  • Hello! This is myself demonstrating Eruption live. Amp is a Bray 4550. Cab is a StoneAge 4-12 w/ Celestion Heritage G12Ms. Mics are a Heil PR30 and PR40. The Gibson Explorer has a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge. Pedals between the guitar and amp are a Keeley 6 Stage Phaser and an 80's model Keeley modded Ibanez AD-9 for the very end, where my dad hit the pedal and turned the delay time down slowly. The reverb is added via wet/dry setup (using a Bray LO-1 Line Out Box that taps a signal from the Bray 4550 speaker output) using a Fender Super Reverb and Boss SE-50 effects unit that is sitting next to the Bray and StoneAge, and is also being picked up by the one microphone. Here is a link to hooking up the LO-1 for the wet/dry setup.

It has to be only a matter of time until someone big discovers you, snatches you up and you are on the road. Thanks for the best series of lessons I've seen on RUclips....not to mention the performance! Thanks and keep 'em coming! Peace.

  • @love4thetruth
    @love4thetruth 7 лет назад +1

    I am very impressed. This IS the best version of eruption I have seen. You captured the feel of it. Too many players play this rushed. But you have the accuracy with the relaxed-ness that the original recording has. You even do the ending properly. Both thumbs up.

  • @YoBroMan

    Fantastic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You handle the guitar in a fantastic way. Professional player. I’m a old beginner and would probably never going to learn this solo. I was 9 years old when this Van Halen debut album was released. Since then the are one of many of my idols. Me and my older brother listening to VH. Love the solo and you do it sooo good. No matter if you are a girl or a man.... you are a fantastic musician. And they who say another thing is just mean and jealous people. Happy Christmas wishes from Sweden.

    You absolutely smoke!! Over the years every guitarist I see attempt "Eruption" hits the right notes, sometimes, but they all miss one thing, and it's unforgivable to me, and that's "SOUL"! Eddie had it in spades man! Every little pick scrape, dive bomb, vibrato, body and neck smack, or in Eddie's case, punch, had meaning. It's related to his ability to write amazing groundbreaking guitar riffs, song structures, and incredible stage presence. Between him and Dave I thought I died and went to rock n roll heaven! And Alex and Michael ain't to shabby either! Thanks. Sean Black

    I am forty-five years OLD and when I was in high school in the eighties, only the few real badasses could even touch eruption. Nowadays its played by tons of budding guitarists. That said, Chelsea nails this one unlike ANYONE i have seen back in my day or now. If I wasnt watching I would have thought it was the album playing. KUDOS!!!

      hazor777 what's the name of that effects tone

    • @hazor777
      @hazor777 7 лет назад +2

      Xyan Cuvilie - Eddie Van Halen's early days tone was mostly just distorted amp/guitar (bridge pickup/humbucker) and typically a Phase 90 pedal & Flanger pedal. On Eruption he basically uses the Phase 90 , at a low "rate" ....so it's just barely "percolating" the tone underneath the distortion . Also, - though it sounds mega distorted - EVH's amps were driven just enough (maybe slightly over) the "breakup" level ....on today's amps, with the "overdrive" or "distortion" knobs /options , you would only go about 1/3 of the max ,....maybe a bit over. It's all about CLARITY of the notes ........hope that helps .

    wow I have checked out most of the eruption lessons and for some reason yours has helped me more than any to figure out the few bars I knew I had to tighten up...most people play the 4 "memorable" parts (hammer on , staccato, finger taps) and junk in between...I was one of those, but now thanks to you, I really think I got it...that section after the A G D power chords is gonna be the hardest and last I probably will have left to note for note, seems to be some really weird notes slipped into a simple box scale there...anyways, I don't know why you out of all the others have reached me to "get it" but I want to thank you for putting this up..i play a lot of solos and don't usually have problems picking them out by ear, but this giant has always intimidated me and now that I am close to nailing it, it really isn't so difficult per say as it is genius....thank you Chelsea...keep em coming !

      Chelsea Constable I think it's sad that guys don't see women as serious guitar players and make stupid comments like"she's good for a girl" It doesn't help when you have so many girls on youtube playing guitar half naked, it sort of set's the tone. So I admire you for coming on here and letting your playing speak for itself, and that it does.....you are an awesome professional guitarist.

It is much easier now with people like you showing us on YT...and thank you for that. Thx for everything you want to share with us♫♪♫
