Eruption- Van Halen- Eddie Van Halen Guitar Solo- Electric Violin Cover by Nina D Nina’s Notes 🎶: This was by far the hardest thing I’ve learned thus far on electric violin in the rock genre. This is the solo of all solos. While there is no shortage of covers and tutorials on the internet for a guitarist who wants to learn it, when I went to learn it, almost nothing of the sort existed for violin. There were a few covers out there on acoustic violin that are great- but anyone who knows me, knows I wanted to try and sound as authentic to Eddie as possible, on violin. There were many steps to this process, the biggest being learning how to finger tap on a violin. It was a long process of trial/error and practice to achieve the effect chain and technique. Some FAQ: 1.) It is a 7-string violin, not a chin guitar. If you don’t understand why, ask me a question! I will gladly answer. (But don’t state something as fact you have no experience in). I am a classically trained violinist who also plays electric violin, guitar, bass, and piano. I am qualified to answer your questions. 2.) It’s not easier to play on a violin. (Violin is never the “easy” instrument). 3.) Yes, I write my own music, but that has no bearing at all on being an instrumentalist. The best virtuoso instrumentalists in the word mostly do not write music because they practice all the time- to be the best they can be at their instrument. (Touring soloists, session players, hired guns for A-listers). 4.) No, I’m not miming to Eddie. You can come see this live on my tour dates with Femmes of Rock. You can also find live videos of this on YouTube.
