- It's true I'll come clean, Van Halen's 'Spanish Fly' inspired me more than 'Eruption.' In this video, I teach the concluding tapping sequence at the end of 'Spanish Fly.'
Gear: Guitar: EVH Striped Series Circles Guitar Amp: Yamaha THR10X
I’m a guitarist from the UK, completely self-taught and have been playing since I was 12. I play Hard Rock including AC/DC, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne and more modern influences including Alter Bridge and Steel Panther.
I graduated with a First Class (BA Hons) Music Business Degree from the University of Sussex, studied it at BIMM Manchester.
At uni, I helped arrange a masterclass for Ozzy Osbourne/Firewind guitarist Gus G and played an important part in the preparations for a Guthrie Govan clinic. Personal highlights of mine include playing on stage with Steel Panther in January 2018 and when I got the opportunity to spend the day with Steve Vai on his Passion and Warfare Anniversary Tour.
Since launching the channel properly in 2015, I am very pleased to have received positive comments from Sam Coulson (Asia), Michael Starr (Steel Panther), Rick Graham, Henning Basse (Firewind Lead Vocalist) and other notable figures in the guitar world.
I teach subscribers complex rock licks, provide other tuition videos and demonstrate exciting kit and equipment for shops such as RichTone Music in Sheffield, Sounds Great Music in Cheadle.
I’m a connoisseur of fine guitars and I am very proud to be known on RUclips for being a user of Charvel Guitars, Yamaha THR amps, EVH Gear and Stormshadow Guitarworks.

Spanish Fly is also inspiring because it has that one vocal, the Eddie grunt
He says «here we go»
I’ve been playing for a long time and never ever learned that tapping sequence. I truly appreciate it. You are a fantastic instructor! Don’t ever stop!🤘
Dude everything Ed does is ez. To show us Quit taking Life so seriously. PEACE
@@bobravenscraft5376 Ummmm as soon as you said “everything Ed does is EZ” you lost all credibility. 👎
Fantastic! I learned this from a cherry lane tab book in 1993. You have captured this so accurately! Tone is spot on.
Cool Joe. The tone comes from a Yamaha THR10X, same with all of my other videos. :)
I know this is an old video but fantastic stuff as always. Still reeling off of yesterday's news. Rest in peace King Edward 💔🎸
I saw Van Halen live in 1984, I was upfront, about 10 from him almost the entire show, of the many things I noticed, he tapped extremely hard, slamming his finger on the fretboard, accurately and with force.
Yeah you don't have to look you can hear it in Spanish Fly. I think the volume comes from pulling off hard rather than hammering on hard.
Sounds good on electric!
I play it on the spoons also great.
@@culturedmilk363 i play it on the triangle and it's great
@ty j played it on Robert Trujillo’s Kazoo sounds great
I’ve always loved this tapping piece that Eddie did on Spanish Fly. Sounds killer on electric guitar. I’ve learned this from your video. I much appreciate you taking time to show us how it’s done Cameron!
RIP King Edward! You are sorely missed and to me, you’ll always be the best!
awesome. im off work tomorrow so i will play with this all night!!! Thanx Cameron
Bruh thank you so much , I’ve been looking for this for ages , it’s by far one of my favorite pieces ever . Cheers
Driving the desert in 1981 at night with the warm air in the car looking at the night lights of Palm Desert . Old memories.
I always liked Spanish Fly because it went straight into DOA which has always been my favorite VH song
AWESOME!!
Thanks, Cam
Brilliant
This lick is one of my evh's favourite. Thank you very much Cameron. You explain every evh secret very well and your playing is awesome! RIP EVH.
Thanks cam :)
This blows my head off every time I hear it. Brilliant
Great video!
Learning so much from your lessons! Thanks so much!!
EVH is a genius!
Cam, great EVH stuff! You are sounding incredible, as always! I really dig what you've done with that guitar as well, adding some color by changing the volume knob and the pickup mount! That's one of my favorite EVH guitars! I love the dots and stripes design! 😊👍👍🎸🎶
Your videos always motivate me to practice more 👍👍
I really appreciate that thank you so much! :)
I second that!
Ya I learned Spanish fly a while ago. What an amazing piece of music...
Awesome lesson. I have very long fingers and even for me that is a mean stretch. Thanks for continuing to inspire us Cam.
Perfect tone!
Awesome! Dude you are great at tapping! Inspiring stuff man! Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you Rath I really appreciate the comment. :)
Of course! You are a badass sir!
I don't know if you interact with your fans but I'm newish and I've learned a few things watching your videos. I really want to say thank you dude! You're amazing!!!!
I certainly do interact with my subscribers. Without them I couldn't do this. And it's you I have to thank. Really appreciate you stopping by and leaving the lovely comment. All the best. Cam
Cameron this is great. This has improved the way I have played this. You sound just like the record. I am came across an old guitar magazine (20yrs about). Interview with Steve Morse. He said he is more amazed with Eddie's Rhythm. I have heard this before. His rhythm is one of the best of all time. Anyway you could do maybe some rhythm from AFU (Naturally Wired). Seems to be a rhythm clinic for a song. The intro to that song is so original and awesome. I have never come across anyone who ever pointed that out. Do whatever you want, your lessons are awesome no matter what. Just hoping you cover some VanHagar killer rhythm sections that maybe you find interesting.
Thank you very much for your comment Joe I really appreciate it. I will be learning lots of Van Halen/Hagar stuff in the near future but at the moment I am concentrating on some Black Sabbath, Gus G and some progressive music from Plini and Angel Vivaldi. Really been getting into that stuff lately because of the feel and the phrasing. You need to check them both out if you haven't. I was never a fan of instrumental music but Plini and Angel Vivaldi have changed that. Also working on a Cathedral cover that should be up in the very near future, yet again I am mimicking the live version. I'm surprised by how it is coming along, I hope it impresses you guys too. :)
amazing
Love that guitar!
Dude thank you so much I didn’t even know this was from Spanish fly I’ve been trying to figure it out by ear but this helped me learn my favorite tapping lick, Thank you so much
Yo same! This made me wanna learn so much from Eddie
Great music
Killer!!
So nice, l love it.
Awesome lesson ! Thanks man
Practice makes it happen always hard work but you must challenge to get better,um referring to only one just say in.enjoy and have fun.I have taken flamenco guitar and applied its fun on electric 😁
Wrist killer lick! It's awesome tho
Nice! You can devote the whole channel to EVH that's fine with me. 👍
1984... greatest Van Halen album. Also my first Van Halen album. LOL
Not that this is from 1984. Don't misunderstand.
Hi don't no why but this lick always reminds me of neon city vibes for some reason
Why does that guitar look tiny on him
0:54
Missed a bit in the final A string descending bit .. which is my favorite part of the lick. But great “Live Without A Net” version. Your handshake must be like a vice grip ;)
You're right. I was kicking myself when I noticed
How do you get that amazing tone?
I am using a Yamaha THR10X :)
Thanks so much! Keep up the awesome work dude.
Gary Moore white knuckles sounds like eruption a bit but picked instead of tapping
what is that attachment on floyd rose? drops tunning where can i buy one how does it work?
Look up the EVH D-Tuna
Do you use any pedals while playing this lick?
Cam is just using the amp
What is your opinion of Guthrie Govan’s “Larry Carlton” track? One of the best solos I’ve heard recent years... and, one of my influences is Gary Moore: he has so much top solos on his name... ever heard his (cover of) The Messiah Will Come Again (live in Montreux)... a must see....
I've not heard those two tracks. Definitely will check them out
20k you play with Jacob Deraps !!
That'd be a lot of fun! He's the best at Van Halen on the net :)
First thing I ask guitarist. How's your Legato on the Fly. The Go What???
I'm not really sure what you're asking
Where do you get those cool vintage signs on ur wall? Cool vid as well, thank you.
They were ordered on eBay from shops in America. I wish I could be more helpful but I actually bought them off my Dad
Great playing !!! Where did you get that colored tone knob and pu ring??
They are actually dimarzio and ibanez replacement parts bought from pickup magnet. Com.... Perfect replacements...
Hey budy what string gauge are you playing for what tuning? Cheers!
I use 9-42
Hey Cameron I have a request on EVH Lick since I need help learning this lick
Which lick is it?
@@CameronCooper the Spanish fly note where you hit the G and High E string like the solo of into the fire
@@sabbathbeast1322 I'm not sure what you're talking about. Do I play what you want to learn in this video?
@@CameronCooper it's the hammer pull note where you play the b and e string part
@@sabbathbeast1322 I still don't know what you mean. Have you seen me play it in a video? Do I play it in this video?
edie van halens guitar solos could easly be records on their own sadly the buble gum radio stations did not play his fantastic guitar techniques i would be considered underground..i wished i had ben to even 1 of his concerts..few guitarest can say they single by themselves changed guitar playing like he did..i realy dont care that much for the songs..like i do his creative guitar solos..and ill bet we will never know all his guitar techniques
as a guitar player since i was 14 EVH never really stood out to me, yeah he's got all the tricks and stuff but gary moore still is my favorite...ever.
As good as gary moore was he will never be as big as evh he's the king every guitarplayer from 1978 onwards says evh inspired them to play
That *is* in eruption
It is the final tapping sequence at the end of Spanish Fly. Spanish Fly and Eruption are separate pieces of music. I think you're getting confused with the live recordings of his solo where he includes bits of Cathedral, Spanish Fly, Eruption and Little Guitars.
Teach the solo to 5150 - that one is giving me some grief
Why not on an acoustic?
Why not on an electric guitar? I don't need to honor the album version when Eddie has played it thousands of times live - the live version is what I chose to teach.
Cameron Cooper plus, its about the lick itself. Its like saying that if he taught you a riff such as lil jack horny on an acustic it would make it unvalid. It's about what is taught, not on what instrument its played on☺
@@CameronCooper fair enough, no criticism at all, I was just wondering. You good anyway!
Terribly sorry for the frosty response in my previous response, I truly appreciate the comments I receive. Quite often with my Van Halen videos, I get some very angry responses from people and I feared that you might have been one of them. And it is NOT the case at all. I just prefer to do it on the electric because I can record it properly, and I also love the live version just as much as the album version. Have a good day! :)
@@CameronCooper No worries, I get it. No I am not an angry responder at all ( well not at you ). I love your videos, your lessons and most of all your playing and you are a great guy. Send me your guitar and we'll call it even😀. Thanks for the response and have a good evening too.
It seems like everyone thinks they're cool to copy Edward. Come up with something original
I'm merely teaching it. Maybe learn to do it or practice what you preach and come with something original yourself. I've seen comments like yours countless times and it's usually the mark of a jealous person who can't play this stuff anyway and has nothing better to do than try to plant doubt in the mind of the person that triggered them in the first place.
OK.. Now play Cathedral.
With pleasure! ruclips.net/video/jyT2cYYlsF4/видео.html
That is not how it goes!!!!
Jeffrey Rivers ammm, it is.
Yes it is
I'd probably take your answer seriously if you were constructive. Not that you need to waste your time writing a second attempt because I am playing it the way Van Halen does. And other viewers are testifying to that. bye bye
Cameron Cooper Cam dont waste your time responding, it's not worth it.
