[VideoGameSpeed]

You should've put in the "Alright, that's enough of that nonsense" into that! But other than that, I applaud you, this song is way too hard.

[Br34kStUfF08]

OMFG!!! Hahaha Dude!! You must be one of the finest guitar player round' the world! Nice job! (Y)

[saydlowski]

Dude -- you just nailed it!!!  wow!! Marvelous!!

[MarsZavala]

That was so ridiculously amazing! How long did it take to learn all that? And how long have you been playing? I am dumbfounded.

Man, you are awesome! This is one of Vai's most difficult songs to learn, and you have it down PAT!!!!

[GiuliaBernardHerself]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooow you're a talent

[alexpalka23]

Damn man. Just... damn.

You play about as vai himself.

If you can write some of your own original pieces, you really could be great.

[unroyalmetalbrigade1]

was that eruption i heard in the solo at the end? overall great cover!

[Kevin2rox]

SIMPLY AMAZING! WOW THATS AWESOME!

[hardyzawodnik]

[menelson8]

woooooooow

[calogeiro]

Awesome man! You are a very pro guitar player! thanks for posting this video!

[sammywombarra]

this is a great cover

the only way this could be as good as the original is if you were steve vai... and thats not going to happen

[Yakushii]

That's frickin awesome. If there was one thing I had to put down, it would be the vibratos, but other than that, it was fucking great!

[lolharbandhar]

Jesus man - this blew my mind!

[ernieball3645]

[JEDSaje15]

[lubricator2000]

[salanhamer18]

hola heres muy buena pasate por mi canal y aber que opinas de mis videos

[bratwurstsalad]

Ah! I wanted to see if you could pull off those wicked sweeps at the end. There's probably only about a couple dozen people on the planet that could pull those off though. Nice work anyway!

[cyberflea07]

if it's mixolydian and dominant phrygian it means that my ear is improoving.Good playing man,all those fingertwisting glissandos are enough to drive you crazy.where did you get the backing track?

[sXeSnowmansXe]

The only words I can find for this...

Holy fuck!

[satchwayne]

Great job man! You sound just like Vai! Very well done!!

[pistache7]

Bravo!

[lucbatera23]

Holy Shit!you are the second Steve Vai man!!!!

[bigstrings]

[satchrach]

Awesome job! Dont listen to those nasty comments, they're just jealous :)

[shadowmanjack]

Awesome cover of a very complicated Vai song.

[mpolemiko]

wn te sale muy bien, yo voi a empezar ahora a sakarmela pero la veo dificil al principio parece. te felicito wn ;)

sigue asi

[Dehimone]

fuking pro m8

[GHOSTVAL]

Yeah its difficult but you could post it after you could play perfectly though.

[SteVeTurchin22]

Wicked job Alejandro! You really rocked this one out! Very hard song indeed. 5/5

[fenderbender92]

I don't care if you or 100 other people think he sucks, I don't care what SHREDEDUCATIONAL says,I don't care what mrhug3 says. You're great and so was this cover.

[mrHUG3]

am I the only one who thinks this sucks?  poor tone, poor intonation, poor sounding, and for the majority of it he only approximated the notes actually played in the piece.

clapton could have done it better

[toxicity28]

hey

i have a question

where is your video?

[cococaster]

que fenomeno este tipo!!! sos un groso loco que sonido de la ostia tenes macho un 11!!!! buenisimo!!! felicitaciones de argentina

[aldobeltran]

wow..

very nicely done. awesome tone

[mclovin850]

wow!! thats awesome!! so natural!!! keep it up bro!!

[IbanezRG2020X]

wooow xd Me siento orgulloso de ser chileno *

[andrew15max]

oh my god.

you are amazing.

no words.

[SHREDUCATIONAL]

you're a faggot with that rip off of Eruption. I had high hopes for that sweep part. But then you fucked with me. I'm so internets pissed right now goddammit.

sike it was good overall. I was peeved by that eruption part tho

[el10leo]

You absolutely rock man, but let me ask you this:

Why the fuck did you put that soooo lame Van Halen's solo in the earth-fucking-breaking best part of the goddamn song!?!?!?!?!?!?

You fucking screw it up.

[videossmellbad]

good job man. this song is kinda weird tryin 2 figure out. nice

[drawnacrol]

Wow that was amazing,incredible techinqiue

[utrox1001]

i fuckin love you

[AlexxVai]

do you have the tabs for the solo at 5:49?

[Vaikinglee]

you should be added to vai's profile favorites. great job buddy!

[SoySauceInAShotGlass]

Great job! The only thing keeping you from virtuoso is your vibrato, in my honest opinion. Master that, and you'll be unstoppable :)

4/5

[Luke650]

You should made a own record man.

[petiethepitt]

Hey man you are an amazing guitar player,,I would realy realy like to see you do some of your own stuff.Please post some origional stuff of your own,,realy would be looking foward to that...god bless and thanx for the insperation you give me personaly,,,,Jesse....

[AlejandroRegal]

thank you a lot for your comment, but I just play as a hobby

[Herfer]

crazy good, 5 star all the way

[BuddhaPrime]

Better cover I saw, you're not steve vai but for the effort 5 stars!

[coreymilne]

Oh My God! = O You Are Endlessly Talented Man!! They Should Make You President = D

[toothbrush3996]

...that video is made of win. (collapses out of sheer amazement)

[donkingmamac]

ur good ... but hehehe .... the most exciting part there is the sweep picking... u almost got me.. 4/5

[agm2004]

nice Ibanez rg 7 there man, sounds nice. I need to get me a nicer guitar.

[napalmmice]

How long did this take you to learn? This is by far the best cover of Freak Show Excess I've seen. 5/5

-Napalm Mice

[sgtsnakepit]

im totally impressed, the main solo bit i think sounded slightly like mighty morphing power rangers into song lol.

ROCK ON!

[breakoutdegree]

oh and to anyone interested, i'm in the process of writing a guitar pro tab of freak show excess from the tab book, should be done in 2 weeks or so, if you want it, please send me a message and ill give you a link....should be uploading it to the main tab sites too :)

btw, it'll be a guitar 1 through 6 tab, no bass, drums, or keys :) sorry.

[agm2004]

im betting its probably off on timing and stuff. Usually those books are written to give the actual idea.

[breakoutdegree]

i was impressed with your playing outright, but i just got the real illusions: reflections tab book, and i'm considerably more impressed by your abilities now! i'm about 2 minutes through the song and it's taken 2 weeks to get this far...it's sooo fucking hard, the hardest vai song i've ever cme across, boston rain melody, windows to the soul, hand on heart are sooo easy in relation! anyway well done on this! it's amazing! i hope within a month or 2 i can pull this off :D

[Moerakski]

Awesome ...U rock!

[StickyMan3000]

Eh...he's pretty good...I guess.

[SuperClint]

That was really nice but you fucked it up when you added in the tapping section from eruption in.

hah.

[alejandro3561]

awesome  your'e very good.....

[damdream]

nice playing dude! the tone its really good

[rekar1]

Great playing!

[djteac]

That was so freaking amazing.

I hope someday i can do that too.

Btw: I see you got a whammy, is that thing useable when playing chords or only for singlenotes?

I'm thinking about buying one myself, but that stupid guys at the shop don't know anything if you ask them.... lol

[Sollesnes]

Sure it's usable.

[djteac]

So its Polyphone like an BOSS:OC-3, or does it start wo "wobble" like the OC-2 did ?

[jonnysinfin]

thats amazin dude...i wouldn't know where to begin learning this one!

[jonnysinfin]

thats amazin dude...i wouldn't know where to begin learning this one!

[Jscuzza]

Steve Vai can sure as hell play this. I saw him live last October and this was on the setlist. He didn't make a mistake either! Good rendition, I like it!

[jmp1jmp1]

the tone sucks, multifx dist sucks.

i always say the same, why why put this on youtube.

[djteac]

Jealous ?

[Luke650]

Yes.

[aero3132]

i think Steve could play it all the way if he took the time. unlike us fans, he doesn't sit around trying to learn his own songs hoping he'll hear himself on youtube >_>

[987vivian06]

NICE!! 5 stars :)

[shishigamii]

that was awewsome!

but wait....was that a bit of eruption in the tapping towards the end??

[djteac]

Most tapping stuff tend to sound like eruption.

Because the typical Van Halen Triplet ist not that special.

Its an often (even before eddie) used pattern.

[rAdLeONi]

of course hes going to write something he cant play!

[MikhasStyle]

great job buddy

[kurama14890]

Amazing!

[mpnickisher]

Great job dude!

This song is very intense.

I'm not sure even Steve himself can play it ;)

[SnareDaniel]

fail.

[SLAiNTRAX]

"I'm not sure even Steve himself can play it ;)"

haha made my day

[Psychotronx1]

well we cant be sure that vai can play it until we see video "Steve vai attempting at Steve Vai's song Freak show excess"LOL

[sciulli27]

thats amazing cause that songs is hardest vai songs to play cause of the fingering just amazing

[Carnoldious]

Kick ass man! That is one of the hardest songs in existence and you nailed it!!I usually don't comment but i couldn't help it.5 stars

[Eclipse4449]

Whoosh and he scores, a 5th star from me!!

[ilackedtheheart]

I know you worked this out by ear but I was wondering if you transcribed any of this? This is great stuff, keep up your awesome shredding :)

[BorgAngel]

Fucking hell that was soooo sweet. man u made my day, thanks :)

PS: POST MORE, MANY MORE!

[totalguitar89]

this was amazing man, you have the sweetest tone ever

[ieatfords4breakfast]

im very impressed, nice work man

[ewhguitarist]

Was this worked out by ear?

[AlejandroRegal]

YEAH, just BY EAR,and I used the actual song as a backing track

[ewhguitarist]

That makes it even more impressive then! I work my songs out by ear because I develop more as a musician i think. Congrats!

[sciulli27]

how long did it take to learn and get down

[djteac]

Dude if thats true, then its amazing.

I tryed to get it by ear, i simply can't....

But theres no think that would make me beliefe you are lying. So, respect :)

[tam705618]

You put a smile on my face, nicely done

[b0btheball]

[GuitarMaxi]
