Van Halen - I'm The One - performed on guitar

[ArpeggioBeast]

cool man .....

[GreedoUT]

That's all well and good, but a REAL musician could play this song on Guitar Hero on HARD difficulty!

Just kidding. That was incredible and a lot of fun to listen to. I think that if I could play that well I'd never leave the house. Just play amazing stuff all day!

[hummarstra]

pretty good, but if you listen to Eddie he clearly swings the rhythm whereas you're playing the rhythm straight. A lot of players make that mistake.

[PDXguitarfreak]

@hummarstra ...Thanks, and yeah I've never heard anyone but Ed play it exactly like he does. No videos on YouTube that I have seen are 100%.

[blasterkid2011]

rad!

[6MasterYoda]

Wow dude you rule. I saw a fiew of your Scorpions lessons and now this...Amazing

[MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

1:58 : sing it! :D

Great great great cover btw!

[Mosconi526]

Where did you get the backing track for this? Could you share it? Great job by the way!!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@Mosconi526 ... I don't recall where I got the backing track (I deleted it quite a while ago). However, I get all my tracks from either

guitarbacktrack . com,

or

guitarbt . com.

[cameragirlJane]

Stopped by this morning, and had to pop on this vid!! I don't know if I saw this one before!! Holy Moly Dave!! You nailed it!! Must show the fam! *****

[MrIvanHalen]

PDXguitarfreak is the ONLY person I know that likes to bend with his pinkies.

[takeuchitb007]

cool vid and good playing man! I think you need a haircut haha

[dinkthestink123]

bitchin hair. u like like dancin rick from starsky N hutch. sick cover man. good work

[Boogyman4050]

I watched all your Van Halen stuff. They all sound great. Unchained seems too flanged out, but no doubt you play kick ass. Just curious though. Does your wife make you wear the wig and glasses? Afraid chicks are gonna show up at your door? LOL Keep rocking buddy!

[Boogyman4050]

Try the beginning intro notes with a little faster roll. Other than that, I couldn't of played it any better. Well done Mr Wigman. Good showing of chords and notes for the rookies trying to learn this song. It's not so easy is it people? Eddy didn't write em to be copied so easy. You gotta practice a lot.

[MOSKII58]

great version,but i am curious..is that your own hair?? or a wig..it looks like Gene Simmons on a bad hair day...anyhow just messin w/ ya excellant job the video was cool.

[Tobiscuits]

I never thought to play the barber shop bit whilst playing alone, badass idea!

[djrickysmith]

YESSSSSS........You did this song again!!!!!! I've been waiting for this!! ....awesome guy!!!

[drinkspecials]

wow! great vid. How long did it take you to get it so down pat that you felt free to make the faces? I have about 8 or 9 songs in my arsenal to where I know them so well, I have that kinda fun! LOL Great playing man, really great.

[KrethX]

Watched again. The "ba-da-da-doobe-doo-waa" bit was just awesome. That looked like quite a challenge.

[TanyaKaloyirou1]

awesome piece of playing Tanya

[ScalerWave]

Wow, smokin' lead work

[Napalm78Riffer]

Satriani with hair ^^

[Buchoass]

You know it's awesome when you laugh at the end.

Dude! I laughed at the end.

This looks like such a blast to play.

I recently dusted my axe off and got some blisters from hitting the frets but, nothing like this awesome fret shredding madness of yours.

Right freaking on!

~Cheers~

[KISS1975]

That kicked major league ass!

[TheAcousticMetal]

Amazing

[ramonhimself]

greenscreen?

[PDXguitarfreak]

@ramonhimself ...yep, using Sony Vegas Movie Studio. I also have a tutorial video on my channel which shows you how to do it. :)

[ramonhimself]

@PDXguitarfreak .. i have sony vegas pro 10 :)

can you do that on sony vegas pro?

[PDXguitarfreak]

@ramonhimself ... yes. I have version 9, but the effect should be called the same: chromakey

[DreidMusicalX2]

Hey man just stopping by to say hey WATZ UP! Been a few since I stopped by but I am always around to support good TUBE friends and those who can just rip it up!

Man love to watch you play bro! Just FR(_)CK N Jamzin!

Hope you are rockin this weekend up! Take care!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@DreidMusicalX2 ..thanks Dave! Good to hear from ya! rock on! :)

[TrppyTV]

fukun amezen brotha

[PDXguitarfreak]

@TrppyTV thanks Tripp!

[3daywkend]

This video deserves a million hits.

[PDXguitarfreak]

@3daywkend Thanks! :)

[VanHalenFanClub]

And I love what you did after the second solo. I have never seen anyone do the vocals on the guitar like that. Brilliant!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@VanHalenFanClub ..thanks man! It was either that or show me sitting on the can like my older version LOL

[VanHalenFanClub]

Hey Dave are you using the crunch or the ultra channel of the JSX on this one?

[PDXguitarfreak]

@VanHalenFanClub .. hey bro I'm using the Ultra channel except for the little "bop ba da" part after the second solo (I use the Crunch channel there)

[sportygirl869]

Very very good!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@sportygirl869 Thanks!!! :)

[noshadez]

Ok now I like your version the best.. If anyone can nail this song you deserve the gold guit... You got it...keep rocki'n

[PDXguitarfreak]

@noshadez thanks man! Rock on!

[noshadez]

I like pauls version best.. you are just tooo good at it is what is wrong with yours.. Paul has a bit of original to his own.. unbelievable how you nailed it though but paul has those dancing gouls in his vid at the sha doobie do wah..and you had not much at that part.. alittle more come up with somethin cool would help ya.. extra great..

[PDXguitarfreak]

@noshadez ah yes, the dancing ghosts LOL. What's funny is that I normally fill the space with goofy shit too. I originally posted a version of this where I just sat on the toilet during that part (it's still on my channel in the archives). Personally, I think Craigman65's interlude is the funniest -he has Peter from Family Guy singing. Anyway, I decided to do something serious this time, hence the rhythm guitar to replicate the singing.. thanks for watching! :)

[SomewhatSublime]

That's such a nice PRS. I'm jealous. Sick playing too.

[PDXguitarfreak]

@SomewhatSublime ..hey thanks! :)

[dgcmusi]

Killer thick.....Great command Dave ..Love your sound ...

Dave .

[hemicuda572]

you play great but you should work better on getting the right shuffle feel for the main riff....and upload a new video!!!! id like to see that!!!! other than that its great!!!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@hemicuda572 ..thanks, and yeah the shuffle feel always is a challenge on this. In theory it's so simple, but in practice I have never seen anyone get it exactly right. Oh and new vids coming soon :)

[hemicuda572]

@PDXguitarfreak yes, i know what you mean...its easy to get it slow then when you start speeding: poof!!! its gone!!! hahahaha well, thats why theres only 1 eddie!!! ill try to figure how to tape these videos and edit em and make my take here on you tube! I will SUCK though!!!!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@hemicuda572 ... you got it man - speeding it up is what takes the feel out for me LOL. Rock on!

[KISS1975]

Killer!!! I wish I had your skills!!!! Killer!!!

[darkooo94]

This is madness!

@pgpapas thanks!!!

[IMurderdTheDevil]

Hi Dave,, hey on that tune are you using the ring finger and index on the D? You nailed it bro...awesome...

[PDXguitarfreak]

@IMurderdTheDevil Thanks bro, if you are referring to the recurring D power chord, yeah I use my Index on the root note and the ring finger on the 5th. Is that what you meant?

[IMurderdTheDevil]

@PDXguitarfreak Ya, 10/4. thanks Dave...what going bro? Have you ever tried Motley Crue Danger from Shout?

[PDXguitarfreak]

@IMurderdTheDevil I'm hoping to do some classic Crue soon :)

[MyTwangyGuitar]

There isn't anybody putting out the quality and consistency of 80s rock better than you, man.

[PDXguitarfreak]

@MyTwangyGuitar Thank you sir! Appreciate the comment from you!

[robertsutter]

I'm sure that you use both hands to eat and write with. This level of ambidexterity is beyond any of the Primates that have EVER existed on ANY of the Planets. Are you great at basketball too?

[PDXguitarfreak]

@robertsutter LOL basketball? I can beat my 6 year old one-on-one :) Definitely not one of my talents though

[MroczneKrzeslo]

[nascream79]

Fantastic playin' and I enjoy your bg as usual :)

Well done my friend...

Thumbs up!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@nascream79 hey thanks honey ! :)

[Gonz216]

That intro's a bitch, ain't it? Good job.

[PDXguitarfreak]

@Gonz216 ... yeah, it tortured me for years! LOL Mine still isn't perfect, but it's hard to find anyone that does right :)

[Gonz216]

@PDXguitarfreak Doug Steel, or Russ Parish. Those two cats have it COLD. Don't be discouraged if it isn't "perfect". You rip the rest of it up VERY well.

[MusiciansQuarters]

@PDXguitarfreak really go metroamp.com and look for a gent called rockstah he nails it! good job tho, try to play with some triplet feel man be bop good job brother

[PDXguitarfreak]

@MusiciansQuarters ... yeah it's that triplet feel that hangs most people up (and of course keeping that feel at high speeds). Once the drums come in, it's a little easier to keep the feel though. Rock on!

[NoahHellbilly6string]

Rippin as always bro!

[PDXguitarfreak]

@NoahHellbilly6string thanks Noah!!!!

[mmonti1]
