Van Halen - Poundcake

Getting back to what you all asked me to. Take 1 on my Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Trans Amber guitar.

[TheLonote]

If I had my eyes closed, I'd swear Eddie was playing. GREAT COVER!!!

[chocolatedude]

RIP the greatest guitar player in the world :(

[TheFirebladeRR]

such a serious songs played with such skill, then then the green martian space gun makes an apearance...

[pitchingnrx]

Sounds like Mario grabbing tons of coins...well done!

[imrahil]

Whenever I see someone playing Van Halen it gets clear to me how far from a true musician I'm.

You need to have music flowing through your soul if want to find those sounds and timing.

You're brilliant.

[brunobrucoliliberatore]

When you see the camera shaking due to the amps volume, you know its done right. Well done!!!

[billyraybar]

Never appreciated how dope the guiitar in this song is until now. The rhythm grabs you.

[ajluvzlondon]

Sorr, y late to the party! You just completely nailed it my friend. Big respect. It's such a pleasure watching your videos because in a way it shows how EVH's genius actually plays out....his soul was one of a kind...we were lucky to be alive in the EVH era.

[anakina]

All I can say isn't enough. Thank you for posting a quality video. Eddie would smile with your pitch perfect cover. Captured all the nuances perfectly. Hope things are going well for you.

THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE COVER EVER!!! GOOD JOB!!!

[RyanMaziarz]

Great ear on the beginning of the solo - really the only cover I've seen that has it right. Most people try to do weird stuff with pinch harmonics down low for that whole part. I do think the first B bent to C# with the pinch harmonic is actually on the G string at the 4th fret though and then slides up to 9 for the tap harmonics. He always starts with that 4th fret note on the live versions and taps lower harmonics at 9 and 11 - I figure it's probably the same on the recording. Odd that he never did the 9th fret stuff live - definitely what it is on the album though.

[scottiem]

Awesome job. I was cracking up every time you brought out the “drill”.

[daniel_w-jndc]

van halen is my inspiration and dude YOU JUST FUCKING NAILED IT SPOT ON!! sounds like the original song and it put a smile on my face, my day is made!! :D

[Johnny-lrjt]

I've got a fever. And the prescription is....more POWER DRILL.

[chadhendrixson]

Beautiful guitar as well as the sounds coming from it. U made that baby cry. Awesome man!

[aarronwilliams]

Got to be the best cover I've seen ever

[DIRTKNAPFX]

I've always been a huge EVH fan, but until i watched you playing his stuff, it just hit me how busy but tasteful he is. Great work!

[djwhish]

Dude.... I'm speechless. I just peeled my chin off of my cold garage floor so I could go ban inside. I started listening and I couldn't do anything to it was over. Incredible! Makes me wish you lived in St. Louis so I could jam with you. Hands down the best VH player. I really respect you playing the correct guitars following along with Ed's changes through the years. Thanks for sharing your talent. Inspiration to pick my ax's back up after 20 years.

[flyingdutchman]

HOLY SHIT! I had no idea this song was like this. Well done. You are one bad ass guitar player my friend
