[joshuawayneyork2]

Whoever disliked this is a piece of shit....

[4x12]

Awesome!!

[GoHabs13]

how you liking that axe. I was thinkin about buying one cause well its cheaper than his new wolfgang and well it sounds like it kicks ass.

[Ednerd]

@GoHabs13 yeah, it's a great guitar.

[GuitarLordChels]

awesome

[transtremm]

Very well done! A joy to listen to.

[Tohrstar]

what kind of pick up are you using? your tone is great

[siben]

nice guitar and tone !! oh and playing too !!

[erlem2000]

yes best sounding EV player...you should let us know you :-)

[ski5150]

dude, no need for excuses...I saw your version of "Mean Streets"... you've earned the right to mess up!! LOL... Great job man..keep it up, Eddie RULES!

[Th4Zombi3]

good shit dude.. u play good...

bomb guitar too!

[kjmg65]

sounds good

[fowcircle]

great, i love this song

[theratfarmer]

hey dude, you're one of the best sounding ed players out there, top 2 or 3. is it me or, are some of the strokes off timing? ex., .26 .29 .32 .34 etc. all up strokes? is this some kind of trick ed did to throw people off?

[Ednerd]

thanks. I played this thing all wrong here. I believe you are right, he likes to do a lot of off timing stuff. I don't think he was trying to throw people off, I think he was just going for a certain feel. he is a master of rhythm.

[fowcircle]

the way you play this song is great is almost perfect only for some little but not important.

[Sean2592]

@Ednerd either him or Angus Young are. I can halfway get the stuff Eddie does. But Angus is by far the hardest dude i've played. There is so much of an precedent on timing and the length of bends it's unfair

[fretworx]

not bad.. you're capturing the feel of it better than the other posts i've been looking up. I love the fact that you stand when you play, too - i think that goes back to you understanding what this craps all about in the 1st place...

[Ednerd]

yeah this is an old one. bout time to redo it. I learned long ago to practice standing up. and actually, I think it helps you play with a little more feeling...anyways thanks

[drexelfall]

keep screamin at the man

you little dreamer; bosco its all there

[drexelfall]

2.25 lost a little of your background

but you got the groove bud,lets see some more

[bigchillcar]

oh thank god..then there's hope for improvement for me! :) divorce left me feeling lonely, so i'm glad i have the guitar to help. it's funny..i always used to practice sitting down in the 80's, now that i'm getting old and stiff, i stand!??

[Ednerd]

LOL. you'll get it back even better. when I picked it back up again, I couldn't even remember aint talkin bout love. :) now I'm playing better than I ever did. I practiced for about a year with .10s to build up my finger strengh, then when I switched to .09s again it was so much easier.

[bigchillcar]

awesome..really enjoying your vids! i've only posted a few one pass vh tunes, played with my brother who's a drummer, but i'd like to give this one a go, too. i've worked up about 75% of it. keep it up..really appreciate the work you and a couple others are doing here!

[Ednerd]

thanks bigchillcar! check out satchbooggy and PDXguitarlegend. their both great

[bigchillcar]

absolutely, already found 'em both! another i recommend is dougfcknsteele. after 18 years of not playing at all it's good to be back! my charvel model 1 outa storage is like a time capsule. my bro in my vids got me back so we could jam. as my chops and song memory return, i'll post more with you very excellent vh coverers. tabs and youtube would have been phenomenal back in the 80'! keep it up..i appreciate your accomplishments! like that you play standing like me, too! ;-)

[Ednerd]

thanks, yeah, I put my guitar down for 13 plus years and picked it back up about 3 years ago. I like to practice standing up, because it's harder and if your gonna play VH live, ya just can't sit on a stool. :)

[alexmusic07]

my dad built an identical EVH replica like that

[damnit777tohell]

You're pretty good man, great work. Too bad about the ending though. :P

[mikemihalis9]

Dude.. very nice.

What kind of effects are you using?

[JoeNJ1]

Nice guitar!

[Guitarchordhelper]

dude john, you are insane

[k1ng92]

nice to see that somebody else uses Charvel...

[joedinaadi]

nice!

[Guitarwannabee]

Ay Ednerd, Nice work man, I don't think I've seen this one yet, I tried leaving a video responce , I hope you don't mind, if not don't post it, I wanted you opinion on my Version, I only worked on it for 4 days, I had some pitch problems, other than that I think it cam out ok... Thanks.... Craig

[Ednerd]

I re-did this one right before you posted yours :) Under the alias of "VHguitarHack"

[Ednerd]

I got the response email, but it's not showing up in my accept reject deal. I'll check again later

[littledreamer1201]

Hmmm guitar looks so familar! lol Pretty awesome playing! And I did notice but still pretty good.

[Ednerd]

thanks littledreamer1201. I reposted this under the alias of VHguitarHack. I blew the solo (needs some more work), but at least I played the verses right. :)

[Babyfresser92]

...wait, this is not the FRANKENSTEIN REPLICA.

[KissRocksForever]

Very nice playing! whats a guitar like that cost?

[Babyfresser92]

38'000 $ ,in Germany it costs 21'000€

[saucy2345]

no, at the guitar center close to my house i could get one of the same design for around 500$

[saucy2345]

no around 300$ close to my house, i was there an hour ago

[ledhalengirl24]

*wipes tear* omg That's my jam! Awesome as usual! :D

[Ednerd]

thanks! I actually played the 2nd and 3rd verses wrong. I can't believe nobody picked up on that! :)

[ledhalengirl24]

Haha . . . "An artist's worst critic is himself." lol!

[Ednerd]

so true. I think once a week I want to give up the guitar, but something keeps me coming back.

[FEAR188ER]

i love this song but how do u do the main rif??oh and thanks for the help on panama

[thebillmiester]

wat effects did you use

[Ednerd]

marshall overdrive and MXR phase 90

[thebillmiester]

thanks

[mkuallus]

that's nasty dude! you've captured the feel of the song which is missing from most of the other players

[DjosueD]

Where did you make that replica? It's not the real one.

[Ednerd]

I bought it. its the charvel EVH art series

[evhgl87]

haha, dude you did fantastic. one of the few that actually "play" the song, rather than hunting for notes if you know what i mean. i love edward, fun songs to play =]

[komodomoe]

I think EVH would be proud

proof that not all faggots on youtube suck

you are one of the only youtube covers that i haven't hated.

[Ednerd]

thanks komodomoe...I think..did you just call me a faggot? :)

[komodomoe]

its ok, im a youtubefag too.

its just a fact that everyone on youtube is a fag, just like everyone on myspace is a teenage girl

[dalexb98]

for me playing on a thicker neck makes me better on the thin ones. After I play my 12 string acoustic, my Wolfgang is a breeze to play.

[dalexb98]

So you prefer the EVH Music Man?

I like thin necks, easy to play.

[Ednerd]

I prefer the EVH Charvel necks and the strat style body. But as far as sound, sustain, action, ease of playing, the EVH Music Man wins in my book. If you play more than one guitar, it's just hard for me to bounce around between different style necks. Try going from playing a Bass Guitar to a regular guitar. I played only Bass for about a month then picked up my strat. It felt like a little toy. It's freaky.

[dalexb98]

I have a Strat and a Wolfgang. The Wolfgang is a nice guitar with the neck is a bit thick. I prefer the Strat. Im thinking about getting a Charvel Van Halen. I would like to get the new Fender Van Halen, but at $20,000 its a bit much.

[Ednerd]

cool. I have an EVH Music Man. It's a great guitar, the best sounding guitar I've ever played, but the neck is really small, so I hardly ever play it anymore. $20-$25K is way too much! you'd be better off building your own replica.

[dalexb98]

How do you like the Charvel guitar? Neck is thick or thin?

[Ednerd]

I like both of my EVH Charvels a lot. The necks are strat style, which I like. My other Charvel (Copperhead) has a Jackson style neck...thin. I don't like those thin Jackson necks. I can play em well, but I'm just more comfortable with the strat necks. My first guitar was a strat. That might have something to do with it.

[dalexb98]

Thanks.

The orange MXR phase 90, or the new Van Halen red striped MXR phase 90?

[Ednerd]

I've got the EVH (red one) I like it because it has a script button, which kind of subdues the effect a little. For this tune it's all out phase. For his other songs I use the button to have less phase.

[dalexb98]

what are you using for amp? effects?

[Ednerd]

amp is Marshall MG100DFX. effects.. Marshall built in Reverb & Delay. MXR phase 90
