Spanish Fly

The instrumental "Spanish Fly" by Eddie Van Halen. I apologize for the shaky lighting; the guitar was reflecting light into the camera's sensor. I could also use some good video editing software so that the last thing you see isn't my hand reaching for the OFF button.

You did an awesome job- And i can tell, just from watching, that you COULD do "better", if you wanted to. ..Makes me want to practice it! I bought the Van Halen II songbook just for THIS!

@luapsel77 Thank you. I do have two or three other performances on my page that are a lot better than this one. It is indeed a difficult piece.

Mark Hamill plays guitar?

[paulmooreparks]

@Daver869 Hahaha.... Oh, wow, that gave me a good laugh.

Damn good. One of the best versions on Youtube. I think the time is a wee bit off. I intend this constructively. Something that can easily be remedied.

[paulmooreparks]

@efzt Thank you! Indeed, it is off. As I replied to someone else earlier, this isn't my best effort, but for some reason it's the one getting all the hits. Urgh.

There are 21 people out there who don't know real music.

@dunavidrava I appreciate that, but it is pretty difficult for me to listen to this version now that I have some slightly better ones up. It's a pity that this one gets all the hits. In any case, thanks for the kind words!

[dunavidrava]

@bogse My left forearm can seize up pretty quickly if I'm not warmed up and I haven't practiced in a while.

[bogse]

Does your fingers get tired (lactic acided) when playing that? Awesome work!!

[paulmooreparks]

@charliedrummer7 I agree, it's not as good as it could be. I have a couple of other versions up that, while still not great, are better than this one. Check those out.

[charliedrummer7]

crap !!

[geology9311]

Man this is pro!!!! Keep up the great work my friend!

[habshockey1994]

That's actually AWESOME!

[Estupidirio]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o.....w

[paulmooreparks]

@WallSpace Yes, since it's the strongest finger on my right hand. Eddie taps with the index finger as well (usually), but he also usually holds the pick between his thumb and middle finger. I can't do that, so I move the pick around as necessary.
