Hey everyone, Im Kris. About a year and a half ago i was at a friends house and was playin some music, suddenly i hear some really awesome guitar playing. I asked him "Whos this?" he replied "Oh thats Eddie Van Halen playing eruption." From that moment on i became a Van Halen fan and began playing guitar. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

Welcome here man!
I'm glad you discovered Van Halen. Ed is a great influence, and the reason why most of us here got into guitar playing.

Do you record your work? How long have you been playing?

Cheers,

CC

Hello, Valmar. I look forward to hearing any samples or ideas, etc from you. A good way to grow in composition skill I have found is to share your ideas with a trusted group of people who will be honest but not brutal.

Anyway, hi!

Hey Kris,

Your story is all too familiar. When I was in high school, a buddy of mine threw in an 8-track tape (OK, I can hear it now - HOLY CRAP DID HE SAY AN 8-TRACK TAPE?!) and sure enough it was hearing Eddie plaing Eruption that got me hooked into playing guitar. In any case, welcome. There's alot of great info on this site as well as some truly gifted musicians paying tribute with thier music to the one who has inspired countless fans.
