This is the earliest know recording of Eddie Van Halen playing guitar. He is basically noodling and working out ideas. Recorded at home (in his parent's house) in 1974, when he was only 19 years old! The genesis of "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" and other great ideas.

The guitar playing ends at 7:16, and then you can hear a short recording of David, Eddie and Michael hanging out in a hotel talking to one or more girls. Never on Youtube until now!
