I wonder how many people understand how much work this musician put into creating this. Unbelievable. Wow.

Many people think of Van Halen as the best at playing solos... in reality his rhythm parts are unmatchable, not technically, but due to the idea he had of the guitar... it was all there, power, groove, tone ... and you are an incredible guitarist, who interprets it at its best:

OMFG!!! I've listened to TONS of Eddie covers over the years, but no one has done a better job of encapsulating the tone, the licks and, especially, the FEEL of Eddie!

6.00 minutes of pure insanity!!! This is brutality!!!! What memories!!!!

If Eddie was alive, he'd be so very proud of you!!! ❤❤❤

Hey Shredders! Thanks for watching. What EVH moments should I immortalise in the next instalment? I think the Sammy era deserves some love…

Damn. Eddie would be proud. I love how seamless the song transitions (and use of downtuner) are.

Awesome tribute to the greatest guitarist to ever walk this earth. RIP Eddie

What the heck! The guitar, the licks, the vibes, the tone of the amp and effects, man you nail it!

1978 Van Halen was my first concert. You just played ten years of my life. Incredible talent and thank you.

Absolutely fantastic playing. A real tribute to the King 👑. From a 55 year old life long Van Halen fan. 😊

I think you got the “tone is in the hands” message that Ed always preached. Excellent.

Eddie van Halen didn't pass away, he just moved to venus where it always rains metal 🤘🤘. But seriously, thank you so much, Sir Edward Van Halen, for the music you gave us. There was never one like you and there will NEVER be another. Thank you for being the legend you were and are, and forever will be. The world of rock/metal was never the same when you entered and it will never be the same when you departed. I love you, sir, you were more than a musician. You were an inspiration, a hero, and a legend, and always will be. I love you, man, Rest easy for me, and God bless.

Thank you for show us in 6 minutes the genius of Eddie Van Halen. Amazing job, Eddie would be proud!

Are we sure that Eddie isn't still alive and he's trolling us with this video? My god, the best covers I've ever seen. Thanks for adding, "Mean Street," a song I think gets overlooked too often. Your attention to every detail of EVH is perfection. Thanks for putting this together and keep it up.

This guy need more attention.... Splendid ❤

No words, this may be the best EVH tribute yet

WOW! That was some dedicated learn'n of all things Eddie. Any Sammy era has to include Finish What Ya Started, and Poundcake!

That riffage during "Mean Street" sends chills up my spine . Nothing touches how awesome that tune is .

This was fantastic. Been an EVH fan all my life and appreciate the tribute.

Dang dude you kick ass! It must have taken a good deal of time to play that well and sound so much like Eddie! I was blown away listening to this medley. Simply amazing!

OMG!!! this is INSANE! one of the best EVH cover medley.

very well done, honest and sincere homage to the immortal Master. as you said, "Eddie will never be conquered" and you've been respectful, i think the Master smiled approvingly 🤘💛🤘

Wow absolutely incredible . I’ve heard a lot of people play Eddie but that was absolutely by far the best I’ve ever heard

Besides the amazing guitar playing, the tone is perfect. Love it

This was totally f****** awesome oh my god what a f****** great job bro bravo bravo rest in peace Eddie can't listen to Van Halen without crying still

Your tone and playing are amazing! You make it look so easy. "I don't ask for permission!" Unchained is, was, has been and always will be my favorite VH song.

This is one that I will watch a hundred times. Incredible playing and the tone is perfect.

Fantastic! You deserve more subscribers. 🤘

You need a contract like right now!!!! Awesome cover of Eddie!!

amazing. eddie could easily be the greatest ever

Killer work Tom! You nailed the EVH tone and licks.🤘🤘💥

Such a kick ass medley!! Excellent tone too. You Rock! 🤘

I don't know if any video I've ever watched has given me goosebumps the way this did. Thank you for sharing this.

Chills! When you get the chills you know its really good! Big EVH fan, saw them in 84'! Superb playing, thank you Mr. Tom!

The way you transition from song to song is awesome!

Great!!!! Greetings from Patagonia Argentina!

Standing ovation❤👏👏👏

Best cover of 'Jump' solo ive heard yet. The timing of that last bit is _almost always_ messed up in covers; subtle, but so obvious when it's wrong. Nicely done 👍

Best 6 continuous minutes of my whole day!!!!

Thanks for reminding me of how truly awesome he was

You don´t know how much I enjoyed this video, Van Halen my favorite rock band ever, thanks

Awesome feel and vibrato !!

Love the on the fly drop D switch at 2:36. Smooth

Pardon my French, but HOLY SH!T! That was absolutely INCREDIBLE!

5150 percent cool , had to sub . Cheers from New Zealand

Wow. That was amazing. Fantastic sound.

❤🎉. Sat he stunned, amazed, in ore.. Then a tear in my eye, thinking of Eddie's passing. Being the age I am, I have every VH vinyl, and then the CD's. ... you awoke my love of every album. Mate, what a tribute. Thank you 😢

This was one of the BEST covers i have listened to. This was REALLY good. Loved it. Love from Sweden😊

Incredible. You absolutely pinned it maestro. I’ve subscribed to you for more great playing

Men ! What a cover ! Great sound, great playing and most of all great feel of Eddie’s playing ! 👍

I'm blown away! You are clearly a dedicated EVH student. Many try, some come close but you kicked ass and took names with this medley. I can't wait for the next installment of the Sammy era. You earned a new subscriber big time! 🤘

Your Medley made me speechless!! Unbelievable. Greetz from GER

I never thought anyone could be just as awesome on eruption great job buddy Rock on

We had VH play in our backyard party in 1974 before any of their own songs were made. They were the #1 backyard garage band in the San Gabriel Valley. It cost us $200 the first time when they played in El Monte Ca. and $300 the second time when the Party in the Desert was busted before it started. I saw them play right after they signed with their record label in 75 or 76 at the Golden West Ballroom in Norwalk Ca. It was a dance hall on Thursday nights for rock and roll and that Thursday night it was a concert that headlined UFO and Van Halen. They both played their first original songs off of their first LP's. It was beyond amazing to hear history being made and nobody knew it at that time. Van Halen definitely was far better than UFO that night, and as history has proven. I am commenting on the Panama video and it's just my opinion...Old fat grandpa lead man that can't sing with a talented tourist back-up band with too many players on stage. When did sweatpants become "Rock-Wear"? I was more than disappointed when I have seen way better cover bands playing at the NASCAR Races in Phoenix Az. Again...This is just my opinion. I have also given advice to a young Chayce Beckham who in the beginning of his songwriting career was into Reggae Music and wrote about what he knew about at the time...Booze, Broads and Blunts. I told his stepdad give him time, he is only writing about what he knows about now. As time went on he would win the American Idol Contest in season 19 in 2021. I hope everyone keeps on rocking and you can like or love whatever kind of music that floats your boat. River Rick out.

This is UNREAL!!! Fantastic job! I love hearing all the riffs back to back

Man that rocked. I’m a fan!!!!

The ultimate tribute.. absolutely banging 👏

Yes! I agree with everyone here, FANTASTIC! Stoked you got Mean Street in there!

The best... VH... 👏👏👏

Best RU-vid cover

Wow! You are extremely talented. Awesome job!

Yes you have inspired me to jam out again. Man I feel the music. Great songs great memories!

AMAZING JOB! Very well done! I'm not familliar with all of Eddie's catalog, but certainly I felt like watching him playing in your play, because you replicate really well his signature swing! Keep on going!

No words! I real celebration to Mr. Eddie!!!!!

That was amazing! I could listen to this all day! Thanks for the generosity of sharing the Helix preset and backing track as well!

I watched the whole thing ! Trust me, that never happens ! Mesmerizing stuff !

Good heavens!!! That was INCREDIBLE!!!!

Dude is absolutely brilliant at one minute. Love you man. Good job.

Hell of a job!! Edward would be proud of ya Man!!!

Hell yeah!! Keep on rocking out the EVH licks & tricks

Great transitions, awesome tone and an amazing show of dedication to not just play the licks but also capture so many of the nuances in Ed's playing. I found myself watching your picking hand just as much as the fretting hand, very nice work!

Superb, and the sound is spot on.

I've never heard anyone emulate EVHs tone and touch like this before. His screaming pinch harmonics were never properly duplicated until now. Bravo!

Lookin great dude! impossible to listen to this stuff and not feel some type of way, keep it up!!!

The best EVH playing other than Ed himself. Amazing. Thank you!

Dang I needed that Jump video segment so badly junior year in high school battle of the bands…

To be able to pick up a guitar and do what you do is a blessing from heaven above. Fantastic!

The most wicked EVH chops I've seen! I bought an EVH 'frankenstrat' after watching this.

Mindblowing, as always

Mean street is one of my fav from evh, good playlist

I especially loved that really cool section, you know that bit, the part that is awesome and everyone raves about!!!

Tears to my eyes with fond memories, and very inspiring. Thank you.

BEST EVER! AWESOME!!!

Bravo well done. Eddie was a freaking genius

Wouah ! Mais quel plaisir de te voir jouer comme Eddie !! Merci pour ce moment magique !

Your rendition of Eddie Van Halen solos was absolutely mind-blowing You captured his signature style and technique flawlessly. A true guitar virtuoso Cheers

WOW! That was AMAZING! Thank you for doing this!

Beyond being incredibly creative and innovative, EVH had an incredible sense of rhythm and timing. If a guitar solo had to make the biggest statement in the shortest amount of time, it's hard to top the 'Beat it' solo. 'Push Comes To Shove' is also a fave.

Merci pour ce moment 🙏 Pour moi, EVH laissera une trace dans l’histoire de la guitare beaucoup plus importante que celle de Jimi… qui reste une influence majeure de bon nombre de guitariste plus de 50 ans après sa mort… Jimi était un précurseur certes, de génie, mais EVH était un véritable génie 🙏

Tone, accuracy, swagger!!! 🤯

Excellent tribute to the GOAT

Wow, you nailed it. The Tone, the Technique.... Just everything. Nice Greetings from Germany 🤟🤟🤟

Spot on renditions of MR EDWARD VAN HALEN guitar work and this is coming from a true VAN HALEN fan from 78 to 84 ŵhen i first heard running with the devil and then ERUPTION i was hooked best band that ever formed the chemistry between all band members was phenomenal the music was dynamic in your face explosion nuclear bomb rock! RIP MR EDWARD VAN HALEN i and all wish you were still here !😢

Thank you for your skills and creativity. This has brought so much happiness and memories and the play list and bridges to connect the songs were perfect too.

Outstanding, you deserve to own that guitar.

I love this so much! Every now and then I meet someone who doesn't know his work.... I could use this to showcase the awesomeness of VH

When I hear these licks and the scale of all the sounds I think Eddy was out of this world for me he will always be number 1.

Simply Awesome!!!! Eddie would be proud!!!!
