabably can't do because your too busy being a retard slagging of good videos!

[EmAndNina]

OMG hes good!

[TheDanzatron]

Chuck Norris can play this on a triangle.

[FreiScheisse]

lol I wanted to learn how to play this then I saw your fingers moving and i was like O_O maybe I should wait a while.. like 5 years XD

[ThaSkyzThaL1m1t]

You are a fucking BEAST !!

[XxalvaroxXxD]

chuck norris can do this with his balls

[someone0209]

what ibanez is that

[Treythemusician]

i have this same guitar with a rosewood fretboard, i was wondering whats the difference in this besides it has a maple fretboard.

[ultradian7]

@Treythemusician About $1,000. This is a PGM 301.

[Bergelmir1988]

Yeah Dude, u rock man cool cover and a nice guitar

[stayXbrutal78]

38 people jizzed their pants and blame this guy

[takeitbiach]

38 people dont like eddy van halen

[jhabeeb1]

this is very excellent. real smooth and clean.

[69erthx1138]

At 1:05 you bring your pinky into the arpeggio, was this an phasing error of just some creativity on your part. BTW, tight playing, very tight!

[Bryc3ee]

Nice work man. And nice PGM too :D

[TiagOPessolo]

Yeah, he looks like Eddie LOL

It is very, very good, man ! It is very similar with the original version.

One note: on time of typing you skipped one part (just a costructive criticism).

I'm sorry if I made any mistake, I am not an american and I don't have a fluent English.

Bye.

[TheTaco1995]

he looks like eddie

[guitarloverph]

:O!!!!



[bmg0079]

That was awesome. I've never seen that played on the guitar before, only heard it on the album. Sounds amazing!

[Dsous1337]

I envy people who can play this song in its entirety. It must feel so amazing to make sounds that beautiful.

no homo.

[snakev10v5]

this is nice and easy once you master the speed but it sounds fucking awesome ^_^, my sound is better though :o check out my vids :L there randomness :L

[TheTaylorGuy]

Good work my fellow guitarist, great chops!

[wanthrasherholic]

ur tone is sweet..

[PhantomLord95]

fuckin sweet mate!

[JT6245]

Wtf that was soo epic

[lilyonrocks]

Wow! AMAZING COVER! Keep up the good work dude. :)

[iml337rofl]

how the fuck is this the hardest song to play correctly?

1. its pretty easy

2. its a horrible song. no melody just shitty fingertaping and garbage.

[ultradian7]

@iml337rofl If you played guitar you wouldn't say that, so if you can't play it, then its actually impossible not "pretty easy." I have never heard anyone who plays the guitar insult EVH or his playing.

[SirFightsalot]

@ultradian7 hes trolling

[TheLegobot]

@iml337rofl it my look esay but it is hard big time it takes like a year just to get that song right

[jonni928]

@iml337rofl Just another guitar hero fanboy who thinks playing it on guitar hero, means you can play it on a real guitar. Troll harder.

[BlackGhost574]

@iml337rofl that what a normal tone deft idiot would say, i bet you dont even know how to play guitar lol, go get a guitar and try doing this and see what happens

[randomreviewstv]

:O

[TheAdacho997]

Now, Eddie, it's the time to take off your mask... :D

[phutch77]

Great effort mate and not a bead of sweat in sight!

[blandishblaze]

tight bro , good job

[AleksaBozicic]

You have obviously never heard for M.A.B.

[MrGuitarrica]

No way!!!

It's the Sandguy from Spiderman 3! =D

And he plays guitar really well! =D

[TheEliminator1992]

If only my pull-offs and hammers were clean.....

[naturewoodfb]

i dont understand why to press dislike.

[naturewoodfb]

i dont understand why the press dislike.

[indiecoolbeans]

I KNOW YOUR NIECE SARAH. okay, bye.

[nmurf93]

Dude, that was epic. I love how through the whole thing you were just like *serious face cause I am that awesome*

[ultradian7]

@nmurf93 Haha. Yeah I get kinda lost in it. Just try not to make weird embarrassing facial expressions. LOL

[nmurf93]

@ultradian7 rofl I make funny faces when I play just to be funny :) Covers up my level of fail at this point >> haven't been playing that long

[FatFred2U]

@79mountainview Dude, Chuck Norris plays this solo on a guitar with no pick-ups. And no strings. And no amp. And it sounds meaner and louder than the original.

[ultradian7]

@FatFred2U Oh yeah, Bruce Lee taught the art of "Fighting without fighting," so I'm pretty sure Chuck could "play without playing!"

[youlossy]

i really liked this, ur guitar playing is flawless, beautifully clean! rekon u could play this without looking at the fretboard like me :-) use to only play for about 3 yrs from 15-18 . done this song and got ova guitar although 9yrs later im interested again. hence the whereabouts i am. i enjoyd ur good

[clawpk3r2]

your skills are fucking godly man i i have a spider III 75 watt with a Laguna G45 with sustanic pickup. ive been playing for 2 years and i can play pretty good. i woulkd want to have a face off with you that would be awesome :)

[KMX01888]

32 people accidentally hit the dislike button, or just don't know anything about good guitar playing.

[romperstompist]

dude you are fucking amazing!  I just started playing guitar about 4 months ago and DAMN! I think i need a new hobby lol cuz that was just way too amazing. something i doubt i can achieve lol. How long have u been playing?

[ultradian7]

@romperstompist  Since age 4. Long time bro!

[ztarrfect]

@ultradian7 age 4 omg thats early

[kakkashin]

@ultradian7 Gotta love that shit man. Promise me you will keep on doing these kickfucking ass covers

[ultradian7]

@kakkashin Yes, I'm working on Vai's Tender Surrender now!

[klazzy26]

[ztarrfect]

@romperstompist just keep practicing its loads of fun even when half as good

[Wiltonibanez]

[ultradian7]

@Wiltonibanez Digitech RP 2000 Peavey 65 watt amp circa 1985.

[dor14sp]

IBANEZ PGM <3

[MaximumMetal123]

I love this guitar and sound

[ComfortablyMuffin]

Dude, you played that clean ass nun vag. Nice!

[hotcanadiandude]

cool

[1JAT1]

what youtube video lessons did you use? cause although this isnt 100% note for note, it is my favorite version on youtube. (p.s. nice guitar, it looks like the one paul gilbert uses...?)

[ultradian7]

@1JAT1 Transcribed myself. There is no transcription I've heard yet note for note.

[777colin]

@ultradian7 i think the guitar pro tab is the closest

[MrCherryKush]

@1JAT1 Note for Note. Whats the point? If you don't have confidence in yoursel to play something without it being note for note... there's something wrong.... Plus. Eddie has always liked improvisation.

[1JAT1]

@MrCherryKush i agree. notice i said its still my favorite version on youtube

[M16second]

BEAST

[QueenFelipe]

Very n' Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyy Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Perfect...

Congratulations and Goodbye....

[Jont93]

this dude playes it sooo baaaadass

[Gam3Junkie7]

My friend Chris can play this too! It's just as awesome seeing you play it.

[takeru2san]

i'm afraid about that van halen had a bad guitar and not something like that ^^

[MusiClymax]

Your guitar sounds Awesome !

[applezband]

Nice Job on Eruption ultradian7... Inspired me to post a version.. I don't have a guitar with a whammy bar.. so I had to use the tuning keys. Check it out if you get a chance.. Rock On!!

[ultradian7]

@applezband Loved your version. Thanks for sharing!

[Mistergame0AVI]

I can play the part of 1:01 to 1:29

Any suggestions for the intro? I can't continue when you start 0:07... and I can restart to play at 0:31... to 0:48

[ultradian7]

@Mistergame0AVI There's some guys on here that give instruction how to play it correctly. Good luck!

[Mistergame0AVI]

@ultradian7 Thanks :3

[lgcmetallica]

all i can say is bravo

[Dolphin5632]

that awesome!

[TheJoulupukki97]

It was PERFECT until the tapping part where u made few little "annoying" mistakes but otherwise perfect and well learned cover :))

[cherrysg1]

dude wtf! sickkkkk great work keep it up and pestilenes is a homo probably cant even play guitar

[freeruningparkourart]

that guitar is awsome



[friskyisfat]

holy tone

[FallOfMind]

Whether it doesnt sound perfect or not, i STILL cant play that shit, and I applaud you on your hard work and effort.

[MHarrison84]

wow that was crazy. I love eruption and your cover was right on. Well played man. Well played.

[JoeyThaJew]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ironman4life89]

VERY good video man, you played it extremely well and I can tell you spent alot of time on this song to have it match the real thing and let me tell you it was not time wasted! Also I loved your sound, I'm working just with an RP355 pedal and I would love to get a sound closer to this for my cover of Eruption. I'm still refining my version of Eruption but I'd be really satisfied once I get it as close as you do.

Keep up the good work!

[ptschafer]

Well you were a half note off in a few transitions, and you had some accidental pinches in there I think... but shit, you did it a lot better than I can, and better than most of the punks that leave comments on here, so congrats man, I give thumbs up to you. Looking forward to more vids.

[LilLine5]

very good but i thought the phasing was a little too heavy. :)

[tiddyd]

woah thats insane!

best cover ive seen

and nice PG ;)

[Pavulan4ik]

nice one...I can only do the taping solo,I haven't even tried to learn the full song it's just I like that taping solo sooo much!

[MrRockandRoll626]

how long did it take you to learn that

[ultradian7]

@MrRockandRoll626 it takes probably 5 years of playing experience and several months of practice. I learned this 20 years ago and did a study of it a couple years ago before recording this.

[pestilenes]

@ultradian7 wow dude it took me 5 hours to learn it granit you played it very clearly it doesnt take 20 years to learn a peice that was improvise within 10 minuets

[ultradian7]

@pestilenes I didn't say it took 20 years! I'm sure you could learn the notes in 5 hours. Playing the song fluently so it sounds correct is another story. I'm transcribing "Tender Surrender" by Steve Vai now and it will take a couple months to practice and play correctly. I look forward to seeing your version of "Eruption" on youtube!!

[lilgaything]

@ultradian7 lol pestilenes, u got pwnt haha

[bloodydogfang]

@pestilenes if you read what he said better it said he learned this 20 years ago

[pestilenes]

@bloodydogfang now it says nothing so i really cant read it now lol

[andresdapimp69]

looks like you recorded yourself in front of a green screen, cuz ur background looks unreal ahahaha just saying....... 

[CoolKwstas123]

Great playing!! Didnt know Paul Gilberts guitars where with floyd rose

[jgoodwin2013]

Awesome dude, it would be a bit easier to hear with less reverb, but still bad ass

[MrGuitarrica]

Dude you look like that guy in Spider Man 3 the sand guy! =)

[MHarrison84]

@MrGuitarrica yes!!!

[paulmedley]

your face at 1:00 you look like it is soo easy

[TheInvalidChronicles]

damn that guitar is sexy :D :D love it 

[SixStringManiac11]

[2010speedfreak]
