[idk393931]

nice guitar



[HiOctane62]

Rock on man awesome job bro

[derekdifazio]

great job, this cover kicks ass!

[acdczeppelinhalen1]

Nice cover, and did you tune this 1/2 a step down or did you play it in standard? i cant quite figure out which it is and the way you play it sounds dead on.

[myoozzick]

Awesome vid!!! How do you do the squeal at 0:22 ?

[acdczeppelinhalen1]

@myoozzick Its called a pinch harmonic. You use your thumb on your picking hand to hit the string at almost the same time (but not quite) as you sound the note. it takes some practice but isnt to bad once you get used to it.

[Werderfreak97]

@myoozzick

You have to build the harmonic of a note and then you use the Whammybar :D

Just like Scream Notes xD

[xxsolidsteelxx]

Go start a cover band!

[mechanicjoe]

your awesome man 900000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000 stars

[marineman825]

[Evostratdime]

[PEREZ95NHS]

I like that guitar.

[Metalmachinecrush]

Nice tone!!!!!

[92smalls]

Dude, you are freakin awesome!!! How'd you get the sweet Frankenstrat?? I heard ther like $25,000!

[matig304]

@92smalls it ain't a frankenstrat, it's copy of kramer 5150

[GibsonRocker1958]

@92smalls Thats not a frankenstrat, i mean, not the relic one.

[Metalmachinecrush]

Well tasty dood,...nice 1.

[tagger5532]

what kind of guitar is that fender, kramer, evh?

[guitarpro48]

your out of tune a little dude lol but stills sounds good

[drizzeling]

You play al sow the litle things and bits noodeling on the guitar.verry wel done

;-).. Greets from Holland'' ROCK!

(by the whay he was groing up in Holland(the netherlnds)

[gibsonman20]

Man that was the best cover i have ever heard! Thumbs up!

[RimmySekhmet]

Nice!

Amp? Nailed the sound perfectly.

[58rhoads]

Dude!!! ur amazing

[jgoldston96]

that was sweet man...one question though is there any difference between that guitar and a normal strat exept for the pickups?

[uglybob6666]

It's amazing to me to see guys who can play this stuff as well as EVH but aren't known like he is. I guess the trick is to be able to write (or make up) this stuff.... now that's the hard part. I guess. That said, you do a helluva job, I'm impressed, and I don't impress easily. or do i?

[slag5150]

@uglybob6666 Thanks Bob! I just wanna rock.

[uglybob6666]

@slag5150 Yeah, you ROCK alright. Come over to my place and teach me how to play!

[xlr8r2010]

@slag5150 Are you Dee Snider? ;/

[xlr8r2010]

Nice...good playing.

[Blikzje]

@slag5150 You freaking are!!!

[joinmyteam]

@uglybob6666 its not only the playing!!!! its the style and their own music... do you think evh would be famous if he only made covers of others songs?

[uglybob6666]

@joinmyteam You are absolutely right! playing something that someone else has already done is one thing but being able write the stuff and be original is what the true talent is, but you gotta start somewhere.

[joinmyteam]

@uglybob6666 yes you cant start write own because if you play a long time you will learn scales and what sounds right , which chords to which scales and s on. and then you can write own

[rodgerrabid]

@uglybob6666 you look like someone tried to put out a forest fire with a screwdriver

[sgslayer99]

@uglybob6666 its also the fact that you have to be able to wright the music not just play it, and besides evh is after all the reason we have floyd rose bridges

[Waltos]

@uglybob6666 Agreed. But Jimmy is an awesome player!

[MormorRock]

@uglybob6666 well this video sounds out of tune but check this guy play it

/watch?v=9uH5rP159UI&feature=r­elated

[SeanRamey]

@uglybob6666

Yeah making the music is where the talent is. There are loads af Awesome guitar players out there. Many are way better tan van halen or anything youve ever seen, but they don't really make awesome music, or they just aren't known.

[TheMarcuscamby13]

you impress easily lol

[THEBLUR2583]

NICE GUITAR i got a gibson angus young sg

[mineyouto]

where did you get your guitar at i want one

[barrytroter1]

nice guitar man !!

[switch0123]

[EVHstyle5150]

@switch0123 actualy its a 5150 lol

[switch0123]

@EVHstyle5150 oops,dude im sorry ...

[EVHstyle5150]

@switch0123 haha, it really doesnt matter lol

[Marin55555ws33]

how much did the guitar cost?

[ACDCv5150II]

its obviously not the retail "Frankenstein" guitar for $25,000 ,you can easily make one yourself if you have the supplies........i did***.......there's many youtube tutorials to make it

[REDSOXNYG]

the amp setting sound dead on to the original recording! Whats your setup?

[neeley456]

Great job!

[bluesjack82]

sweet guitar!! woohooo...!!! great play man!

[RHCPFitz]

People, this isn't the Frankenstrat. Its a copy of the 5150 Kramer strat.

What amp are you using? Youve got a great sound going on.

[dagbuss123]

What type of amp are you using?

and GREAT JOB you sound amazing!

[tosher777]

your phrasing and timing are a mile out!

[rockboy604]

du spielst fast so wie Eddie

[c3d342]

Great Guitar playing, and a great guitar, But its not an exact replica because if it was you would have a Single Coil Pickup right below the neck and a black pick guard under the one volume knob.

[KRichards0270]

how did you get the guitar!!!! HOW??? I LOVE IT BTW YOU ARE TRUELY AMAZING

[piloneman]

Are you nuts,miracledrug5150?! This guy's amazing!

[beroth1]

You play the harmonics before the chorus so perfectly, I can't figure out how the hell you do it!!

[wanabslash91]

@beroth1 its natrl harmonics u dont hold the string down u just touch it lightly with yur left hand obove the fith fret and pick it

[defleppardfan369]

@beroth1 yea you do it like on the fret or i do lol

[baconman385]

All I see are rants in the comments. ENJOY THE FUCKING VIDEO.

[marianogonzalez89]

You should play "Top Jimmy" xD

[SuperKleeneze]

my guitar tudor has that guitar 2

[mattz0rr]

your a good guitar player, but why the frankenstrat? build your own. youll like it more trust me. thats why van halen even played it, he modified it to his sound. you wont become attached to something that isnt "rightfully" yours, even if you've bought it :)

[GuitarGenius31]

@thtguysean quit being a bitch because hes a higher level than you

[FenderPlayed]

What amp set-up do you have in this video? Nice tone!

[fdhueil]

nice t-shirt!

[zxcvb12716]

[elemental0wnage]

[darkrai90210]

[enonx1]

[irchristo]

good job - keep it up

[davidino894]

the harmonics are awsome but the starting riff is wrong (sorry for my bad english)

[Mongoose095]

i wish i had the 25 grand to get that guitar awesome video

[azazael07]

Do you people know nothing about guitars? Why do you always think a guitar is another guitar. That is a homemade 5150 replica... not a Frankenstrat which is a totally different guitar to the Frankenstrat. Honestly it is so damn obvious it is not the Frankenstrat... jeesh.

[RadioactiveLegos]

I don't think this is the actual retail replica, but it is awesome nonetheless. Funny thing is - the replicas cost $25,000, but Eddie made his for around $500 :P

[IMPISSOFF]

i know its so ironic, Eddie wanted to make something cheap so he wouldnt have to go outta pocket, and they sell for 25k.

[jordemaster8]

25K? lolz dude, you play too much runescape:P just kiddin' dude:D

[Olliiieeeee]

how is saying 25K anything like runescape lol. K means thousand

[thtguysean]

LOL you fail K just not for runescape dumbass

[NerdDavis]

@thtguysean ur mom fails k, ass hole. it was a great cover and u need to get a life.

[Stride278]

ha! wow i can't beleive you'd use such a lame come back XD your mom fails k.. how fucking lame!!

[NerdDavis]

@thtguysean whoops my bad! u were responding! lol FAIL

[Wigzombie]

@RadioactiveLegos I sawit at guitar center at 25,000

[evillord363]

@RadioactiveLegos Lol. NOT even 500 dollors. XD

[Wiixyy]

@RadioactiveLegos less than 500, but your point is dead on.

[MrORLY]

@RadioactiveLegos It's not a replica of any kind. It's a Kramer 5150.

[biglu30]

@RadioactiveLegos ya i thought about turning my P.O.S. strat into one but i wonder whats the point without the same neck style

[evhfrankie]

@RadioactiveLegos not really 500.. more like 180.... haha

[Haydz0293]

@RadioactiveLegos he paid 70 bucks for the neck and 50 for the body if i recall correctly (evh)

[RockGuitarist09]

@RadioactiveLegos $130 actually lol

[RockGuitarist09]

@RadioactiveLegos and from factory rejects

[darthhull85]

@RadioactiveLegos this isnt the guitar fender did the replicas of, but a still a sweet guitar and actually eddie only payed around 200-300 for the original. people on youtube make replicas just as good as fenders but 1/25 of the price. when i get some cash im getting one. i already have the black and white van halen 1 guitar custom ordered. :)

[TreyarchIsGay]

@RadioactiveLegos no shit

[truncale74]

Overall this was great and he played it much better than I, but it seems like the phrasing is off a bit. Anyhow dude, rock on! ♫♪ 5/5

[martijntjah]

i need that guitar did u costum made it

[staylor21rip]

where in the world did you get that guitar

[snoken3]

nice guitar, nice playing!!

[Guglielmospeciale]

You rock man!!!!

[TheFeliciano]

Cool Guitar<3! and nice playing!

[DaanOnderwater]

Damn nice guitar!

[jackdarippah1]

most accurate panama cover ive seen and heard congrats

[NickeyWhitfield]

Check out the version by Kent Carlevi, here on youtube.

[jstringer50]

i definitely like the tone, what amp/ settings are you using?

[Sk8t3rM0nk3y]

where'd u get tht

[Raifo92]

that is definitely not the 25,000 dollar EVH replica. Either a custom painted Kramer or the Charvel EVH models.

[CurtisSalopek]

Your neighbors must love you.

[momopup01]

dude epic!!!!!

[sk8r4punkrock1guitar]

nice tone =D

[ClydeRockwaY]

Not very good... nice but not good =)

[ThatGuyJimmeh]

what type of guitar? its fucken sick, keep playin man

[MrBluesyBoy]

Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstein guitar it's is sold for around $25,000

[kvncldrn]

i heard it was $38,000.

[Andoni666]

that is the fender replica, thats a kramer.

[DrPepperDERF]

kick ass guitar man!!!!

[Shiraz157]

sweet tone

[getapermdoug]

that was kick ass!!!

[MegaJaybee]

i want to paint this old acoustic guitar i have like this i think it would be frickin sick!

[PsykoRetil]

Sounds Very good :D:D

[firebird116]

probably one of the coolest riffs known to man! good job!

[pval74]

its a kramer but fender owns evh so its just a really expensive fender with stripes lol but its such an icon and personally i would pay it because i grew up listening to van halen and had posters of this guitar all over my room and even got some sharpies and made the stripes in my school locker lol

[NESnnn]

Its a 5150....

[Luftwafa]

Is that the $25K Frankenstrat replica? Or your own handiwork? :S

[94fordf350]

its the kramer made model, EVH makes the 25k model, its basically a fender

[rokchick01]

thats not the 25k one, it hasn't got the dud pickup in the bridge position....?

[M13MusicNut]

amazing!!!, nice guitar

[ptchr4evr9]

flawless, or pretty damn close to it, keep on rockin

[92smalls]

AWESOME!!!!!!!! Love the axe, where di you find that man?

[ganjaking187]

is your guitar tuned half a step down?

[DJBuckshot1]

nope its not. just answering for him

[Phailure365]

if you can afford a Frankenstrat can u tell me were u work? im willing to relocate for that kind of cash

[grawesbf2142]

its not the frankenstrat its a kramer baretta (spelling?) check out the live without a net vids and youll see its not the franenstrat

[Fidlerdude]

very sweet, kinda reminds me of the jamziba trio's cover...

[alex91t]

very amazing!

[gerardbiteme]

Hey man, just wondering what sort of amp are you plugging that beautiful baby into?

[temperancing]

thats fucking amazing

[Zsazsa8484]

did you make that frankenstein or did you buy it...cuz a brand new one is 25000....im just wondrin
