I toyed with doing a sequel 'Erection - a sudden rush of blood to the head' but it was too long. :wink:

If I could play that well tho I sure as hell wouldn't be doing what i do for a living at the mo :)

I got pretty good at the midlle bit and the ascending bit of the tapping now. The beginning is hard imo. Doesnt help I'm playing it on a baseball bat LP neck either :lol:

It was great back in the days but I have no ambition to play it, I've never heard anyone come close apart from dweezil zappa, covering tunes like thus is so hard

Learning the tapping part was almost a rite of passage for those of us that were teens in the 80s :)

At what point does "I can fake my way through it" become "Pfft! As if!"?  If I'm honest with myself I'm probably closer to the latter these days... :(

I can't do any tapping at all and EVH is not my cup of tea.  I'd love to be able to play it though.  Tapping would add so many other possibilies to my playing if I had the patience to learn how.  Check out this fella for instance, a jazz-tapping take on a Beatles song!:

Except those of us who were incredibly lazy (and still are :( ).

I can manage a couple of bars of tapping, that's about it...

I can kindof play it but I've never heard anyone else do it like the record, even EVH live - there's just so much going on gear wise on that track that you can't really replicate that sound.
