@@liljohn1064 improvisation is a extension of the work improvise which means to perform without preparation or in other words to make music using your own original ideas. Playing a melody of EVH solos is not improv neither is it creative and can I play them yes I can. So I’m not talking smack and I’m not trolling. I suggest buying a dictionary and reading it. Then know that this was neither original nor creative. Talent, sure but I would be more impressed if he did something original.

Lots of people can play it exactly the way it sounds on the Album, but you played it the way it was meant to be played without a net, and you killed it. Eddie never played it live the same way twice. I know because I saw them Live around a dozen times. Your Parents have raised you right, and I’m sure they are very Proud of you. Be Proud of yourself Young Man, because you are gonna go places with Talent that immense at such a young age. I highly doubt that any of your Class Mates have any idea of what they were lucky enough to just witness in person. That made the hair on my arms stand up.

Bruh that is crazyyyyyyy, u are super talented and have seriously poured some time into learning how to play the guitar. Wow, that was incredible, i am speechless!

Dude you did so well that you make me want to practice more to play at my high school. Good shit man.

Wow. This came up in my feed and I honestly had low expectations, expecting it to be a cute attempt. I was a teenager when Van Halen hit the scene and was the reason I started playing. Phenomenal playing of Eddie’s live solo. I’ve seen Eddie live about 4 times. Your courage and dedication to play like him and give it as a free gift to the school at a talent show….wow. Nobody who heard you except maybe a few of the sports coaches who may have heard you will ever have a clue of what you just did or the work it took to play that, but I do. Keep playing, keep pursuing your dream. In fact, this is just what Eddie did. Don’t give up on your dream or leave playing bc you “have to go to college” or get a job. “Successful people find a way,” as they say. If you want it kid, you got it. Never give it up and Eddie will really be proud.

Really nice job! Can you imagine being the kid who has to follow that?!? 🤘✌️

Holy Crap! This was amazing! Every once in a while, some kid in a high school talent show, turns out to be a musical genius! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This kid has rock star written all over him!! Superb.

A lot of emotional and perfect playing in my opinion, I haven't seen anything like this for a long time and really proud to found this video 👍🏻

Reminds me of when I was a kid back in the 70s, time goes by too fast. Great job!!

I literally just heard the 70s 80s and the 90s of Metal Rock solo ALL IN ONE. Let me know if I missed a decade. OMG Yes

Those dive bombs and sound effects at 3:44 - 3:53 were astoundingly amazing!

I am in awe, for being a high school talent show, you have no competition. This was phenomenal and you rock.

Great job kid! You made it your own! Horns held high!

This was fantastic. Honoring what came before while also adding something new.

"We're not worthy" Outstanding.

Hot damn that was incredible! Never stop shredding, dude!
