    Every time I see this particular moment on LWAN solo, it makes my arm hair stand up! It’s absolutely the best, “horse” harmonic he’s ever done! Just the incredible sound of it, “kicking in”, is like anything I’ve ever heard! I’ve often wondered if Zeke kicked in some tone booster at that moment but, whatever the case, it’s one of the coolest sounds ever! That entire solo was! Glad it was captured on film for the planet to enjoy forever!

    Cameron, I am humbled by your amazing talent. This is not a dig in any way but just something I never expected; I’m learning more about how to play like Van Halen by a young man in his early 20s then I ever have by anyone else in the last 25 years I’ve been playing. Thank you for being willing to teach us. You are a good man with a good heart.

    You got to 50K subscribers by the way you share licks and concepts is a way that is easy for the rest of us to understand and replicate those concepts into our own playing. I have picked up some ideas from you that I use in my playing all the time. Most guitar channels I watch don't leave me with long lasting ideas.

    Hey Cameron,
    It’s frustrating knowing Ed’s career of make new music is most likely over. At least the kinda music he created in the 70’s. Not a fan of his modern guitars and sound at all.
    Knowing his technique as you do, do you have the ability to create a new Van Halen solo that is all your own, but is done entirely by using Eddie’s technique? Perhaps in the style of Eruption.
    Essentially one that is your own.
    But one that captures the essence of what Eddie could have created.
    Just wondering.
