I'm not going to say it's impossible to play...but this is one bad ass Easton solo, tone, and technique. There was a video out there that showed what he was doing with his fingers a little more...but if you listen to it's closely it's fast, acurate, rockabilly and flat out cool. There is also a lesson on there somewhere showing how to play the solo, but you can't see everything that's going on with the neck.
My band was going to do this song (my best friends girlfried) and I didn't even think about the solo. I'll admit I never thought of ripping solos when I thought of the cars, but that's all changed. I spent a few hours to get it down and got the basic rythm down...but couldn't get the solo. It's on the long term "to do" list.
I thought Eddie copped it off of Ace Frehley from KISS?
"Tapping" is a technique that has been used for over 100 years in the classical realm. The works [of] Sor comes to mind.
Jimmie Webster, used to work for Gretsch guitars in the 40's(?), 50's, 60's...called it the "Touch Technique." even released an album using a stereo white falcon, 2 gretsch amps, & mostly tapped technique.

Cheers gents,
I'm thinking more along the popularity route here.....Really, who would get credited with introducing it as a popular "new" rock technique.
Everyone seems to see EVH as the man, but Van Halen (the album) was only released in '78; the same year I saw Easton was using it live......
