great video, wish the quality was a little better though :( as a side note @ 5:06 you say one thing and do another and the notes sound correct but you say 3rd string 2nd fret and instead you play 3rd fret 2nd string - made me laugh - the notes you play are definitely right however, perhaps another annotation is in order? cheers

@satriani32 yeah i did this a few years back, I'm more adept at making vids now. But it's a bitch to explain a whole solo like this note for note, detailing every fret number and string of every note played.... there's bound to be a few errors, I wasn't getting paid for my time or anything, and no one was there to edit, just me and a mac with a built in camera, ya know? So it is what it is.

awesome videos, they've all helped me learn a TON. I know you already explained the gear in the first video, but what kind of picks do you use?

[sinasl1]

@ffguru15 hi, I use Dunlop ultex .73's

[BigfootProductions08]

your alternate strumming is so smooth!!!

[JackTaylor39]

You are amazing man! Very nice set of vids. Wondering if you can do a tutorial on the song Cathedral from Van Halen's Diver Down album? I'd really like to learn that. Thanks!

I think the pattern is tap hammer on tap pull off it sounds better like that not tap hammet tap hammer idk which one is better or right

[gerby90]

hooooly shit what was that at 3:30? HAHAH you're insane, bro

[stratelite]

Hardest part of the whole damn solo to get under your fingers.

It's a shame when a professional guitarist gets negative comments in any manner on what he is teaching, for free and on his own time. I bet some of you would criticize Eddie himself if he did his own tutorial and it wasn't exactly like the studio version on the CD. Thanks for the lesson Pete, your vid is what I am using to learn this. Much appreciation.

[satriani32]

i would also like to suggest that Peter erases both my last message AND fucharab's negativity as this is not what I would like to see on the comments page of a great tutorial, I dont like it when people focus on the negative, I wish I wouldn't have given into my pride and commented back, I apologize Peter :(

[satriani32]

@fucharabs You bet I was one of the 7 who hot dislike, wow! Thats a confident statement. Im going to say that before you go any further, you just joined youtube, what, all of 2 weeks ago, and you are already insulting people. Please don't, don't create bad vibes, calling people douchbags, why are you on youtube, hmm? Why all this pent up anger for a complete stranger? To clarify so you understand I did not hit dislike I hit like, this is the hands down best lesson on Eruption that I ever seen

[fucharabs]

@satriani32 I hate guys like youtube user 'satriani32.' You have to always throw in an insult and make it sound like you are complimenting the guy. So you 'wish the quality was better?' I WISH you would pay this guy some cash or say THANK YOU for giving your stupid ass a free lesson. Oh yeah....it 'made you laugh' when he said 3rd string 2nd fret and instead played 3rd fret 2nd string?' God youtube is so full of fucking douche bags. I bet you were one of the 7 who hit 'dislike.' Why r u here?

[Gary1497]

The best tuition i've ever seen anyone doing for this Pete. Also your version sounds exactly like Eddie's original, impossible to tell the difference, great stuff, inspiring.
