Electric Violin - Cliffs of Dover - (CLEAN cover)

- My name is Eddie Carlson, and this is the first violin cover of Eric Johnson's epic "Cliffs of Dover." I hope you enjoy my performance.
I am playing a Yamaha SV-200 through a Boss ME-50 effects pedal.
The audio/video sync is a little off...I think it just has something to do with being uploaded to youtube because there's no similar latency when the actual video file plays on my computer. Oh well.
I don't have the sheet music for this song, so I can't send it to you - sorry. Check out the guitar tabs, they're posted online everywhere, that's how I learned it.
May 9 2010: I didn't realize I could change the title after posting a video. When I first made the video, I jammed "guitar hero" in the title to score views. I definitely agree, Eric Johnson is amazing and it's a cover of his song, not a cover form guitar hero. I give you...the new title, EJ fans rejoice! : )
The first violin cover of "Cliffs of Dover"

I was coming home for work and thought to myself, "Yknow, Cliffs of Dover would sound great on Violin." I was right.
Same here :D Just home from work and couldn't get it out of my mind...
Violin tone after all
I was the same way but with "what would it sound like on a clarinet"
SAME!!! I was listening to a live recording from Eric on the way home from work and had the same thought lol
I was in the shower and I thought this as well
What a great 2008 UA-cam fossil I have found today
It’s been one of my favorites since 2008
@@GreenBandon glad to hear so :)
Since the first time I heard this solo I think It was made for violin, Amazing work¡¡¡¡¡
Just finished watching. I was blown away! And your are so right. It was played perfectly on the violin. But I think that is to Eric Johnson's credit to a great extent.
jb nano I thought the same.
Very astute. Johnson always goes for "violin tone".
i been playing guitar about 10 years and i play this song alot, i once tried playing my friends violin and failed outright, you have my respect on this sir
10 glorious years later I’m now out of college. I barely started high school when I first watched this. This is such a trip down memory lane. Still one of the greatest covers I’ve ever seen. I hope this guy is doing well in life.
thanks man. I'm doing well :) hope you are too. I'd just graduated high school when I recorded this
@@aludien happy to hear man thanks for the reply! Take care!!
Closer to the actual tone on E.J.'s original studio recording than about any guitar cover of this tune I have ever heard-
Yes Eric’s tone is known as sort of a violin tone that’s why it sounds close on the violin
EJ played violin before guitar i think
Eric Johnson just shared this on his official twitter account. Good job man!
I cried of happiness
This was one of the first covers I ever looked up on UA-cam, it's still one of my favorites.
This is amazing dude. It's incredibly difficult on guitar and you did it on an instrument that requires even more accuracy and precision. You are the man.
Every time I hear this rendition, I get teary-eyed. It's beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful, not a single off key note & you had perfect timing with every verse 😇
Deserves a Like very much so! 👍
Incredible. Well-done.
I came upon this by accident but hung out to the hear the whole thing your way. I was not disappointed...
Eric Johnson says the song just came to him one day. The fact that this sounds amazing on pretty much any instrument speaks to that.
after watching this i busted a major flavor flav and said, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!" :) great job, Eddie
This piece is challenging for a guitar player but for a violin player... amazing man, and you even got the right tone !
SHOOT! That was AWESOMMEEE man! This song played on guitar is already amazing and now, violin? WOWZER! That was cool! :D Love the song. Love your version. Love Eric Johnson's too.
Check the cello cover by Roman Soto. Totally out of this world :O
I play the violin since 2005 and remember this video inspired me to think of the violin outside the box. Glad is still up, great job, this sounds great even now.
Super awesome job. As someone who has been playing Electric Violin for over 40 years.... my hat is off to you. Rock on Brudda.
Awesome, Eddie! Just pure awesome! This has to be the best Cliffs of Dover performance I have found yet- with the exception of EJ's. :D
stop...just stop...i can only handle so much badassery at one time!
When they say "Violin Tone", they mean it.
seriously, to be able to play such a guitar centric song so convincingly on a violin, like in the solo lick runs, just mind blowing.
your pushing my perceptions of violin in how you play
I remember seeing this over a decade ago. Just as good as I remember! Bravo.
I want the sheet music
So many likes
So little subscribers
dude you have three fucking subscribers lol
music sheet please? if there's any :)
This is what shredding on a violin looks like
I insperation to all though being told "impossible" or "you can't" Remarkable and beautiful work. I heard this years ago, and still being captivated by your work!
Caraí mano foda pakas
Omg...this song is more beautiful on violin
Kirby SwãpKnīghtSõul bruh, take that back
Bonkered no, more beautiful on violin, but more badass on guitar!! Beautiful
many guitarists are having troubles playing this song already, and here you are doing it with a violin...
Dude this was absolutely amazing
i love that this is still here at the top.
*applause!* Four minutes and twenty three seconds of happiness on this end. Thanks for that. See you Violin Hero.
That was the most outstanding cover of a guitar piece by a violinist i I have ever seen or heard. Bravo!
this is probably one of the most impressive things i have ever seen.
VVVV eric johnson would b proud, because that sounds incredible.
Incredible.
Violin Hero - Unleash your inner "classy sounding versions of rock songs" legend.
You have inspired me to start practising my violin again!
Exceptionally well done young man!!!
This is the first time ever I've heard of an electric violin. You are awesome times ten!
I showed the aspiring violist in the family cliffs of dover on guitar and then your version. His eyes lit up like fireworks, I think he got it.
Good job and thanks
I never thought a violin could ever be this epic....until now.
DUDE!!!!!!! That was AWESOME!!!!! Cliffs of dover has been my fav since the first heard it.AWESOME just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
absolute talent
Holy crap that was amazing... I got on the internet to try and find sheet music or a tab to learn this on my violin... but man, you freaking NAILED IT.
Incredible! I've heard this on various instruments and there are some amazingly talented musicians out there, including yourself.
You made me die inside. I bow down to your sheer awesomeness, my friend...
this cover makes me so happy
I had low expectations on this one. Wow. You blew me . . . away. You blew me away.
This doesn't feel like the Cliffs of Dover anymore...more like the Cliffs of Dover and the damn ocean beyond it. I'm on a ship and your cover is blasting at 100000000 dB.
AWESOME you are.
wow not only are you playing one of the hardest instraments but also playing the awsome and equally hard song clifts of dove you sir i tip my hat to
I didn't even think this was possible until I saw this. All I got to say is freakin' awesome!!
Wow. This is the first time i heard this on violin and gave me goosebumps! I hope you are doing great! Thank you for this!
You sir, could be the spokesperson for violin playing and it's play rate would go up 800% in middle and highschools around the world
This was amazing. Awesome work. I like how you put the violin's spirit into the composition.
It is vids like this that makes UA-cam all the more worthwhile. That was rockin'!
You are the Aaron Copeland of rock'n'roll!
it's amazing how clean this is
Ive been coming back everyday to this video for the past five years
Dude!!! You´re awesomee!! Great cover!! ❤🔥❤🔥🎻
This tune makes a lot of sense played on violin...very nice indeed!!
That's probably the best use for a violin there is. Well done, good sir.
Only one word is needed. That word is certainly "Awesome". Great job!
You're wonderful!
I searched through a number of results trying to find good examples of electric violin performances and yours was the one to satisfy.
I hope you upload more music in the future, I'll be subscribing.
Works pretty well.
Sounds like a legit Celtic song.
This video has been added to my Favorites.
I'm really impressed by your skills.
One of the few covers I've seen that looks flawless and clean
just great!! 53 people that dislike this wouldn't know good music if it hit them on their heads. well done young man!
Oh maaaaaan. That was...AMAZING. I'm kind of speechless right now, so please excuse me. Just wanted to say that was wonderful!
I've played some violin, enough to know how insane this is. I agree with the "sounds Celtic" comment. It makes this version enjoyable on its own terms, more than just another electric-guitar cover. And it reveals one more layer of the genius of this composition.
Perfect from Manila here🎼🎻
Wonderful.. just brilliant, ive been wanting to take up the violin for a while now, and this is one of my fave songs, and it though." That would sound great on a violin.." and so i searched it, and here you are, crafting a glorius reproduction of such an awesome song.
that...
... is the most AWESOME instrument known to man!
During some parts, you can't even tell that it isn't guitar. FUCKING AMAZING!
MR. Carlson congratulations, this is amazing!
This surpassed all other covers.
Awesome
omg i just wana sit and like listen to him play for my life he's awesome
I can't explain this with words... Just awesome
Very nice, I've always felt that the classical instrument the electric guitar most resembled was the violin.
Hey Eddie,
As one of your students in your 143 sections, I am almost disappointed you never bragged about this or mentioned it! This is awesome!
Sincerely,
Alyanna
Your performance is a masterpiece! Amazing!
Eddie is deemed......worthy!
Listening to your cover I can imagine a Leprechaun dancing a country song!
It's just A W E S O M E!!!
your arrangements over the "impossible notes" was amazing
great cover
Oh man this is awesome. So far, this is the best cover of this song.
This is in one word 'Amazing'....
Great choice of cover, wish i could play it on guitar, let alone violin!!!!!
Really well done!
You are awesome. I wish I could be this good. I love cliffs of dover and the sound of the cecilio silent electric violin. Amazing
omgoshh dude, you rocked this song out in a VIOLIN that is so awesome! keep it up dude. your quite talented.
Bravo!! Bravo my man!!! That is awesome it's hard playing that on the guitar and I can only imagine trying to play Eric Johnson stuff on a violin. Way to go! Keep on rockin!!!
I really enjoyed that.... I have never seen anyone play like that. very impressive!
Only one word can describe this... awesome!
I am a violinist, and I was shocked someone could play eric johnson on the violin, nice job
Great music transcends players and instruments.
Bravo!
dude i have so much respect for you right now.
God Bless You... That was a breathtaking performance ... Kudos from India..Keep growing as a musician and of course a violinist.
@WereRabbbit
He was speaking metaphorically. Like "You haven't lived until you've been to Las Vegas." Odds are that this person isn't saying that you will physically be conceived when you first go to LV, since that would violate the law of causality, which is one law we ain't allowed to break.
Now that we've cleared that up, I'd like to say that this is thoroughly badass. Cliffs of Dover is a marvelous musical composition, and it's a joy to hear played skillfully on any instrument at all.
That has a nice sound to it..... I wish all solo violinists were like that....
How can 52 people NOT like this? This is epic! Flawless too!
really, violin is SO underrated, great job man, awesome
