He got not only the techs and notes but the spirit, its about the soul thing, and he got it, Eddie must be smiling if he ever see this from his place in heaven.
That riff he plays at 2:29 is SO smooth god damnnn this guy embodies Van Halen. The look, the swagger, the confidence, the technical skill. It’s crazy to see.
Lil Early Sr., I'm beginning to suspect that a certain percentage of the people out there are crazy as shithouse rats. Everyday the evidence builds. Just get on Tumblr, and holy shit---- watch the crazy fly! How could ANYONE dislike a video of a young kid playing a great classic rock song perfectly? There are some people who are un-pleasable. They hate themselves, they world, and anyone who is having a good time or is better than them at something. Damn--sounds like Antifa-types!
One of, if not the best cover of this song I have heard. Outstanding job. I wish I had a quarter of your talent. The only way I can carry a tune is if it had a handle on it.
@@B501R it’s definitely a skill with what would appear as more than 10k hours of playing…but then again some naturally talented musicians could get there in 2-4K, hours what might take others 10k…skill and talent are not mutually exclusive.
@@tres311 in other words, you cannot beat a talented over a skilled musician. Eddie Van Halen was talented and he perfected it with hourless of practice.
I still remember the first time I saw Eddie playing on MTV. I already knew what an incredible player he was, but I had no idea how much fun he was having playing. All the other great players at the time were so serious and dour by comparison. Eddie brought a light and energy that fed me like no one else had before or since. RIP my dude. Great cover. LOVE the energy.
Best version of this song. I love the harmonic tapping in the beginning that isn't in the studio version...I play this your way now! The only Van Halen covers I watch anymore. Rock on!
God only knows what this guy can do on an Axe these days, this is the second cover I’ve seen this guy play, absolutely amazing, accurate, natural and meticulous. Bravo!!!
That is F###ing Excellent. I really enjoyed your video. One of my favorite Van Halen songs. Love the enthusiasm, the guitar sound, the musicianship, everything. Most excellent.
You rocked the hell out of it dude. Keep playing, one guitarist to another. Remember haters are the sincerest form of flattery and the best advertisement. If you don't have haters you are doing it wrong.
Unbelievable. When I watch these very early covers of Jacob, he is at that moment far and away the best Van Halen cover guitarist on the entire planet, hands down, Period. As his collection grows over the years he leaves no doubt he is the greatest Van Halen cover guitarist in the world. Over time watching and listening to all his various covers over the years it became quit obvious that Jacob Deraps is the world's greatest cover guitarist of all time. In any circle, in any genra. Any song, any band any sound, any style. Period. And no people. Don't bother with your lame Samsuta or any other Damn person on the net as a comparison. What a fucking joke. There is. No comparison. Period, people. I've watched them all and it's not even remotely close. Any true musicians especially guitar players would agree with me 100%.if not, than they aren't actually musician or guitarist. Jacobs most loyal and number 1 fan for years and years. I'm out
Great energy, vibe, fun. Sitting here at age 65, being maybe 20 when this came out--about like Jacob. Hope he realized these are the times of his life. He seems clued in.
Dude!!! So many covers on here are just someone sitting in front of a camera playing along. You rarely see the energy and enjoyment that you show. Keep on rockin and keep having fun. Excellent playing.
Songs like these are the exact reason why I wish I could have been born in the same generation as my parents. Songs made today can't hold a flame to this era of music. Even calling it classic rock just doesn't quite do it the justice it deserves. amazing cover as well. spot on from start to finish.
Dude, still to this day I watch these videos of you, always get an adrenaline rush watching you play. Totally wholesome, no one can replicate this style. That’s how bands become famous. Good shit brother.
You Nailed It ......VH 's most melodic Tune .. You'd have your local club sceamin for more.... !! All the Best ..... !! This type of music is meant to be Fun ..... !
Dude you rock ! I would love to hear something of your own making, but it refreshes me to see a young guy do the stuff I still do at 57 years of age. Best advice I can give you is the industry is just as corrupted as our government , so be careful. DON'T SELL YOU'RE SOUL FOR FAME.... You should have no problem earning a living doing what you love to do ! Rock on Brother !
Don't usually watch covers, but you nailed it. Remarkable comfort in playing guitar! that's what it is like when you couple skill and fun! Great rockin! keep having fun!

That's right!!! ~ Let's keep the vibes up. Keep on Rockin'! 🍻✊🎸

This is literally why guitar exists. If EVH is watching this video from above, he is smiling from ear to ear. 100%.
This dude is having fun with it. That's what Van Halen was all about, man! =VH=
Joseph Ranner Van halen is my go-to feel good band ❤️😍
Joseph Ranner
*well said, bro*
Joseph Ranner he looks like a DLR but did a great job and glad hes having fun
Yeah! Now I see I'm not alone. I perceive this band as a get fun with rock and discovering new guitar sounds. A sunny day needs VH for being perfect.
Yeah bro! This is the spirit of Rock-n-Roll. Enjoy
This is what rock n' roll means ...having fun
fuck yeah man
Hell yeah!
ABSOLUTELY!! GREAT COMMENT!!🇲🇽💖VAN HALEN💖🇲🇽💖🇲🇽💖🇲🇽
He got not only the techs and notes but the spirit, its about the soul thing, and he got it, Eddie must be smiling if he ever see this from his place in heaven.

It’s from the outro of Jump :)
@@jamesparker2274 I knew I recognized it but couldn’t find it in the original song. Awesome touch!
@@g-dawgbush6681its rhe beggininng of top of the world from F.U.c.k album
It’s also the intro to Top Of The World
You still make it your own while being 100% faithful. This is unbelievable.
Why doesn't this guy have a million subscribers by now ?? he's one of the best on UA-cam
Why is rock so wonderful? This song, which is the essence of happy energy, is a good illustration. Thanks for your enthusiasm and skill. Great cover.
lebarosky you nailed what I wanted to say exactly
this kid's got what it takes
Eugene Vasquez I agree
Outstanding! You really captured Eddie Van Halen's great rhythm/lead style of playing adding in those fills.
Don’t be alarmed people... if you can play Van Halen your body involuntarily moves that way. 😂
Truth!!!
hes being possesed
This is my favorite comment on UA-cam, I laugh every time I watch this video, thank you friend!
Amen!!
Why the dislikes? This is a perfectly played song. Good Job Dude!
I did all of those with fake accounts because he is better than me.
Its because today people dont like this kind of music this is the best kind of music too

To put it simply...it's just haters.
It's hard to understand people, it's extremely hard to me to dislike something since I only watch things I like.
One of, if not the best cover of this song I have heard. Outstanding job. I wish I had a quarter of your talent. The only way I can carry a tune is if it had a handle on it.
David Neldon was that a SKILL or TALENT? I say SKILL.

I love this kid!! I've never seen anyone but Eddie have this much fun playing these tunes. Keep up the y work Bud!!
You have a true passion for the mighty EVH, and I absolutely understand. Long live the king.
One of my favorite songs of all time. You killed this.

Dude...dude...this was freaking great. You captured the spirit of this tune, it's more than just getting the notes right. Awesoem.
Best version of this song. I love the harmonic tapping in the beginning that isn't in the studio version...I play this your way now! The only Van Halen covers I watch anymore. Rock on!
Evh played it like that in live
Bro! Your cadence is spot on. Eddies little intracacies in his picking have not eluded you. Your tone as well is perfect!!
Have fun bro! This tune is the epitome of fun rock n roll and you nailin' it dude.
Nearly 8 billion on the planet and only you can do this shit better than anyone.. you complete smartass.. I love you!
God only knows what this guy can do on an Axe these days, this is the second cover I’ve seen this guy play, absolutely amazing, accurate, natural and meticulous. Bravo!!!
Man, you did that tapping with style and ease... Awesome cover
One of my fave Van Halen songs! 🔥🔥🔥
I bought the 8-track when this was released back in 1979. I used to pretend to do what you're doing here. Great job.
This is so emotional the way you play it is so spot on I love it so much
This is awesome
That chord at 0:45 & 1:30 is nice. I wonder if eddie wrote that based on Roth's vocals? That chord makes the song special.
Cant be the only one finding and watching this 10 years later
This kid jams
same
5 years ago..
Watch the entire library,I dare ya.
The real deal at 16 and he's even better now.
Nope! That kid’s a beast!
nothing like having passion,, great stuff keep it up
That's just a song you can't help to have fun with and grin all the way through 😊 Miss your smile Ed!
Man, this perfectly sums up how awesome playing a great song in your bedroom should be. Great job
That is F###ing Excellent. I really enjoyed your video. One of my favorite Van Halen songs. Love the enthusiasm, the guitar sound, the musicianship, everything. Most excellent.
Nice to see the young folks appreciate good music
Man, I am enjoying this as much as the first time I heard the original. The rhythm is badass. Thank you for sharing this.
Nice job young man. You got the skills for sure and you enjoy what you're doing. I've been playing live for 35 years and it never gets old. ;-)
You rocked the hell out of it dude. Keep playing, one guitarist to another. Remember haters are the sincerest form of flattery and the best advertisement. If you don't have haters you are doing it wrong.
Jesus---this is amazing. Way to go, Jacob.

It is thoroughly entertaining to watch you play. I bet you can go wherever the music takes you.
Every few months I come back to this video and watch Jacob rip it up to my favorite Van Halen song.
Love it!! A young man shredding for the sheer joy and fun of it. This young man gives me hope for our musical future.
Dude!!! So many covers on here are just someone sitting in front of a camera playing along. You rarely see the energy and enjoyment that you show. Keep on rockin and keep having fun. Excellent playing.
The kind of video that's a pleasure to watch...
It's clear you're enjoying playing the music. Amazing vibe! Just keep it up!!

Astounding! If you are this good with EVH I can't wait to hear your own stuff!! Wow.

Great job BTW
