  • This is fantastic. I used to play a "fake" version of Eruption back in the early 80's and everyone loved it. Your breakdown and lessons are giving me new life in my guit. One question Pete, do you happen to know what gauge strings Eddie uses or perhaps more specifically what do you use?

    Thanks. Dann

  • @mrdinsdale I think Eddie used .009 to .040? I used .009 to .042 to do this vid. I usually use 10's but it's harder to play eruption with 10's- the bends just after the 1st part wear me out and then it's harder to play the fast line that immediately follows...

  • What the hell is that noise? Is your amp broken? Oh wait, I've got the Vuvuzella button turned on.

  • Yea I agree. I think you nail this better than anybody I have ever heard besides Eddie himself. Very impressive.

  • i like how as the videos go on the views slowly get less numbers because people probably realize they can't play it

  • AWESOME! Without question..THE BEST VERSION!

    May I ask what your setup is?

    Thanks for the great video!

  • damn! nice, im actually learning how to play it. its amazing what your fingers will do after learning a few parts of this song. \m/

  • Thanks for great video! I'm trying to learn Eruption, I'm at part 4 now. Eruption is much higher than my level, I mean I need more time to get the ability to play Eruption. I've studied this all day and my finger tips are fcked up because of bends hahahaha (im using 0.10 strings)

  • Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to go through Eruption for us. I have spent the last two weeks working on it, I've always wanted to learn the entire song and it's going to happen this year. You did an excellent job with this!

  • @zcaisse2876 change your strat to 2 volumes and one tone. One for the Humbucker and one for the two Singles. Then you can studder it like a LP too.

  • @llBlackDogll i remember that button :D

  • Eddie made some weird-ass note choices! I guess that's part of the genius.

  • I didnt know Ryan Reynolds could shred like this!!! O.o

  • thank you for posting all these vids. they have really helped me a lot.
