Without doubt the best cover so far it was all in there, he kept it true to the original didn't run away tempo was on point. No adlib runs just note for note, tone for tone and dive for dive perfect. Gets a 10/10 from me.
The F-14 Tomcat, what a machine.....had the pleasure of seeing ( and hearing ! this beauty when I was a kid at an airshow in England, and when she came around for her pass , WOW....thats how you get the attention of 10,000 people ...they played this over the PA and just as the part of the song goes ( around 1:21 on this video ) she lit up afterburners and went up, banked.....and we just went crazy. I am not American, but damn....she was, is and forever will be an iconic warplane.
Eldo Baidowi when I was younger I visited the USS Lexington with my dad (also a pilot) and I played this on a speaker for people coming up to the deck 😂 great times
@@nicholasmoore4769 You''re so lucky! I wish I could step on an aircraft carrier flight deck at least once. My country doesn't have any carrier and decommissioned warships normally will be scrapped or converted to non combatant ships.
I'm not going to lie... I clicked on this video expecting a half-assed, bullshit hatchet job of one of the most iconic opening themes in cinema history. Instead I was delightfully treated to quite possibly the most amazing rendition of that song that I have ever heard since that movie was released. Congratulations, you are a master of that guitar. Steve Stevens and Harold Faltermeyer would be proud.
Hey, thanks a lot! I really appreciate that! I love this theme and the movie, so I tried to make sure to respect it, but still have a little fun with it!
@@garyofalltrades You might not believe this the Top Gun is my favorite movie of all time. I have seen it over 500 times. I've worn out like 15 VHS copies of the movie. I bought the DVD and I also bought the Blu-ray as well as the 25th anniversary commemorative set.
That was so beautiful! I'm a guitarist as well and my dad gave me his leather jacket from the time he served in the Chilean Air Force (FACH). I love our F-16, F-5 and the Euro Fighters that we bought. But the Tomcat is my true love since I was a child. Your performance is so moving. Respect 🤘🏼
O Graaand Just wonderful to hear and see Big well done. . Did Steve Stevens go flying and put out his hand to touch the face of God, and God stretched out His hand and gave Steve Stevens His Gift of that very Special Heart capturing guitar sound! That beautiful Sound can ONLY come out of the Very Centre of Heaven! That’s the best I can find to say of that SOOOO Special guitar sound! (My lyrics mind pouring out here) I have a lump in my throat Every time I hear Top Gun thyme played, and Just hearing you play I have water in my eyes! Thank you for that lovely emotion! Thank you from one aviator to another for sharing Gods gift to Steve S. I bet Tom sometimes flys to Steves guitar solo when he is in his Gorgeous P51. All the very best to you sport. Fly safe and keep smiling. JB. East Surrey. UK
Bro - bro, i don't know what to say!! You just blew my mind. I have heard soooooo many shite variations of this, THE greatest movie guitar piece of all time, but never have i heard anything even approaching the quality, the tone and the mastery you showed. I wish i had your talent. God Bless You!!!
That was really good man. Perfect tone and the harmonics were awesome. Good thing, cause if you’d have screwed up, just this much...you’d be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog **** out of Hong Kong!
Oh, definitely the best cover yet! Man this song/anthem is like a time machine; it takes you back to one of the greatest eras for everything - music, movie, games, arcades, karate. I miss the 80s very much! Anyway, fabulous job, and you nailed the tone too! Well done.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.........for making it sound like its supposed to and keeping it PURE, not adding a bunch of you own extra do dads in there that make it sound oh so wrong ! THANK YOU !!!!!! Steve Stevens would be so proud !!!!!
Just listened to like 20 covers of this in a row, and I have to say you nailed it. You played it perfectly, the tone was perfect, and most importantly you got the feel just right.
I cursed this song because it had something to do with my parents divorce a couple of years Ago. This is the first time i actualy didnt cry hearing this. Thanks for restoring it ❤️
Man: i am from Brazil. I love this solo guittar. I love this song. I really love this movie. I really loved your guittar cover, you have a great talent. Thanks a lot.
I love this so much! Great job it sounded so clean and awesome. I served in the Army but I have always loved this movie. My mom served in the Navy and we use to watch this movie all the time. Thanks for sharing this sir. Thank you for your service!
thats fantastic! Nailed the tone! There is something so satisfying about that guitar sound, I am not much of a guitar player but when I do play guitar I like that kind of sound. The harmonics and bends on the Floyd are awesome dude!
Really nicely done! Tone, technique, feel. It was all there. There are some great covers of this solo on UA-cam, but I think this one is my favorite. Also, great film work. It's really easy to use your video as a learning reference. Thanks!
Always one of my favourite instrumental guitar pieces, ever since Top Gun came out when I was a kid. It would be about a decade before I could actually play it... Nice cover anyway
Thank you so much this came onto my recommended I actually cited once you started cause my father was an airforce pilot and this movie has such an impact on my life thank you for your service
AB Johnson: “Your snot nose jockey did a hammer slide viewed on my app at over 250 seconds! I want some butts!” Cmdr Metcalf: “Well, I think that’ll just about cover the covers...”
Awesome man! Top Gun is my favorite movie and this song you played.... Perfect! Nothing else I can say.. Perfect! I can see you that you're really enyojing of playing this song! Keep on rocking man!
Man. I Really wait for this movie too. Lets hope that IS gonna be An awesome one as like the First part. Anyways.. I really enjoy listening to your playing over and over again. Dont stop playing man. Music is the point of living. Im a Singer and a bass player. And music for me is the point of life!

@@garyofalltrades did you see cover Kfir Ochaion ?
Yeah, it was pretty close to the original.
Impressive. My thoughts were similar

Lol
I can. I'm waaaay cooler than that.

You can be my wingman anytime!
Bullshit...you can be his!
NJD1991 That is funny!🤣

A love poem to the F-14 Tomcat. Probably one of the greatest recruiting vehicles ever. Movie soundtrack one of the best ever.
Yeah. The main character of the movie was played by Tom Cruise, but the star of the movie was the F-14 Tomcat.
Who knows topgun3 showcase f35B
The tone is spot on. Should have played this on an aircraft carrier!

Because I was... inverted
Cough...bullsh*t

Lol
It is a aviation joke
You know, the finger
First deployment i was on was the last for the f14 tomcatters. Still the most badass plane I've ever seen in action! Great rendition good sir!
Best cover yet. Steve will be proud!
Jacob Jan thanks!
Correct
What!
Jacob Jan - Steve as in Steve Stevens? Great guitarist, however I thought Satriani was behind the Top Gun theme.
@@GSGExtreme44 Nope that was Steve Stevens!

That was the first thing I learned how to play on the electric guitar in 1987. Your rendition kicks ass.
That was a really good cover. One of the best I've heard. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing. As an early 80s kid who loves this movie and soundtrack I salute you.
Nebraska always plays this after a high school state championship game, it’s awesome, chills
I'm from Omaha (westside high) I hear this playing every now and then at games, I think it plays after the prep vs westside game too
That was so beautiful! I'm a guitarist as well and my dad gave me his leather jacket from the time he served in the Chilean Air Force (FACH).
I love our F-16, F-5 and the Euro Fighters that we bought. But the Tomcat is my true love since I was a child.
Your performance is so moving.
Respect 🤘🏼
Guitar: Bruce You big Stud
Bruce: Yea Hunni
Guitar: Take me to bed and play me for ever

That's when Meg Ryan was adorable, and not the plastic monster she's become.
Love this beautiful song played on guitar! Very well played bro!
You owned that, loved the theatre and technical precision. Awesome tapping part. Respect.

I always did like this song. They used it so perfect in the movie. Well done on your cover. 👍👍
I used to sit and watch the title screen for the NES Top Gun game just to hear this song.
Awesome!
Jsparrow350 Awesome! I don’t know about you, but I found that game so stinkin hard. I could not get past the second level.
Love the reverse head stock and shark teeth! Phil Collen fan maybe??

Back in the day I was convinced this was Satriani. My apologies Mr Stevens.
Same happened to me!
Thank you for your service!!!! Awesome on the guitar!!
Great tone
Thanks! It’s called Petrucci Neo. It’s a tone in the Bias FX amp sim.
Nicely performed and sweet sound! Love the costume changes haha.
