ERUPTION - Eddie Van Halen. Cover KDA. Greatest Guitar Solos #2 + commentary

My continuing effort to learn and play Guitar World magazine's top 100 solos of all time. Well it's been nearly 3 weeks since I've posted anything to this list. My apologies. Hands have been a bit of a mess with eczema. Finally got things healed up enough to play at speed over the past few days. edit: well, because of the video quality of this one, it was bound to happen and it did. I was accused of speeding it up. I most certainly didn't. first of all, I really suck at video editing and filming. I'm old I guess, but trying my best to learn. second of all, I put down this take on my brand new expensive camera at 60fps, in rather low light trying to up my video game and make it look cool and a bit more professional. it looked great in the viewfinder but the final video was extremely grainy. I trashed the take and did it again with a lot more light, but I was really happy with the original take (the one in this video). I thought "I wonder if there's a way to fix the grainy video version?" turns out that there is. filters in my video editor. it worked a charm but as a result it messed with the frame rates and made the video slightly blurred and a bit choppy. decided to go with it anyway because it was the take that I wanted to use. I most definitely DID NOT speed it up. one just needs to go watch any of my videos where this is not an issue to see that this is not the case. for instance:.    • BLACK STAR - Yngwie Malmsteen. Guitar Cove...   this is yngwie malmsteen's black star. about as fast as guitar soloing gets. no video chop or frame skipping in this one. eruption is nowhere near as fast as this one. just wanted to clear that up. cheers We all know this one. One of THE most famous solos of all time. I used to play bits of Eruption during my guitar solo back in my club playing days. I thought that I would tack on one of my favorite little licks that I also used to play in my solo just for fun. Hope you like my take on this one AND the commentary.
