You're too kind, thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this, I certainly enjoyed learning and playing it 🙂

Hey brother! Thanks! Yeah I’ll be trying to actually get this channel more consistent this year with more covers as well as instructional stuff.

Frankie Perrella is that you??? My goal is to put out more content this coming year, thanks for the encouragement.

@@GuitarJesse7 heck yeah. Looking forward to it 🤘🎸🔥

Thanks so much!

That's very kind of you to say. I did spend a bit of time really digging into this one, it's always been a favorite of mine.

Spot on the rhythm aspect ... most totally miss that Ed was a phenomenal rhythm guitarist to go along with all his other innovative skill.

@the9011 people seem focused on speed. Ed had speed, but he talked through his guitar. John McLaughlin hit the nail on the head...Eddie conveyed a story...little bends up and down, micro bends bluesy lilts, rhythm and groove in spades, really unmatched. A sense of humour to his playing and composition....and never a quiet moment....not waiting silently for the next fill or solo. Extraordinary playing. Kent Carlevi, on here, is quite close to Ed....he is sadly missed too...check out his channel....Somebody give me, brilliant.

Thank you, that means a lot.

Thank you David, that is so kind. I have loved this song since the album came out when I was a kid and I strove to do it justice.

It is one of my great joys to motivate people to play guitar so I’m glad the video inspired you. God bless!

@@GuitarJesse7 God bless you too!

This song is by Kari Jobe

That is very kind, thanks so much! I think there’s a few “ingredients”, if you will, that contributed to this cover coming out pretty good. Forgive me for rambling on, but my teacher and analytical side was just reflecting on this a bit and perhaps someone will benefit from these thoughts in their own musical journey. Or at least now I have some additional concepts written out that I can share with my students 😀 1) FAMILIARITY. I’ve known this song since it was released in the 90’s. So even though I had never played it on guitar until prepping for this tribute, I had it in my head and could hum the main parts. If you want to cover a more intricate song like this well, regardless of style, know it in your head first. Then work on getting it out to your hands, feet, voice or whatever your instrument requires. 2) EMOTIONAL CONNECTION. I have a strong emotional connection to this song, I’ve loved it since the moment I heard it. So I didn’t just play it, but I put my heart into it and the added fact that it was a tribute to someone that influenced me provided additional inspiration. That’s not really something you can fake, although I would argue that trying to appreciate a song more and at least pretending you really enjoy playing or singing it will probably still get a better result. 3) NUANCE. What makes an artist like Eddie Van Halen and many others great is their nuance in rhythm, vibrato, various articulations, tone, etc. So when you are trying to cover something well you have to pay attention to those things. Truth be told nuance is what makes any musical performance great- whether you are trying to carbon copy someone’s version of a song, or trying to give it your own interpretation. I heard a great example of this on Rick Beato’s channel where he showed Tori Amos doing a cover of “Smell Like Teen Spirit.” It is so original and sounds so good because it has so much of her unique sound and personality in it.

That means a lot- I haven't been able to post content on a regular basis but when i do I hope it is enjoyable and informative in the case of when i teach. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey Biddy, thanks for commenting. So I too was searching for a backing track for a while to make this video and couldn’t find anything. So this is actually the Van Halen track and then I just EQ’d down some of Eddie’s fundamental frequencies and mixed my guitar more dominantly to mask the lead from the original recording. Hope that helps.

Thanks for listening!

Actually it was made for me back in 2002.

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoy this. Feel free to share.

Agreed

Depends who’s listening to it don’t you think?

What an incredibly generous comment. I did indeed put my heart into this one cause I love the song and appreciate Eddie's incredible influence on the guitar. Thanks!

Thanks! It’s for sale if you’re interested.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Yeah the tone came pretty close considering I just used some plugins and didn’t spend much time on it. Take care!

Hi Paulo, thanks for asking. Did you watch my other video of this song that does a lesson and tone discussion afterwards? ruclips.net/video/-Kjndjwqzgg/видео.html I'm not sure what Blackstar amp you have but if you give me some more details I can try to help you get the s similar tone. Do you have any pedals or does the amp have any effects built in?

My amp is a Blackstar ID CORE 10. This amp has modulations, overdrive, supercrunch, delays and reverbs knobs. I have just one pedal, Marshall Jackhammer. My pickups are SD Distortion and Custom 59.

@@paulocoppi4287 here’s a clip of a person that dialed in some different EVH tones on a black star. In the comments they talk about posting some patch files. If that doesn’t work try these general settings - super crunch amp, gain around 2 o clock, modulation set to chorus (low level, not too strong), delay set fairly long (tap quarter note to the song for something that a ballad, shorter for faster songs).

@@GuitarJesse7 Thanks a lot man. I really hope your channel raises quickly cause you're great.

Thanks Paulo

It’s in the “and” of 3. So 1 2 3 “and 4 and “ (let ring). Does that make sense?

Yes thank you
