  • the dislikes on this just cease to have any meaning

  • Comment removed

  • Grande!

  • Possibly the most widely-attempted cover in the history of youtube guitar videos. Over 4 years later, it's still the best.

  • By far the best cover.

  • Probably one of the top 3 covers of beat it I've seen... Real nice job man!!!

  • HOLY TITS THAT WAS EPIC!! please tell me what humbucker you have in her!

  • dude you are really calm when you are playing when i start up to playing beat it solo im turning into a monster lol

  • 19 pitiful misslicks.. -.-

  • Ok if u disliked this your obviously fucking stupid.

  • Amazing job dude! I cant stop watching this! ;D

  • i can only wish

  • i like ur sound, what setup do u use

  • Wow dude, that was perfect, but I screwed my face up when you did the pick slide at the very end!!! Sounds like just a hammered-on slide down the E string to me.

    Also, tune down half a step for ultimate authenticity! :-)

  • dude you are so musical!!!!!! your timing is great!!! the best version on youtube yet!!!! In fact I think when I compare your version to Eddie's live version that your version is better than his!!!!

  • @TrishBrewer I actually mean this to death, I think it's better than EVH's version too.

  • Nice job on the Beat It Guitar Solo

  • suave

  • Perfect!!!

  • @stevysoundmusic You mean the van halen beat it guitar solo really rocks?

  • Fantastic!!!

  • amzing

  • One of the best versions on YouTube A+

  • perfect...

  • nice

  • That is not an original EVH Charvel Art Series guitar beecause the neck is glossy. It must be custom

  • Are you a classical guitarist by trade possibly? Just curious? Also, why this video and the other one as well? Whats so different? What rig are you using? 5 stars again

  • Great Job on the Beat it Guitar Solo !

    John Denner

  • wow!

  • He makes this look so easy.

  • its easy! (:

    great solo !!!

  • again, very good cover. Best technique and form on YouTube. Nailed it....5 stars

  • Fucking epic!!!!

    I think I'm gonna take my vid down cuz it can't compare with this godlyness:(

  • Nice cool superduper

  • without a doubt, the best cover on youtube, mine sucks big time compared to yours, good good stuff

  • THe best I've seen from the other beat it solos i've seen.

  • Really well done. Great guitar work. Awesome control! I just uploaded my cover of this great solo as well :) 5 stars for you for sure.

  • exelent just exelent

  • look up oriathi she played it on "This Is It" its just as good. awesome man

  • @SOADFanatic999

    No offence but she is an awful guitarist and her version blows.

  • Im sorry but Im sure Santana would tell an aweful guitarist that she would be the person he passed the torch too. Anyone who can play this solo cannot be an aweful guitarist. and what excatly makes her version blow.

  • Santana wouldnt know a good guitarist if it kicked him in the tache. He is an awful guitarist as well tbh....pass the "torch" lol...

    Watch her videos mate she has no idea how to gel with her band or how to be interesting. Shes getting press because shes a girl. That is the blunt truth.

  • Well heres the deal. Santana the aweful guitarist you speak of is world famous. . and frankly Mr. azazael07 ive never heard of you. So hes got something on you. And well every musician has their flaws. But that certainly doesnt make them bad. So im sorry that you dont have apriciation for the arts but please dont display your arrogance for other peope too waste 30 seconds of their life reading.

  • Learn to spell you knob.

  • there's nothing wrong with her cover, if anything it's raised awareness of EVH to this generation's kids which is no bad thing.

  • definetely the best i've ever heard on youtube except van halen himself off course ah ah ^^ . Very very good

  • This is like JIZZ IN MY PANTS; smooth, white, tasty, makes you feel dirty but nice

  • wow. of all the beat it solo videos on youtube, this by far is the very best and sounds the closest to the acual real solo,, well done

  • ........nice...

  • excellent cover!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • is that VH signiture guitar but different color btw does it have pickups

  • no thats the original b4 the red one

  • yes it has a pickup it has an EVH clone mounted directly to the wood for better sound

  • Nailed it, nice man. Very sweet

  • that was perfect^^

    1000/5*

  • are you drunk buddy?

  • This is awesome guitar playing just listen to it, wtf has him not showing his face got to do with anything, you have serious sexual identity issues Mr Homo.

  • whats the name of the guitar u have?

  • it's a charvel stratocaster I'm almost sure...

    But I'm not sure everybody can afford it lol XD it's about 1700 € so at least 2000 dollars... very nice guitar!!

  • I want you guitar! :|

  • Finally someone on youtube that can play this damn solo..... props bro.. keep rockin'.

  • absolutely amazingggg, said by a girl lol

  • that renders your opinion null and void :p

    BEAT IT TABS

  • sei un grande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • me gust tocar la guitarra también. muy bien!!!

  • 2 nd only to John Denner 's cover of the beat it solo!

    Well of course Eddie Van Halen would be 1st

  • a cover does not get much better than this. AMAZING

  • were caught in a pickle hear

  • muy bien!!!

  • nice CHarvel

  • A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Excellent

  • Is that a Charvel art series or did you make it and put a charvel decal on the headstock?

  • my guess is he made it due to the clear coated neck...

  • Straplocks too but if it was me i wouldn't touch the guitar

    so yea he probably made it

  • yea i wouldnt do that to mine

  • mkk

  • fucking love the end with the uber quick picking ;) x

  • just PERFECT!!! I used to believe that only Eddie himself could play this fantastic solo so well... till now, BRAVO!!!

  • is cool this solo

  • wow

  • how do you get that tone?

  • This is the best cover i've seen dude, keep it up! :D

  • the best cover on youtube!

  • not a single mistake... Thumbs up! ;)

  • what guitar is that? i like it

  • That's a Charvel Art Series. I don't think they're made anymore, you can look on Ebay but they're like 2 grand.

  • cool, thanks, but sounds a little out of my price range..

  • the best cover i've seen!

  • You and John Denner are by far the best players when it comes to this guitar solo!

  • not eddie?

  • yes :P

  • Most realistic version I've seen.

    You simply played like you were in the 80s, you played like eddie, top job mate!

  • *****

  • OMG this guitar sound isssss great, amazing solo, Michael Jackson Van Halen COOL

  • Fucking nice play dude! I have seen many covers of this solo but this is BEST!

  • Exelent

  • best solo ive seen on youtube so far! VERY nice job, nice guitar, pretty much perfect =P

  • did you make that guitar or buy it?

  • im pretty dure he bought it 2 reasons the headstock is charvel and charvel has that model in white red and yello i think

  • The correct kind of guitar to play music of the 80s. Charvel with maple fretboard, 14" radius, Floyd Rose, single humbucker, EVH stripes...whoa! luv da 80s, man!

  • best cover of youtube ! O.O

  • Nice done

  • Nice playing!!

  • nice guitar man

  • Absolutely excellent playing.

  • exelente

  • It was perfect, why the negativity?

  • watch my version of the solo!
