All I can say is wow! This can be a real bitch to play because of the fast swing feel, particularly the rhythm part. Well done young man, you've got a very bright future!!
Wow...absolutely incredible. Makes me want to through my guitar and myself out a window being that I've been playing for over 25 years and still can't nail that song.
great job, here's an idea why not build or purchase a slightly smaller guitar like 3/4 or 7/8 scale..your hands and body would fit it better and it would not look like you are struggling w/ the size of the one you are using here.. keep on practicing you are way way ahead of the curve..
so, how do you learn? did u teach urself or have lessons?could u please tell me, if u taught urself, what u did exactly? thankyouuu and your playings amazing!!
I can't believe what I just saw,I'm 38 and I still can't play that. You Are my new favorite guitar player. I think I'm gonna give up the instrument. If you want a million u tube hits try to get a better camera cuz that was unreal! At your age if u take this Evh stuff past where u found it u might just replace him lol! Bravo! brother bravo!
It was sad when Eddie was begging Kurt Cobain to let him play onstage with them because he thought he was "washed up". Well, it goes to show that kids are STILL playing Van Halen, making replicas of his guitar and the music is still timeless and kick ass. As for Nirvana... well...?
@Skellyman96 I have played for two and a half years, and I can play any Van Halen song I put my mind to, in reality play time has nothing to do with it. If you sit down for a day you can perfect a song. It takes me about a day, day and a half to learn a song in full, and depending on how hard it is it's perfected in that time also.
Great job! Ignore the negative people and just have fun with it! I just posted a version of this too... I think you will enjoy it. I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio to do some creative things. At one point I superimpose my body onto the stage in front of a real VH crowd back in the 80s LOL. Rock on!
wow, nice kid! Nice axe and nice shredding.... Jesus you even have his hair! I feel bad for your parents, your gonna have girls all over you as soon as they hear you playin
You should really change your setup for when you cover these songs. It sounded good for the Eruption cover but for every song? Please take off the that delay and phase 90 if that's whats killing your distortion. Please for the sake of the listeners.
Don't listen to that homo, you don't have to change anything. This is how even Eddie fucking Van Halen would have played it live back in the days, the sounds, the feelings... I love it. That's "VAN HALEN", for fuck sake.
My opinion? Start your own stuff. You already have the "skills" if you can play this song, you just have to use your heart too. I wanna hear it.
PS: Hell, I would sell my drummer ass for you right now, and I'm 25 yo. I would love to play with somebody talented like you, my generation is filled by emo shitheads and stupid people that act like "rockers" when they forgot what "Rock & Roll" is all about.
You already know it and you're 13. That's fucking amazing. Keep on rocking. Feel your heart.
@Trooperx0 well dude the phase 90 is used in the intro and the solos and eddie used an tape echo box on the whole album except for you really got me and runnin with the devil
@frankenstrat25 It wasn't used in this intro. I know it was used through out the whole VH1 album but was only switched on during the several solo parts of most of their songs. And he had the ecoplex run through the right channel so it wouldn't take away much clarity from the tone coming from the left channel.
@iGuitarWith Holy crap dude, that is some pretty scary playing for your age. Keep up them jams and you will go far. In 5 years you could be living the dream! Keep it up!
I have a kid that is 3 years old and I hope he can play like you when he's 13 that was Awsome. Who ever thought you did a great job, plus all your hard pratice paid. Good job, Proud of you for keeping metal alive.
WOW!!!!!!! Great job young man!!!!! Great to see the youngsters rocking.
