It is widely considered one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, having popularized tapping. The song was also released as the b-side to the " Runnin' with the Devil " single. The highlight of the solo is the use of two-handed tapping. The Sunset Sound studio reverb room was also used to add reverb. The Frankenstrat was tuned down a half-step. The end section begins with a series of rapid two-handed tapping triads that have a classical like structure and eventually finishes with a repeated classical cadence followed by sound effects generated by a Univox EC echo unit. The piece that would later be named "Eruption" had existed as part of Van Halen's stage act at least as far back as , when it featured no tapping. Initially, "Eruption" was not considered as a track for the Van Halen album as it was just a guitar solo Eddie performed live in the clubs. But Ted Templeman overheard it in the studio as Eddie was rehearsing it for a club date at the Whisky a Go Go and decided to include it on the album.

As a virtuoso guitar player and innovator of both guitar techniques and guitar technology, Eddie Van Halen was without a doubt one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and his impact radically changed the history of the instrument and rock and metal music as a whole, from his bands debut album in the 's all the way up until his untimely death this week. As a long time fan of both his music and also the equipment he helped to pioneer, such as the Floyd Rose tremolo and the amp series to name just a couple, I decided to pay tribute by covering his most well known guitar solo Eruption. Much like his original version I decided to keep this raw and aggressive with a single take and no editing. I hope you all enjoy this video, and rest in peace Eddie Van Halen. Jump to.

When I was in eighth or ninth grade, there was a young guitar virtuoso in my school who could play the "Eruption" solo. I didn't know anything about this song, not even its original author, but I knew that this was the peak of guitar performance. The kid, Steele Kempton who still makes music , ripped through it at a talent show, bringing down the house. At least that's the way I've mythologized the scenario. It wasn't until a few years later—when streaming made it easy—that I actually heard Eddie Van Halen play it. That's when I finally understood exactly why this was the pinnacle of guitar solos. Like everyone else, I've heard them a million times, but I've actually sought out and played "Eruption" more than any other song in the Van Halen catalog.
The church is very important to her. I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue the relationship, but I'd only recommend marrying her if she leaves the church because she discovers it's not true. If you try to deconvert her I suggest indirectly at first. Also, as Joanna points out, men and women already inhabit a separate culture.
