Riff Interactive Analyzes Style of EVH

Example Lesson (Click for a close-up)

Riff Interactive has released a new Interactive Guitar Lesson CD-ROM product: Eddie Van Halen Style (retail $10.95, sale $9.95).

In this lesson series you'll learn how to play like the incomparable Eddie Van Halen. Eddie came to prominence with Van Halen in the late 70's. His first album floored guitarists with a combination of technique, tone and riffs. His unaccompanied solo 'Eruption' sent every rock guitarist back to the 'woodshed' to practice their picking, legato and a new must-know technique: 'two-handed tapping'. This lesson series covers many of Eddie's techniques and signature licks.

Storm Stenvold is a successful teacher and musician. He has studied music since age 8, playing guitar and bass guitar for the past 17 years. Storm attended the University of California - Berkeley and graduated with honors from Musicians Institute - Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT). His instructors included Scott Henderson, Paul Gilbert, Steve Trovato, Ron Eschete and Keith Wyatt. He has recorded guitar for Warner Brothers production team, Mephisto Odyssey, and for his own original bands. Storm won radio station KSJO's "Best Guitarist" competition in 1997.
