Eruption

[Werner]

I never realized how easy "Eruption" was until I played it. Anybody else ever play it?

[Broken Insanity]

I wouldn't necessarily say its "easy". But yeah when you hear it, it's like "Whoa... will I ever play that!?". The only hard thing about it if any would be the speed and rhythm. Still a kool solo though none the less.

Ya, it's easy but awesome. I played some of it for my friend and he was like "Holy Crap, how did ya do that."?

[respect-ed]

Well, I've been studying this piece for about 6 months off and on and the only part of the solo I find "easy" are the pull-off runs at the end....Ed is playing so fast in his first couple of repetative "trick" type licks that when you listen to the real thing...its like un-doable.....
To me, this is an extremely hard solo to duplicate, hell, even Eddie plays variations of it live because he probably cant nail it again...

[Werner]

The easiest part to me is the taps and pull-offs and hammer-ons.
The other stuff is pretty hard but really hard to remember. It's fun though.

They have it at powertab.net

I got mine from the Van Halen Anthology tab book. I never used the tab though, I just watched a video of him performing it.

Yeah I learnt it ages ago, it's surprisingly easy, especially the tapping, which is, I would argue, the best tapping ever committed to record. I heard a live version of the song on Planetrock digital radio a few weeks ago, it was much longer (5 or 6 minutes) and even more extreme.

I got a video of it off Kazaa. Very nice.
