For The Love Of God - Steve Vai (M3RKMUS1C Cover) 

*LIKE* this video for more Guitar Covers! (つ°ヮ°)つ ♪♬ Here's the cover in the original tuning if ya wanna check it out! -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FuXaOl0GUUs.html

I remember this channel being made whenI was 13. I remember the huge hiatus on this channel. But I'm glad it's back to semi-regular uploads. Eric is the reason I started playing guitar and looking back on his old videos gives me the nostalgia and motivation I often lack nowadays.

For The Love of God is the first Steve Vai song I heard and I absolutely fell in love with Steve Vai amazing cover.

Not a huge Vai fan but this is one exception absolutely beautiful Erik ♥️🔥

I am so glad to see that guitar again imo the best looking jem ever released. Thank you for blessing my day bro!

FINALLY, HE DID IT! what a gorgeous guitar!

Easily the best Steve Vai song out there, you killed it man

i just saw Steve Vai play this song yesterday live in my hometown and that guy is living legend

Very very talented, You played your instrument perfectly with your own flair no listener could ask for more. Sounds so so good. Great tone ❤️

That was a damn good Vai cover, amigo!

While I do love watching people try and play songs note-for-note, adding your own style to this song is SICK!!!🔥🔥🔥

definitely not as clean as vai himself, but I love the way you play a lot of the parts! feels like a more personal cover then just playing it straight very lovely! :)

Fuck yeah Steve Vai is so badass. This cover is awesome. Wish I could play that good.

Would absolutely love to hear a dream theater cover! Keep up the great work

Man finally switched to the bridge pickup for the first time in his life

I HAVE TO SEE YOU IN A WORLD'S BIGGEST SHRED COLLAB MERKY BOYO

Higher pitch but still pretty solid, good job man 👍🏾

M3RK needs to be on the new Jared Dines shred collab!! \m/

You already know this is one of merks fav songs ❤️

Ight bet now time to learn this by ear

A cover of Vai’s song The Animal would be great

Definitely gonna learn some of that 😱😍🤘🏽🤘🏽

Approved. You've got the skills. flawless

Perfect cover Erik!

Just saw him live yesterday, best as always. At berklee now, big reason Is cause of him, and you too!

Tbh, i think your version sounds better to me, keep it up king

Cool #9 I think would be great one to cover, especially some of the live versions. also i miss the js2480 with the sustainer :(

Yo just to tell you this. I got the Ibanez JemJR 3 days ago and my guitar teacher claimed it because he loved it so much xD. Thanks for reccomending that JEM of an instrument :)

Do you think you'll ever cover the Steve vai solo in ego death?

You need to post more guitar videos M3RK, you seriously have mad talent mane!

It'd be great to have a video of you jamming with the TOD10N! Want to get one so bad, eletric nylon guitars sound so c r i s p
