When I was 14 I heard Eddie Van Halen play for the first time and his playing changed my world. From transcribing his iconic 'Beat It' solo at school to attempting his signature techniques on the acoustic guitar.
I hadn't played guitar for 2 months due to '2020'. Upon hearing the shocking news of Eddie's passing the impulse to pick up the guitar again came pouring out. There was a great video of Ed going around telling a young fan to 'play music, just play music man'. I stayed up until 6am that night just playing.
This is made with 100% love and sincerity. It's a free download with no monetisation or ads on the video (unless the Van Halen publisher wants them)
I wanted to create a tribute in honour of a legend that inspired so many players out there and I hope I've done it justice. Maybe it will inspire you to play too.
RIP EVH

This Guy made a review on Mike Dawes
Welcome to the new subscribers recently making their way over from Michael’s reaction vid! You are most welcome and I hope you enjoy the pieces x
Thank you Mike. I'm a new subscriber ! I bought your last album and saw the Michael Palmisano reaction vid !!! I also saw and heard a lot of Magics there = Your talent, skill, your unbelievable tribute to EVH, the music, sharing, friendship, love from youy heart, respect ... Deep from my heart, I 'm just about to dry some tears, because i do not know any guitar player like you and it's really emotionnal. God bless you Mike
Effortless, M8 looking forward to future videos 👌
you are a bad man !!
This was incredible inspirational and I'm goint to go buy a guitar asap
Yep, new subscriber courtesy of Mike's video. Amazing arrangement. I'm an instant fan.
I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years and any musician knows how incredible this is. Why would anyone give this a thumbs down??
ive been thinking about any proper reason... there isnt one , its hate in the presence of love.
The only reason is mentioned in one of the songs of Queen, a beautiful one by the way.. Jealousy.
Any RUclips video worth watching has dislikes. Besides, do you even have the extension to be sure? Right now, I'm seeing 179. Insignificant compared to 35 fuckin thousand likes 🤣
They probably can't deal with the lack of David Lee vocals, the wankers!
Primarily jealousy.
Thanks Rick Beato for introducing your music army to Mike. Great stuff!
Appreciating the nice response to my tribute, folks. I'm playing my only LIVE STREAMING CONCERT on Sunday (Nov 1st) and I think I'll debut this. Wish me luck as it's pretty hard on the fingers!
You can get tickets from my website in the description, also my live album came out today. Yay. This isn't on it of course, but you can watch me fumble through it on Sunday. Love ya x
Good luck I doubt you'll fumble through anything As a intermediate guitar player that was both inspiring and humbling all at the same time.Dont know if I should grab my guitar and play it and never stop or put it into the fireplace.
@@heatheraskew2949 We all Guitars fools are in Shock and Awe. Burn one guitar saying Hail Mary, summoning the Gods for his Gifts and Talents and keep Trying, Practicing, Learning and Enjoying playing your other guitars. It's not in the Goal, the Bless is on the Never ending Travel towards it. Mike is only showing us Glorious places where we could aspire to go to.
Thanks Mike !!!!!!
Heather: pls don t stop Playing and the Joy of it.
;-)
Wow..Just wow! That was so amazingly good! 👏❤
This is fantastic!!!!!!!!!
Dude words cant express my thanks and joy. Peace. JFW
Somewhere up above Eddie is grinning from ear to ear, He's digging this
Somewhere up there God is trying to remember how he made Mike so awesome
My jaw has been stuck to the floor for the last 10 minutes. I can't close my mouth!! I don't think I have EVER seen anyone with such a TOTAL control of their musical instrument - and believe me, having lived in Granada, Spain for many years, I have seen no shortage of astonishing guitarists. This guy is quite simply beyond belief - not just his technical mastery, but his lyrical interpretation of what was a nice rock piece, into a work of art! Almost lost for words...
Dude, I'm a keyboard player...I know this solo in my sleep, and everybody plays it wrong. You nailed it harder than anybody else's keyboard versions do. brought a tear to my eye.
Some people are just ridiculously talented and honed musicians. Like this esteemed Gentleman.
@@halfindy the myth of talent
@@halfindy talented + hardworking....he didn't get here without serious hardwork and determination..
@@gargeebhattacharjee8681 I mean they said that, hone means to perfect a skill over time. They're not claiming he got here with talent alone. Learn to read
@@sk8ratz462 yep.
Missed the honed.
Sorry. My bad.
Thanks for pointing it out.
What do you do when a legend passes?
You honour him.
I'm sure this would have made him smile as it did me .
Thx eddie for great songs, riffs, sounds and bla bla.. and thx mike for this beautiful fingerstyle
after 5 months of intense daily practice, i'm proud to say that I now also have cool black tape on my guitar
🤣
This comment is as eloquent to that of which it Precedes.
Bravo Sir. Bravo. 👏👏👏
Hahahaha
I was using double sided tape that is my excuse for my abject failure
At 70 years of age I have seen live and listened on record to many of the greats on both electric and acoustic guitar. I only came across Mike a few short months ago and it was a jaw dropping moment, absolutely astonishing technique and musicality. A truly amazing talent!
Dawes does a great job. Check out Michael Hedges, "Raggamuffin". I think you will enjoy it.
I saw Mike live in England with another middle-aged dad and his guitar-playing son, and mine, both 9yo. Mike noticed how much the kids were loving it, and moved his chair off the stage to do the next number right at them in the audience. Magical moment... shivers down the spine.
Flawless.
Nice guitar decoration
Rip Mr Eddie 😢
I can't believe it's been 3 years now. Still has to be one of the best covers if you want to even call it that of Eddie Van Halen. RLTW 3/75
I love how Mike Dawes covers make you appreciate how rich the original song composition often is
"Wow!" I exclaimed whilst nonchalantly tossing my Taylor 710 in the fireplace. "Sure is chilly."
MIC DROP for Top Comment by ^ ^ this guy right here LOL! So so true
Texas?
hahahahaha
I felt the same way as a keyboardist when I first saw Dream Theater live at the L.I.E. Club in Binghamton, NY before they got huge. Wanted to go home and take my keyboards and turn them into coffee tables.
Noooo!!!1!!
You are not a guitar player, you are a rock band. God bless you.
Couldn’t believe what I just heard, so I listened a second time. I have to say, before this, the only time I’ve ever cried out of pure musical joy was whenever a dear friend and concert pianist would play Chopin. Until now. Remarkable. Masterful playing. Bravo, sir, Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Maaaaaaan people please recognize this man’s greatness! He does more incredible things with one guitar than I could do with an entire orchestra
Sometimes something is so beautiful it physically hurts in your heart, like you can barely take it all in. This is one of those times.
You are a lord, a scholar and a qingly treasure. We love you
Love you mate
@robert proctor He said, "a lord"... not THE Lord. Are all modern christians thick and basic?
@robert proctor Modern refers to the times not the christians. What falsehood do I believe in... notice I typed The Lord. Kick and scoff?... you are the one who decided to interject your "christianity" into a compliment being paid to someone you don't even know. Frankly, it's embarrassing to be having this discourse with you.
@robert proctor Blessed are the meek, turn the other cheek and walk away like a true christian.
@robert proctor dude...just stop. Here's the thing religious people do not understand at all. The more you cry about your religion, THE LESS PEOPLE WILL CARE. Y'all spouting it is doing us a favor. Because we weren't gonna join anyway.
I cannot imagine a better tribute to EVH then this. Extremely complicated rhythms, totally classy original spins on it. The harmonics on the "solo" ? Damn, I think I repeated that part at least 50 times .....Mike Dawes, serious respect
Anyone here for the 67th time like me?
Nein, aber zum 6. oder 7. mal😊6 or 7 times in just 3 days.
For the first time, but will definitely surpass 67 times! lol
at least
First timer...stellar! Eddie smiles ❤
Thanks for the love through the pandemic folks! Please do hit 'like' & comment below, it really helps with the algorithm stuff which means I ultimately make more music. If you subscribe and hit the bell I'll give you a real life in person sweaty post-show hug one day! x
Hello are there tabs for this? I would gladly spend on tabs for a piece of this quality. Thank you!
is michael anthony replaced with the OC5 or OC3?
@Mike - Amazing playing and arrangement. I envy your long, skinny fingers, and your amazing control over them.
@@Bananapeelifico I want the tab too! It's not available on Mike's website.
Yer Amazing bro!!! Major VH fan since 1980...i cried when i seen em..i cried when he died..n i cried when i watched you play this...Eddie's got that grin in R&R Heaven knowin you did this! Keep it comin and VH FOREVER!!🎸🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Amazing tribute mate. Lotta love coming through :) Ur the fucking king!!
Thanks King Justin x
That was amazing so are you
This pretty much shat on my EVH tribute. 😒
ruclips.net/video/X09SF8yHGZU/видео.html
Nice Justin. Showin the love.
You are a super guitarist too, I have seen your videos but yes I can't disagree, he's the donkeys knob!
Unreal!! EVH is nodding and smiling up there. You are simply amazing and made EVH very proud!!!!
I wonder if Eddie got a chance to hear this before he passed? I think he would be not only honored but awe struck by how amazing this rendition was.
Mr. Dawes, this was an outstanding performance and a great tribute to one of guitar's legendary heroes. Such amazing work.
this cover was made in response to his death. it's in the description
You can just see Eddie's soul soaring to this...absolute magic.
This brought tears to my eyes! Absolutely one of the most amazing performances I've seen in my 58 years!!! As a sound engineer, singer/songwriter and a decent guitar player, I've worked with some great guitarists. You sir, are among the very best I've ever seen. beautiful tribute! I'm sure Eddie loves it! Blessings
Absolutely insane, been a fan for over 40 years, brought a tear to my eye.
This is a perfect example of what can be achieved with perseverance, commitment, endless hours of practice and a love for what you are doing.. A masterclass in perfection..
We salute you sir..
You nailed it.
I came here to let you know I cried during the solo. Amazing.
same here
Same.
yes sir
The last couple notes of that solo always hit me hard. That’s why I always loved the Jump Live version with Sammy. Eddie solos over the keyboards and hits the last couple notes on the guitar... goosebumps every time.
My husband suggested I watch this, so I thought I'd tune in for 10 or 20 seconds. But I couldn't pull myself away. I watched the entire thing, completely mesmerized. The amount of dedication and thousands upon thousand of hours of practice to achieve this level of mastery. Just brilliant. Thank you!!
let me be one of the million guys to say: That's an awsome performance!
Fingers as long as E.T. and an other worldly rendition of our chosen wedding song from 2003 - still married after jumping into matrimony. I love how effortless the solo was played. Just like Eddie's effortless performances that few can play. Great playing here.
It’s hard to believe a human can create something so beautiful.
Incredible
Still my favorite tribute for some many reasons, to name a few 1.) Dawes is unquestionably one of the best players alive right now. 2.) Example of EVH's inspiration on players of different genres making the song more timeless. Genres come and go, but great songs inspire and manage to reincarnate in unexpected ways that's what's happening here. 3.) EVH was a very positive individual, always smiling on stage, Jump's rhythm and melody epitomized this positive energy and Dawes captures that so perfectly here and the spirit of Eddie is coming through.
you put all of that so well mate!
More refined performance than Eddie's
Absolutely one of the greatest musical moments of my (long-ish) life. Astonishing.
This video is by far the best arrangement and impossible to improve of this theme. The 99% of the guitarist of the world are very jealous of your achievement. EVH would certainly be delighted with this arrangement. Mike what a honor and tribute !! God bless your talent.
Who does this?! Who plays an EVH solo, whilst also doing the bass and percussion on one guitar?! You're crazy! That is amazing.
right!!!
Not to mention DLR’s vocal line!
This is unreal. He even does the bass walkdown.
Thank you Mike Dawes! Every year, I come back to hear this! Of course, I'm bawling...Year 2. ❤🤍🖤🎸👑
Fantastic!
Amazing skill and musicality. Nicely done.
Is this really Dweezil?
@@MrStorm029029 Is this really you Dan Storm?
@@Jorgy1963 hello? is it me you're lookin' for?
@@MrStorm029029 yes it is
@@ludoms100 Indeed he's the real thing
All I can say is, this is the most amazing cover of this song I’ve ever heard. I came over and subscribed after seeing you on Rick Beato’s channel. I’m so glad that I did. I appreciate people who can make an instrument sing.
When Eddie passed, it was something for me as he was THE GUY that got me playing. There have been many tributes to Ed song wise, some are note for note copies then others were embellishments. I just came across Dawes' version here and I am floored. It is the best tribute and cover of a classic song taken to new heights.
Go to the TOP OF THE CLASS!
Mr. Maloney, I'm surprised to see you commented in here! So awesome...Love your work on the other spectrum of life....
Indeed - silver isn't the only undervalued asset! :)
Hahaha Mike youre the man
As a diehard fan of Eddie who is still devastated by his passing, all I can tell you Mike is that this is easily the most beautiful interpretation of Jump I have ever heard. I have tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing this. You are truly amazing, and I know Eddie smiles upon you. Blessings.
I've watched this over and over and I can't get enough of it!
Mike. .. don’t know what to say or think at this point after watching you!! I’m completely blown away with awe, emotion and down right tearful!
I miss the days of EVH and Eddie almost daily! I’m 54 and grew up with vanhalen being my favorite band period! I have Van Halen license plate on my car and EVH shoes as well. What you have created with video is hands down the BEST video I think I’ve ever seen! I’m speechless… Thankyou!
It’s almost impossible to get how I feel right now out thru a RUclips comment but I’m literally crying and smiling at the same time right now. Mike this was incredible. Literally blown away. What an amazing tribute for EVH.
A fabulous and fitting tribute, to both Eric Roche and Eddie Van Halen.
I saw Mike perform this live last night. He plays this then asks the audience to confess to being guitar players. I would say that most of us were reluctant to admit to it after watching and hearing such a performance. He is one in a million.
RUclips needs a love button.
the great eddie is smiling at him from the heavens😭
I had never heard of you before watching Michael Palmisano’s RUclips channel. His best reaction video-and musical introduction-ever. Now I am part of your following. Amazing playing!
Ditto! I hope he comes on mike's channel to discuss his playing. I'm speechless.
He does a version of Metallica's ONE that is just as impressive
me too!
Same!
His original compositions is out of the world. Check them out. Following Mike for more than 2 years now and loving his journey
I was lucky enough to have seen Michael Hedges play and damn, this is on that level and then some.
Possibly the most amazing thing I've EVER seen someone play on the guitar. About made me fall out of my chair. Absolutely astonishing skill. Thank you, Mike. Eddie would be so proud!
If anyone gives this a thumbs down they are a troll. This is ridiculously good and I know EVH would be impressed. Great job man
Some people just aren't a huge fan of the whole "Acoustic guitar doubling as percussion" thing, they aren't trolls.
@@wesleyzimmerman94 So move along. No need to downvote.
Even if you're not a fan of the style, you can appreciate the talent shown here.
@@ZiddersRooFurry Why not? I love most of Mike's music and listend. But I also did not enjoy this cover. Downvoting is a way to say "I don't like that" -- and tastes are allowed to differ! :-) A lot of music I love does not touch others. That's fine. Have a listen at Claus Boesser and Jutta Glaser for example. Not main stream music and many people do not want to hear something like that and they say "I don't like that" But others take the time to let themselves "fall into the music" and are touched.

My god this is insane Mike love it 😍🤘🔥🎸
Supreme talent
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBBLE!!!!! EDDIE IS SMILING DOWN ON YOU, BROTHER!!! THE PERFECT TRIBUTE!!!! WELL DONE, MIKE!!!! GOD BLESS!!!
Like gold and diamonds in my ear.
That's the first time I've ever heard somebody actually do the song justice. Amazing!
As a guitarist, this makes me want to do one of two things. Practice practice practice, or never pick my guitar up again. ;) Last time I felt that way was seeing Tommy Emmanuel live. Fantastic job my dude.
Right? I know I told myself as I was listening to it, at some point I have to concede and I probably just won't get there. But by God I'll always try. Yes practice practice practice. As the maestro said in Mozart in the jungle - play with the blood...
@@juliegorham I look at it as proof it is possible. Just gonna be a lot of work. I do think he's a natural of course alongside a strong work ethic.
@@gslinger19 dude you just took the words right out of my mouth one can be seriously inspired by this or in my case demotivated to never pick up my Guitar lol
Well said, Bro!! 👍🤝
And yea, the Great Emmanuel is a different kind of beast altogether!! 👑
this one?: ruclips.net/video/LsLGgeK3qCg/видео.html
You made a lot of people smile with your arrangement and performance of such a classic song by a class act and will continue to do so. Thank You.
This is fascinating. The composition of the music is absolutely another art form. You hear, in this music, what most people miss, the individual sounds. Music radiates from you.
So so good
Hey, will you play the beat, the chords OR the lead?
Mike: Yes
Great, great tribute!!
You gotta have a good pickup to do that. Otherwise youd never hear all the tapping.
Genius, genius, genius, genius, genius,genius..........................................
Why did RUclips think I wanted to wait 10 months to see this?! I'm subscribed too.
A true sorcerer of the instument. Came over from Michael Palmisano's channel. His reaction to this is 🔥!
Me too! You should go on his channel!
Check out Marcin. Nothing against Mike Dawes--he's truly wonderful--but Marcin is a phenomenon, possibly the best guitarist ever. Check out his Beethoven arrangements, or his System of a Down cover. You'll be blown away, guaranteed.
@Body Buildong ~ Troll perverts trying to get their sick jollies are irrelevant, Doc! Get some help, get a life, and get a clue.
@Body Buildong ~ Seeing as how you don't speak for anyone but yourself and you're still trolling, take it you couldn't get your pants wet, yet. No doubt you'll keep trying, though, Doc...because that's what perverts do.
Oh man, if only Eddie could have heard this. Well, he probably can somehow. Well done.
Wow. I keep coming back to this thinking I may have over estimated how good it was. I hadn't, it's sublime, it's perfect, it's masterful.
I have watched this video maybe 30 or so times. I saw it the day you published it and was speechless, hell, I cried at the keyboard solo. My first concert was Van Halen in August of 1981 in Atlanta and I did not miss a show all the way through the 80’s. Ed’s music is engrained in my psyche and your playing took me back to many years ago when me and my buddies slept under our cars waiting in line for Van Halen tickets. Thank you!
We went and saw Van Halen in June 19 81 @forum, we tooSm spent tonight camping out in order to buy tickets. Hello
THAT is musicianship. THAT is how to play guitar. What form. What passion. Wow.
I've played alot of guitar in my life. I've watched alot of people play guitar as well. This is one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen.
Just re-visiting this song. Bringing a tear to my eye. Thank you for the loving tribute to my musical hero and inspiration. Long live the music of EVH. 🎸🎶=VH=🎶🎸
What a gift. Thank you for that amazing arrangement EVH would be proud. RIP
This is probably, technically the best guitar playing I've ever seen. Amazing! Not to mention just coming up with all the pieces of this arrangement!
The only negative thing about this is that evh can't see it♥️ thank you and the heavens for this indescribable composition.
Nah....I have a feeling Eddie was right there with him the whole time, smiling from ear to ear.
You're wrong. Eddie heard this amazing composition and was smiling that famous smile of his ear to ear.
I'm just wondering if WVH has seen this yet. He needs to.
Sounds so amazing in my headphones. Want to put it on repeat for hours.
I know I'm late to the party, but I really loved this cover, Mike. You're such a gem. Thank you for making this music - And yes, it does inspire :) Everything you do inspire me to play my guitar and makes me rejoice in being part of a global community of people who love listening to and making music.
A person normally wouldn't think of 'Jump' as a masterpiece of music. Seeing/hearing an instrumental arrangement of it like this makes it obvious just how good this song has always been.
oh yes! DO you trade by the way?
@@taliesinmusic Not actively at this time, but yeah.
Seriously? If you don't realise that Jump is a masterpiece in terms of composition, then better you play cricket.
@@funkymonk5344 You must have low standards for what you normally consider a 'masterpiece'. In general, pop-rock tunes are not considered masterpieces of musical composition.
@@system.machine Dickie, by stating that I have “low standards”, you are obviously showing a lack of argument and getting defensive. Ok, take a break from cricket and go listen to “Pet Sounds” by The Beach Boys, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart” by the Beatles, or “A night at the opera” by the Queen. Then perhaps you will laugh your ass off at your own snobbish nonsense.
Awesome: Mike !!
My 14 yr old boy just started showing an interest in guitar. He's listened to me play rock and metal for years, so as a way to show him that guitar can be so much more, I showed him your slow dancing composition. His mouth dropped lol and he asked me where your style came from. The best I could respond with was that you had taken parts from your favourite musicians and carved your own little niche in the world of music. That it takes lots of practice and finding what you enjoy. Whether it inspired him or not , I don't know lol. I'm sure over the next few years your playing will inspire many young guitarist to climb out of their box and explore the possibilities of just what this instrument is capable of. Thanks lots.
Look up videos of Michael Hedges- he was one of the innovators of Mike's style of guitar playing. Also Andy McKee. But Michael Hedges is kind of the Godfather of this style- and he would have loved Mike's playing for sure!
@@Salmacis99 ah so, that is true! I heard some Adrian Legg in there too...that ringing style... 🎸🎼
@@Salmacis99 Michael Hedges. Yes. But also Tuck Andress, who is definitely a godfather .
@@ThomasBrandtstaetter Can't argue with that- Tuck is a monster player!
Why isn't this our national anthem
It's when I see musicians like Mike play so incredibly that I have to believe there is a higher power. How is he not channeling some higher force or being when playing this so flawlessly!? So magnificent to watch and listen to. Thanks Mike!!!
Fantastic. Simply fantastic.
This is a tribute worthy for Eddie. He must be smiling now.
One of the most beautiful and thoughtful interpretations I've ever heard. That solo section gave me massive chills.
Mike! What a joy! No words to describe. What you did to this song was simply unbelievable and amazing. I wish EVH was still around just to hear his reaction to it. Because I’m sure he listened. Congrats man! Truly. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don't think even Eddie could play that version. Stunning.
Stunning. Must be a high pollen count around here at the moment 'cos my eyes are a bit teary.....
Agreed, feels like I've been cutting onions for 10 minutes....
Had the same affect on me
Same here gents. Cheers!
I think it's the dust mites. Since it's winter (Feb.) in the Great White North of Minnesota and the windows have been shut for some time now. Ya the dust mites! That's what I'm going with.
Every musician that knows what goes into this has a tear in his eyes.....amazing!
As a someone deeply affected by EVH's music, I found myself with familiar feelings here. No, not a copy - but an actual original arrangement that hits every single note. Beautiful in its simplicity and absolutley stunning in the incorporation of so many techniques, harmonies. Thank you for doing this. Somehow I feel the original is smiling down. After all, there's nothing else.
As a guitarist if this doesn't bring a tear to your eye i don't not will.
What a wonderful tribute. Beautifully done.
Love the decoration like Eddie's guitar.
While my guitar and I gently weep.
I think we should all just sit back for 5 minuets to appreciate just how nice that was and the effort put into it. Amazing job!
I was stationed in England in the military when "1984" came out. I had a very good set of keys "I played piano, drums, bass and guitars in numerous bands both on and off base) and I would rock the house with "Jump." Except I did it sometimes at 3 in the morning... Pissed some people off... This was an EXCELLENT rendition on guitar! WELL DONE!
