[smokiebilly08]

maybe one of the most impresive things i have seen in my life!!!

2 cuestions:

-in what tone have u tuned ur bass?

-which minute of spanish fly does he do that tapping solo?

[kReEaYtEr]

Spanish fly is only a minute long...

If even that.

[ErnieBallAxisGuitar]

The way your playing the tapping section of Eruption on the bass is insane!!!!

Must be the Music Man Bass

[besteruptionvideos]

"Eruption" is an instrumental by Van Halen from their first album, Van Halen. Written and primarily performed by Eddie Van Halen, this electric guitar solo showcase is considered one of the most influential rock instrumentals of all time, appearing on many 'greatest guitar solos' lists, including a recent Guitar World poll. On the radio, it is usually played together with "You Really Got Me," which follows the song on the album Van Halen.

[besteruptionvideos]
