GO! <br /> <br />In this guitar lesson, Cameron will teach you a cool tapping lick in the style of the great Eddie Van Halen. <br />Edward Lodewijk "Eddie" Van Halen was born in January 26 of 1955. He is a Dutch-born American musician and producer, but he is known as the lead guitarist, keyboardist and <br />co-founder of the hard rock band Van Halen. He is also considered one of the world's greatest guitarists of all times. <br />Some people says that he was the inventor of the tapping technique, the true is that it´s not clear who was the first that came up with this innovative way of playing the guitar. Anyway, everyone knows that Eddie was the one who make this technique popular... <br />Basically, tapping is like having the chance to have more than 4 fingers on the fretboard, so this way you can play more wide and crazy stuff. <br />Also it is important that you come up with your own ideas, which is the best advice for starting to find `your´ unique sound and style. <br />Alright, that is all for today... Anyway I suggest that you keep enjoying and learning from Jon MacLennan and all the staff at Guitarcontrol.com! Where? In our free guitar lessons at www.youtube.com/guitarcontrol
