Electric Violin - Cliffs of Dover - (CLEAN cover)

[tacomascene]

Outfriginstanding! YO!

[12bore1978]

You sir, do music proud, I would like to shove this in the face of of all the classical musicians I have met who have said that material written on a guitar is not music

[hiphopBB00]

@screechkid116 Yeah! Sr for my bad english... I hate those who flattered the level of cover to smear the author. It can be used for some artist ( like JB ) but I think Eric Johnson is a good person and he does not deserve to be told like that

[hiphopBB00]

@Carlos8Charlie Sorry but shut your mouth, no one can play this song better than him.

[screechkid116]

@hiphopBB00 I second that notion

[hiphopBB00]

@screechkid116 what you mean?

[screechkid116]

@hiphopBB00 "no one can play this song better than [Eric Johnson]"

[StarNazz]

WOW!!! That's really amazing! Nice and original interpretation

[gogs51]

AMAZING.... Do you have a version without the backing track because we'd love to play this at our wedding if you do :)

[aludien]

@gogs51 Wow, I'm honored. I'll do my best to dig it up, but, unfortunately, I think all of my personal copies were destroyed by hard drive failure. I may have something on an old external, I'll look.

[Palonenetworking]

Electric violin ftw

[HLGHiddenShAd0wS]

0:00 - 4:23 best part!!! thumbs up if you agree :D

[renataMi99]

wow! i am your fan you are very good! awesome job! hope someday i can play like that

[babylonkid]

3:00-3:30 I felt so good my eyes got watery.

[pecoe019]

Nice job man. That's awesome!

[MrBrian047]

That was awesome. Nice job.

[Carlos8Charlie]

i heard Eric Johnson did a cover of this song....

[afranz112]

@Carlos8Charlie what's an "Eric Johnson"?

[GBienert13]

@afranz112 Tip1: Play guitar better than you (for sure)

Tip2: Created "Cliffs of Dover" song

Tip3: No Need "tip3"

[BaanuRass]

Eric Johnson says the song just came to him one day. The fact that this sounds amazing on pretty much any instrument speaks to that.

[MrPatrixie2]

Almost to half a million, go eddieeeeee!!!!!

[hosweetim89]

Eric Johnson's evil twin doppelganger.

[Nazoshadow]

Hey Eddie,

As one of your students in your 143 sections, I am almost disappointed you never bragged about this or mentioned it! This is awesome!

Sincerely,

Alyanna

[MichaelCox]

I had a feeling this song would sound great on violin :)

[micoandrico]

[TheMike1796]

very good man you have surprised meeeeee you roooock!!!

[horaciovel]

Great job!

[narrellmanguba]

how do you set the backing track on time

[falco830]

Yeah i play the violin an durying 1performance beatoven classical piano trio i went down on my knees infront of the entire audience, caught everybody off guard, and they were like Wtf!?! But i wanna take violin and classical instruments up to a whole new level of epicness!!!

[ETepic]

Every time I hear this rendition, I get teary-eyed. It's beautiful.

[jcfbell3001]

it sounds too classical...

[TheGlowingWookie]

@jcfbell3001 That's because its on a violin.......

[jcfbell3001]

@TheGlowingWookie

doesn't have to be that way, but you can't play an electric like an acoustic, it needs a totally different mindset....acoustic technique is all about projecting sound into a large air mass, with electric you don't have a volume problem, but at the same time it amplifies your bow changes and vibrato, so you have to tone these down a bit, among other things ...but i don't want to come off all negative, he's more adventurous than most violinists.

[BTTFPokePirate]

75 people still don't know how to play the "D" string

[dmiick]

Its great but more meant to be for guitar :P

[josuesol2]

Amazing!! Great!! Fantastic!! Congratulations!! Eddie!! Exelent Sound!! Te mando un abrazo desde Oaxaca Mexico !! tocas muy chingon !!!

[46lespaul]

best damn rock cover on violin props man you have inspired me

[jonrivera]

This doesn't feel like the Cliffs of Dover anymore...more like the Cliffs of Dover and the damn ocean beyond it. I'm on a ship and your cover is blasting at 100000000 dB.

Absolutely love it. Good job.

[4funstuff2b]

Wonderful playing, Eddie. I enjoyed it so much that I listened to it twice in a row. Thanks for the music!

[HeptiCRaMPaGE]

[Tissyanne]

Amazing...... such talent.

[theDandyDroog]

This certainly put me in a better mood. Thanks!

[aLeXiSMaRieBee]

Where'd you get your music ? Violin music is in treble clef, right ? Bc if it is, than I can read that, too...

[Knightcrim]

And so the devil said "Beat me in a battle of fiddles and you shall keep your soul."

And Johnny said, "Alright let me get my amp set up?"

"Amp?"

*plays this*

*devils face melts from the sheer epicness*

[oliverishot]

what kind of Electric Violin is that? Im looking into buying one and yours seems like a good one

[paintbro1]

you know, I think this song sounds better on violin than guitar. very nice.

[lobyone]

didnt think is was possible... its hard enough with 5 buttons

[blackstone123]

Greetings from Malaysia - ultra  awesomeness

[Bill123058]

Damn Eddie!!!

[mrIlovenigahiga]

u would have made Mozart gay

[jannepeps]

Let me se more! Why not Yngwie Malmsteen or some Night Wish. Well done!!

[JJSketch00]

Looks like 72 people missed the like button.

[gregsbest]

Excellent, well done. great talent and style. Tx. for this. !! Why not do more ??

Better lighting may help too.

Cheers,G.

[tgarci2]

You sir, could be the spokesperson for violin playing and it's play rate would go up 800% in middle and highschools around the world

[KAmilkshakeP]

First of all, that was just utterly amazing. I've been thinking about trying to learn this song on my violin, as well. I don't have an electric one, though :/ oh well, it would still be cool.

Secondly, I'm just going to say, you+ electric violin+ Cliffs of Dover= sexy. Just saying.

[pyro286]

i didnt know that they made electric violins

[pointpurple]

Absolute brill.

godfuckingdamn

[bronk33]

[TanthalasMajere]

Dude, you're playing the wrong instrument xD

[inmateno12897]

@BlackHaunter666 come to think of it, the original version of devil went down to georgia was pretty beasty. thumbs up if this guy should do a cover?

[Wilxen77]

Awesome.

[youastonishme]

Reminds me of the poem Dover Beach: "Ah love let us be true to one another for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new..."

[GLC080808]

Really awesome, would be cool if you and Eric could team up, I think a collaborative work/show would be super cool.

[sk8niko21]

He plays the violin like GODS!!!!

[aldexreyes]

Eddie Carlson, dude that was about the coolest performance I've ever seen in tribute to a guitar player. Did we/I enjoy it?? Oh hell yeah ! You certainly got my attention. Has Eric Johnson seen this? Does he know about this? If not he needs to see it. He'll invite you to his wedding so that you can perform it during the ceremony. Eddie, keep up the good work.!

[dynelol]

Do a clean cover of Rylynn by Andy McKee on that thing and you'll be my fucking hero.

[deadseeker666]

You Has Jus Won Teh Internets. Con-Gra-Doo-Lay-Shee-On-Suu

Holy crap! That was amazing!!! I barely have the chorus down on guitar. And yet you did this on a violin (or viola). Insane. Many props dude!

[JohnE9999]

A favorite tune of mine, and you've done an awesome interpretation! Kudos!

[cocokitty55]
