You've not only done a fantastic job reproducing these intricate classics, but your choice of songs is excellent... Hear About it Later, Light up the Sky and this one are great picks.
I learned this song by watching your video about 8 years ago, and saved as a favorite. Now, my son is 15 and is using your video to learn it, and he found and chose your version on his own. How cool is that! Every kid should master this song as part of general education.
My god that was incredible! The effects rocked. Was really accurate people don't give you enough credit but they will rave about some shitty technical version of a 15 year old with no timing of vh and no emotion or feel. You have it all! Listen to this guy and you'll learn something awesome Kramer !
You're probably one of the best cover artists on youtube. You play the song ridiculously well and just about note for note to the original, but its also got a great tone and you play with confidence and feeling. Hard to do, kudos
This is one of my favorite VH songs & would love to be able to play it on my guitar but after seeing you play, it would take me a hundred years to learn, man your good!!!
Awesome job!! I've been palying Ed's stuff for years and 5150 is probably one of the most difficult to get down with all that crazy phrasing....again, awesome job!
Wow!! Outstanding... You have the Sam Era stuff goin' on, That song is a pain in the ass to play, you did a wondeful job... You inspire me to start playing again.....GW
wow!! You played that to a teee, great talent man!! can you imagine writing a song like that!! Eddie Is a geniuse, the most creative player who ever lived..THE BEST !!
DUDE. 1ST. I never said THANK YOU! - I've watched this over and over - - - and there will never be a day I can do that! THANK YOU! That was BAD ASS!!! no other words... just DAMN! THANKS
I love this tune and you play it well! this is one of my fave VH tunes being a child of the 80s but I always thought that Alex sped up the tempo in that transition @ 4:40... just a bit, certainly no big deal just wondered if anyone else thought so.
Man this rocks how didyou get the tones they are great . ESPECIALY yhe chorus setting what are they man I can`t get the right settings . Love the litle free time licks at the end very VH I guess you did as well as satchboogie so welldone mate thi mde my day Its my favourite Van Hagar tune . r
craig i cant believe u were able to do this it is so tedious well im tryin to learn it out of the 5150 tab book and i cant do it good job 6 out of 5 stars
sweet ass craig..replaying yours..you and satchb really slay this cover..awesome work! just got a digi rp500 and i'm tryin' to give sammy a chance, too, with the new fun factor..later.. :)
@Craigman65 I wish someone would have told me this years ago. lol.....I've always been looking for the EVH sounds and could never seem to get there. Now I understand why. hahahaha
great cover of a very cool song! neat video editing, also. especially the flames!!! yeahhh!!!! the 2 people that voted thumbs down must've been deaf and blind.
This is like 10 riffs in one song and it all works. This is the work of genious, which is off course what EVH is

Every time I see one of your Van Halen covers I'm amazed at how excellent your tone and playing is, just fantastic! Thank you for this!
My favotite VH cover. After Eddie passing i had to watch again

Absolutely incredible, Craig. Really nice take on the solo too. Good work man. That Kramer sounds so great as well.
Simply Put....... FREAKING AWESOME!!! Great Jam my friend thanks for sharing.
Love it Dude!! I am a huge EVH fan (saw him in '83, 86' & 07 and you really nailed it! Very Nice!!!
I love these videos because you can see the "genius" is Edward Van Halen as musician. Nice job.
