Beat It Solo Tribute to Michael Jackson! by Jono

[dharra11]

sweet m8 watched a few of ur videos. very well played. wat do u use to record ur videos wat kind of camera?

[Mirshahia]

How come most of the people doing this solo uses a jem?

[MrPinoyrock]

Awesome guitar work!

[rockmaster002]

beautiful try to put a delay fir the solo just delay at 2 adjust the song become better god luck

[rockmaster002]

wonder ful try to put a delay just at 2 adjust delay and reverb or just delay the sound become better god luck 

[Evebrianna22]

 awesome

[TheRealOchoCinco30]

And of course, Eddie Van Halen gets credit for that, baddass man.

[Jacovy51197]

bloody hell! How da f**k u do dat!? Dat wos awesome! how long did it take 2 learn dat?

[Jono104]

@Jacovy51197 thanks, from learning it to filming it took an hour............

[BackFlipKing123]

@Jono104 where did u learn it off of

[burubura]

@Jono104 u gotta b kiddin' man!!!thts awesome..

[ynwgie]

sick guitar bud! Vai style!

[ynwgie]

[MrSFblack]

NICELY DONE!!!

[Loseramo10101]

0:46 -0:40 AWESOME lick... nice job

[raynod256]

Nice dude I love how u did 0:28 to 0:32

5/5 stars

[Jono104]

@raynod256 : thank you! appreciate it

[jecafer]

awesome... you're a great guitar play, keep playing!

5/5 stars

[DavidEdwinCarr]

Another great player who nails the tricks but completely misses the crucial parts- the amazing EVH blues feel. It's in every plucked note and bend Eddie serves up. Listen to the solo in Panama. It's 97% Clapton Blues!

[JoeRice]

Dude what the hell are you on about? Stop posting this shit on everyone's video's. This was awesome.

[Quintelianowin13]

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[ilovemacarenz]

can i have the tabs? thnx

[sweetsixteen91]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[CrossTownBand]

Geesh, that is really good! I just watched someone else, a multi-instrumentalist, sitting on the floor without even breaking a sweat pull off Eddie's solo pretty much dead on! She was AMAZING, and not just because of her guitar work, but her ability on so many instruemtns. YOu are the second person I've ever heard doing Eddie's solo justice and my hat is off to you, sir!

Peace Always and All Ways,

Respectfully,

Dave Van Kleeck

[plankboi]

oh my gawd you nailed it better than any other person i've seen on here so far. i am way impressed and very happy that you even got the similar sounds that eddie achieved that everyone else just sloppily tries to do. bravo!!!

[Jono104]

Thank you, Glad you liked it enough to comment :D

Jono

[KellyIsMusical]

Wow really great job. Honestly. I just uploaded my cover of this solo as well :) You nailed it.

[Jono104]

Thank you, i appreciate it! on my way to check out your version...

[cliolord]

awsome man, loving the little tweaks in your version!

[djsque]

what effects did you use?

[Jono104]

just distortion and a tiny little bit of reverb & delay

[skeettube]

no the audio isnt edited that dude played that look at it

[GuitarDemonoid]

is the audio edited?

[Jono104]

Nope, one take straight into the desk-->into the camera

[ThePeaceSoldiers]

AWESOME !!

Please make a tutorial vid !!

[Jono104]

If there is enough demand, and I can find time, I'd be glad to!

[ThePeaceSoldiers]

Thanks dude !

[Smartskaft2]

Yes! Make a tutorial! That would be great! You play it so smoothely :p (I'm sorry if I didn't spell it correctly )

[ikelove117]

Execellent! five stars easy!... can you make a instructional video please???

[awol2602]

More than a copy - you're a terrific guitarist

[robdyerdek]

WHAT TYPE OF GUITAR IS THAT

[RojazzBG]

It's the Steve Vai signature.

[robdyerdek]

aight thanks imma go buy 1

[Kubax230]

Soo much people on youtube have this guitar. ;) Good cover

[1MProductions]

I wouldn't say that, since it's a JEM7VWH which costs like $3000

[susielazarus]

Brilliant Stuff, esp the whammy effects!

[JozefBywalec18]

That is SUCH a beautiful guitar =O

[andreluizfracasso]

Muito bom...

[klingon911]

very very very nice!

[Jono104]

then tobacco burst it is :D

[guitarflamenco77]

Very nice! 5 stars!

[Jono104]

What colour do you think looks best? I know you know this guitar inside out!

[Jono104]

I haven't actually! I Should!

maybe you could send me one? haha

[Jono104]

You honour me by posting yours as a response! incredible!

[racke1993bg]

at 0:25 someone is knocking!xD..great cover

[Jono104]

haha yeah, a few people have picked up on this! It's in the original song if you listen carefully! Quincy Jones stuck a lotta crazy shit into this song...

[luis66281]

Amazing

[iltssm]

how do you get the tapping sounds at about 0:33 or so? because i can't seem to do that!!!!!!

[namohasan]

tapped harmonic, in this solo you play the 7th fret G string then lightly tap at 14th fret, and play the 7th fret G string then tap at 14th fret...pretty hard to get those =)

Need good pick-ups too ^^

Hope it helped,

Nass'

[Jono104]

Exactly as Namo^ said, except the second time the left hand slides up to the 9th fret, and tap the 14th again!

[namohasan]

=) ^^

[iloveyourclit]

like the original

[paharoisto]

what guitar is that?

[alessandrofontana69]

Ibanez Jem 7v Steve Vai Signature :)

[jamaicanhustla22]

ibanez jem

[MrBrownstonee]

why does everyone have that guitar? :S

really good work btw

[Jono104]

Thank you!

they are really popular due to their fantastic ability to be able to achieve pretty much any tone you need, as well as being very comfortable to play!

I recommend you try one and you'll see what i mean :D

Jono

[mCR2311]

i loved it all but 0:39 - 0:44 is amazing what you did with the whammy bar

[SveinKB3]

I like :)

[Ix3Ibanez]

Definitely one of the best Covers; if not, THE best..

[Jono104]

Thank you!

[kgtbest]

shot man great take

[guitarplayer1415]

[djalistar]

[scorpiondeux]

[GuitarPro1984]

[grandi]

[Immortis666]

Awesome man

Nice guitar too

Steve Vai Ibanez Custom

Beautiful Instrument

[michaelplaying]

Very nice done.

[judaspriestrock]

Awesome dude!

[ugforthewin]

You wail! Nice clean playing!

[Metalheadkenneth]

CLosest ive hearD!!!!!!

[deathblade7]

are all jems that design with the rose stem fret board?

[NudaVeritas24]

Hey this one is good as well!

[agreb007]

you guys just buy a stupid ibanez jem only for beat it, get a life !

[peaveylove]

when did he say he bought it just for beat it?

[FenderCP]

Why would anyone buy a steve vai guitar, just to play eddie van halen? grow up man..

[bergAgreb]

cmon man, look up "beat it solo"

you will notice that everyone play it with an ibanez jem

[FenderCP]

ur right, a lot of people do.. but who says that they bought it just for that?

[Jono104]

I agree,

I have used this guitar for loads of different things, it is supremely versatile and fun to play,  that's probably why as many people use them!

[FenderCP]

Yeah.. Guess that other guy is just envious about it... Personally I prefer strats, ive never actually played a JEM, I would like to, but I havnt..

[Jono104]

It is definately worth a shot! I am always torn between Jem and PRS , both as good and useful as each other

[FenderCP]

Well okay.. I will eventually try it some day! Strats are very versatile types of guitars, but for shreading they arent very good.. Im more a singlecoil kinda guy, if you know what I mean xD

[mCR2311]

cuz the EVH one normally cost about 25 grand whereas the steve vai jem is only like 2300, and the JEM can be used in different ways, he didnt buy it JUST for this video

[Chiodose]

Someone was at the door. I hope they could hear you blow that away.

[insomniac88]

nice :)

[vanhandren]

very good...and very nice guitar!!!! I'm studying this solo...I hope to record soon...for me your version is * * * * * rate...bye man!!

[steomcc]

[gerryiam]

Great technique and sound. Nice work!

[DanChan813]

wow man, this is awesome

[necroticearth]

loving the jem matey.

[italianfish78]

it's perfect my friend....

[BlueJeanBabyQueen777]

Awesome! Yea...YOU ROCK!

[dahudge14]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, can you make an instruction video on this solo? I've always wanted to learn, and tabs suck...

[BriantheFrancis]

that was sick!

[kitchensink01]

This was great. Im not savvy with the original solo but im taking it that you created this solo by yourself. If so, great great job.

[jocopa3]

I still don't get why people use whammy bar on that solo...

I do it without and just swipe my fingers up the board at the parts people use whammy...

[woolfolktheelder]

you nailed dude..cheers from greece..keep the nice work.....

[CrusTeek]

this is very good! and nice job with the whammy bar, btw ;)

[kurbi55]

what a gay shirt

[Vincent745]

the video is about his guitar... not his shirt. i reckon you're the one who is gay. by the way, great job Jono!

[Hetriani]

Keep doing what you're doing.

[NaheemHusseinAli]

I love this solo!!! This Larry fellow is an idiot. Check the comments on his site LOL

[TimGovanN00b]

Not bad man. However I should tell you that Larry Govan below is actually an Internet windup merchant named Tim Halcomb who has been plaguing Guthrie Govans channel for over a year. He's a total prick.

[LarryGovan]

you play it BETTER than Greg Howe :-)

[diegoguitarrista]

Excelent!! \,,/

[beardedclambone]

halarious but sounds great as always  ...

[JessicaLyseyko]

i dont get how it could be funny? =\

[beardedclambone]

funny that it is a mikey jackson ,dont get me wrong the solo is great and so is the mighty jono .........jono you should do surfing with the alien or stach boogie

[shane1v]

Great job! Not crazy about the tone though

[beardedclambone]

the tone is great ,dont be a hater

[shane1v]

Hater? You have very poor reading comprehension.

I said "great job". Tone is a matter of taste really, and it ain't so great IMO.

[beardedclambone]

dont deny the fact your a hater

[shane1v]

I am not a hater you silly dumbfuck. This guy is a good player, as I implied before. You are rather stupid. Do you need people to explain stop signs to you?

[beardedclambone]

sorry ,didnt realize you were so sensitive about the whole issue of tone ,ps......what is a stop sign?

[manofmishap]

nice. well done! loved it.

[JoaoPedroGC]

And what a perfect solo...

[JoaoPedroGC]

Am I getting crazy or someone knocks the door at 0:25?

[BobSaggot666]

i wish i had a jem :(

[AlanStirlin]

amazing , love the song too

[JessicaLyseyko]

Holy shit. Thats pretty fantastic!
