Excellent playing!! The last note that Eddie played (low E harmonic) I think he uses a delay pedal for that. That's what it sounds like. He sets it at a continuous frequency and he turns a dial down slowly to a low E so the note would keep ringing. Other music books say he does a bar dive, but it doesn't sound like it.

Thanks, dude! These days I try to practice about 2 - 3 hours per day. However, I have five children, so I don't always get that amount of practice in : ) Eruption is weird to practice, largely because of Eddie's super quirky (but awesome) manner of playing. For me, I just took each little section and put it to a metronome ramp. The full track doesn't fit well to a metronome, but you can fit various sections just to get them under your fingers, then slowly begin to stitch the entire thing together. I'm still working on it; always so much to improve! Thanks for watching.

Of course, I would respectfully disagree with the idea that getting (and especially playing!) guitar is a waste of time. Even if you don't become a full-time musician, the guitar teaches many important life skills, most especially dedication and discipline to learning a complex craft. Perhaps you could pitch it that way : ) Otherwise, just start saving up, eventually buy yourself a decent entry model, and have at it. You can always study music theory and ear training in the meantime to set a foundation for yourself. Appreciate the kind words, brother!
