[ramistv]

Lefty guitarists rock!

[frabelde]

Hey man..really a good one! You have got the sound of Eddie in an almost perfect way!!!

[XXL1966]

great job! one of the best on youtube.

[shiramo]

proly one of the best versions of this solo I have seen on youtube...great job, your harmonics seemed spot on!

[hoiikbenbert]

great sound!

[aaronharrison93]

how did you learn this solo

[rockGA12]

good :) What pedal you use?

[Ludovikque]

a MD2 Boss i believe... the orange one

[cambigfoot88]

my friend has that one they are good ones

[fernandodelc]

it sounds pretty clean actually, the second tapped harmonic sounds very good and that's a tricky one, the stretch pentatonics, the tapping and the whammy bar... congratulations it sounds very good (sorry for bad english)

[binlobin]

this was better than your other one, i think.

[jeyDp]

i like this thumbs and big toes up

[bleedingvenom]

i think u performed it better with ur yellow guitar

[ckyman354]

i write with my left and and play with my right hand ...lol and your good way better then me ! haha

[mitch31300]

Hello Ludo, merci pour ton com', ta version est plutot bonne , les harmos artificielle sonnent terribles, dommage que tu ne soit pas servi par un meilleur son, ceci dit, c'est hyper bien taquiner, bravo !!

[MorRomio]

Hey, whats that vibrato on some of the el guitar models called.

The one that viabrates all the strings?

[ISOWHAT2]

[Seriouscritic121]

[Coyote10988]

hey dude how do you tap harmonic. can u tell me exactly how ur supposed 2 hit the string?

[Ludovikque]

you put you left hand on the 7 fret and you tap on the 14th with your right one. the second i tapped on the 14th fret with the left hand on the 9th one. ;) hope i'm clear in my explanation. don't look at my hands i'm lefty..

[Coyote10988]

k thx man

[Rcjc1984]

Don't see many left-handed guitarists i'm impressed well done mate!

[dennisklitgaard]

How about to put out a video for users, here at youtube that wants to learn to play the beat it solo???

[Ludovikque]

uh ??? what ?

[dennisklitgaard]

Okay, you're confused. It's because I would like to learn the "beat it solo", but it is hard to find a guitar lesson for it anywhere. So maybe you would like to do a lesson here on youtube, put a guitar lesson out on youtube, how to play beat it solo....you follow:o))???

[Ludovikque]

yeah yeah lol, sorry, that's just the english's not my mother's language... So Yeah, i could do a lesson, but just do the solo on a less quick tempo, because i can't explain all the thing by voice xD my accent would be ridiculous. I'll try if you want to do it very slowly, and you'll see my fingers well. Cya

[dennisklitgaard]

hey again. Okay, which country are you from. I am from Denmark, Europe. That would be so great if you would do so. To do the solo in a very slowly process. And place the fingers in a position so that it will be easy for me to see what you are doing on the frets. Thank you so much, It is very kind of you. I am very interested in learning the solo, but my skills on guitar is not half of yours!!! YOU JUST KICK ASS on that solo!

[Ludovikque]

it's coming soon !

in a week exactly, 'cause i've exams these weeks.

[Ludovikque]

it's coming soon ! i've exams this week, but this will be over soon

[dennisklitgaard]

Hey Lud:o)) Thanx, that would be great, this way I can practice it, you are my hope to learning the beat it solo...thanx a lot...

[Hallsty]

What amp do u use? i like ur tone, ive tried to get the same sort of tone out of my american strat but i just cant see how?

[Ludovikque]

i used at time a Boss MD2 mega disto distortion pedal, and i used a Peavey Classic 30 in amp. don't put the distortion too heavy, you have to get a hard rock distortion, not a metal distortion. For the settings, i don't remember sorry

[tomsg1]

This is a tough solo to play, and Im pretty impressed with this, its got everything it needs, And I know how tough it is getting that last note with a 21 fret guitar!. You worked well with your guitar and the sound that you had, props man!.

[gimmick65]

GOOD

[jblue2000]

Man I gotta love those Stretch pentatonic things. It's so freakin' hard to execute..

Handns Down Dude! You're great!

[Ludovikque]

yeah, van halen did it ! he's really the man. I love these stretch too. Do you know "Ice cream man" ? Van Halen does a solo with a stretch pentatonic lick, it rocks a lot !!

[tonymakarony81]

hehe cool :-)

[timmythetard420]

wow man is all i can say how long u been playin can u do the entire beat it song i'd like to hear it

[Ludovikque]

yeah, but i'm not very fan of the rest of the song.. the rythm part is not difficult.

[acoustic2rock]

nuckols44 It is eddie van halen who plays it with mj. It says so in the thriller book so it is eddie

[OleFredrik]

Awesome. Good played

[nuckols44]

first of all its slash that does the solo not eddie van halen and nice

[Ludovikque]

ahah ? do you think it is slash's way of playin' ?

he never did one tapping in his solos..

explain a little... where did you saw that it was slash the author ?

[DaVidbLaiNe444]

first of all u a fuken idiot. second its eddie van halen that played the solo in the origional song.

[JakeELee]

yeah asshole

[gr1mr34p0r]

Equipement dude?

[Ludovikque]

US stratocaster fender + vox valvetronix 30W + boss MD2 pedal. Actually now i've got a peavey amp and a tonelab SE, so the soudn should be better, i just have to do another video...

[gr1mr34p0r]

Nice dude, I got a lefty mexican with a dimarzio dp100, check out my vid(s)

[skull7878]

not bad man!

the other video has a better tone though... well thats what i think :P

[barbariouslespaul]

good tapping but ive seen better

[victorrosan]

perfect artificial harmonics!! it s hard to play it!

[pengers11]

Kin' Awesome!!

[acdcfan8]

sounds countryish?

[Ludovikque]

i didn't understand (not english sorry)

[dpgassau1t]

how the hell is this countryish.. dont say anything if you dont know anything

[20stewfan]

Awesome!! Yours is the best by far compared to everyone else. Its on my favorites list.

[thechopup08]

jesus freaking christ

[svidrigajlov]

GOOD

[5t3Maiden]

I have to give this 5 stars, really well played dude keep it up. it's a pretty complex solo and u nailed it :D

[nerdheadbanger]

it's so odd how some kickass solos can be in pop songs xD

awesome job man , double hand tapping was perfect!

[andynkellas]

holy shit!!

[dayjantus]

I though for a leftie you would fail miserably and children would run around outside your house mocking you for a failed attempt at a covered solo.. mate you were amazing! Truely stunning.. nice one!

[Kekibec]

Great job!!!best one i've ever seen

[darameng808]

wow i didnt know van halen made a solo for beat it.

[Ludovikque]

[KuschDieWaldfee]

[pittsburghfool]

[fuzzie88]
