Did Brad Paisley pull off Van Halen’s ‘Hot for Teacher’ solo?

Yes. Great guitarist and people don’t give him the credit he deserves for it.

He’s pretty amazing .

He is a way better guitarist than a lot of people realize.

Brad is an excellent guitarist, he’s no EVH, but as a big EVH fan I really appreciate his honoring him during his show.

Country guitarists don't get enough credit. They rip. I was trying to learn chichin' pickn' but couldn't get it. People should check out Roy Clark. He ripps!

He probably nailed it about as well as EVH mostly did live. And I’d wager most of his guitars are set up for chicken picking rather than shredding. Brad is no joke on a guitar. Way better than he gets credit for being.

Love Nuno’s reaction

Almost. The timing is difficult. I like the knob crank before he started. "Gonna need all the gain..." I've been there.

Talk about a cross over. This is great! America paying homage to America. Those white lines on the screen in the back look like the lines on EVH’s guitar. And I’m assuming the fire is also a visual hint as well.

And on a single coil tele, no less (could be a stacked pickup, but doubt it) pretty darn good!
