“No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.”
- Yoda
How often have we all said “I’ll try” when asked to do something? But the fact is, either you will do it… or you won’t. There really is no “trying” as Yoda has pointed out. Either you will pick up that spoon… or you won’t. Either you will make that phone call… or you won’t. Either you will learn that guitar solo… or you won’t. There is no “in between” which “trying” implies.

“Eruption” is an instrumental guitar solo by Van Halen from their first album, Van Halen. Written and primarily performed by Eddie Van Halen, this electric guitar solo showcase is considered one of the most influential rock instrumentals of all time, appearing on many ‘greatest guitar solos’ lists, including a recent Guitar World poll.[1] On the radio, it is usually played together with “You Really Got Me,” which follows the song on the album Van Halen.
Eruption starts with a short accompanied introduction with brother Alex Van Halen on drums and Michael Anthony on bass. The highlight of the solo is the use of fretboard tapping. Eruption was played on the Frankenstrat, with a phaser. A 1960s Marshall tube amp, an Echoplex, a Univox echo box, and studio plate reverb helped define the distinctive tone of the track. The Frankenstrat was tuned a half-step down from regular guitar tuning. Eruption begins in the key of A flat and ends on a E flat note that is a twelfth fret, 6th string harmonic processed through a Univox echo box effect and lowered an octave by an Echoplex.
The Eruption introduction is based on “Let Me Swim” by Cactus [3]. Later in the introduction, an E-flat major quotation of the Etude No. 2 by Rodolphe Kreutzer is heard. The piece that would later be named Eruption had existed as part of Van Halen’s stage act at least as far back as 1976, when it initially featured no tapping. 1 Eruption popularized the guitar tapping trend of the 1980s. Although one-handed tapping (hammer-ons and pull-offs) had been previously done by many guitarists, Van Halen introduced two-handed tapping to the mainstream popular rock audience. The main tapping part of Eruption uses a chord structure and style similar to Baroque Music. Similarly, Baroque-like tapping had been recorded by Steve Hackett of Genesis in 1971 1972.
Initially, Eruption was not considered a song for Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen used it as a studio warm up; however, producer Ted Templeman overheard the solo and asked that it appear as a track on the album. Eddie recalled “I didn’t even play it right. There’s a mistake at the top end of it. To this day, whenever I hear it I always think, ‘Man, I could’ve played it better.’”[4]
Spanish Fly, an acoustic instrumental on Van Halen II, can be viewed as a nylon-string version of Eruption, expanding on similar techniques. Similarly, it was suggested by Templeman for inclusion on the album after he heard Eddie Van Halen playing a classical guitar. In March 2005, Q magazine placed “Eruption” at number 29 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. “Eruption” has also been named the 2nd greatest guitar solo by Guitar World magazine.
The song is featured in Guitar Hero: Van Halen and is considered one of, if not the, most difficult songs in the game.
