  • Fantastic

  • I could just listen to eddie shred, he could make a solo band and this many people would show up everytime... ROCK ON

  • 11 Dislikes!?!?!?! That is WAYYYYYY to many dislikes. There should be at least 123,931 likes, 0 dislikes

  • i dont play guitar but his solo so clean and uniquely , he is the master!!

  • I really don't know much about music, but Ed plays in such a way that I would call perfect. Give me links to others and I will gladly listen to them.

  • i dont know man thats pretty fast

  • Sure people can play faster, no one has his tone, his sound. Each note is crisp, is individual. You go to some place, hear the local guy wail, its fast and all. But each note is choppy, is half-assed, they go fast and give up quality.

    Eddie had the tone man, each note was perfect, each note was seperate and connected.

  • They should make a tab for this

  • He was defenitly at the top af his game here.

  • 3:22-4:02

    epic sound

  • so much control. sure there are faster guys these days and all that. Eddie had real natural control though. Its hard to explain it but he was his own guitarist, not trying to copy anyone. I hate the people who say he was just overdrive... they are so wrong...

  • u so right

  • I know man. I'll take him over Paul Gilbert or Joe Satriani any day. Not that they aren't great or anything. They just don't have that tone and feel that Eddie does.

  • youre rite no one sounds like eddie and no one has that nice tone like its hard to explaine he is just able to push the limit and destroy the limit of the guitar and amp barier because people come close but just dont have that sound i have the same humbucker he does and its not the sam sound

  • 11 Minuets of non stop amazingness!

  • man he is amazing

  • He uses a delay with volume swells

  • during cathedral is he using a delay pickup or a repearter or something

  • greatest guitar solo ive ever heard by the greatest guitar player alive on this planet

    EDDIE VAN HALEN !!!!!!!

  • The man never dries up....endless and effortless.

  • i'm not sure either, but the effects pedals are some kind of compressor/delay and maybe a stereo chorus, very cool sound.

  • this the second best ed solo i've seen so far. the byeson17-"Eruption Guitar Solo--Eddie Van Halen" is the best.

    9:59 classic ed jump. i saw some commercial of these jonus brothers and the one dude did a less than half ass jump with a guitar. who are these chumps?? their music sucks, but they sell records to the teen girls.

  • What is it he does just after 4:08 it is beautiful and again at 4:38 it's one of if not the most beautiful sound i have heard

  • Its from the beginning of Cathedral, he is using an effects pedal and playing chords. It actually not terribly hard to play. Its not easy either but its not the not the most complex piece Eddie has written. 5150, eruption, Spanish fly, are all more complex, then again once you got the a solid foundation of taping and scale work, Spanish fly and eruption aren't so hard to play. They seem daunting but they are not impossible to play.

  • what pedal is he using for cathedral?

  • Um I 'm not entirely sure but I believe he is using an MXR chorus pedal, I think all of Eddie's effects pedals are part of the MXR line (made by Jim Dunlop) But none of his pedals were distortion pedals despite popular belief, all of his distortion was always made by his amps, I.E Marshal Plexi-head, Soldano SLO100, Peavey 5150, 5150-2, and now the new Fender 5150-3.

  • i think delay and he play with the volume control

  • I bet i have watched this solo over 100 times and it never gets old

  • i love this verson. Eddie is #1

  • Watching his solo is always fun !

  • His best solo ever!

  • Eddie is the reason why I tap on the guitar!

  • same here. i learned this whole thing but its not like %100 its like %90 but i love it i play it everyday now

  • me too i got lik 85% of it.... i'm only 14 so all my friends call me god lol its funnn!!!!

  • ME TOO! well im 16 now but i picked up a guitar at 14 and learned by myslef and in a year i could do it. rock on man ill be a guitar god and you will too haha

  • same here

  • i think eddie is the reason everyone taps on the guitar..

  • rapaiz dá gosto de ver alguém que sabe tocar de verdade este instrumento tão perfeito.

  • i remember hearing this solo for the first time back in '88', it blew my mind then and it still does...EDDIE IS THE BEST!!!

  • every time i watch this i want to pick up a guitar and jam out a solo

  • wow,wow,wow!i love it!ed is great what can you say!

  • the biggest eddie's solo on video!

  • does any one know where i can get a kramer 5150 like the one ed is playing.

  • There is one in production now. It will be up for sale in about 2 weeks. The price will be 1000.00 dollars. Contact me at jason.714@hotmail for more details.

  • its people like evh and rr that make us think of ourselvels as terrible guitar players

  • The Best Shredding Ever !!

  • ed is the king of RR electric guitar. thats it.

  • damn right he is!!!

  • amen

  • as a guitarplayer,EDDDIE IS,hope he'llrecover from cancer-but try to this with basics,without sound-efects,very difficult-bless you Eddie Van,keep on going,playin'_the BEST amongst us living...

  • gene simmons wanted to make money with VH. he is a business man. all business sp? men are the same, thats fine. GS and VH parted ways and soon after.... ted templeton? or don landee? sp? saw them at a club in LA and the rest is history. kiss has an image, but poor music. VH has the whole package.

  • yeah kiss and van halen are both the full package and kiss dose not have a fucked up guitar player.

  • go to Eruption Guitar Solo--Eddie Van Halen, its the best solo iv seen by eddie

  • He sold his soul to the devil, and he got a damn good bargain too.

  • gene simmons negociated the deal for him.

  • i'd sell my soul to the devil to be this as good as eddie

  • so, all your little kids and truckers can go home now?

    did they write this song? no...., they are insucure with themselves. so are the parents. insecure people often talk about other people, because they are insucure with themselves.

  • Why you putting the parents and insecurity in??? i just said he's better than other guitarists because he can also write music not just play it.

  • sorry dude, one too many. i'm a big ed fan, i got upset and said some stupid thigs.

  • {Eruption Guitar Solo--Eddie Van Halen} "byeson17", the best ed solo i've seen, so far. people try, but, they can not out do ed, he is the king of electric RR guitar. that's a fact.

  • not just a great guitar player, you can find loads of fat truckers or chinese kids at home who can play all his solos with one hand behind their backs, but putting this shit together, that's something that sets VH from any other brilliant guitarist.

  • not just a great guitar player, you can find loads of fat truckers or chinese kids at home who can play all his solos with one hand behind their backs, but putting this shit together, that's something that sets VH from any other brilliant guitarist.

  • this solo is great

  • WOW...this would must have been amazing to see live cause this solo is awesome Eruption and Cathedral are in there too go Eddie go

  • the second best ed solo i've seen so far.

  • which is the best? WHICH IS IT?!?!?!

  • dude you need some help. drugs or ass kicking or something.

  • if jacking off had a sound this wud be it

  • A perfect moment.

  • dont say that someone is a bad guitar player until you can play it yourself

  • el putisimo amo,el mejor del mundo!!!! sin palabras...

  • I can play Cathedral yess!! I can't tap it, just play it normal, and if i mute the strings right after i played the note it sounds almost perfectly alike.

  • The Frankenstrat had a Kramer neck, one of his favorites, so this Kramer 5150 has Kramer neck, he made it at the Kramer shop..FYI

  • He played so good, that he made himself horny!! Look at his face. He has every right to be.

  • iv'e heard a lot of people say it's simpel. i know of only one, that can play it the same.

  • Truly amazing!! He is without a doubt the best there is!!Nobody does it like he does,nobody sounds as good as his tone..

  • this isnt music....its god speaking

  • His Frankenstein looks a bit worn out by the edges, or is it just the light?

  • He's not playing his Frankenstrat in this video. This guitar, is the Kramer 5150. If you look behind the Floyd Rose trem, you can see the numbers 5150 made out of red space tape.

  • and the head stock is jackson stlye with the word kramer written on

  • this isn't frankenstein its the kramer 5150

  • yeah, you know, like the dots on the finger board. he marks the top of the finger board (left thumb pos.), to see better in the dark or whatever reason.

  • maybe i dont understand you correctly but dont most guitars have dots on the edge of the fretboard that is closest to their heads? correct me if im rong or dont understand

  • yes

  • ok thanx

  • yes, he does mark the neck.

  • mark the neck?

  • amazing,just amazing,and he wasn't even looking at the guitar half the time!!!!

  • Better watch again, he spends a lot of time looking at the neck, he also marks the neck..

  • alex missed his Q at about 3:00, he must have been on a piss break or something.

    in 87, i saw paul gilbert play eruption 100%, live, at some guitar clinic thing in charleston, sc. i was maybe 10 feet away.

    what amazes me is that funky tuning technique he does at 4:20, the guy knows the guitar inside and out.

  • Long live King Eddie!!! The greatest guitarist who has ever lived....

  • He can make that Kramer scream! Wonder what it's playing on the 2007 tour? Fender I would guess..I sure who's ever paying him...

  • Lol at 2:28

  • Nobody can beat Eddie playing this solo. A lot of other guitarrist tried to play Eruption, but nobody can do THAT.

    Eddie's really A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!

  • wow...just wow...

  • You got it bud, nobody can play like van halen. He is a pioneer at guitar, just like jimi hendrix. He rocks, one of the best guitarists of all time.

  • EVH is the MAN!!! Sure there are plenty of other great guitarist out there but none can throw down a solo quite like eddie. Long live King Eddie!!!

  • god bless spanish fly

  • 8:35 omfg what playing!! My head's gonna blow!!

  • What are the chances of the man that CREATED tapping become its greatest master? not pretty good but hands down for VH!!

  • I don't fucking believe this man he's really some kind of magician or something... It's sad drugs ruined his body, but he can still give ladies orgasm without even touching them... man that's some wild playing!

  • Crap this is the greatest LIVE performance on Eruption i have ever seen compared to his other ones(when he doesn't have the cool long hair).

  • Dave or Sammy, it doesn't matter. This is when EVH was at his peak. I saw him a couple of years ago and he was rusty to say the least.

  • Awesome solo. Eddie fuckin rocks! I hope the tour comes somewhere close to florida cuz i'll be there.

  • Vai in my opinion too off the wall to me it always sounds like hes "out" because of his scale choices and mixes, keys ect.. Satch is a great player. I dont care for his songs though. Eddie is the only one I can listen to 20 times a day.

  • Ill admit yngwie is fast and hard to copy but he doesnt have many different licks. It seems that once you can sweep a little and play inversion of an A hamonic minor scale at 220 or so bpm you can play whatever yngwie can come up with. I was amazed with yngwie when I was a beginner. When I stated to anylize his songs though its seems as time went on he ran out of licks. All he does is that damn diminshed inversion from high to low anymore.

  • when a guitarist gets to a level where he can play this most of jimi's stuff is a cakewalk but yngwies stuff is still a challenge perhaps because its just a different style of play not better in my opinion.

  • I used to be able to do that before I got sick! ;)

  • Maybe a fall tour in the works...(I did say maybe)

  • Ha 12 coglioni!!!

  • i agree with buckethead

  • What concert video is this from?

  • Live without a net, theres a concert DVD of it

  • Heres to Eddie!!!!!!!! Man you STILL BLOW MW AWAY! "THEE MAN" MR.EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!!!!!!THE CROWD ROARS, WE LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKR UR 6 STRING SCREAM!

    JEFF BECK & EDDIE VAN HALEN=GUITAR GODS!!! Hope, Peace & Happiness, Ruth

  • best solo ever

  • I love how he chases tone, beautiful man

  • edward worked and busted his ass off playing guitar not like some street rat 50 cent who thinks he is cool and just speaks continously ( which people consider rap music)

  • the fat lady sang tour cancelled shitty deal

  • Holy shit how the hell did he get that sound at 2:50 - 2:53?

    this is awsome!!

  • Palm harmonics. Hammer your fingers down on the 2nd and 3rd fret of the A string and palm your pick hand down the string which will pick up the harmonics at certain points.

  • w00t it works, thanks for the lesson 8)

  • There you have it just an hour ago Van Halen is coming it's in the works just haven't set a date yet, if you go on there website news bulletin. So you guys can relax. To all you Eddie bashers out there Piss off yo seriously everyones got the troubles no ones perfect.

  • it's just a romour, people , it not over until the fat lady sings I still think there coming .

  • holy fucking fucker lik i already replied to some of you fuckers that are gay writee bul shit coments it pises me off!!! wat the hell is your problem it doest fucking work okay so fuckoff assholeand i want an exp^lination to this bullshit from you or you WILL DIe

  • Hey man...why dont you go fuck yourself....it has not been postponded at all...go check there website. You dont know jackshit you loser. Stop posting this shit on every VH video. Fuck off and die!!!

  • Bad news! It was announced on 02/20/07 that Van Halen's supposed 2007 tour with Roth has been postponed indefinitely!!

  • How do I download this? Its awesome!

  • its more of the other way around. Eddie took what was already there and learned from it and took it much farther. Jimi was basically the first good electric guitarist and he took the biggest leap forward out of any guitarist.

  • he's the eddie van halen of guitar...o wait...LOL! jk

  • i hope he can still play almost like this so when he goes on tour i can see it in person rather than a tv

  • OMG it's been so long since I've seen this, this is one of the vids that got me into guitar, now I know how to do most of it lol

  • simply amazing

  • The Master!

  • speechless

    0 0 0

  • This dude is AMAZING!

  • puta q o paril

  • Eddie is God! Simple the greatest ever!

  • ASSHOLE

  • YOU ARE A FAG

  • eddie Van Halen is the most guitar player ever

  • I don't see Eddie letting Dave back in the band. All is not lost though. Forget the six released studio LP's with Dave. I'm talking about the rare demos and GREAT music they wrote from 1974-1977 before they became famous! Can't find it or never heard of it? Don't worry! Just see these videos of that era by clicking on my name and watching these fantastic videos!

  • omfg i know smoking is bad but not every visual of someone smoking is an ad there are things he has done that makes smoking look like its healthy

  • eddie at his best

  • How can someone show this as "pro-smoking"? Ed only takes a puff.

  • who gives a fuck if its pro smoking,

    if anyone cares that much about it they should notice eddies only got half a tongue now anyway

  • Well, it IS a major issue in politics; has been for several years.

  • whats wrong with your fucking head?

    seriously fuck off douchebag

  • i think that eddie can do whatever the fuck he wants to do when hes on stage

  • well your wrong, fagget

  • eddie,jimi and paul are my favorite guitarists

  • fuckin' chops man...thats all i can say.

  • WHO FUCKEN CARES DUDE...go analize Malmsteen or somethin ur not worthy of King Edward

  • That Guitar is SMOKIN! Lol sorry for the pun.

  • OMFG! That's all I can muster up about this vid...

  • My God, that Eddie Van Halen tone....

  • It never gets old, does it

  • There are a few good players out in the world. . . but nobody but Jimi comes close. . . Jimi and Eddie, the co-gods of guitar

  • true that my two favorites

  • Eddie, Jimi, Nuno, George Harrison, Eric Clapton...

  • wolfgang will next, he's already following Eddie's foot steps rock on!!!

  • Fuck. When Eddie van Halen wants to play no-one can come close.

  • I think this is from the Live Without a Net dvd.

  • Hey Bevan, I believe this is from the 1986 New Haven tour

  • Eddie Van Halen "understands" guitar... many don't

  • That was mean. hay can someone tell me what concert that this is from?

  • Greensboro, NC - I was there

  • The Bruce Lee of guitar lol :)

  • I meant that I agreed with 19651965....

  • joeygeee: it's called a palm harmonic, well, that's what I call it. Do a fast pulloff riff repeatedly with your left hand and slide the palm of your hand down your strings.

  • My idol, EVH 4 Life

  • He mixxes the licks up better here(1986) not as much repetitive stuff, so it flows better.

  • WTF is he doing at 2:50? Some sort of harmonic.

  • Left 2nd finger hammers on and off the 5th string while right hand slides down 5th string, creating harmonics

  • Awesome

  • Who is yngwie ?

  • Yngwie Malmsteen He's got a huge ego and is stuck in a classical shred bubble. Check out G3 with him Vai and Satch playin "Rockin in the Free World" he can't touch em .

  • running, jumping etc and playing that as if were so easy, he is just amazing and unbelievable and this like 2 decades ago ? (1986 with Hagar it looks like?) , no one in the histroy of the universe can compare to his performances, is he possibly the returned christ ? (just joking)

    I love Yngwie! , but he doesnt even come close to the feeling I get when I watch and hear EVH, no one does (SRV gets close but)

  • i get it now! his cigarette was part of his tone
