Anyway, back to learning Midnight, which is a much more interesting song than Eruption, which is just Eddie cumming all over his guitar. Everybody has those moments, it's nothing special.

EDIT: What the hell do you mean it all sounds the same? Open your ears man. . . It's the same bloody thing as Eruption, and you may say that Eddie has more control over his tremelo bar? Possibly, though Eddie uses it as an effect, Jimi used it as flavor.

dude, EVH is a much better technical guitarist than Jimi. Period. He was more that 10 years after him, if he wasnt better than Jimi, then it would be a disgrace. Cause as every generation passes, the guitarists getter better by skill. So you cant Judge them as one being a better guitarist.(maybe whos the better inspirer, but not better guitarist)
Its like Issac Newton. He is in almost very physics book about his laws and is considered a genieus. He's worshiped by alot of scientists. YET!! scientists now days know much, much more than he every did in his lifetime. This same concept applies with Jimi and EVH. So Jimi cant really be compared to Eddy...

And I highly doubt Jimi could every play Eruption, even if he used his whammy bar for flavor... :rolleyes:
