Van Halen- Panama (Rckrdude Cover)

[Architect1914]

sounds like buckethead song :P

[BGDD27]

i have an eg112 just like that. but mine broke, the input jack snapped from the wires. this is the 2nd time to but this time wasn't an accident. first time i just left the patch in and the guitar fell over and broke cost $30 to fix. this time i looked inside and they weren't torn they were cut with wire cutters, i can tell. and since i just moved to a new city i have no idea were the nearest music store is, so im gonna buy a soldering iron and put it back me self.

really kick ass cover with the backing track, gives better representation of your guitar skills if you were actually playing with a live drummer

[projector7676]

nice work,but from 0:38 guitar is out of tune and it is hard to listen.Next time use better guitar with decent trem system;)

[alexsviridenko]

Гитара расстроеная, а так прикольно сыграно.

[Fidlerdude]

the Jamziba Trio attempted this awesome song, love your tone man. Great work!

[shreddmyassof]

wow kick as sound

[WezBolton]

holy shit you're good!!

[ApparitionZ]

Good work!

[Huqe]

Got that eg112 for a cheap price, so i'm just curious that did you do something to your guitar, like put your strings higher, adjust something or something like that to get to play songs like that with it. I mean, it's not the best guitar there is :D

[rckrdude07]

haha yea but the guitar was just stock. For strings, I used 9' ernie ball slinkys. Also I lowered the tension a little bit to make it easier to play. Its really not a bad guitar though except for the two single coil pickups which are noisy as hell (the humbucker is good though and is the only one I use) and next to no sustain.

[ScrapGoldBass]

NICE JOB Also love the sound of your gear

[Rennanxp2]

that song is prety nice

[a7xrox8]

[rckrdude07]

Thanks =)

[liuzhenhua20]

Nice work~!

I think you would have a better work if you have a Steinberger guitar~! 8-)

[citjcj]

Rckrdude...First of all, kudos on your playing. I'm 51, and I have rheumatoid arthritis...but I promised myself that I would learn to play before this bitch of a disease kills me. I have the same guitar, I put Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinky's on it to make it easier on my fingers. I'm picking with Fender mediums and scored an String Master Robotic tuner...you have inspired me to continue. I do a music show on Ubroadcast...perhaps I can have you co-host with me sometime...keep up the great play'n!

[rckrdude07]

WoW thanks man. Inspiring someone with my videos means a lot to me. Great to hear ur keeping at it regardless of your physical condition. That's a good beginner's guitar and it seems ur well on your to playing. Hit me up if u need some help with playing or the Ubroadcast thing. I'd be glad to work with you.

[High5150Roller]

I almost thought you were my father from what you said. My dad is 51 and recently bought a red Schecter bass guitar thinking he would try it out. He hasn't gotten anywhere with his idea but anyways, i just thought it was weird how much you sound like my father. Good luck though with learning to play guitar and good luck with your physical being. Cheers, man

[NYlover2000]

awesome i notest a little diffrence from origanal but its great i love van halen

[rckrdude07]

U have a good ear, VH kicks ass!

[ironwang5150]

nice man

[Thangur]

nice one!

I want to buy the yamaha eg 112. Is this guitar really so bad, as everybody told me?

[rckrdude07]

Thanks! and lol yea its bad. I just try to make the best use of it for the time being but u can find much better guitars at the price range

[perowski20]

nice

[randy0987]

nice playing bro!

[rckrdude07]

Thanks mate

[Doctortattoo]

cool play 5 stars 4 u

[rckrdude07]

thanks dude

[azjumbo]

In my opninion a stunning performance! Not really the van halen tone, but you played greatly!

How long have you been playin for those levels? ;)

[rckrdude07]

yea VH tone is incredibly hard to nail lol. But thanks for the kind words man. I've been playing for nearly 3 years now =)

[hudsonhere]

good job work on the tuning to make the sounds with the guitar the same way as they tune it. im not sayin ur bad ur amazing !

[rckrdude07]

I think you mean work on the tone but I hear ya man. Thanks =)

[AdjakProductions]

he greatjob! how can i make my lp sound like this? what settings/pedals did u use?

[rckrdude07]

I used a line 6 toneport to get the amp models and the effects. The guitar is a cheap yamaha so I'm sure ur Les Paul can sound much better than it lol. If u own a toneport and want the settings, just ask. Thanks for watching =)

[culois]

stacchi troppo diobono..gli armonici..?

[rckrdude07]

english please

[bleedingfly]

Nice one bro'. 5**. \m/

[rckrdude07]

That coming from someone as talented as you is awesome. Thanks man!

[PVS1]

excellent job!

[VHfan4life24]

About as close as you'll get to the real sound without having eddie literally playing it right in front of you. Great cover. Love the song choice.

[rckrdude07]

VHfan4life24: wow Thanks a lot man. Eddie is THE MAN!

[metic56]

nice cover.i wish i could get that nice tone like you do. my band might post a video of this if the other members agree to retry making it. cuz we already tried once and we messed up in every single take....and i dont want to put up a bad video.....really great playing though

[rckrdude07]

That coming from another musician is greatly appreciated. Thanks man. Its easier to get good tone when recording by urself than when your playing with a band. If u like classic rock, u should check out the VOX tonelab effects processor. Its great live. Also its much easier to play with a backing track than a band haha. Keep at it! I'm looking forward to watch ur vid :)

[metic56]

yeah since we dont have a drummer....we will also be playing with a backing track...hahahaha but we are desperately searching for a drummer. we arent even an entire band yet....and how do you use an effects processor live? cuz i thought they only worked when recording....

[rckrdude07]

yea drummers are always in short supply lol U can use effect processors live. Just connect your guitar into the input port in the processor and the amp to the output. google VOX tonelab. Its simply incredible

[lespaulplayer1234512]

ha thats wat i use i stilll havent figured it out yet lol, theres alo of stuff on it, i bought it used so it didnt come with a manual do u know where i can get 1

[rckrdude07]

You can find the tonelab's manual here-

[lespaulplayer1234512]

thanx

[vanhalen4life32]

awesome cover! rckerdude haha my band is about to put a cover up too! except the guitarist is being a bitch but good job anyway!!

[rckrdude07]

Thanks man. U guys are very talented. You'll all get it done soon. Metic is a great guitarist. Go easy on him haha

[rckrchick07]

one word.. amazing!

wow.... ur awesome :O hehe im jealous of ur guitar skills! and doesnt that hurt ur fingers when u rub the strings like that? haha nice job!

[rckrdude07]

one word... Thanks!

I'm jealous of ur guitar hero skills :) And those are called pick slides. I dont touch the strings with my fingers. I just hold the pick a certain way and slide it on the string. Just one of those flashy Eddie Van Halen techniques haha

[Game131213]

bro u got amazing talent, like wow man working that guiatar like theres no torw.. really good, I cant believe that ur not signed by some rock star. lol Despite ur u noe undecent style of dressing its really good

[rckrdude07]

Shekhar I didnt know u were in the fashion police haha :D But thanks man. i really do appreciate ur kind words

[PookLowEnd]

YEAH! I hate the 80's, but for some reason I love this song. XD Well done!

[rckrdude07]

Pook how can u not love the 80's? lol Thanks for watching man

[PookLowEnd]

I lived through them and learned to hate them XD

[rckrdude07]

ahahaha I cant argue with that can I?

[applebees09]

Brother in rock you are bro. EVH would be proud of you. Your a very talented guitarist Tony and I don't think I need to remind you of that :D Thanks for everything man

[rckrdude07]

No thank you :)
