Eddie is not just gifted. When he was young and broke, he would spend hours and hours and hours practicing guitar and building his own guitars with modified parts, to get the exact sound he was looking for that nobody else had......the sound of which BLEW AWAY every guitar player who heard Eddie hit the scene in 1978. The perfect player arrived with the Holy Grail of guitar sounds. That guitar he's playing he built himself for less than $200 bucks.

I have met 100's of professional musicians; myself included I agree listening to others music can have a bad influence on creativity of original music, Part of guitar / bass riffs, a drum fill or accents, keyboards arrangements, vocals.

I still remember the first time I heard Van Halen in 1978. It seemed like every high school kid ran to the record store to buy their first album the day Runnin With the Devil hit the radio. We were already listening to Hendrix, Clapton and Jimmy Page and nobody thought it was even possible for a new guitar player to come around and blow people's minds. And there was Eddie. It was like hearing something you'd never heard before in your life and it was amazing. Perhaps the best thing about it was that as kids of the 1970's, Eddie and Van Halen felt like ours. They weren't rooted in a previous generation like Hendrix and Clapton and Page. They were our generation, and they belonged to us.

Alan Schaible That’s awesome! Where and how much were tickets?

The girl on the right with the yellow top had such a big smile on her face. Yup, that's how I feel everytime I watch or listen to Eddie play.

The "different breaks" are actually Eddie transitioning into different songs. This is called the Eruption solo, but Eruption itself is only maybe a minute long and it was the first "super fast" part you heard him playing. He opened up his guitar solo with a song called 3:16, which is a song he wrote as a lullaby to his son, Wolfgang. Then went into a part of another song, then Eruption before his first "break." Then when he went to the middle under the blue light and played the song that sounded like a violin, that is an entire song called Cathedral. The song where he is slapping his guitar is called Spanish Fly. So the "Eruption solo" here is really a set of several songs that came off different albums. Eruption just happens to be the solo he became famous for. He built his own guitars and gear because he couldn't afford all the special stuff other bands had. He was an inventor and innovator of instruments and sound. A musical genius. He got it from his father, who was a Dutch musician and had Eddie classically trained as a kid. Eddie didn't start off his musical life on the guitar...he started it on the piano. He actually picked up a guitar because he and his brother were starting a band, and they both wanted to play the drums but Eddie let his brother do it. And that in fact is who is playing the drums in this video. We are all glad they made that switch because it changed music history. You just witnessed true talent, and glad you girls enjoyed it!

Hmmm Hendrix did & Uli Jon Roth does

I love watching people's reaction videos to Eruption. To see people discover what I have loved for years is an incredible and edifying thing. Now, this is called Eruption, but it really is an amalgam of several different solos Eddie has performed on their albums over the years. It includes Spanish Fly from Van Halen II, and Cathedral (where he makes the guitar sound like a cross between an organ and a violin) from Diver Down, and the intro to Mean Street (that's where he looks like he's just slapping the strings).

What the girl on the right said at around 8:53...the violin thing...thats exactly what I was thinking the first time I saw Eddie play live, 25 years ago. I'd never heard Cathedral before and it was unbelievable to me that he could make that sound with a guitar.

When I was a kid in the 80s these are the 13 minutes that made me really want to play guitar. Eddie Van Halen is a musical genius. He hand built the guitar that he was playing.

The video ended abruptly like that because they went straight into the next song. The whole concert was recorded and it's awesome! Side note, the drummer is his brother Alex.

Watching Gen-Z's appreciate metal and 80's rock ...gives me hope for humanity .

If you listen very close....he and his guitar"Frankenstine"....are having a great conversation.....R.I.P EDDIE....G.O.A.T.

So nice to see young people listening to older music. Thanks guys enjoyed the reactions

11:58 9:13 The youngun in the center there should definitely pick up a guitar and learn! The way she feels the music and takes in the sound and the melody is absolutely remarkable to see! The great legends of the past from Eddie Van Halen, to Kirk Hammet, to Steve Vai, to Stevie Ray Vaughn, to Slash, to BB King, to Eric Johnson are who inspired all the guitarists of today to create music and art on the guitar (the greatest instrument in my opinion*). It is definitely, without a doubt in mind, a totally worth it journey that will inspire you and others for a lifetime. Keep rockin' you guys❤

Way back in his younger years, roughly early 80's, he would play with his back to the crowd for a lot of parts in the songs because he didn't want people (especially musicians ) figuring out and copying his fretwork. Took many years for him to showcase his finger work live.

Great to see the younger generation appreciating '' Real Music ''

You girls did an amazing job of analyzing this video! I've seen reaction videos from adults who don't have the critical analysis skills that the three of you have! While Eddie Van Halen is playing "Eruption" here, he is also mixing in parts of three other instrumentals: "316," "Spanish Fly," and "Cathedral." Imagine growing up in the late 1970s and early '80s and hearing EVH play but not having videos or the Internet to unveil the mystery behind what he is doing with the guitar. You girls are seeing all the secrets revealed; maybe you will start your own band one day. Good luck with the channel :)

All from the hands of a maestro whos talent influenced a entire generation of guitar players.No guitar player has come close besides Jimi Hendrix to change the face of guitar playing forever.

Saw van halen in 2004 Biloxi Mississippi....Simply the best❤RIP

I live for this music lol. When comes to great guitarist such as Eddie Van Halen and his legendary guitar skills, you have to stand in awe. *In AWE!* 😎🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great reactiong guys!!! Keep rocking and happy weekend, hugs and lot of love from Argentina 🇦🇷🤘🏻

If you can, listen the the son right after this solo. Very cool how this solo goes right into it. And he breaks a string in the middle of the song and changes guitars. A master at his craft. RIP Edward.

Been playing 25 years . Grew up watching him , truly the best ever . This gives me chills how great he is

Somebody get Mia an electric guitar!!

I'm glad you like the music.

That bit he plays when the stage goes blue i can picture him playing that part from the heavens above, so eerie but in such a beutiful way. I absolutely love it! I miss you bro.

Mia is like, somebody get me a guitar...that is amazing you guys are great! I loved how you closed your eyes and just took in the music, I do that at every rock show I have ever been too, it is really great to close your eyes and just take in the music...well done girls!

Thank you David!

Excellent choice! Loved the Steve Vai reaction vid as well. Recommendation: "Soothsayer" by Buckethead. There's a live version considered to be the "best" and most "emotional." Love the channel!:)

Thank you ! This Totally made my day

You are correct.....those are all parts of songs that he has written. That's a huge part of how great he was as a musician. He would create the craziest and most beautiful sounds and make them part of a song. Great reaction! RIP EVH

I remember buying there very first album and being blown away his passing is a momentous loss keep him alive buy rocking there music for ever LOVE U EDDIE💔💔💔

Rip Eddie! we lost one of the great ones today :-(

He was unarguably the greatest guitarist that was ever born his techniques and skill and the cones and sounds he was creating really moved every guitarist in the world when they heard it especially when they heard eruption everyone went wild over that song are we perhaps the greatest guitar solo ever performed he played hours and hours and hours in his bedroom he was never far away from his guitar he always picked it up and played it after 40 some odd years he became the greatest guitarist in the whole world and his sounds and his techniques will be unmatched for decades to come EVH rest in peace Eddie no one will ever take that number one spot away from you ever

When he's on he's the best you'll ever see, such great memories, literally brings me to tears.

All 3 had there faces melted that day you can see it in there eyes 👀
