Many people think of Van Halen as the best at playing solos... in reality his rhythm parts are unmatchable, not technically, but due to the idea he had of the guitar... it was all there, power, groove, tone ... and you are an incredible guitarist, who interprets it at its best:

I wonder how many people understand how much work this musician put into creating this. Unbelievable. Wow.

6.00 minutes of pure insanity!!! This is brutality!!!! What memories!!!!

OMFG!!! I've listened to TONS of Eddie covers over the years, but no one has done a better job of encapsulating the tone, the licks and, especially, the FEEL of Eddie!

Damn. Eddie would be proud. I love how seamless the song transitions (and use of downtuner) are.

I started the guitar at 15 because of Eddie, I’m 60 and still as addicted. Beautiful medley. Well done! 👏🏼

If Eddie was alive, he'd be so very proud of you!!! ❤❤❤

Awesome tribute to the greatest guitarist to ever walk this earth. RIP Eddie

Hey Shredders! Thanks for watching. What EVH moments should I immortalise in the next instalment? I think the Sammy era deserves some love…

1978 Van Halen was my first concert. You just played ten years of my life. Incredible talent and thank you.

I think you got the “tone is in the hands” message that Ed always preached. Excellent.

This guy need more attention.... Splendid ❤

That riffage during "Mean Street" sends chills up my spine . Nothing touches how awesome that tune is .

What the heck! The guitar, the licks, the vibes, the tone of the amp and effects, man you nail it!

Absolutely fantastic playing. A real tribute to the King 👑. From a 55 year old life long Van Halen fan. 😊

The Jump intro harmonics were awesome. What a phenomenal medley.

This was fantastic. Been an EVH fan all my life and appreciate the tribute.

No words, this may be the best EVH tribute yet

Eddie van Halen didn't pass away, he just moved to venus where it always rains metal 🤘🤘. But seriously, thank you so much, Sir Edward Van Halen, for the music you gave us. There was never one like you and there will NEVER be another. Thank you for being the legend you were and are, and forever will be. The world of rock/metal was never the same when you entered and it will never be the same when you departed. I love you, sir, you were more than a musician. You were an inspiration, a hero, and a legend, and always will be. I love you, man, Rest easy for me, and God bless.

Thank you for show us in 6 minutes the genius of Eddie Van Halen. Amazing job, Eddie would be proud!

Wow absolutely incredible . I’ve heard a lot of people play Eddie but that was absolutely by far the best I’ve ever heard

Killer work Tom! You nailed the EVH tone and licks.🤘🤘💥

Dang dude you kick ass! It must have taken a good deal of time to play that well and sound so much like Eddie! I was blown away listening to this medley. Simply amazing!

very well done, honest and sincere homage to the immortal Master. as you said, "Eddie will never be conquered" and you've been respectful, i think the Master smiled approvingly 🤘💛🤘

Your tone and playing are amazing! You make it look so easy. "I don't ask for permission!" Unchained is, was, has been and always will be my favorite VH song.

I don't know if any video I've ever watched has given me goosebumps the way this did. Thank you for sharing this.

This is UNREAL!!! Fantastic job! I love hearing all the riffs back to back

That was amazing! I could listen to this all day! Thanks for the generosity of sharing the Helix preset and backing track as well!

This is one that I will watch a hundred times. Incredible playing and the tone is perfect.

This was totally f****** awesome oh my god what a f****** great job bro bravo bravo rest in peace Eddie can't listen to Van Halen without crying still

All of his riffs, even ones you didn't play here, show exactly why Ed was the true GOAT. No one did it like him ever and no one will. 🎸 Rest in peace Edward

Tears to my eyes with fond memories, and very inspiring. Thank you.

i keep replaying/ rewatching this - its fantastic playing.

WOW! That was some dedicated learn'n of all things Eddie. Any Sammy era has to include Finish What Ya Started, and Poundcake!

Such a kick ass medley!! Excellent tone too. You Rock! 🤘

OMG!!! this is INSANE! one of the best EVH cover medley.

Wouah ! Mais quel plaisir de te voir jouer comme Eddie !! Merci pour ce moment magique !

I never thought anyone could be just as awesome on eruption great job buddy Rock on

AMAZING JOB! Very well done! I'm not familliar with all of Eddie's catalog, but certainly I felt like watching him playing in your play, because you replicate really well his signature swing! Keep on going!

You don´t know how much I enjoyed this video, Van Halen my favorite rock band ever, thanks

Chills! When you get the chills you know its really good! Big EVH fan, saw them in 84'! Superb playing, thank you Mr. Tom!

One of the best - if not the best - Beat It solo cover I've heard/seen.... tone.. skills.... awesome job.

The way you transition from song to song is awesome!

Men ! What a cover ! Great sound, great playing and most of all great feel of Eddie’s playing ! 👍

Thanks for reminding me of how truly awesome he was

Dude is absolutely brilliant at one minute. Love you man. Good job.

Excellent! You totally have that Falling down the stairs and landing on your feet feel of EVH

Thank you for your skills and creativity. This has brought so much happiness and memories and the play list and bridges to connect the songs were perfect too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. EVH in our hearts for ever.

This was one of the BEST covers i have listened to. This was REALLY good. Loved it. Love from Sweden😊

Incredible. You absolutely pinned it maestro. I’ve subscribed to you for more great playing

Dude, if the camera had moved to the head and it was EVH himself I wouldn't bat an eyelid! Perfect playing!

I love this so much! Every now and then I meet someone who doesn't know his work.... I could use this to showcase the awesomeness of VH

Great transitions, awesome tone and an amazing show of dedication to not just play the licks but also capture so many of the nuances in Ed's playing. I found myself watching your picking hand just as much as the fretting hand, very nice work!

That was great dude. 🤘 I always love watching people play Eddies stuff as his solos are so full of nuance, and it's interesting to see who catches it and plays the tiny little things that matter. Obviously you are doing a medley and a tiny bit of you is going into it also. Hats off dude.

I tend not to listen to Van Halen covers - but here I am listenin' to this for what - the 12th time. Incredible! Gobsmacked at how great this sounds - you nailed everything.

Love it dude! Awesome EVH medley and great choice of songs.

When I hear these licks and the scale of all the sounds I think Eddy was out of this world for me he will always be number 1.

Amazing sounds and playing 😮I'm in awe

Besides the amazing guitar playing, the tone is perfect. Love it

The best EVH playing other than Ed himself. Amazing. Thank you!

To be able to pick up a guitar and do what you do is a blessing from heaven above. Fantastic!

That was preety badass. And the way you interspersed the musics was perfect, especially the end of Jump's solo for Eruption. Grade 10!

Very good! Only subtle differences I can pick up. Love it!

Best cover of 'Jump' solo ive heard yet. The timing of that last bit is _almost always_ messed up in covers; subtle, but so obvious when it's wrong. Nicely done 👍

Loved every minute of it..that opening riff on Hot for Teacher was especially good..👍👍

❤🎉. Sat he stunned, amazed, in ore.. Then a tear in my eye, thinking of Eddie's passing. Being the age I am, I have every VH vinyl, and then the CD's. ... you awoke my love of every album. Mate, what a tribute. Thank you 😢

Yes! I agree with everyone here, FANTASTIC! Stoked you got Mean Street in there!

Truly brilliant. I know the time factor that must have gone into this, it took me a week to get the jump solo down, that was 10yrs ago and sadly I have forgotten most of it. Again that was amazing in everyway. 🤟

Beautiful!, tone and playing is spot on!

Killer tone, what a pleasure to hear such playing quality...

THAT! Was so much FUN! Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing this with all of us. At one point I laughed out loud. The joy still shines through after all these years. Thank you, Mr. Tom. Great effin' work! :)

Awesome feel and vibrato !!

Yes you have inspired me to jam out again. Man I feel the music. Great songs great memories!

Hi there Tom, wow man thank you so much for sharing with us, I just am in awe of your playing, it's tasty!! You inspire me to grab my strat and practice my scales, thank you!!

Simply Awesome!!!! Eddie would be proud!!!!

Dude, thank you so much! This video along with the memories it brought back to me, literally brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the memories.

Hell yeah!! Keep on rocking out the EVH licks & tricks

it was super killler bro! i couldn't imagine putting all this together and what it took. cheers!!!

Fabulous! Long live EVH's music!

That was beautiful!! Long live the King!!!

I'm blown away! You are clearly a dedicated EVH student. Many try, some come close but you kicked ass and took names with this medley. I can't wait for the next installment of the Sammy era. You earned a new subscriber big time! 🤘

Bravo well done. Eddie was a freaking genius

Lookin great dude! impossible to listen to this stuff and not feel some type of way, keep it up!!!

The ultimate tribute.. absolutely banging 👏

Brilliant!! Thank you for this sonic treat!

Best 6 continuous minutes of my whole day!!!!

A great Tribute to The Master. Thank you.

Love the on the fly drop D switch at 2:36. Smooth

Mean street is one of my fav from evh, good playlist

Simply Beautiful!

Vraiment très bon c’est une belle prestation et un excellent homage 🙌

I've never heard anyone emulate EVHs tone and touch like this before. His screaming pinch harmonics were never properly duplicated until now. Bravo!

Smooth touch + perfect vibrato！👍👍👍

I especially loved that really cool section, you know that bit, the part that is awesome and everyone raves about!!!

Mindblowing, as always

Good heavens!!! That was INCREDIBLE!!!!

WOW! That was AMAZING! Thank you for doing this!

You need a contract like right now!!!! Awesome cover of Eddie!!
