Next Eddie Van Halen

[Dethcollectors]

Dime a dozen.

[ASquared007]

Honestly... I felt kind of lost trying to listen to this. Throw in some chords to give your audience something to reference... What key was this in? C? I couldn't even tell. It almost sounded as if you took one riff and went up and down the neck using the root of every progression as a descending Ionian scale. I'm not trolling, just being honest.

[Lundvalnaden]

ron weasly on the guitar, then twins weasly on the stage

[subatomiccongruency]

is your name eddie van halen or do you plan on changing it?

[breadfan87]

good thing you mentioned you got a haircut, thats all I was concerned about.

[ICEDReFLexEz2]

Mix of van halen and dave mustaine!

[kwantoon]

Lets just hope he doesn't develope a nasty addiction to meth and alcohol along with a shitty pretentious.attitude. Oh yeah, Eddie sucks.

[smutbroker]

... That being said, for your age and experience, I think you have a really good ear for blending influences- which will eventually lead to a "style" and "licks" that are truly yours. You also have a good ear for "tone", and your meter is quite good. Keep it up, and ignore the haters.

[smutbroker]

First the critique: You didn't "write" ANY of this- you started with three note sequences that were directly ripped from classic Gary Moore and Nuno patterns - followed by tapping riffs lifted from Jeff Watson- and a hybrid of "Spanish Fly", then topped off with a motif lifted from Dimebag's old guitar solo he did back in the mid 80's- which he jacked from Akira Takasaki from Loudness. End of slight bashing...

[CLARINCORNETASAXOFON]

you are the next retarded alive

[bronk5150]

Long way to go to say something like that. Keep practicing

[TheAvailable43]

Its red head, Dave Mustaine and looks through badfinger's Pete hamm...he has talent...hopefully he won't be spewing speeches, just solos!

[rychen1]

Awesome job!! Funny all the haters only wish they could do what you can do!

[Chandler21Beatles]

He paid those kids to come make him look like a god...... which he isn't

[Chandler21Beatles]

Not even close to Eddie Van Halen and don't leave me a comment saying "Dude you suck this kids good" I don't care if this kid is so full of himself to name the title after one of the guitar LEGENDS I need to bring him down a bit to " You will be the next Michael Jackson"

[dudeandmude]

but its good

[dudeandmude]

he wont get famous with this 

[TheSkinbyrd88]

eddie dont have shhit on this kid more like the next rusty cooley

[mta415]

kick ass kid!!! F@CK the naysayers, haters and disbelievers!!!! I bet most of them don't even own a guitar...

[BradDayToYou]

all killer no filler

[mrgamesalot2]

wow, you learned what someone else made up...

[noname31000]

made my nipples hard

[kuyaphil]

awesome!.. EVH inspired. keep rockin! \m/

[01artist]

This is good but he is no Eddie. As Eddie was doing this stuff back in the 70's. Now don't get me wrong it sounds great but to be the next Eddie you have to do something is as good but also ground breaking. This kid may have come up with this solo but it sounds like the same stuff Eddie was doing back in the 70's-80's

[clintjames79]

thus some gay ass guitar playing. no skill whats so ever

[hobojoe19967]

@clintjames79 why dont you pick up a guitar and see how much skill this kid's got. this might be relatively easy, but it still sounds amazing.

[mdskewes]

@clintjames79 lets see u play fat ass.

[GameMafias]

This is awesome.

[hjkentproductions]

Reminds me of some of the stuff dimebag would play when the rest of pantera would be backstage drinking halftime. Good job dude!

[kernowrock555]

bitchy little boys SHUT UP he's F***kin good and you 'know it'!...

[rockandroll4life2001]

eddie doesnt use les pauls

[SpAzZ3870]

Bro U Kick Ass

[lkoury]

Lots of notes, yet no music.

[SpiritsAndPhantoms]

You play very well but need to be more humble. Calling yourself "the next Eddie Van Halen" just makes you come of as a douche. And the two dorks doing the finger thing was really lame and embarrassing.

[JackieDee5150]

I second that SuperBspb

[MrGaburato]

WITH THIS GUITAR IS EASY ;) KKKKKKKKKKKKK

[SuperBspb]

Wow, it's pretty self-centered to call yourself the next Van Halen.

[jbankens5150]

I agree with SuperBspb when you write hits like Ed, invent new style, and bring forth techniques rarely used, then you may have a magazine and legions of fans call you that. Until then, it's unwise to call yourself that.

[MrBrennanCreeper]

@SuperBspb Fine then, Ill call hin the next van halen. Quit your bitchin, itts only a video.

[SuperBspb]

@MrBrennanCreeper Well, he has a lot to do yet to be the next Van Halen.

[zazen108]

This kid has practiced his heart out and he is obviously very talented, would it be too much to ask for a melody?

[Ricco5thhorseman]

awesome! GREAT respect!

you rock pal! \,,/

[K0sm1cKid]

There's already enough amazing guitarists out there. We need more Tom Morello type guitarists or we'll just be overtaken completely by electronica :P

[loshildickos]

My I introduce to you Eddie Via Malmsteen Gilmore Mc Rocker....... Good job. Wonder when we will see you in the main stream?

[howIronicle]

well there will never be another eddie vanhalen but this is amazing and if you keep it up then 1 day years and years to come you will be looked at as 1 of the best. nice solo its amazing how you are so creative keep it up man you got the stuff

[travelinblues89]

Reminds me of myself when I first started learning guitar and tapping...I thought fast playing was talent and then realized that talent isn't about speed, it's about hitting the right notes and conveying the emotion you want the audience to feel.

[UnknownSect333]

@travelinblues89 Indeed. But sometimes speed conveys the emotion...

[jillianrox098]

niceeee!

[Maayl]

i liked it anyway

[wesjoe311]

Ummm....Dimebag was the next EVH. Then, he surpassed him and became THE IDOL! This kid is great, but the next EVH? Meh...

[GearHeadFisher]

you sir made that guitar your beotch

[Hunkola]

EVH was an innovator genius ---- this kid is a boring copy machine

[Nevigo]

Maybe its a little dramatic to call this the new EVH.Besides from that,tapping was very exciting,but it was first in the 80s and CAN be a good little spice (very short,and NOT EVH typical arps)),but besides from that,rock guitar today has evolved so much.There are players outthere that play so fast and clean,some think its a trick.But practice practice,and try to be innovative buddy.It pays of.

[Stratfan68]

boring. an insult to evh.

[MrN30N1X]

Ron Weasley band?

[italiansrock101]

If you label yourself the next EVH, then you're not the next EVH.

[ih4ters]

Why did you cut your hair?:(

That's very sad.

[zombee38]

Eddie VH could play this and more while jumping, smoking and on top of that was drunk ! (wink)

Anyways good skills !

[halluci444]

Epic tapping bro. I'm tryna learn ur song. Hard as fuck. 10/10 bro

[SirWilliamthePoop]

Damn

[rjashcraft]

seriously - should have kept the hair.. Dude, seriously, very very good solo. I am geeked for you sir.. you got a great future in music. Rock On Bro!!

[hickrystyk]

Why did you get your hair cut??? I am worried...

[MOPARGEORGE]

Very good my friend! I'm 48, have seen every musician from Aerosmith to Venom. You have great talent, make it your own. Pick a good band to be in, or start your own. You will be the star. Don't copy anyone or compare yourself to anyone. Be yourself and maybe I will see you on stage some day. All the haters are just jealous. Trust me.

[azkeyz]

I'm attempting to provoke you edward , I know you still have something inside to give me

make me love you again

I'm attempting to provoke the new sober edward van halen into producing another killer solo

It would be wrong of me to just let it die.

[azkeyz]

I just slammed edward van halen , I must have been fuckin psychotic

the truth is eddie , I'm angery with you that you are now lower down on the pole than buckethead.

I want you back eddie , show me you are still alive , play me something worth it.

[azkeyz]

edward , if you get killed all the sudden , I will feel real bad about what I just said

it's just that I have to be honest with myself that buckethead is the better guitarist.

as for character , I have yet to make and final determinations.

forgive me eddie , I don't ever want you in the trash.

[azkeyz]

it's garbage , I was hopeful

look , today we don't honor eddie , today we shove eddie in the trash where he belongs for failure to put on the buckethead mask.

eddie is just a california boy who had some money

that kind of thing will get you a huge pay cut by a texan

I love you eddie but it's over , unless you can defeat buckethead or proove to me you would be willing to join with him.

yes he is better than you eddie , WAY better.

[spankula123]

Very awesome. arpeggios in a major chord?? how novel. lol keep rockin.

[RIPRJD2010]

Dude you have lots of talent keep learning all you can about music theory compostion etc. Always learn from the masters before you then take the music into another direction. I rather have young kids like you playing music then getting into drugs drinking and crime. Keep on playing and ignore the haters!

[napachick100]

why can't people be positive, I AM SO SICK OF NEGATIVITY. These kids are just starting out, give alittle positive feedback or don't give any. Maybe you should go back talk to your daddy's that gave you so much positive influence

[computerscreentv96]

so this is what Ron is doing now that harry potter is over

jk that was good playing

[plzBSirius]

You should just be the next "you."

[wldntknow]

Next Van Halen my ass

[lynchesp]

generic

[1glassMilk]

There Will be No Next Eddie... You got it?

[GuitarLord3000]

so um are they brothers? or are they just coincedentally all redhead friends?

[kocnn]

if these kids are this good and hes good, where is the freaking music today it sucks its all bipittyboppin niggers for sure, we need to get these kids out there and dominate, i'll pay to see him, come on

[plankology]

[ranwhite23]

[ranwhite23]

u play any songs?

[blooshotynui]

alright



[MeganGoble98]

where was this?

[MrWonderfulofHimself]

are they tickling his nuts?

[TheFunnysamnoob333]

HOLY SHIT THE STRINGS AGREE WITH MY BRAIN WAVES...

[spmahcuom]

Eddie Van Halen was a genius and open the door ! This guy was a clone only

[BGSoccerMagic]

@spmahcuom he opened the door for others like this guy to go out and explore.

[btofan]

yawn

[Gvk795]

There is one and always be one Eddie Van Halen

[FlightofMartyrs]

@fuckxcharliexsheen but get this, everybody has different taste in music... some people dont like Glam... they like Metal! the Heavy SHIT!...... nut rap can suck my ass.. lol

[TheBoki77777]

Great playing dude

[KUSHAHOLICxX]

@fuckxcharliexsheen lol you fail

[wallybergman21]

He repeats the same shit.. not That hard ginger

[Xxplosive2323]

yeah and im the next michael jordan

[mulefa1]

when he makes the video and calls himself the 'next eddie van halen' it really puts me off

[KUSHAHOLICxX]

@mulefa1 prolly cause youre a douche...#diagnosis given

[2tramic]

wanna be in a metal band ur good

[toast1125]

A lot of gingers in one place...who allowed this?

[RedneckChexMix]

@toast1125 they cant be detected on the "soul"dar.

[ranwhite23]

@toast1125 lol, thats a lot of fire bush

[halluci444]

Would been nice with some phrygian and harmonic minors. Still good tho, girls will still get off to hit haha

[miho132]

just speed, nothing else.

[josealonsoa3]

The Same Arpeggio In All Video

You Scks Dude 

[ThePtdmaster]

2:05 tryin to tickle his balls

[StormRunners420]

somewhere an asian boy laughs at this...

[andrewdimartino12]

are those fat kids trying to give you a handy?

[gghg5]

so wat if its just repetitive triplets, u can pickup chicks with that just fine~~

[anippani]

It was mostly repeating triplets.

[magster65]

That really sounded great man but you probably shouldn't say you're the next Eddie Van Halen... think about it...

[swilson1337]

it's probably not good to self-claim yourself as that good

[largellamanards]

next eddie van halen my ass no one one could replace the legend of eddie

[robotaekwonz]

EVERYbody bashing you is a tuneless talentless assclown. Keep playing kid. To all you haters: go find someone to blow on 4chan you dickless turds.

[wldntknow]

Does your school Have nothing but Gingers?

[DogCatchersBand]

You shouldn't have changed the Prince Valiant haircut!

[TheSpencer97]

have you ever heard of the word barber?

[DRWELSH1971]

well done keep it up,I hear a very big malmsteen influence most of his earlier stuff was appregio based.

[triofact34]

I don't like the name of the song, but other than that good job for an original! I think it's original atleast.. :P

[xVioletxFreakcorex]

that's awesome !! you're really good

[belongtoit]

I could have watched all 407 in the first 15 seconds really. Good stuff , but its all based on the same thing over and over ....

[xHugoAG]

you're the next dave mustaine... look at your hair!

[RokDAWG1]

NICE...the tone isn't that great, BUt that could be because of the place & it's acoustics.

Ignore all the idiots bashing you, if they had something better, they'd already posted it & would have almost 200,000 views of their own.

Keep throwin' it down brotha!!

[SpaceShipRuthie]

Great job, few your age could do what you did here. I've been playing for 42 years, and can tell when someone has ability and has dedicated time to do what you just did. Keep practicing, and you will go far.

[padraysfan]

Apparently he has enough money to get a kick ass guitar but not enough for a hair cut.... hmmm

[MysticAscendence]

thank you kid for not being a mindless robotic shredder.. Sounds fucking great don't let jealous douchebags tell you otherwise cause they're pissed that someone half their age can play twice as good.

[andrewdeangelo1]

that was sick,stop bashing talented kids on youtube.

[OneGoodMojo]

Don't bash the kid, he's good. However, there's a big difference between shredding and actually playing blues or some other different kind of music where speed don't count as much as heart. That's what separate average players from the ones that make it. Just a thought.

[thewilliedude]

@OneGoodMojo if you had speed and not heart you couldnt play that.

[WarmothGuitarist]

Wow... Did that really need to drag on so long?

I see he tried to bust out Eugene's trick bag at the end.

[Xxgotham360xX]

PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!

[spacemanbenman]

Nice hair, I'm jealous

[tankt202Ot]

@spacemanbenman i would be to but im not a girl

[goodygoody23]

It's not bad by any means, he shows technical skills. He was clearly in that phase where he thought tapping was the best thing ever. We all went through that phase. However, calling yourself the next Van Halen does not earn my approval. Next video.

[Blueslover241]

KIller musician!

[snowfarma]

That's INSANEEEE

[SimplyFaster]

Sorry, I can not find any contexts for the riffs.....totally away from anything else than the "fan club" sitting down and foolish themsekves there....totally bad....sorry....

[srdanbabic]

2:13

pass the joint !!!

[budmeasap]

Nice finger tapping! :)

[BlackGhost574]

kinda boring,,, its good but boring....

[XINGPV]

i honestly belive this is amazing.. but the title? well, little fail

[xUdieToox]

that's a big kitche- oh wait, that's a boy.

[AidanandLucas]

Sad that people think this kid is good. :( He isn't the next VH by far. Eddie actually thought of new ideas an made it melodic. THIS IS SO DAMN BORING!!!

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

@mechiefslapahobitch /passes joint.

[mechiefslapahobitch]

amazing nerd guitar.

[bowlohippiedip13]

holy hell kid! KEEP IT UP!

[rob1973able]

hey whatever to all you haters! this was really good!

[longwhip]

Listen to the SOLO in ACCEPT's "Metal heart" and tell me for one minute that this is original...everything is copied to some degree and I applaud his efforts on his playing... Eddie V....not....just saying!

[lamaymusic1]

ROCK ON KID!!! FOLLOW THAT DREAM! YOU WILL HIT IT!

[sgarrou]

poor Eddie.......

[pipinfool]

At least you took your time and got the fingering right. Nice job.

[Sticky1254]

Way to play the same mode over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over again with the same 16th note arpeggios. Bleh.

[07foxmulder]

i can only laugh at people like you. not just van halen wannabes, but anyone who wants to be "the next....". what kind of musician wants to be like someone who came before their time? an uninspired, unoriginal, talentless hack. just imagine where the world of music would be today if the Beatles stuck with doing Chuck Berry covers and never wrote Help. stop trying to be like someone else. it's creepy and lame.

[jakeiverson57]

Wait a minute. "This is an original guitar solo that I wrote." So it's YOU in the video. You can't call yourself the next Eddie Van Halen. Try to have at least a little humility.

[MultipleAbyss]

he's a kid. he'll get it. 3 notes over and over used to be fun and so cool!

[thekeithchannel]

Not the next Eddie Van Halen. Moving on

[jonstaskis]

@thekeithchannel I lol'd

[KRISSPCRITTER]

wicked chops bro....!!! People will rain on your parade because they have no parade of their own...... Keep rockin!

[nirrox]

Next mustaine maby, he's also a ginger^^

[hippoflamingo]

@nirrox teh, next mustaine. kid fuckin wishes

[nirrox]

@hippoflamingo I wasn't serious xD It says "next van halen" but the kid's a ginger/daywalker, and then he would be closer to be a mustaine;) All for the fun :D

[babygurl3746]

3 year olds can do beter but of course ther japanese

[babygurl3746]

omg sooo good.. not really that good and shut up lady going "owwwwwww" in the backround every 2 minuets

[Kappzify]

Looks like my dad back in the 70's.

[JacksonPaneXavior]

if he is the next eddie van halen than i am the next yngwie malmsteen

[screamokidscreams]

holy shit fuckers dude!!! u rock donkey balls!

[SuperJohncenarko]

WHO COULD DISLIKE THIS?????!!!!!!

[saeidmomtahan]

I've been RIFFED to death. get me outta here

[rodrigozamo]

leave the guy alone, this kid is pretty good, very clean on each of the notes he plays and his tone is very nice, very similar indeed to the VH brown sound, with phaser and all...keep it up, I would really like to see you with a floyd rose guitar so you can really pull the EVH type licks and dives too

[deadmanprodinc]

@rodrigozamo Do we really want more of this in the guitar world. Learn a song!

[thescoundrel1]

Pretty sweet, dude! Keep it up.

[gregorio232]

2:05 Gingers UNITE!!!

[dogdogdogdogdog889]

I MEAN ITS ALL IN THE SPIRIT OF ED AND THANK GOD WE HAD HIM TO SHOW US THE WAY WE CAN ONLY BE CREATIVE IN THE FEEL THAT HE SET FORTH AND I THINK HE WOULD LOVE THAT. BECAUES I GOT TO TELL YOU THERE IS A LOT OF FANTASTIC TALENT ON HERE BECAUES OF HIM.

[noahlankford1]

I guarantee half the people saying he sucks can't play guitar worth a damn.

[tobiasdick09]

@noahlankford1 dude waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than half. but yeah. good call.
