- I hate these kinds of posts but this one is an exception in my case. Rest In Peace my guitar hero Eddie Van Halen... A man who simply changed my life and innovated his way into rock history and will be so sorely missed. My heartfelt condolences to Alex, Wolfgang and the family.
The reason I picked up the guitar in the first place was seeing my Dad play 'Panama' on one of the guitars seen in this photo when I was 4 years old. Ed was the soundtrack in my youth and despite the music that was circulating through school at the time I remained a die hard Van Halen fan and always will. All of my influences were inspired by him from Vai, Satriani, Satchel, Paul Gilbert, Gus G, Zakk Wylde and so many more. He still continues to inspire me today. I couldn't have achieved what I have so far without him, simple. Devastated. đđŁđą

Wonderfully done, Cam. It just illustrates how many techniques he added to the guitar lexicon. He wasn't guitar, guitar was him.

A lot of the content in this video was recorded over the last 3 years.
I'm proud of you for picking the guitar up and letting Eddies spirit flow through you. Its what he would have wanted. Rock on brother!.
The year was 1987 ..I just started high school.. didn't take much notice in music/instruments etc.. Then the school gets a new music teacher..he looked pretty cool.. not like you would imagine a music teacher..anyway his main instrument was piano/keyboards...during the one of his lessons he lets slip that he plays in a cover band at weekends..a few of my friends are excited by this ..some of my friends had got electric guitars..acoustic guitars ..keyboards the previous Xmas ..but they where struggling to afford lessons etc..No CZcamsrs like Cameron cooper in those days! Anyway as the weeks went by the music lessons in school turned into question and answer sessions about the music teachers band ..eventually he talks about the guy who started his band ..(can't remember his name to this day ) I myself still wasnt really interested in music..but could see the passion in my friend Peters eyes (who had recently bought an electric guitar and amp package) he also had started to grow his hair long ..lol ..Anyway the music teacher organises an after school club for anyone wanting to learn instruments and invites his band member to help out !! so I gets dragged along by Peter to the first after school session ..about 10 people turned up ..The guy in the band has a Drum kit rigged up from the school equipment (which wasn't very good ) he has a Yamaha DX7 with a Roland sound module of his own rigged up ..and a black flight case unopened behind him.. So this guy starts on the Drums ..Wow he blows me away ..don't know what song he was playing if any ..but he sounds awesome talks about the drumkit ..etc.. then he moves onto the keyboard and plays Jump by van halen ..all of it ..the lesson ends ..I'm starting to think ..I quite like this music stuff ..when I gets home I asked my mum for a drumkit ? she just looks at me and carries on making tea ...I said what about a keyboard ..she says maybe for Xmas if you can put headphones in it đ ..So the next after school club ..we are down to 5 members ..teacher says the club will wind up if we only getting 5 members !! We all gather in close to this guy ..I mean I'm 2ft away from him ..he takes this cream coloured Kramer guitar out of the flight case ..the guys are like wow that guitar is awesome ..he plugs it in to this Marshall amp and cranks it up ..and guess what he plays !! ERUPTION(which I'd never heard of) the whole thing ..to see and hear that piece of music right before your eyes live never leaves you ..he finishes it off ..me and the other 4 guys are just in total shock ..how did he make all those sounds ..why was he tapping the fretboard like a piano..needless to say ..the next week when the word got around there was over 20 members at the after school club ..I started listening to Van Halen..My dad got me a white Stratocaster copy ..I learned to play to a reasonable standard..(still can't play Eruption though đ) I wish Cameron cooper videos were around in 1987 ..He truly embraces that EVH sound ..EVH has pushed the electric guitar too its limits ..RIP Edward ..YOUR SPIRIT WILL LIVE LONG IN CAMERON COOPER x
Great Tribute, man! Eddie was, is and always will be the greatest inspiration for all musicians. What a loss... đđąđ
Absolutely gutted to have lost such a talent. Couldnt have had a better tribute than this Cam.
Hi Cameron, I think a many of us (like me) started playing guitar because of Eddie. Thank YOU for keeping his legacy alive for the younger generation!
Guitarists around the world felt that. RIP EDDIE
I'm sorry but why would anyone dislike this? He's taking his time to pay tribute to probably the best and most innovative guitar player ever. This is not a time for childishly disliking videos honouring a legend. Rest easy Eddie
Some idiots of course
They're from guitar players who have been playing a lot longer, saw this, and said, "F@%k!"
They're jealous
He would have been proud of that buddy...R.I.P Eddie you will be sorely missed by millions đ€đŒđđ€đŒđž
King Edward Van Halen RIP. Edward Van Halen was the reason I started playing the guitar in the the late 70's. I started building guitars in the 1990's, then opened a guitar manufacturing company in 2007. All of the guitars we built, borrowed innovations King Eddie innovated. I.E., carbon fiber rods in the necks, potted pickups, heel adjust wagon wheel necks, holy grail wood combos, and voiced pickups to mimic that quintessential "Brown Sound". In my book Edward Van Halen was the best guitarist ever. He changed the way guitars are made and changed the way they are played. We lost a national treasure!
"to hell with the rules If it sounds right then it is" - Eddie Van Halen
âdonât be sad because itâs over be happy because it happenedâ
all we can do now is look up In the sky and be thankful for everything he has done
R.I.P. king edward van halen đ
This is my silver lining. We are unbelievably lucky that there was ever an Eddie Van Halen in the first place. I'm really sad but I know somebody up there must like us to be blessed with all those years of his music, talent and inspiration. Heaven just got a lot cooler.
Amen.
Yes exactly. If he never existed we would't be sad now because he would never die, but since he did in fact exist, what is there to be sad for?
Many of us try to play the notes, emulate the vibe and do our thing but few of us can say we regularly inspire others to play. Thats something you and Ed have in common Cameron. Keep the fire alive my friend!
Really really kind of you man thanks a lot!
Thank you.... Very much, long live EDDIE VAN HALEN
The greatest guitar player there ever was, and ever will be.
without a doubt
Damn straight!!
Fitting tribute to a guitarist who changed so much and inspired a million fingers to pick up guitar. Music is everything. RIP Eddie.
EVH didn't just play the guitar, he became one with it, pouring out his soul through it! A true genius, and the reason I bought my first guitar in 1985.
Saddest day since Dime. In 1984 I was 9 and my first rock cassette tape was Van Halens 1984. That album is what started my love for EVH and has continued for all these yrs that's past. RIP Eddie, you where a god to millions of us fans. Prayers for Wolfie and Alex and rest of his family. His music and badass riffs will NEVER be forgotten.
Sensationell, unabhÀngig davon, dass du die Lieder alle nachspielst, du spielst genau so wie Eddie, ich könnte stundenlang zuhören, Hammer, Hammer! Respekt!
deep condolences eddie.. R.I.P đą
Made me cry. I love all those parts too
Gone but he will never be forgotten, Rock in peace Eddie, đ€đœđ€đœđ€đœthe guitar world wont be the same without you.
Itâs unbelievable to think that Eddie passed, truly a hero and inspiration to many. Rip Edward Van Halen
A most excellent tribute to the one & only.
đžđžđžđžđ€đœđ€đœđ€đœđ€đœ
Besides beeing one of the most influencial guitarists of all time,Eddie also revolutionised guitar design.
HeÂŽs essentially the "father of the superstrat",he didnÂŽt care about traditions but instead wanted always to improve the guitar as an instrument.
RIP King Edward.
Supreme tribute to the King!
He may be gone, but his playing is immortalised and will inspire generations to come. The flame will burn forever
Thank you.
More beatuful....
Great creativity...
EVH WOOF!!!
My goodness friend! Thats really good "Eddie" there!
Honestly, Iâve been in a haze since Tuesday. I cried driving home from work. I cried more that night. I cried the next day reading tributes. Watching this actually has been uplifting... and motivating. I think I can finally go play my guitar now... for me it was always always Eddie- from day one. RIP King Edward đ
Great. Watching this reminds us how far ahead of the game he was. I remember hearing 1984 in 1984 on new years day and it sounded like the 'future.' RIP EVH â€ïžđ
Pretty much the only CZcamsr that could do his playing justice.
My heart is broken, but this has made me smile and tap my feet.
Awesome job, Cameron. His music will live on and continue to inspire.
Cathédrale was PERFECT ! Thanks !
Like so many...Eddie inspired us to play guitar. I always believed that although there are many awesome guitar players out there...GOD gave EVH a special gift...His playing was effortless and he always looked like he was enjoying every note...
Goodbye Eddie...And Thanks!
Eddie will live on in pickers all over the world. Forever. Some kids jaw is dropped to the floor right now listening to Eruption for the first time đ€đž
R.I.P., sad to see another legend disappear. I may be young and not even listen to EVH, but heâs such a big influence on my guitar playing and many others, directly or indirectly.
It's great you did this for Eddie, he would like it..Rock in peace ...Eddie. you are missed. You pretty skilled Cam, you really know V H music.. bravo
Eddie will be shining in the sky seeing all the love he gets
Boy's got the fingers, the attitude and the TONE. Nailed it: Trifecta. Cameron
I was truly saddened as well by the passing of EVH. Almost as much as the passing of PRINCE!! BOTH were genius musicians, entertainers and songwriters!! Their musical contributions will live on forever!!
a greatđž tribute to Eddie RIP guitar masterđž
Eddie inspired every guitarist , including me.
Rest in power , legendđ
As a fellow guitarist who grew up on EVH I only have one request. NEVER TAKE THIS DOWN!!!!!!!!!! I needed this today and I can guarantee I will return many many times. Challenge others to find better tribute on CZcams. AMAZING closeups!!!!
Ed is not dead. God just needs guitar lessons.
Masterfully played!!!! RIP Eddie - you are so very missed.
I so happy Eddie was able to share his creations with us... I'm also happy he inspired so many like you to share your creations and interpretations with us. RIP Eddie
GRAN VIDEO.
RIP.EVH.đđđđđđđđđđKING OF THE 6 STRING.
Wow bruh, u have it down my brother, every single lick! Rip EVH
a beautiful tribute to a true icon, played with the respect that would make Eddie share his wonderful smile, thank you Cameron!
I canât believe I can only like more than once!
RIP king Edward. LIke all the 80's kids from my generation, I picked up a guitar because of Eddie.
Nice tribute. The intro to drop dead legs gave me a little chill. Better times. Eddie's playing inspired so many of us. Nice picking
Ă un grande dolore sentire che un musicista infinito come Van Halen non c'Ăš piĂč, la musica perde un grandissimo chitarrista, un artista che ha creato un suo stile e un suo suono riconoscibile fra mille. Ci mancherĂ , ma la sua musica rimarrĂ per sempre. W Van Halen!!! W il rock!!!
I just listened to the whole first Van Halen album on Vinyl to commemorate the legacy of Edward Van Halen and i think that we shouldnât feel sorry over his death we should instead commemorate his legacy and all the good things that he has done
âdonât be sad because itâs over, be happy because it happenedâ
...doesn't work. I'm sad.
Your playing is awesome. It's honoring Edward.
Great video, you sure can play! Holy Hell.
Rest in peace Eddie, you will be remembered forever!
What a sad sad day Cameron. RIP King Edward, he was an inspiration to us all and a pure genius. Nice tribute mate.
Eddie would be proud of you Mate.
We all will sustain his legacy till the end of the world.
RIP Eddie.
God Bless his soul.
Eddie is not suffering anymore. He rocked the world and changed lives for the better. Though his guitar now lays silent his spirit and music go on forever đ
As Eddie said "never stop playing". You live up to that all the time Cam. Terrible loss but he left us with so much to learn and be inspired from. RIP Eddie đą
Wonderful tribute to eddie, cameron!
Now he can jam along with jimi hendrix, stevie ray vaughan, chuck berry and all the others. I think almost every guitar player or fan of rockmusic feeling sad today. THE KING IS GONE - LONG LIVE THE KING!
Cameron , you are the reason for me buying my Charvel and so absolutely happy with it...cheers! oh ya forgot to tell you your an inspiring guitarist, awesome, you nail it everytime!!
Thanks Cameron. Much appreciated.
I immediately thought of you when I heard the news.....im sure Eddie would be proud dude......and what a legacy to have.......all the new generation of shredders inspired (as I was) by this great man and electronic enthusiast.....very sad news mate and in this crap year too......stay well and shread the crap out of his licks man.keep the guys legacy going Cam.....its a Nobel cause,it really is.
That was a beautiful tribute . It brought a tear to my eye . EVH set us all free with his music . Many thanks
Thank you, Cam. I needed this. Typing through tears. I'm shocked, I'm very sad. Technique aside, he's just my absolute favorite songwriter and his music has been the soundtrack to my life. I was in my car outside school yesterday getting ready to teach 10 lessons when the news came on the radio. Devastating. I'm taking solace in having had him in our lives for 40 or so years. How lucky are we? He will live on through his music (I taught Ain't Talkin' Bout Love 3 times today.) He's not gone. Fuck that. Eddie will always be there for us. Thanks again, Cam. Peace.
R.I.P. Edward "Eddie" Van Halen
Cameron...I really love your Tribute to Eddie.
I'm so sad but your vid let a warm feeling in my head and all my body.
The best Tribute to celebrate the genius of this man who lived only for the guitar and his art.
Thanck you for this vid.
Everything you play reminds and celebrates what Eddie has given us to make our lives better.
All this fantastic music will remain until the end of time as the testimony of the too brief passage on our planet of this pure Genius...RIP Eddie...đą
Thanck you Cameron...
His music will live on in our hearts, and will be taken to the next level in the hands of lads like you.
What a tribute did respectfully by one of the best guitarists that I listen to at the present time. Thank you, CAM for doing this, and RIP Edward!
Absolutley incredible. Rest in power, EVH.
Eddie was my favorite guitarist of all time, and a huge inspiration for me to become a guitarist myself. I can tell youâre a true fan, Cam. But, your talent of playing his riffs EXACTLY how Eddie played, shows that his talent and legacy DOES live on! Be proud Cam
A great tribute Cam,I first saw Van Halen in 1978, they were backing up Black Sabbath in Portland Me,then in 1982 at the same venue for the Fair Warning tour,he blew my mind then and is Rock biggest Icon,he will be sadly missed by so many including me. RIP Eddie. .đ
I want to thank you for this. I like many others have been so down since Eddie's passing. Your playing has cheered me up. I know he's up there smiling. Like he always said " its about the music, keep playing ."
Iâm sure that Eddie is looking down from heaven, and smiling at you
Brilliantly done. Wonderful.
I can't imagine how much we would have missed if he'd never been around to pick up a guitar, both from him and everybody he inspired and influenced. Grieving and reflecting is such a difficult process but this.... this is as good a celebration of who he was as a guitarist and musician to so many of us as I can imagine. Thank you.
Great tribute, I never got to meet him but I saw VH in concert 11 different times over the years.
Back in the days of General admission tickets, we would show up early and get front row.
At the end of the Fair warning tour Eddie reached over and handed me a guitar pick. I have it in our safe deposit box along with all my concert ticket stubs.
Rest In Peace Edward Van Halen, you were one of a kind!
I will always surely miss eddie van halen hes was great inspiration to my guitar playing rest in peace eddie
Nailed it my brother..... THANK YOU
Thats the most accurate rendition of the Beat it solo I've ever heard. Amazing bro!
I don't know how you managed to capture his essence, but you've done so, in beautiful fashion. After all this time, I'm still processing Eddie's death. I really can't believe it, even to this day. I truly appreciate your tribute. His legacy lives on in the hearts, souls and fingers of players like you and I. Thanks for a wonderful video.
Thanks Cameron. I watched the Steve from Boston video last night and he paid tribute to âhow you get itâ. I think it would be a great thing to reach out to him and maybe do something together in the future.
As a younger person Cameron, so thrilled you embraced EVH, awesome playing. You do EVH proud
This is awesome .great tribute. Thanks. From nz.
Dude that was truly amazing. The only one that could top it would be Eddie himself. Fantastic tribute. Rock on & RIP Eddie Van Halen
Thatâs awesome man rest in piece EVHâ€ïž
Cam, this was a beautiful tribute to the king himself. Iâm still just in shock that we all lost him. Ed literally changed the course of my whole life. Without what he created, I may not have picked up the guitar as a kid, and who knows where Iâd be. Thank you for making this, Cam.
Hasta SIEMPRE.
DESCANSA EN paz

As soon as I heard Eddie died I came straight here because knowing you through high school he was your idol man, well played and great channel!
Our hero,EVH,will be sorely missed...
Watching you play Eddie felt at home
Young man, you're amazing!!!
Thank you Cameron, I kept your playing this as my music background today at work my friend amazing stuff, RIP Eddie we will keep your music alive.
Bless all of the Van Halen family !!! Eddie will be truly missed !! At least we will always have the music he left for us to enjoy forever !!! R.I.P. E.V.H !!! *Eddie's Rockin' in Heaven with Jimmy , Prince , S.R.V. , Dimebag , & Jon Bonham !!* Imagine what that sounds like ?!
Hendrix too
Master class & fitting tribute
Thank You Cameron for your spot on renditions of Eddie's masterpieces.
I'm totally speechless, all I can say is that I feel fortunate to have been witness to the phenomenon that was Van Halen and I was blown away the very first time I heard Van Halen on the radio it was "Eruption" and "You Really Got Me," I remember thinking who is this its certainly not the Kinks LOL
Well I was 17 years old and it wasn't very long after that I started learning how to play the guitar.
I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to see Van Halen three times throughout the 1980s once with David Lee Roth and twice with Sammy Hagar.
This is a great loss of genius talent for the music world and especially the guitar community. Eddie was a one of a kind an innovator and a Legend!
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen "The King of Rock Guitar!" đž
Heaven will be electrified upon your arrival, now you can jam with Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell, Chris Cornell, Neil Peart and Stevie Ray Vaughan!
You have left a hole in the Rock and Roll World!
I feel your sadness and appreciate your virtuosity Cam. Just plain beautifully played. I loved the way you really milked the best phrases. Just tasty. Thank you.
Cheers
Right on brother!!
Awesome tribute, Eddie would be proud.
Cam thanks for this tribute! Eddie turned the guitar world on itâs ear in â78. Itâs only been a day and I miss him so much. Great job paying your respects to one of my idols! Jam on brother!
I am honestly BLOWN AWAY. Thereâs all sorts of players who can technically play the notes on the tablature, but itâs extremely difficult to even come close to EVHâs feel or tone. Youâve managed to do BOTH!
The only other players I have ever heard who are also great at this are SATSUMA3042 from Japan and Jacob Deraps from Canada. I now must include you in that list. I salute you! đđ»đ
Great playing and a well done tribute. Now time for young players like you to take it to the next level. That is the legacy EVH left you.
25 years ago I started playing guitar because of Eddie Van Halen. Awesome tribute Cameron. Play it loud as I reckon King Eddie will be looking down grinning and adding a thumbs up to you "like" tally. RIP Eddie đ
R.I.P
Love your playing
