[savvybonedancer]

I have now demanded that this song is to be played at my funeral when I die! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!

Great Job!

[PastorYusuk]

other guys add a bit more technique, but this is BY FAR the smoothest, best sounding (tone wise, soul wise) Canon rock I've ever heard (and I've heard a lot!)

[PastorYusuk]

@PastorYusuk LOL, I posted in the wrong song.

[PastorYusuk]

Respond to this video... This Impellitteri cover is better than Impellitteri....

[ilovemusic26483]

[sakeramuda]

[hbigman0921]

So so. Your feeling is enough but your skill and speed is not enough.

[leighton138]

didnt jjimi hendrix do this cover like this i ben trying to finde tabs to this lol

[spill1my1bloodd]

Gave me goosebumps the whole bloody time I was listening to it. You are an amazing guitarist! :)

[armeckthefirst]

awesome cover!

[Joder554]

You rock Dude!!

[ikrn1]

is it down tuned?

[lamaquinadeltiempo1]

7 points,tempo dude

[ZakkDimefan66]

I have your first album with Graham Bonnet called stand in line. Great guitar work. As was this song you played.

[whoahesgood]

can't be malmsteens, malmsteens vibrato's are so noticably perfect..

[EgoShredder]

@whoahesgood

...and the picking would be cleaner and very rarely would Yngwie use hammer-ons for ascending scalar runs. Actually when the video started playing, I instantly thought how much he looked like the recently deceased legend Gary Moore, plus the Gibson and some of the trills have a similar feel.

[landoCC1984]

Amazing!!!!!

[partyongarth420]

beautifull job.. i guess everyone thinks this is malmsteen and satch and or vai huh lol.. i was sitting there thinkin wow.. they sure do play it alike.. same track i think.. its a good thing i found out this is someone else or ide be walkin around saying.. ygnwie does an amazing piece of somewhere over the rainbow lol

[CactusJack75mt]

awesome, keep it up.

[djaysenpai]

didn't liked it, but you have good guitar skills

[road2ruins]

@djaysenpai Why did you not "liked" it?

[djaysenpai]

@road2ruins the solo in this version do not fit with the actual song, i know it's a little unfair but chris version is for me a lot better.

[Matsuris]

low

[TadRapidly]

high above those chimney tops, bitch. ;-)

[kilayable]

wow..awesome!!!

[patraist]

u r so great.  did u transcribe by yourelf or from guitarpro or else. anway nice

[omar4811]

which software he use for drums n which for mixing recording..........

[corrifiero]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

goog goog o my good.. very very good

[jimmyjimmyf]

the only place i found that wasnt doing a crap midi version of the backing track costs £3 via paypal to download at backingtracks.tv, whats worse is that its listed under steve vai - somewhere over the rainbow (thats a laugh)

on a side note great playing but i wish everyone who had the bt would atleast say where they got it from.

[1996greenthumb]

dude why arent u famous yet lol

[Cychro]

@1996greenthumb He was mentioned by Versailles, an upcoming Japanese rock band. I heard his name when they were in an interview, and they were asked Who is their biggest influence. The lead guitarist said "Chris Impellitteri" He is well known by some upcoming hotshots in Japan. Id say thats famous. Rich no. Famous, yes!

[holl0wed]

@Cychro This guy isn't Chris Impellitteri, the other dude was asking the guy on this video why he isn't famous.

[DeeBarber]

Dear SN1P3R568, Thank you for your kind response to a seemingly idiot question. However, a title does not an artist make! Check out the other Impellitteri vid's and you will find this ain't him! That is, unless he's changed age, weight and had facial surgery!

I'd really like to know who this dude is! Does anybody know?

Best wishes,

Sill Wondering in Hollywood

[Glazzman]

@DeeBarber His name is Kristian Tjelle, he's about 20 years old and he's from a little place in Norway called Fræna.

[saumier1]

A nice cover! 

[DeeBarber]

WOW!!! ♥[̲̅̅L̲̅]♥[̲̅̅O̲̅]♥[̲̅̅V̲̅]♥[̅ ̲̅E̲̅]♥

Who is the artist playing this??

[SN1P3R568]

@DeeBarber read the title of the vid...

[dirtydonki]

It's all a matter of taste.

[chumbalum]

the obligatory marshall amp in the background

[IronMav]

very good!!! i like so much this version!!

[jaapiet]

nice!!

[rickybattell]

lets lower that guitar strap some more so its harder to play........

people never learn

[brandonopolis]

This is honestly, my favorite video on youtube. Better than Chris's version, IMO.

[schawinis]

klasse, perfekt besser gehts nicht. ? wo gibt es den backing track ?

[eightysjay]

Great job dude,that was very good.

[soulpower111]

That is how a Gibson should be played.

[Jackdalanterna]

@soulpower111 just like slash do

[PreGuitargod]

MASTER!!

[jester31539]

sweet :P

[mommajuju1946]

Loved it, very talented young man! Want to hear more from him.

[danwin18]

Where can i get a backing track for this?

[rainnyeyes]

awesome!

[tacho004]

:O

Good, you're god

Que efecto usas?

[ganesha59]

ES LA VERSION QUE MAS ME GUSTA

[ganesha59]

BUENISIMO!!!

[integra098]

Cool!!!!

[palaba2666]

[mars390020600]

cool ~ MAN ~~

[zacchiz]

Wow this is so epic.

[saumier1]

Glad to see you add your own little licks within the peice

[Bonziamo]

this is like porn for your ears

[CalieghPassucci]

@Bonziamo pervert

[InFinityPT]

eargasm

[dimeraz1]

@Bonziamo not so bad

[EpischeSchlacht]

yeah, you have style ;)

[oejc]

omfg.

[Marseille5]

What a sound mastering ! Your sound is absolutely superb in every video, and it's all in the fingers. Also, the music is totally understood and played, you are taking us to a wonderful travel into the song, and that was a prodigy.

After this video, I'm quite sure you are among the very best YT guitarists.

[exsanguinate6921]

First off, this isn't a Steve Vai cover, and this certainly isn't Chris Impellitteri who originally recorded this instrumental version of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in the 80's. The guy in the video does a hell of a job mimicking the guitar god...

[badmoonryzn]

You have a really nice arrangement and I love the twins. Truly an inspiring performance. You are another player whose mastery of his instrument has allowed you to put your own feelings into the song. That is the difference between the master and the students. Again, nice job. It is efforts like this that continues to inspire the youth to learn and people to listen. Thanks!

[cthulhuchild19]

that was awesome!!!

[erosensai]

i need to know where to download this song.

[7stringkid]

where did you get the tabs

[lollo86]

LOVE IT!!

[DylanBStringer91]

This Is The Steve Vai Version!!!

[meneertjeA]

it make's me cry

[biotricky]

That just turned my brain into shit!

[iamelvisman68]

slash fan? i hear tons of it in this if im right

[starmanjamesd]

Yeah he has the same lazy style and it works great for him hehe

[dianabanda]

Quina tècnica! Quina musicalitat...genial! Una peça molt maca!

[Neaniscuo]

Well done bro :D
