Everything Jacob does is spot on.

So there are six people that can't recognize Talent when they see it ? He's got the feel he's got the tone, the attack, the Finesse and the talent. There's no fumbling there's no guessing. I've seen dozens of Eddie clones. He's no clone and can play a much wider range than that. I'm guessing those six people are probably swifties

They must of hit dislike by mistake.

My man was sweet perfection. Did Eddie proud.

@@servethesongs where's your video? Show us how it is done correct, please.... jack arse

how do you even see how many dislikes didn’t they take that out so you can’t see it so long ago ?

It's in Alex's drum part on Light Up The Sky.

Yep. Satriani was struggling with the intro. Should have hired Mr. Deraps!

Not quite. Surprised at the miss with the harmonics.

@@karlhouseknecht satch will have it down by the tour and will be consistant for a tour.. satch is a god not a dungeon dweller

Cause he didn’t actually play it. They may know how to play it and go thru the motions without guitar plugged in l. But the sound playing thru speakers isn’t coming from his playing, u can tell cause it sounds to perfect, even if eddy himself played it live it wouldn’t sound so thick and perfect like it does in this video. Sadly it’s like this all thru out KZfaq covers. Not saying he’s not correct on how he’s playing it but no one playing it live would sound that good.

You do realize that he overdubbed the original recording over this video ? It's painfully obvious.

​@@wyattblackwood3927this is fake? Are you sure? It wasn't obvious to me

Not. The sustain is way different at the end.@@wyattblackwood3927

@@wyattblackwood3927 Interesting

@@wyattblackwood3927 You can just let it fade out in post the same as in the actual original recording, what's your point?

​@@larrmad7919 no it's not, I lined up the video with the original recording from Fair Warning and it's identical, Plus at the end of his video you can hear the same post-production plate reverb that was added as that harmonic fades out. Also, you can tell how different his guitar sounds when he's actually playing the Mean Street riff than it does from the intro. He overdubbed Eddie Van Halen's original recording over the video to make everyone think he can play it exactly like him. Now I'm not saying he can't play it because obviously there's other videos of him doing it live, but it doesn't sound exactly like Eddie Van Halen's recording the way this does. Believe what you want but that's the truth. I've been involved in video and music recording and editing since the 80s, so I know what I'm talking about.

@@wyattblackwood3927I don’t think you’re correct about that…. It’s clearly a live recording. He’s using the Sunset Sound plate reverb preset to make it sound like the studio version. Also, the studio version has an Eventide Harmonizer on it while Jacob’s recording doesn’t. In Jacob’s recording you can hear his pick attack very clearly while on the record you can’t. Sorry about writing this whole essay to get my point across, but Jacob is just THAT good!

That's a tough call but best Fair Warning era is best Eddie tone for sure IMO

Great VH, Bad originals on the channel but hope he gets there some day. Great player.

Good at copying/covering VH but his original songs aren't anything special. Awful band name and logo as well.

@@KokoTheGorilla69 He will be a rock star...follow him and you will see. If you find a guy who can play like him and sing like Ian Gillian you let me know

Jacob has been around a long time and he's a skilled player but rock star ? No

What's the difference between a rock star and a musician? A rock star is only in it for the money, fame, adoration.

Satriani was like that day Rudy Giuliani gave his speech in front a landscaper 😂

yeah but how many times did this guy practice this? Satch said he knows he butchered it, but he hadn't rehearsed it and wasn't expecting to be asked to play it. And it was 630 in the morning.. All this hate for Satch off one off the cuff request.. Give it a rest everyone knows Joe's gonna blow minds this next summer. He did say he'll definitely have it down and ready by the summer tour.

You're really not a very intelligent guy Mike for so many reasons regarding that comment.

@@rubicon-oh9km to play EVH you need to practice for about 10,000 plus hours from the age of 12. Satriani is good but Jacob Deraps is a true EVH master, and there are only a very, very, small number of EVH masters. Like 2 and one of them is dead!

​@@564df6g5h4d6f5g4h6d5that Australian guy from the Pink Floyd cover band isn't bad.

There are a lot more than those people who dedicated their lives to sounding like Edward .

All 3 Canadian 😁

OMG that was my first thought. I was sharing Deraps videos on Reddit all morning griping about Joe, and then this drops... perfect timing!!!

He sure did!!!

Yep! 😂 Joe’s a great guitar player, but doesn’t cover VH like Jacob.

Lol!! I was just going to say this!! Haha Dude, you nailed it!!!

Satriani is very overrated. Great example of born at the right time period, at the right place
