  • thing is with guitar.... less is more, effects are like coffee, ya dont want it too strong to drink, you play well, but the over all effect is losing that "attack" sound you achieve with less effects... so in the end it sounds less skillful..

  • Lol do ppl on youtube really think they're cool by insulting people and their mothers? And over a guitar solo? Really? LAMES.

  • DO NOT LOOK LIKE

  • song skill level:

    -justin bieber

    -very easy

    -easy

    -medium

    -hard

    -very hard

    -insane

    -God

    -Beat it

  • @tJOOPjOO nah try some jazz that is a really hard sort of music this is more fun to play :P

  • @guitarherofreak161

    Chuck Norris whistles asian jazz when he's sleeping. xD

  • That's all you got?

  • good stuff pal

  • Why are people saying he made mistakes or isn't playing the right notes? There are no "right" notes. I'm sure EVH doesn't play it the same again and again. If you want to hear Eddie's solo, then go and listen to it. This, is this guys solo and it's really great.

  • he messed up just a bit.. But I like this style much more imaginative.

  • Awful dude. At least learn the right notes!

  • @lopeylopes its an improvised solo you idiot

  • @joemufc2 That's not improvised douchebag! That's an awful guitar player trying to play one of the greatest guitar solo's of all time and doing a crappy job so BLOW ME!

  • @lopeylopes Well I thought it was good, and the whole point of a solo is to improvise you fucking cunt. Do you think every time EVH plays a solo to his songs it's exactly the same as the studio recording? You don't know what you're talking about pal. Get back to doing something you can actually talk about, ie. getting sucked off by the family dog, you fucking ZERO

  • @joemufc2 LMAO! Well you really showed me! Why don't you stop listening to shitty guitar solo's and get back to something your good at like tongue-ing your fathers hairy yambag then do me a personal favor and crawl back up your mother's cunt where you came from you fucking useless twat!

  • @lopeylopes well that wasn't a shit rip off of my previous comment which ripped you a new one... Ironic you're trying to call this guy out for doing a shit cover when you've just done exactly that! Fucking dope.

  • @lopeylopes by calling him an awful guitar player it voids everything you say from now on, if you've even learned any guitar in you're life you'd realise that was a more advanced piece to play. clearly you haven't...

  • Good Work !!

  • Like this page! facebook (.) com/HighlightAvenue

  • @sprinkler5802 so, yer comment was like a month ago i guess, where is the video you were going to put up of yourself playing guitar ??? just another mouthy little bitch trying to bring people down, and hiding behind a computer .......... go figure.

  • misleading vid titles and thumbs always elicit a thumbs down and comment criticizing the unethical person who did it. I suppose it never occurred to you to put COVER in the title?

  • Did you play this with your feet?

  • This is nice!, YOu made it your way, i don't understand people this days.

  • My god man ! You kick ass !

  • this is truly garbage. if you like this then you dont play guitar or you suck at guitar... come at me

  • @sprinkler5802 record yourself doing better, do it! you won't!

  • @Alltimelowguitar123 wow didnt expect that comment. I do do it better but thats not the point. Thats why i can judge. I know good playing from bad playing. As for you, dont try to emulate this.

  • @sprinkler5802 record yourself and show the world how good you are then lol i mean thats the only reason you're not gonna come off sounding like a complete dick or maybe you want to be who knows

  • @Alltimelowguitar123 NO im just alittle tired of hearing bad guitar playing on youtube and then watching countless ppl praise them for it. I guess you dont know what i mean. But how bout this... i think theres a digital camera somewhere in this house and im going to locate it and make a video. Within the next week you will be able to check it out and only because your not the first person who had the comeback of "then post a video of your own playing dick head" Ok?

  • @sprinkler5802 won't believe you until it happens

  • @Alltimelowguitar123 no kidding

  • @sprinkler5802 yours is a strange way to beg for attention .

  • check out this version. very accurate.

  • great version dude , hope u check mine out on my channel n like aswell. keep shredding man

  • What Did You Use To Get That Echoing Sound?

  • I'm glad to see from the comments that this wasn't actually Eddie playing...

  • Very good playing, i think people disliked the video because they saw the thumbnail, and thought it was a live video of Jackson. ;)

  • im guessing you dont have a whammy bar ? hahaha

  • SEE MY VERSION COMMENT PLEASE !! watch?v=8u4JZyHyGNw

  • That was about as acurate as a 10 cent watch!!!!!!!!!

  • ou

  • Rest In Peace

  • souless and some what out of key eddie has played much better

  • This solo Would ROCK if it was not missing a whole Measure of AWESOMNESS found in the Original... I Give you a C+ for effort !

  • I would say "Better than Orianthi's impro on this solo"

  • Sounds great.....sept for the other 82 notes that are missing....oh well, screw it!

  • sweet

  • Orianthi dose the best version! And she's hot.!!

  • It's hard to cop a EVH solo without both plagiarizing and completely bombing it. You did neither, so thumbs up!

  • It's good but it's not Eddie.

  • THANK YOU for sticking to the originals highlights, also im glad you didn't add a five minute tap solo on some lame scales...

    I rate it as---TWO Thumbs and One penis Up!

  • i think fallout boys just messed up our mjs songs including the solos

  • My honestly opinion: I liked it!

  • I personally like slash's solo more than eddie's... but that's my own opinion :s

  • @MCboy1820 Slash' is great too. And they are more recent. more up to what we listen to nowadays. However, with all respect to Slash, he isn't up to the level of the likes of Eddie van Halen, John Petrucci, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai. And he never intended to be.

  • @kenjuma I always say that we shouldn't discuss music tastes, we should only discuss quality... and eddie's great and slash will never get to his level, but I prefer slash's solo to eddie's... it's not a matter of quality but a matter of tastes, I personally don't appreciate tapping.

    rock on! \m/ ;)

  • @kenjuma

    also mason williams

    listen to classical gas, he made it up as a warm up!

  • srry but u need to be more badass

  • whats up with the gay sunset pics in the background

  • holy shit that was you? I'm trippin not much makes sense but if so that was fuckin ill son

  • Really good!

  • hey guys, thanks for all the support and encouraging comments, I am extremely grateful for that!

    Now is it that I work as part-time producer and musician so I do not put up more solos and guitar cover here, but I have a new channel to which you are welcome to visit!

    The link is on the video, haha!

    coming up guitar videos there, probably.

    Feel free to share it to your friends, i have a facebook site too @ Emil Axelsson - Music Production

    Thank you all again, cheers!

    / Emil

  • @GibsonGuitarFantast well i had to flop my dick out and have a wank, it was fucking awesome haha

  • How many time did you practise to do this?

  • That was nice.

  • awsome video dudes please make more peace

  • OK, we all know the original was beast!! But its nice to change things up alittle...i like how u kept parts of the solo the same...but u added ur own stuff in there also....very nice!!! you should do other solos...!!

  • Amazing! Just as good as EVH himself.

  • nice version but i was wondering if you can find the solo for the hardest song in the world?

  • 0:07 Michael; "wow! i can't even see his finger, his fast! he is eddie! HE IS GOD! :o

  • Eddie...?

  • This version is fuckin' great!!!!!!

  • I really enjoyed it. Good skill and good attitude towards playing it. I prefer people playing something their own way rather than exactly copying the original recording.

    So good job.

  • Very cool. Great job, man.

  • im just glad not to hear the king of PEDOPHILES singing!!!!! guy was a whack job freak!!!!!!!

  • why are people say this was bad? i thought it was very good

  • @YourNameHere136 Thank You.

  • @xTeam503x maybe not the original solo, but its the solo part by me..

  • @GibsonGuitarFantast fuck you. its not a fucking solo, dipshit

  • @GibsonGuitarFantast fantastic job man..dunno why people are idots..

  • @GibsonGuitarFantast

    VERY COOL!!!

  • @GibsonGuitarFantast ITS VERY GOOD!!!

  • @xTeam503x it is a solo

  • What's this shit?

  • i like your solo version, rock on dude!

  • Bad!  (as in not good)

  • @seattlehawkins

    Very easy to say that on internet isn't it. Bet you cannot play like this.

    Nice man!

  • @iTry2Merch Bad! (As in not good) 

  • agree with elchafa, eddie was so fucking perfect in playing this solo. however i think this is great solo, 1 thumb brother :)

  • Long live Eddie Van Halen!

  • fuck you

  • I liked it. It was different, not just copying the solo, but you kept true to it's nature with the double tapping and doing the tremelo at the appropriate times. 1 thumb for you sir, from me.

  • @MashBlink Thank you!!:) nice of to say that! :)

  • muy bueno

  • I just got blown out of the window from the sheer awesomeness that is van halen.

  • harmonic squeals are pretty dead on man in respect of eddie though he's playin damn near 40 years man and you know when u hear him but im not complaining by any means you would blow me out of the water playin guitar anyday

  • RIP Michael Jackson you are amazing and an inspiration

  • wow amazing song, Love you have a great talent.

  • One pinch sounded WAY outta place. Wasn't a pinch? Sound problem? K. Sry. Still fun to listen to you play. Thx for posting this.

  • The guitar needs to be tuned to E Flat

  • Love it, amazing, fantastic. You've got a talent you should hold on to bro :3

  • @Muzzo93 Thank you! :D

  • What fuck theses people put audio in youtube!!!!! It's to VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's my dream to learn this solo on guitar... Hopefully I'll fulfill it soon :D Awesome cover bro

  • that was cool & good

  • can you send me the tabs for this!? its amazing :)

  • EPIC FAIL !! OFF TIMING ANS WAY TOO MANY DIF NOTES AND FEEL TO ORIGINAL..FACE IT YOUR GAY !!

  • Did you play this? It was nice, but my problem with this solo is that I find the original Van Halen solo to be so fuckin perfect that I have trouble accepting any other "version" of it.

    Nevertheless, I think it was a nice version.

  • @elchafa Thank you :)

  • @elchafa I agree with you. It was a great solo, but when you hear the original it just sounds so perfect. My friend is one of the top session guitarists in the UK and he had to play it for it a gig. He did his own version as want to try and do the original note for note.

  • @elchafa idiot try to have an open mind,

  • I'm so glad he died LOL

  • thank you.

  • i miss michael jackson :'(

  • VERY GOOD MJ & OS MELHORES !

  • awesome...good old days

  • where did the backing track come from

  • youtube: beat it backing track?

  • Do Caralho esse SOLO! a musica intão nem se fala, uma das melhores.

  • Good

  • @regularbonj

    And Jimi Hendrix played exactly the same thing every time??

    Improvisation is the ultimate freedom

    regularbonj, you don't even know what you are talking about

  • I knew a cat that worked on 'eat em and smile'. Said Diamond Dave plowed through a half OZ a day......where's the guys that that these days!!!!!

  • awesome

  • Great ! Cool ! Rock.......

  • Not bad at all. Let's see you faggots do better

  • it's not exact. but i like it so.! =D

  • sorry bro, that solo wasn't even close......

  • you're retarded....not close?

  • you know, that's really nice of you. Standing up for your gay lover like that. You go!!!!!

  • It would be better than letting the world know I have absolutely NO idea what I'm talking about....or letting the world know that I'm one of those losers that 'doesn't like Michael Jackson' but still goes to all the Youtube videos about him to talk shit. Reminds me of those guys that is always talking about 'fags' because they are secretly gay.

  • I love MJ, never said I didn't. I merely pointed out that this attempt and the EVH solo was sub-par and that you sir are indeed one who smokes cocks. Now if you have a further issue with this I can continue to ridicule you in this very public forum, or you can get back to doing what you do best: the smoking of cocks.

  • Because you say I'm ridiculed I am? Lol, I just got back from a 4 year deployment, if you think a back-and-forth on Youtube is going to break me, think again. Look, the solo was exactly the same, no different from any small variations that EVH himself would do in concert...

  • Alright fine. It wasn't so bad I guess. To be accurate EVH would likely be drunk off his ass, he'd train wreck worse than this....last time I saw VH he wiped out during jump....

    Peace.

  • lol, if you remember that you must be at least 35 like me. I used to work for a dry-cleaners on Miami Beach, David Lee Roth used to come in with jeans shorts, no shirt, and flip flops to drop off his laundry. Very laid back...very high.

  • He doesn't tap the e-minor arpeggio in the 3rd segment. He does that insane stretch lick that he always does live. Watch the US 83 festival

  • Hell yeah bro, I've got the =VH= '83 US Festival performance, and it kicks ass. EVH is my fav guitar player, but you're right, he relies on that same stretch shit when he's wasted on stage. It's a great lick, but once you've done it, don't play it 10 more times during that show.

  • uh what the fuck was that?

  • the king of rock and the king of pop.

  • err..is it Elvis Presley the king of rock??

  • @HighwayToHell2112 He Is The PRINCE of darkness..

  • @xbob23 Yes.

  • my mother teach me something called sarcasm

  • I know its hard doing what eddie did but the arrangement was nice. i like it because it shows how original one person can really be!!! Those who say that its terrible, they have no musical Ear! Good Job Buddy! 4 and a half Stars!!

  • Esse kra devia ter vergonha, ô solinho meia boca!

  • vá tomar no rabo! o solo original é uma peça mestre, o solo desse video é cover d algum bundao.

  • Foi exatamente à isso que me referi, o solo do Eddie relmente é uma obra de arte, nem por isso preciso ser mal educado, nem com vc nem com o autor do cover. Gostaria de ver se vc teria a mesma coragem pra falar o que falou pessoalmente. Quer tentar?

  • hauhauha nem. nem moro no brasil.

    Foi mal pelo mal entendido.

    sorte aê kra

  • Q é isso, vamos deixar pra lá, boa sorte pra vc tb. Só pra vc saber, Eddie Van Halen, é pra mim a maior referencia para guitarra, valeu. Sorte pra vc tb.

  • hahahahahaha

  • Terrible

  • I agree.

  • how is it terrible? u must have no sense of music. yes it wasn't perfect it needs a little work but y do u think a person like you has the right to say something so uneducated and barbaric as that.

  • Terrible 2 - The Return!

  • Best one I`ve heard yet (and there`s a few!).

  • Thanks :)

  • lol best 1????!?

  • This is the closes you can come I think, 5 DESERVED stars!

  • Vá se fuder porra !! Estude e tente novamente.

  • 100%

  • is this michael jacksons beat it

  • yes it is

  • hahhahaha...what kind of question is that?

  • did you mic an amp???
