ERUPTION! Eddie Van Halen's Insane Rock Guitar Skills - Guitar Tab Included

Eddie Van Halen Eruption Live Solo

[holtrain]

Legend for transcribing this, I watched a million times over growing up and learning to play and was my go to reference for anyone who never really understood how great Eddie really was.

[celeryshredder]

Saw Van Halen live in ‘93 on the ‘Right Here, Right Now’ tour. They were absolutely incredible and Eddie didn’t put a note wrong all night. Even to this day, it remains one of the best rock concerts I’ve ever seen.

Live Without A Net will forever be my favorite live guitar performance. Eddie was, is, and always will be the king.

[DragonBiscuit]

While there have been a host of players with a more “perfect” technique, none of them have ever touched my heart the way Eddie’s playing did… His spirit came through every note - I saw him on that tour live and it was an amazing experience - RIP GOAT EVH

[tombstoneharrystudios]

A tireless innovator…technical genius…superlative rhythm guitarist…charismatic stage presence…great songs…boy next door looks

Eddie had it all and then some!

The sheer joy and relaxed vibe he has when soloing makes him so much more palatable than other guitar heroes before or since

[janezimmerman]

Eddie van Halen was by far the greatest of the great rock guitarists.

Van Halen and Eddie were rock's proudest moments. All one needs for verification is the video of the concert when that solo was played.

[TheLochs]

I was never a HUGE Eddie fan, of course I recognized his genius. However, there's a video of him in the very early years doing a live guitar solo and its absolutely ferocious, lol. It totally changed my mind on him. Such a monster.

[AugieDog]

you forgot *seamlessly throws pick into crowd* but other than that, flawless transcription.

Back in 2001 when I was 12 I ordered this Van Halen concert on VHS from the back of a catalog. I watched it everyday after school for a year straight. I was obsessed with Eddie.

[nicholasglennon]

As if from a cartoon, I am sitting here with my jaw wide open and eyes bulging as I watch this for possibly the 1, 978, 000 time in my life. Incredible, Eddie - there'll never, ever be another.

[saltydog]

Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen. Three most influential rock guitarist.

[axeslinger]

I had this on VHS in the 90’s and would rewind/rewatch this part back 3 or 4 times whenever I put LWAN on.

[bobmartino]

The transcription is almost as amazing as Edward's playing. We miss you Ed.

Live Without A Net - New Haven Connecticut. Still have this concert on VHS recorded from HBO or Showtime back in the day!

I hereby declare this Levi Clay Day.
Great job mate! Long live the King of six strings and ten fingers, EVH.

[LeeMcDaidDonegal]

Bought the video in Denmark street back in 1988/89 (Rose Morris, probably - they had a huge book and video department in the basement back then and I practically lived in it!)
Over the years I must have played that video a thousand times, maybe more ... no exaggeration

Thanks for this, Levi

[dpduke]

I love how this solo performance continues to blow young guitar player's minds with every new generation. I remember being a beginner guitarist and thinking how the heck is he getting some of those harmonics!

[JayGuitars]

I could watch this all day.
In fact I probably will.
God bless Edward Van Halen.

[daflepail]

thank you Levi! I wish we had this kind of tutorials back in 96.

[Loud-Juice]

OMG THANKS I HAVE WANTED TO LEARN THIS FOR YEARS
