  • trolls suck di.. this dude is really really good at what he does!

  • wow dude gratz !!

  • Im sorry, But HOW THE FUCK could anybody like stupid shit like dubstep more than this masterpiece

  • "Amazing" is the only word for that performance......bravo

  • nice man, this cover is waaaay better than my take on it a few years back.... i gotta say, you've inspired me to re-learn it and post a vid lol

  • Gasp! Nicely done mate!

    No, I'm not jealous...... Okay just a little :P

    Keep it up!

  • this is a great cover people need to stop being dumb

  • Everyone thumbs down juanitoguzman2011's comments cuz that fag made other accounts just to like his own comment. I hate FAGS like that bunny fucker

  • @VICJR98 couldnt you say asshole, cuz i dont think i want him nor the other gay folks >_>

  • shit!! this is worse that the other one. Why this gay dont plays it without the playback, Eric guitar sounds more than moongay's!!

  • @juanitoguzman2011 check your hearing dumbass

  • @juanitoguzman2011 Alright bro you call this bad, I tell you what. Why don't you get YOUR guitar and let's hear how YOU play it hot shot!!! I'd love to see how bad you screw up the song compared to him. I don't take up for many people but you really need to shut up unless you personaly can play it better. Now why don't you quit trolling and watch a different video.

  • @juanitoguzman2011 Your an Idiot

  • @dwb041 thanks dear you too , so you call that a cover ??? playing with the playback lol

  • @abdakka0 A cover is replicating any part of song yourself. If you sing to a karaoke track it is still a cover. A song like this needs a drum track to keep timing perfect. Just respect that this guy has extreme skills. Now F**K OFF of youtube!!!!

  • bien peao...! bie te pasaste

  • may I ask how on earth you get this tone?

  • Hi man,good job,can u give tabs? ^_-

  • This. Is. Amazing. <3.

  • I know Fenders are great by I wanna see him slash on a Jackson or an ESP or something like that

  • this is the only reason im subscibed to you haha

    

  • you know how to play it but the sound is 100% FAKE FAKE FAKE i hate cheaters like you

  • @abdakka0 -_- uh uh no way!

  • @abdakka0 Your just bullshitting yourslef D:

  • @abdakka0 he played this song twice. with 2 separate videos. this is just better quality sound.

  • @frankenjeff prouve it!

    

  • @frankenjeff Actually this version is in 240p.. It's a great performance but it sounds like it's been dragged through a mud puddle. The other one actually sounded better. This one needs to be re-uploaded @ at least 480p for best sound that one can hope for on youtube.

  • @abdakka0 you better be kidding fucknut

  • @abdakka0

    agreed!

  • @abdakka0 Your an Idiot

  • WOW. The only thing harder than learning this song perfectly, is not making a single mistake throughout (while playing it perfectly) and this guy didnt make any mistakes at all . Theres only one word to sum this guy up, LEGEND

  • @DeeJaySpineBoii yeah he makes a few bum notes thats how you know its not fake.

  • oustanding talent!!!

  • Cool +_+, I'd like to play guitar like that=) 

  • I'd sacrifice my left nut to play like that

  • For those who think this is fake.... Watch the vid at full screen and closely watch his fingers on the fret board, especially beginning aorund 3:18 on to the end. He has it down pat. Now if he has the fret board fingering down pat why in all that is rock holiness would he fake it and use a backing track??

    Me thinks all the haters are Guitar Hero fanatics who wouldn't know how to play a REAL guitar if their life depended on it.

  • @PapaWolfman

    me thinks this guy should play the solo without any music at all, that's the only way to see if its fake or not.

  • Good cover. maybe it isn't fake, but i'm sure he's using the original recording as backing track, so the actual guitar sounds in the background

  • @germannbvo he isnt....have you seen his other videos?

  • how old are you lol?

  • its not fake it just sounds exactly like the original recording :D

  • In the description, you made a mistake spelling *misstake*

  • definately real. if you listen in the beginning he sorta delayed :P

  • 162 people are very very jealous

  • this is the most perfect song in the history of music 

  • mind=blow

    GREAT job! =D

  • Kid, stop playing with the recording in your room. Get together with a bass and drummer and play for people!

  • Only problem is I can't tell what you're playing.

  • are you using the fuzz face on the leads too?

  • wtf this is amazing !! love the song and now love you !

  • real or fake ??? if is real : wow dude ur fukin good , but if is fake : wtf man common xD

  • @alexpunk2010 It's real. I've been playing classical for decades, and just took up electric for fun; didn't want to waste my time with easy stuff, so I learned this one. His fingerings are spot on. So... if he's faking it, he took the time to learn the fingering :-)

  • @MultiChief1 i see . so im stupid =S i gotta learn how to play very fast xD . ive been playing' guitar for 3 years , i can play a lot of songs , but i cant play this damn song . i mean i can but not all the whole song .

  • @alexpunk2010 I hope I didn't seem as if I was calling you stupid. It was a fair question to ask whether this video was real or not. I'm doing pretty well with Cliffs of Dover, but I still haven't built up the speed yet on the blazing fast parts. I need to learn some electric guitar specifics. It's in good shape overall, though. Good luck on it.

  • @MultiChief1 aahah no bro u didnt . yes youre right . sometimes its hard to belive that this guy is playin' so fukin' perfect . thats why that i was wonderin' if this shit was real . xD . thanks dude . i'll keep practicing .

  • @alexpunk2010 You got that right. I'm 41 and I'm watching this young kid for pointers on this tune. He's a big part of the reason I can play it at all. I kept bouncing between him and the sheet music whenever I needed a visual from somebody who can do it. Stick with it. You can do it. And what a cool tune to add to your bag!

  • @MultiChief1 yeah i got it , and yes i can do it , thank you sir =D im 18 by the way XD

  • @alexpunk2010 You can check his channel, he did a cover on this song a year before this video. I dont think he would be faking 2 videos of the same song + the fact that he has shit tons of other AMAZING tracks on his channel so....people that are saying this is fake. Get real and please learn to play a guitar before you come with stupid comments

  • @moviearticka haha lol , i didnt said that was fake , i said , " real or fake ? " . whatever dude .

  • i have a huge dick

  • so far the best version I've ever seen. coooooooooooooooooool great guitarrist.i'm brasilian i am learn this music.

  • watch?v=tQ0iww5u6_I&feature=re­lmfu

    this is the same guy, same cover, and maybe it will convince the haters that theyre wrong

  • Just a tip, fantastic playing better than anything I've ever heard, but maybe record directly into the recorder rather than using the camera mic.

  • Hey your Jesus just saying. And u should try for the love of god by Steve vai

  • You are doing a fantastic job of covering the great guitarist Eric Johnson's Cliffs Of Dover.

    My hat is tiltel your way ma brotha.......GOOD JOB.....if you lived closer, I would love to jam w/ya.

  • amazing cover u should totally cover arpaggios from hell bye yngwie malmastn

  • is that a jay turser edition strat? cause thats what ive got.. and seeing you play it like that proves to me i just have a crappy amp lol

  • Listen to Moonchild89's newer version ............. HO-OOOOLY shitesers

    This dude is more than GOOD

  • another sloppy ass EJ "cover" huh? 98% of whats sounded is EJ idiot. sorry but u are over influnced by the man and u clearly need to learn to play, especially if ur trying to showcase ur so-called "talent". Now go learn to play.!!

  • @JackDawsonRMS Since you're criticizing him, how about picking up a guitar? Record yourself, and then go post it on youtube. If you think he needs to learn how to play, then show him how its done.

  • you lick nuts just like metallica does !

  • Best cover hands down!!

  • everytime i hear this it gets better ..... youre light years ahead of some of the shit that have a recording contract

  • I wish i could do this on my own guitar:P

    For how long did you play the guitar at that date?

    (I play 3 years xD)

  • absolutley fucking shit hot!!!!!! your on the money there young man,,,take a bow....... your a fucking hero

  • Please, don't hide Mr Johnson, we know it's you.

  • @CliffRRhoads lol true XD

  • Tjena tjena, du är grymt duktig! Jag är också från Piteå, är ny på att lägga upp video på youtube. Vore grymt schysst om du kunde kommentera min kanal! :)

  • can you please do a white stripes cover!! by the way you are amazingly talented <3 you deserve way more subscribers :)

  • Absolutamente asombroso!!! Felicidades! Super!

  • Fanfuckingtastic 10/10, king of the hill.

  • 159 people prefer bending over for Cliff rather than Cliffs of Dover.

    This song just isn't worth trying to fake because it would take hours and hours to just learn the movements to make it look credible. Face facts, this guy tore this thing up full stop and it was on the level.

  • You're so good - you almost look bored in some spots!

    I aspire to play 1/5 as good as you are, sir! Freaking AWESOME!!!

  • @bigdaddycabic

    The thing about this video, other than the sparkling performance, is that the camera angle provides another good perspective on hand positioning and fingering for this tune. So it's bigtime win for both viewer and player.

  • Chuck Norris plays guitar?

  • This is Eric J., you just can't understand it, cause of the cap

  • 0:27

    what you are witnessing in his left hand is an optical illusion, it's literally when his fingers start moving so fast, they they look like they're in the same spot! That is intense!

  • i prefer your first attempt more!

    this one has been changed too much

  • Are you kidding me?!? How can people dislike this? Either the people that disliked this think that the word "dislike" is a greater and stronger meaning of the word "like", or they're just plain haters. Moonchild, just ignore the haters. You sound great, and it doesn't matter what people think.

  • I can see you have some practice, but in my opinion, if you really want to shine, you must play it without the original recorded, if you fail, Eric Johnson s guitar support you and its not honest, play it just with the backing track and show us how good you are, you can do good job

  • YOU ROCK!!!! 

  • LEGEND!

  • Instead of using the actual song, why don't you use a backing track so we can actually hear what you're playing and not just the real recording! I can tell you're at least not faking it, cause I can see your fingers moving to the right frets.

  • ok why are people even mentioning guitar hero here, i know it was in the game like the rest of the world but its retarded because this song is too good to be compared with a plastic fucking toy!

  • hey man, this is great! what are you using to get that sound?

    \m/ rock on!

  • @Guitarman461 the original recorded

  • i can't play this good on real guitar , but i got 100% on this in guitar hero :) , well , i suck , but nobody need to tell me this :)

  • this song brings a smile to my face everytime i hear it

  • 157 people can't even play this on Rock Band.

  • BEST... GUITAR... COVER... EVER!! KEEP ON JAMIN MA FREAKY FRIEND!!

  • @sonofaspine why the fuck people think thats fake? this song isnt so super tough cause there are millions of guitarists and alot of em can play it, and 1 thing why people dislike, are those dislike comments, like 156 people play it on guitar hero. thats so dumb to watch, those retarded comments get highest rate aswell -.-

  • @sonofaspine: Agreed. It's a fantastic cover. I've been playing classical for decades and recently decided to work on some inspiring electric guitar music. I've been working on this tune for about two weeks. Thanks to this young man for a perfect visual aid to refer to as I slowly progress. It's absolutely the best cover I've heard. Nicely done! Very impressive.

  • @sonofaspine nope check out jack thammarats cover hes asian

  • @Dr4v1 Lol, but he actually has a bit of a different tone and has added his own touches to it (Which is definitely not a bad thing). Moonchild on the other hand, has completely perfected EJ's tone, effects, and played it note for note. Its up to personal taste, if anything i sorta wish Moonchild did this video a bit more close up, similar to Thammarat's video, so we can see those blazing fingers in action

  • @sonofaspine its abit better than the last recording but still the tone could be better.personally i can get a better tone on my steve vai signature guitar and line 6 amp. And Jack Thammerats version is the best cover of this song on youtube so far, lets be fair. much better sounding altho some notes are abit wrong in his version.

  • this guy should be rocking out in concerts

  • nice thats what i want

  • that was very orgasmic. nough said.

  • Great,great cover dude !!

  • @mevalelokedigas ... well i'm not him but i can say it depends on your skills. so train hard

  • your cover of this song is really outstanding!

  • 5079 = \º/  while 156 = 0.

    Congratulation, guy, great job. Sound and perfomance is ok!

  • this is amazing nice man

  • Nice job! i also have a eric signature lol such a nice guitar right?

  • Vgg :)

  • great !

  • Very good...Sounds like you got it....This is a challenging song, and it sounds like you are picking up on all the strange little nuances associated with Eric's playing... Again, very good job....

  • YOU ARE EPIC! you play it just like its surpose to sound like and you do it with style and i can see you enjoy it! this is eargasem!

  • It's so perfect that sounds like unreal o_o

  • Next time play it WITHOUT the recording

  • fuck.me. 0_0

  • @AreTheseYourCarKeys Ok when? 8D

  • sounds far to like the album version for me to believe this is real

  • @maxstunner100 well some people can actually play that good.

  • @roddyjo ha i know my video has 6 million views! so i know a bit about good guitaring. If its real its SO impressive! a little too similar to the studio version though? i play this along with desert rose, high landrons, when the sun meets the sky and lonely in the night which are my fav eric johnson songs but even with a 60's 2 peice alder-body strat + pedals and Marshall amp and practice i could never sound THAT identical to the exact millisecond.

    I suggest posting it w/out the backing track

  • @maxstunner100

    Well that just means that you arent as good as he is. Just try and look at his first cover of Cliffs of Dover. That was a couple of years ago, so it is very possible that he could be on the level where he would be able to make a perfect cover of the song.

    Btw: Look at his pedal, his amp (he has put out a video with them) and the fact that the red strat he is playing on in this video, is a Eric Johnson signature Stratocaster.

  • Comment removed
