In 1978, Van Halen exploded onto the ROCK scene & a young Eddie Van Halen changed guitar forever. Eruption boggled and continues to boggle minds. I've seen lots of covers and tutorials that nail the licks and techniques and i have to quote Steve Lukather who has said, "Nowadays... even a fetus can play Eruption." Having said that... I haven't seen a good cover of I'm The One. It's not the licks and solos. It's the actual intro and verse riff. The swing that EVH possesses in this song is almost impossible to duplicate. I have fun playing this song and YES.... other guitarists get WAY more accurate on the solos than I but I believe no one, including myself, has that SWING down. Even my version here is heavily interpreted. I don't have the man's hands so the fingers ain't gonna dance the same. I should also add.... It's in 2 parts because I don't think I can lay down the whole song and be happy with it. I know i'm making it sound like my arch nemesis tormenting my every waking moment. I'm just totally fanboying out. ...and making this video was a blast.
