How to Play Eruption By Eddie Van Halen (Tab) Tuning: E Flat Guitar: Any Strat style guitar with a Humbucker pickup at the bridge of the guitar. Key: B : Bend B(6): Bend Pitch indicated T : Tremolo pick (Pick Fast) Tr : Trill + : Tap \ : Slide Down / : Slide Up H : Hammer On P : Pull Off PM : Palm Mute ~ : Vibrato W~ : Whammy Bar * : Harmonic � : Pinch Harmonic Gear: Eddie used a MXR Phase 90 script or something like that, use the newer Block version if want, but Eddie used a script instead of the block. He also used a boss equaliser, you also use a MXR Distortion + if you want as well, just as good. He used sometimes two instead of just the one. And he also had reverb at about 2.5 Sec Decay time and a delay about 500 probably 600 Mil Sec�s and a Tape Delay at the end. I would prefer a fender watt head amplifier stack but you choose.
