never really seen or heard any of his music, yep hard to believe, but true. I did hear a few songs and I knew he is a guitarist who makes music on his guitar

I just seen this video

Well done on posting the video successfully!

I am surprised you have not heard of Van Halen - Eruption is a great tune and great to get you familiar with the technique of tapping on the electric guitar!

I know van halen, but like I've only know about 2 of his songs, I've never listened to any of his albums so I really don't know his music

"Jump" is a classic. "Poundcake" is my personal favourite - check them out John, you won't be dissappointed.

Yes I am a fan of "Jump" it sounds quite dated now but still a great tune!

In fact Eddie found his name in 'The All Music Guide' as 'undoubtedly one of the most influential rock guitarists of the 20th century'
