    Spanish Fly is also inspiring because it has that one vocal, the Eddie grunt

    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!

    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.

    • @CameronCooper
      @CameronCooper  4 месяца назад

      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.

    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.

    • @CameronCooper
      @CameronCooper  6 лет назад

      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. :)
