Van Halen Eruption Solo Tapping Section ON BASS This section was somewhat self taught mostly went off of a guitar tab Matched the notes with down to a 4 string bass There are a few videos on youtube of this being played but no tabs were listed LINK BELOW Any suggestions or edits please let me know In my opinion I would play this on a light set of strings and lower the action on the bridge
