This is the most known tapping part from Van Halen's Eruption.
There are lots of versions of this song, one lasting 8 minutes,
one in another key, this is transcribed from the 1:41 min. long
version from the "Best Of, Volume One" CD from 1996. Enjoy...
This is a very fast song, and you'll have to have your fingers
with you, if you listen carefully, even Van Halen does some small mistakes..
