I've had the honor to have met Eddie several times and just watching this person play the guitar looked like Eddie's fingers.... Shaking hands with Eddie was like shaking hands with channel locks they were so strong..... His finger muscles had muscles ..... Miss you buddy and to the person playing guitar to this I'm sure the main man is smiling at you.....

Eddie was one of one, there will never be another, I really miss him, his rhythm sense was out of this world, I wish "Right Now" was also in this medley.

The song 5150 is such a unique masterpiece!! That’s easily my favorite Van Hagar song. Eddie was a genius gift to the world. RIP Eddie your fans love you.

God I miss Eddie so much, these songs will never get old.

damn..5150 is just the best guitar song ever written

The TONE on that 5150 single-pickup guitar is fkng gorgeous. Captures that Eddie mood beautifully.

Awesome. Ed was a tremendous song writer. He went from the baddest gunslinger in town to a true master of music as he matured.

Guitarist from Melbourne here. Just discovered you brutha. Very cool mate. One thing that really stands out here apart from your obvious technical prowess is the videography, style (blacked out background etc) & editing. Well done man, original, mega quality & ultra effective.

No Humans Being or Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do... those are two of the best Van Hagar era songs right here.

Bravo! Excellent job, mate. The tone, the technique, and the research that must've went into doing this...WOW!

I'd just like to say the following!! Congratulations!!! Another 15 : 15 of pure art, history, nostalgia, and above all immortality!! Excellent performance!! Congratulations!!! RIP Eddie!!

Sitting here at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, taking a break, having a few drinks, thoroughly enjoying your playing, honoring Van Hagar! What a treat. Your dedication has paid off! I hope your close friends and family enjoy this as much as a stranger does. (I say that because none of my friends and family enjoy my content) Awesome time relaxing and enjoying, peace:)

Brilliant works. 5150 was the album that introduced me to rock music. So hearing these guitar riffs and solos are really *music in my ears* 🤣❤️🙏

You killed it, glad some other folks appreciate’s his genius as much as I do. Grew up listening to him remember when 1984 came out and jump was all over MTV. I was glued to the TV I started playing because of him. You are on another playing field though. Great job.

This was such a pleasure to watch. Eddie was by far the best. And this era of VH was so musically productive. So glad I lived it.

I was holding off on the LIKE button till I saw Finish What Ya Started... I knew you'd do it. And then you hit my two suggestions (from the last vid) back-to-back. I have no idea how you figure these out, but they are a treat!

~ Very Simply … A Masterpiece Tom * Truly A Beautiful Tribute Of What Eddie Gave To Us * So Many Awesome Parts Of This Video * Love The White Strat With The PRS Neck * Don’t Ever Finish What Ya Started Here Tom, You’ve Got The Gift, And I Know That Eddie Is Smile’n From Up Above *

Great to see the amazing riffs of the Hagar era that are often overlooked brilliance, as well as doing justice to them in this clip!!! Great playing

Love Walks In, one of the most beautiful solos ever played and you nailed it!

you are making me want that Purple and Gold Wolfgang.

Eddie was a genius !!! Best guitarist ever !!!

Tom, appreciate the massive effort putting this comp together. Outstanding outcome!

Wow, love that Wolfgang tone on that Poundcake album.

The technique, the tone, the guitars. Just awesome.

Enjoyed the video immensely. The guitar tone needs some attention. Could’ve used your smile to show how much fun and joy playing his music brings. Thanks for paying homage to my hero.

It shows Eddie Van Halen's genius and Your Brilliant playing! Great Job.

Great playing man !!! I love Eddies playing! The first time i heard VH 1 when it first came out( I'm old..i know,i know!!!😂) i thought "this must be an alien,because there is no way that a human being can play that way!) I eventually got to the point where i could play a fairly close approximation of his songs after countless 1000s of hours as a kid practicing...There will never be another one like him....He sent a whole generation of kids running to the music store to try play guitar....He was so cool.....smiling away while blazing through a solo with his cigarette stuck on his headstock....his playing was so unique,no one heard anything like it at the time.....as if that wasnt enough of an accomplishment,he actually built his own guitars! ..and just like his playing,it was uniquely his own creation. This is just my opinion,but i never fell in love with the music that he created with Sammy as much as the Dave stuff.....Sammy is a much better singer,but Daves voice was so unique to their sound,along with his attitude and showmanship....he launched the careers of countless blonde Lady killin'' front men. I always liked Eddies sound better with Dave as well...VH 1 and Fair Warning are as close to perfection as i can imagine....Those albums captured his "brown sound" the most imho... When he got to the Sammy era,his guitar became too "processed" sounding and he got too whammy bar happy....once again, just my opinion.... I remember when we used to await the next VH album to see what kind of cool ,new inventive thing he would come up with on the little solo pieces...and he never disappointed us......Eruption,Spanish Fly,the beginning of Mean Street,Cathedral,Little Guitars,etc......i cant imagine how another guitarist could come along and inspire as well as innovate to the level that King Edward did.....God broke the mold with Eddie!

LOVE Van Hagar! My favorite period. The best songs.

Very nice. Loved that you included the song 5150 and a very underrated EVH solo in Mine all Mine.

Been following you for a couple of months..Gotta hand it to you, the technical presentation, top shelf!

Criticism: -Right Now is missing. -That PRS Silversky is a bit too crunchy for the low gain riffs, I'm pretty sure neck and bridge humbuckers in parallel with a volume knob pulled back works better. Notable exception is Finish what ya Started where the PRS was the right tool. But this is nitpicking, I mean your playing is stellar and it all sounds fantastic

Love these Medley's! You've a serious level of skill. Very impressive.

Each nuance and every detail faithfully reflects not only Ed’s unique vision and abilities, but your exceptional character and passion combined with your extraordinary intellect, tireless work ethic, and extreme talent as well. Brilliant job, Tom! Truly.

Long live the king EVH, very fortunate to see them Several times first time 1980 invasion feels like yesterday 43 years later

So good! The Wolfgang really pops!

I always knew Eddie was one of a kind (way ahead of his time) a true pioneer, and trend setter (not a copycat) and the greatest rock electric guitarist in the world. Nothing has changed. We miss him.

That purple wolfie in that lighting is prolly the most gorgeous quilt top I've ever seen. 🤯

Eddie had this power to sound heavy and so tastefully danceable...

Absolutely fantastic tribute. Brilliantly played 🤘🏼

Man, this is absolutely INSANE!!

We love Edward for sure.

OMG this is OUTSTANDING

Awesome playing and great video to match! Excellence all the way around. 🔥

That was a whole heap of awesome!

Love this!!! Always preferred DLR, but it never really mattered as long as Eddie was on the guitar!!! A truly incredible talent!! I could have even dealt with Vince Neil singing as long as King Edward was there!!! RIP Eddie!! There will never be another!!!

I have tears in my eyes listening to this. You nailed it. Thank you for sharing this. I will come back to it a lot!

So Amazing! Love EVH!🎸🎸🎸

Nicely done, One of the best van hagar medley out thier ( playing is excellent)

That was incredible! Waiting for part 3.

That was magical

Excellent covers! 2 thumbs up sir!❤🎉❤

Amazing, it’s like Eddie’s arms appear out of the blackness and play his songs for us.

You did it!!! Master!! ❤

wow man! this was awesome!!!great covers of the master, EVH!!

なんて綺麗なサウンド、、 感激しました😊

Gänsehaut, der Wahnsinn, Spitze

Great job on this whole video. I like how you included Feels So Good and Can't Stop Loving You. I've always felt that those are two of his more underrated solos.

Very well done, some of my favorites!

Beautiful

This is beautiful. I love the evolution of EVH. All of his versions were great. This version of VH had such a wonderful distinct tone and approach. It could be really chimey and then flip the switch and be as dirty as dirty gets. I know creation of his Peavey 5150 amp and then the new guitar design played into his sound. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us all!

amazing tribute .much love thankyou

Killer! Thank you for putting this together.

Go Tommy! Very nice covers! Thank you for keeping Eddie’s work alive!

Outstanding!

I said it for 30 years. I was a fan of the man’s music. Didn’t really care about the lyrics. Thank you for posting. EVH could have put out an all instrumental album. I would have been the first on line to buy it.

I loved this. Thanks for putting it together.

FANTASTOC !!!!

Dude this is fantastic, great tone and feel

Bravo Tom! 👏. You nailed a lot of the Sammy era guitar tones as well!

BRILLIANT...More!!!

Thank you. You made that look so easy.

Your guitars sound amazing. Great job playing. Loved this

Awesome work!

What a great job !!! Eddie's masterful job creating great music His super creations and harmonics , tapping , chords and rhythms were so masterful!!!! Thanks for the video I'll look into your course !! Thanks!

Tremendous!!!!!

Awesome!!! Wow, unpriceable! Thanks a ton dude and congratulations for this perfect medley!

Brilliant!

This is really great and so well done. Cheers!!

Glad to see someone else appreciates Eds genius during the Hagar era. 🤟 I almost forgot. Stellar Job on the video and music.

Dude, very nice. To be able to play well enough to replicate just one of Eddies songs is a major achievement much less this many. I played a little in my younger days, just enough to sit and watch anyone play at this level is really cool. Its like someone with a private pilots license tagging along in the jumpseat with me at work one night. I get what that feels like.

Great job !👏👏👏

Fantastico, ti ringrazio, adoro Eddy da 50 anni , sei stato un grande. Saluti Paolo dall Italia

Great video. Hagar-era VH deserves more love from the YT guitar community. More like this!!!

Well done! Excellent covers!! 👍🏻

Fantastic!!!❤

Eddie really was in a class all by himself.

Awesome!
