I honestly don't know how anybody can give him a thumbs down. He is one of the only guitar players I've ever seen that nails every single note and pays attention to every little nuance detail of the songs he plays. He is a true talent. All of you thumbs down people are merely jealous. Keep the awesomeness coming Satsuma, you are a master!
I dig it, but how do you come up with your own style/uniquness when you focus intently on mimicking someone else??? Not meant to be a slight, just curious, I mean EVH probably THE most popular guy to emulate.
@@dougroberts3876 Eddie spent hours on end emulating Ritchie Blackmore, Billy Gibbons, Eric Clapton, and every other guitarist that impressed him as a teenager. He played classical sonatas flawlessly... I think that answers your question, but what you're forgetting is that some people aren't trying to create their own sound like EVH was. What I'm saying is this guy is just having fun with his striped guitar and you're probably looking too much into it.
The best part of these videos: They're recorded in some dark Japanese diner, by a guy wearing army/navy clothes! It just goes to show you that there are people out there in the world that can completely school you, musically, and you'd never know it. So many arrogant posers, with their endless array of electronics and gadgets and idiotic clothes and hairstyles-- and then there's this dude, in a diner, effortlessly pulling out sounds from his guitar that the great ocean of mediocre players could only dream of doing. Good for you!
i know a few guys like this. straight prodigy, and no one knows of them. then you see what's out there..... but it's all good. most true guitar hero's do their work in the shadows of low key spots i have found.
+Ed M Agreed, Satsuma is my goto reference for evh guitar instruction. Not only does he execute flawlessly, he plays these songs the correct way as opposed to the "easy" way. If you compare his fingering to most other covers on YT you'll see the difference.
The best cover version of this song on RUclips. It's the attitude and feel this guy nails more than anything. Eddie played with a heck of a fire on this LP.
I read a quote from Eddie stating that this was his dark album. He was going through a bunch of crap and he let it all out in the song writing for this music. It definitely shows.....he needs to get pissed again...lol
This looks like a faithful note for note recreation, very impressive work. He's clearly worn out his record player listening to this track til perfection, awesome dude!
Awesome playing. Not to take anything away from this dude but, it's the writing. Folks can copy all they want, but exit the bathroom (EVH sometimes did) with a gem like this? Damn.
Sweet perfection yet again, brother! You make me want to learn every Van Halen tune! And I was never a big fan until lately! Kudos to you for the inspiration! Nice! :) Doctor Rocker :)
That's just amazing that you nailed each nuance so well and close to Eddie's original version. I'm sure it took lots of hours practice. You have a gift of talent and an ear that's astounding. Excellent work.
holy shittttttt...anyone that doesn't see the perfection here is either deaf,dumb and or blind.this is not an easy song to play which is why you NEVER see anyone but Eddie playing it like this. Dude...2 words...YOU'RE AWESOME!
it's like a superhero. Cooks okonomiyaki as a mortal being, then transforms into asskicker extraordinaire Ed axeslinger. Next time I'm in Osaka? I hope to meet you. Great work. I'm not a big fan of the VanHagar stuff, but you execute that perfectly as well. ありがとうと さつま様
U sure this aint Eddie playing...he he...you are the BEST I have ever seen..man..I dont know how many hours it took you to learn all of this..but...I would trade my last days alive to play like this...
Cool is written big here ... all those licks .... Mean streets just sounds so damn cool . Jaw dropping super cool Rock that makes you stand up and notice.. ..
Nice job. What a great album, Fair Warning. I've heard that song a billion times so it's cool to see a well done cover. Eddie Van Halen is correct, Fair Warning is their best album ever.
Nice work kid..nicely done. I was just sitting here thinking what if I had a youtube when I was learning to play. I'm 46 and I've been playing since I'm about 12 years old and man if we had a youtube back then???? Holy God! You nailed it. Keep up the work and God bless...

Lacking groove and feel

PROBABLY BECAUSE HES NOT PLUGGED IN LOL
Completely agree!👍

You're only as good as you allow yourself to be
james mason, lol u triggered :D

I tried to dine there that same night but the Yakusa barred me. Now talk about an arrogant dude.
@@james-497 lol your mad
I don't give a fuck what anyone else says. THIS GUY is the best rock guitar cover player I have ever seen, on RUclips or anywhere else.
I really think you are right about this. Amazing.
Read my comment.
Mike Cahill Isn't he just amazing? He gets Eddie's tone down perfect.

You guys should check out Jacob deraps.
Van Halen at the height of their creative power...
You got that right. But it died in 1985.
Absolutely nailed it!!
Great playing.
The thing I loved about Eddie Van Halen was his creativity. He WROTE this!!
Eddy is truly a genius with the guitar! Nobody is better, not Steve vai, not Jimmy Hendrix. By the way great job covering it.
If Jimi could see this I'm sure he'd be smiling from ear to ear! 😊
Wow, absolutely amazing! Perfection right there
Eddie would be proud! Rest Easy EVH
That piece is insane, I've been playing for over 30 years, Still haven't even attempted to accomplish this piece, Killer playing!!
I love when this guy plays during his lunch break
Best Guitar player for Van Halen covers, and many other greats. Satsuma is totally amazing!
すげ〜！！！
エディ以外で、この曲弾ける人初めてみました！
Never understood why Mean Streets did not make it on Van Halen's Greatest Hits Vol.1
there are greatest hit and " best of" albums , this older van halen was barley on the charts cept for jaimies cryin or dance the gay away
@@oiyabastard bit late but what the f is dance the gay away? 😹😹😹😹
ozzy it’s his way of saying he doesn’t like Dance The Night Away
outstanding job - one of the greatest guitar rifs in rock
It's mind blowing that Eddy is able put all this in a song. Every sound, every echo compliments the other harmoniously.
Lately I'm soaking up everything that is EVH. This guy is top of the list!
Same
Been watching this video for years and still can't get over how good this dude is, wish i could play like that.
First time watching this. I'm saying to myself outloud, No Fking Way?!!!!!!
Obviously no one is goin to sound better on this song then EDV himself but this guy did a hell of a job. Didn’t expect it to be this good!
One of the overlooked and quite possibly the best Van Halen song ever.
細かいフレーズまで完璧に再現されていますね！
他の曲もそうだけど、サウンドまでコピーしてるから凄いな。
lol i love how this guy is sitting in some random chinese restaurant XD
Peter Matthew Japanese you mean xD
He probably owns the place.
Peter Stewart not every Asian is Chinese. 🙄
finally someone on you tube that plays the song CORRECTLY! Nice job man
Outstanding cover. You rock !
The best cover version of this song on RUclips. It's the attitude and feel this guy nails more than anything. Eddie played with a heck of a fire on this LP.
I read a quote from Eddie stating that this was his dark album. He was going through a bunch of crap and he let it all out in the song writing for this music. It definitely shows.....he needs to get pissed again...lol
Without the video everyone would say that this is a rare live-version by Eddie himself! Excelent as usual and the tone is just fantastic!
Nice job dude! Great cover!!
Love the flying Eddie shirt... oh and the guitar playing was sick! Fair Warning what a great album.
Not only did you nail every nuance and detail, but you nailed the tone! Well done!
REALLY enjoyed this! Awesome job man.
Truly a complete master of your instrument Sastsuma.
God damn best cover I’ve ever seen of any song
This was the genious of EVH, Hands down their best album. IMHO
Playing like the master himself.... I dig it....
This looks like a faithful note for note recreation, very impressive work. He's clearly worn out his record player listening to this track til perfection, awesome dude!
Beyond talent! RIP Eddie.
Awesome. Frigging awesome.
I always liked the last minute of this song best - would have liked to hear this part go on forever! Enjoyed this cover version too - well done!!
You'd be sooo Fun to Jam with Braddah.......Who in the world is giving Thumbs Down??? it's BS!!! This Dude ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!
Beautiful job man! Long live King Eddie!
Awesome playing. Not to take anything away from this dude but, it's the writing. Folks can copy all they want, but exit the bathroom (EVH sometimes did) with a gem like this? Damn.
There’s so little video of Eddie’s guitar work especially on the early songs, that seeing this, so accurately reproduced, is absolutely amazing!
You are a true badass
who ever you are-simply brilliant and amazing playing!
Fantastic!!! You nailed it!! My favorite song by VH, and I am very critical on covers... but man... you nailed it!! Great job!!
Satsuma, Arigatō. You are a complete bad ass!
Amazing. Now Satsuma needs to combine this vid with his recent attempt to have the perfect cover version.
Brings back memories of cranking up Van Halen to the Max........ This song jams and this guy has got it. Great Job.
Eddie bled out with his licks. Damn Genious
I actually wasn't a fan of this song till I saw this cover... now I must learn it
Sweet perfection yet again, brother! You make me want to learn every Van Halen tune! And I was never a big fan until lately! Kudos to you for the inspiration! Nice! :) Doctor Rocker :)
The Most accurate I've seen so far...........
this is one of my fav VH songs such a good riff
Outrageous. Jozou desu ne!
gritty edge of dirty reality, you captured "MEAN" big time ! "I'm talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen ..." superb playing man !!!
Your really good. I love watching your videos. However I am wondering........do you keep all your guitars at that restaurant? lol
I watch alot of guitar videos your hands down the best man no shit, you can play with the best!
I'm just now watching this, but this young man is incredibly talented. Great tone, as well!
That's just amazing that you nailed each nuance so well and close to Eddie's original version. I'm sure it took lots of hours practice. You have a gift of talent and an ear that's astounding. Excellent work.
holy shittttttt...anyone that doesn't see the perfection here is either deaf,dumb and or blind.this is not an easy song to play which is why you NEVER see anyone but Eddie playing it like this.
Dude...2 words...YOU'RE AWESOME!
Another superb cover Satsuma3042! How many can this guy nail cold?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
it's like a superhero. Cooks okonomiyaki as a mortal being, then transforms into asskicker extraordinaire Ed axeslinger. Next time I'm in Osaka? I hope to meet you. Great work. I'm not a big fan of the VanHagar stuff, but you execute that perfectly as well. ありがとうと さつま様
U sure this aint Eddie playing...he he...you are the BEST I have ever seen..man..I dont know how many hours it took you to learn all of this..but...I would trade my last days alive to play like this...
One on my all time fav VH songs and you NAILED it. But, seriously, what else is new?
Bravo sir.
4,000 hours of practice and I got this song down like this guy !
So a lot of people try to imitate Eddie. Some get close, many fall short. You Fckin nailed it!
Cool is written big here ... all those licks .... Mean streets just sounds so damn cool . Jaw dropping super cool Rock that makes you stand up and notice.. ..
Such great attention to detail, insane technique, and flawless playing. Great cover!
Pleasure to see
This was so sick, I need a penicillin shot just from watching it. LOVE being able to see this without camera or player movement, well done!
I enjoyed this. Good job! I have an 84 Kramer. It needs some work done to it, but I love the way it sounds. With some effects it kicks ass!
Beyond badass! This was awesome. Completely spot on target on all of it.
My friend! That was so incredible! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!
Dude you totally nailed it! fantastic! Love it.
Great job...Eddie did a lot of innovate stuff on this album. It's cool to see how it's actually played...
great work man... sounds as dead on as can be live one person ,without multi tracking badass work...
You rock dude! You really nailed it!
eddie would be extremely proud! awesome job bro!
Sorry for doubting you ,I checked out some of your other videos and you are the man !!
Nice!
that intro riff is nuts, soft hands for sure
Wow!!!
I've been trying to play guitar for....fuck,22 years,I know I play like shit but after watching this video I can't play at all😭
Nice job. What a great album, Fair Warning. I've heard that song a billion times so it's cool to see a well done cover. Eddie Van Halen is correct, Fair Warning is their best album ever.
Did Eddie say he thought this was their best?
It took 2 minutes for me to decide to subscribe this guy. Woooooooo, bravo!!!
Absolutely amazing!
Hey SATSUMA3042 You Rock Dude, Amazing! Keep up the good work!
I haven't been a huge VH fan for years but I still love the songs off Fair Warning and Women and Children First! Very under rated albums!!
Mad skills, always wonder where these guys wind up? just playing for fun or are you gigging with a band somewhere? Sunset? : )
Nice work kid..nicely done. I was just sitting here thinking what if I had a youtube when I was learning to play. I'm 46 and I've been playing since I'm about 12 years old and man if we had a youtube back then???? Holy God! You nailed it. Keep up the work and God bless...
I like the Under Armour logo on the guitar very subtle. The guitar playing is fabulous
The tone makes me shiver.
great job on your videos
cook yourself a burger, down it with a brew and start a tour.... best guitarist i've seen! WOW!
Oh yeah Van Halen songs!!!
Very good. Pretty much "note for note". I wish he was the guitarist in my band. lol :) Thanks for the upload.....Love it! sj~13
SATSUMA is the god of guitar. he will be famous
Good God - that was fantastic!! Real insight to Eddie's brilliance.
From one Van Halen fan to another.. well done!
Man you're amazing...Sound always amazing, tone always amazing, guitar playing always amazing....
素晴らしい演奏
