you seem to be having some problems with the transitions from picking to finger-picking. I suggest practicing palming the pick in your right hand. You can still pick with all 5 fingers with it in your palm. Try it.
Or, you can simply hold the pick with your thumbs and index finger (the regular way), and pick other strings with the other 3 fingers.
i just want to say though that i find it humorous how so many people who post guitar covers play the game of trying to see how many of their guitars they can cram into the background
Awesome job man! Like the guitar too! I made my customized OLPmm1 (budget version of EVH's old Musicman signature guitar) into a tribute to Eddie!! Check it out in my vids when you get a chance man. Keep on rockin' the Van Halen!!
Im guessing yer guitar is tuned down to Eb then capoed @ the 5th...right? I have a GW transcription, but it simply has it in standard w/ capo @ the 3rd fret......probably easier tuned down w/ Eb,looser strings etc..

James your an excellent EVH devotee, your playing a little too fast....don't be afraid to pause for a second. Gives your sound more feeling and soul. Don't just play Eddie's riffs, make them your own now.
i have that same t-shirt! great version! btw do you have a copy of Eyes of the Night? (one of VH's old live songs from the club days) if you do can you upload it sometime?

thats good, but in stead of having to hold your pick in your mouth use your middle and ring finger (like eddy does). it helps alot.
