Beat it solo on a tele
Музыка
Recorded on Aug 3rd 2022. One afternoon, I was nostalgic about MJ and Eddie so I decided to revisit the Beat It solo on the Telecaster. Why the tele? Because it was just sitting there in the corner and I was too lazy-a$$ to pull my Ibanez RG (with trem) from storage.
Update 2: When it's around 35 Celsius (or 95 Fahrenheit), I sometimes wear shorts. I think I'm not the only one. Feel free to comment on the musical aspect of the video. Thx.
Update 1: It's been pointed out I may bear a resemblance to the vsauce character guy. I assure you, I'm NOT him so no need to comment on that.
Gear: The guitar is a Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster. My model is a few years old so I don't have the push-pull switch on the tone control. However, the rest is just as described on the Fender website. It was plugged in a Boss gt-100 board. I use very simple effects: normal disto at about 70% gain, slight delay, slight reverb. Nothing fancy otherwise the tone becomes garbage. I think there was also a 2db boost at 1k freq to cut through the mix. The amp is a small 10w Yamaha thr10x (green) on full clean. This was recorded with my iPhone sitting straight on the amp.

That tone man sheesh
Three reasons I like it: a) it's not note per note (it could be good, but boring) b) You kept a good timing during tapping (I heard some guitarists who were a little "late") c) You showed one more time how versatile a Tele can be 🙂

You can do anything on a Tele. I bought one off a guy at work for a steal he needed the money. I never wanted one but I couldn't pass up the deal. Anyways I haven't played my Jackson, Charvel, Kramer or my Les Paul since. I can't put it down.
Dad burning down the house when left alone with his rig…😂 love it❤ respect 🎉
Guitar Hero Dad for the win! This is outstanding! 👏👏👏
Awesome. Didn't just mechanically copy the solo but played it artistically with feel and soul.
Almost ran out of fretboard there! Absolutely nailed a whammy-less version!

You even recreated the door knock, with perfect timing! This was very beautiful! You weren't playing it note for note, but you got the soul of it down to a t.
Bloody brilliant mate! Beautiful solo, and without a whammy bar? I’ll be damned. Never stop playing you absolute legend!
I didn’t expect to like this when I saw the thumbnail in my feed but decided to click … because who would be crazy enough to attempt this iconic solo on a tele??! You crushed it dude! So much joy in your playing … I have a feeling EVH himself would’ve approved. Bravo 👏👏👏

There's no other word to say rather than incredible.
this is the type of video that just makes you laugh because of how good it is and how happy it makes you
These specific Nashville Teles are killer! The pickups in them can indeed cover that EVH Brown sound.
What the actual f.... you nailed it, the tone, the spot on intonation... wow
There is a lot of personality and feel in your playing. I really like your version! Awesome job rock on
Stunning! Thankyou for sharing this with us!
This is indeed a killer solo - well done!
I took one look at you before you started playing and said to myself “ this dude is about to kill it”. I’m not sure how I knew, but I was just convinced that you dedicated the time and put in the effort to really kill it. As someone who plays myself, I can really appreciate how great you did. When your faves moves involuntarily like that, it shows you’re one with your instrument. If your face isn’t moving like that, your heart ain’t in it. Great job man. Loved it!

There're little hints. :) Takes one to know one.. How people stand or hold their instruments. Yeah we pick up on those and get the "this guy can play" - to be fair I did NOT pick on on those with this guy. I saw a VERY polished telecaster so I guessed it was one of those collectors who don't really play that much. Glad to be wrong! :D he did kill it.

Just a friendly heads up; what your comment actually means is his playing would disgust Eddie Van Halen, which Im pretty sure wasn’t your intention. If something makes someone “turn over in their grave”, it means they would dislike it, at least in the US. Maybe it’s different in Brazil, though.
Loved the feeling and musicality! Really made this solo your own mate thanks for sharing
Wow! Just Wow! Great job!
Smashed it. Surprisingly accurate tone from a telecaster - one of my axes of choice 🪓 🎸
I see so many ppl on youtube just shredding their scales without feeling or relation to any chords. Because of this i rarely like the guitar solos. But yours must be one of the best ive ever seen. Technique, feels, passion, relation to the melody... just perfect! Keep rockin 🎉
This is magnificent!
This has made my morning!
So sick!! Really love the way you made it your own, whilst still keeping it unmistakably Eddie, AND all that with a fixed bridge! Killer!
Most of the fun I get from playing this song on drums is getting to that solo section. It's such a time capsule piece
Didn’t expect that dude, you nailed it!
Fantastic job!!
One of my favourite interpretations of the beat it solo. Been binge watching lots of versions of this and it’s by far the best. Definitely put a lot of soul back into it :)
raw, organic and just pure jamming vibes! None of this overly compressed forced, chopped and edited pre planned videos! I loved this
Awesome man🔥🔥 looking forward for more to come!
That was perfect! Great job👏
Okay, anyone who can even get close to playing this solo well gets a solemn head nod from me. That was the nuts. Damn, brother!
popped up on my recommended...you slayed that sh*t man! well done
Great!! Clean and excellent 👌
Awesome solo work!!! Good job
Wow you're fantastic, I keep finding myself so impressed by telecasters in the right hands
That was really good! You nailed the high energy of Eddie and that awesome tele tone, together! Well done.
That is some top notch guitar playing/fretboard work. Thank you.
That was incredible to watch🔥👏
I was looking before you got to the actual solo and I asked myself, “how is he going to play the solo without the whammy bar?” I was pleasantly surprised and greatly impressed.
Absolutely insane. Wouldn’t even be able to tell that wasn’t the original if my eyes were closed.
You flipping killed it dude - that was awesome! 🤘🏻
Amazing. Bravo!!!
I'm sold. You did a great job. The tone is out of this world, too.
Man that Tone is on point! I don't think I've heard a version where the tone is this close to the original... Both in the low end and the high end, great job!
Oh, this is so good! Cheers from Portugal!
You made it your own. So much soul, so much dexterity. Hats off👏
The fun you’re having … nailed it!
This man has been waiting and practicing his whole life just to give us this wonderful video. Amazing job brother!
Sick sick playing and tone man.. well done
Nailed it, love the sound and the just the share fun you're having too.🙌
Well done man. I think it's safe to say that people will look to this video as an example of how to play the solo. Incredible job!
A proper live solo. Fantastic.
Bro totally loved everything. Your house, guitar, tone, skills. Great man!
Masterfully done.
Dude!! When you come out of the solo, back into the main riff.... So fecking clean....seamless!!
Such a good version. And you performed it so clean, hands down
Damn good. The tone sounds so good!
Mannn… just killed it 🔥🔥. Your enthusiasm and attitude added a swag to this video 🔥💯🫡
I went to your channel and you didn’t seem like you wanted to pursue the KZread thing for guitar’s but I’d encourage it. I think I speak for all of us when I say we need more of your content. You completely nailed it. This was so satisfying to watch.
I have to admit that your performance was better than I was expecting. 👍👍🎸

Bro way to go, just killed it yeah 😅🤘
Beat It solo absolutely OWNED. Keep up the great work brother! Loved your personal signatures throughout which truly made it your own.
I'm very picky with solo covers, and this was fantastic. Finally somebody plays it with some feeling. Gave me chills, man.
Effin nailed it dude. So good!
Great job, dude! I love the way you're feeling it and having fun while you play!
That slide at the end of the solo was so smooth. Nice.
This is seriously good! Good job! Well done!
Jeeez dude this is so ridiculously sick. And that solo sounds so GOOD ON A TELE
Simply awesome!!
