Lick of the Month - October 2006

For this months Lick of the month we have included the famous guitar solo "Eruption" by Eddie Van Halen. This is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and is a must learn if you want to master finger tapping, open string licks and more. So blow the dust off your 1978 Van Halen debut album and get a ripping!
