VAN HALEN Cathedral Cover

[TheNicoli12345]

so when you start your hammer ons after the intro, do you do hammer on each note on each string from an open string?

Like at 0:26 i noticed you start on the 2nd fret of the A string i do believe if im not mistaken? like how is this done imma little confused on doing it XD.

[MRdetination]

0:37 is the best part

[rfd73]

2 people are deaf, incredible cover buddy!

[LOMAZ5150]

i wonder if the volume switch was fucked after?

[rosterking1]

Very good! Probably going to take a class on how to play guitar/ electric guitar in college. :D

[KingOvQueens23]

WOW!!!!! I am 36 years old and been listening to VH since junior high... U are blessed... That was AWESOME!!!!!!!



[teofaouaz]

Very nice cover. Very close to the original. Cigarrette kills, though!

[tgchism]

Best cover of this I've seen!

[SHokERSS47]

It is Fender???(Guitar)

[TheRealBozz]

Who the hell could dislike this?

[Mark3164]

Ladies and Gennulmen, the only decent version of Cathedral on YouTube!

[vmartin96]

im trying on acoustic i have to hammer on hard to produce the sound

[DoubleTommyRider]

ITS SOUNDS AWESOME not like pipe organ its sounds like Cello!

[SonicBrunoth]

So the secret is the cigarette...

[23zingzing]

this was the first song i learned to play :o

[TheCruder1]

yea

[MysticPotato68]

What effects are you using and what are the settings are you using? Great cover Eddie would be proud.

[LMTDefender2000]

did i just die and go to van halen heaven

[yoututeddy]

what guitar is this?

[TheAgentAssassin]

I remember as a kid when Diver Down came out in 82' it took us awhile to figure out what the fuck Eddie was doing.

Was it a guitar?

Was it a synth?

Back then we didn't have easy access to such information as what we have now.

It's what made Ed such a legend to me was the entirely alien sound he achieved in guitar sound.

Also with little guitars intro we thought it was 2 edits with a dub over

[RastaryanMarley96]

just noticed the cigarette in the headstock hahha

[elreymidasargentino]

sos un maestro!!!

[joshguitar100]

if i had a a dollar for every pixel in this vid i will have 50000000000000000 then give it all to him then we can see more!

[kp6173]

 Totally awesome!

[hatake22A]

Mmm .... you do I use some pedal? or not?

[JgHaverty]

Anything off of Back In Black cept for You Shook Me All Night Long

[XxANDY2047Xx]

[Beemerboy324]

I read through your bio on your channel. I wish I had become an architect! I see 2 people were deaf and thought it was promoting smoking.

[Coelones]

Oh my fucking god. i've been trying but i can't with this! D: you are a fucking MASTER! (of puppets lol)

[Muzikmaniak40]

That was awesome....JUST DON'T PUT A CIGARETTE ON THAT GUITAR DOUCHE!

[youathoz]

@Muzikmaniak40 he just did it to imitate what eddie does ._. not cuz hes actually smoking

[AnonJaxun]

That was beautiful, sir.

[poizon930]

FLAWLESS. well done, sir. well done.

[SuperSmashbrosgod]

Are you sure your not Eddie Van Halen? (;

[SuperSmashbrosgod]

Are you sure your not Eddie Van Halen? ;)

[plumastu]

[CHARLS57]

2 guys are atheists

[FoodFolksandGuns]

great job bro! all that's missing is the analog hiss lol

[STEVE13061]

Absolutely note-for-note perfect rendition. HIRO....you're my HERO..!!!!

[TalkToTheBody]

Now listen here Eddie, I find it so wrong to impersonate someone who is trying to be like you :D Seriously I am blown away, you make it look so easy :/ Top marks and very well played....Eddie ;)

[RocknRockFan]

Do you turn the volume completly down, or you just put it down a little and back up a bit?

[wallsk8r]

*clapping*

[TelmoBrandao10]

i love this "song"

[rekcilkcid]

fuckin hell, what a great guitarist you are

[Ericclapton325]

Makes me think of ocarina of time

[SoftMachine1972]

[wetdog112]

[0CaiusVirusia0]

Eeeewwwwwww his smokes a light >=P

[vandoorenjm]

fucking good man you rock!!

[PurpleRainNigga]

Thats a badass shade of green!

[calvinator09]

I can somewhat play this song but I can not get it to sound as well as you can. What type of pedal are you using and what is the tuning you are using?

[JustForTheTunes]

What kind of delay pedal are you using, it's fantastic!! And great job btw!

[roblarosa]

Fantastic



[Aerosmithrockr1]

Epic

[MrTelecasterIV]

Its like Super Nintendo Sound!! And i like it!

[skylineXpert]

[Brewtallion]

[marcstricklin]

Impressed!



[burnemsmitty]

[rastriador963]

I like to learn this song but I see it impossible..

gread cover men

[JgHaverty]

@rastriador963 nah its really really easy. I give a prettty good lesson on my profile. Feel free to look and ask some questions.

[FaimlyGuyFan]

I wonder if anyone ever realized the cigerete at the top of the neck?

[pcrandall]

Nice job! But you gotta play it on the middle pickup!

[JakeTheRocker1]

gotta love the crayon under the string on the head of the guitar.

[WWChrisCornellDo]

@JakeTheRocker1 that would be a cigarette

[dgcmusi]

Very cool sound Hiro

[larzgallows]

@dgcmusi Thanks my friend!

[JgHaverty]

@larzgallows finally another person that covers it properly! You are literally the only other person I've seen on youtube that does volume swells instead of picking it.

You made me realize that I fucked up my ending part :D gonna redo it tomorrow then :D

[PSNgregiskool]

@larzgallows Spot on! I was half expecting Secrets to come on after the video ended! Well Done. I really want to play this song, so 1. What delay pedal are you using and what are the settings, and 2. Do you have the tabs to this song? Thanks in advance great job!

[ChickenFaeces]

@larzgallows

What's the bridge pickup in your strat?

[supertoaster51]

lol you got the cig on the head to haha awsome cover

[Fernandez3995]

Hmm hammer one, volume knob, and delay right?

[The1970sInfatuate]

Is that a G&L Legacy?

[superdanlewis]

lol fag in the headstock, just for effect :L

[MartyCannava]

Wooooow sounds incredible!!!!

and very clean ;)

[AndresArellanoLIVE]

hey, what effect/pedal do you use?

[metalhead326]

REAL guitar gets you vagina. nuff said.

[TheSleepySurprise]

 Hold your breath.

2) Copy all of these steps.

3) Go to two other video.

4) Paste it in the comments.

If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker

[AxelNight13]

Flawless

[superlegoman123]

Hello, first , you are very good and continue ! After, what tuning you are using ?

[JakeTheRocker1]

@superlegoman123 regular scale

[Ericclapton325]

@superlegoman123 Probably E flat thats what eddie used.

[09numbers09]

wats tht in ur tuner at the top?

[TheSleepySurprise]

@09numbers09 its a smoke i was like wtf at first

[Mr19962thomas]

Very nice man.
