Just a follow up. Check out Ace Freely’s guitar solo on Shock Me on KISS’s ALIVE II album. Let me know if it sounds familiar when compared to Eruption. Then keep in mind that the recording for KISS’s album was made more than a year prior to the release of Van Halen with the Eruption solo.

Yes, I love Eddy. There’s almost nothing like a great guitar solo. I also enjoy listening to many unknown guitarists. For example, check out “Cheap Guitar Tricks” (YouTube video by Daniel Minteer). Good stuff.

several players around the globe played in the early 60′ very fast..but not aggressive. During the second part of the 60′ some bluesy guitar men (ten years after, Hendrix experimented with delays in stereo, and..mm many other stuff)the rapidness and some legatto here and there, the wah-wah thing,the harmonics..(with feedback to the top), later, many guitar players took their ideas to the next level..what? more technology,more overdriven amps, more wah wah more screaming solos, another pickups, tapping, playing fast, skipping strings..blah….so the question is what comes now?

stair way to heaven? really? i like led zepplin but that song gets boring after a while cause 7 miutes is a tad bit to long for that song…… the solo is not even close to as good or advanced eruption is…i can learn led zepplin stair way to heaven in a day on my guitar….but it took me a month on eruption
