Eddie Van Halen

The Finger Tapping Master!

We are thrilled to bring you our in-depth player study on Eddie Van Halen. We take a deep divebomb (pun obviously intended) into his unique brand of rock. We tackle his finger tapping technique, songwriting skills and his general bag of tricks. We include three full songs to learn to ensure you are applying all your new knowledge. Watch the video for a full rundown.

As a guitarist, when we think of finger tapping, we think Eddie Van Halen! He was a true pioneer of rock finger tapping and a true master of the style. In this course we will be taking you through a finger tapping masterclass as well as analysing all the other techniques and methods that EVH uses in his playing, such as a wide variety of harmonics, bluesy licks and quick pentatonic playing. We will be applying all these techniques into 2 awesome EVH style solos, as well a cool Van Halen rhythm track. As with all our player studies, by the end of the course you will have a deeper understanding of how to apply the EVH style into your own playing.
