My Favourite Eddie Van Halen Lick

From the Van Halen song Girl Gone Bad

This one is in the key of A minor and uses Eddie’s famous legato playing - i.e., a guitar phrase played exclusively with hammer-ons and pull-offs for a smooth sound.

It requires quite a bit of finger stretching to execute this properly so this might take some practice.

However, once you have it down it’ll be an extremely useful lick in your repertoire.
