Guitarists Who Changed Music: Eddie Van Halen

[@Producelikeapro]

Just heard the absolutely horrible, devastating news that our beloved Guitar Genius Eddie Van Halen has passed. We can't contain our tears, such an incredible Artist. He gave my son one of his guitars, it reads ‘To Charlie!! Play It Loud & Drive Your Dad Crazy’. An amazing talent who shaped music forever. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen. Our prayers are with your family.

Well said. If you can put on something like "I'm the one" and still think Eddie's spirit is gone, it's prob your spirit that's gone. Btw, spirits often attach themselves to their photographs & possessions. Naitve Americsns understood this, that's why they never allowed their picture to be taken. Ed's ENTIRE heart & soul is forever imprinted on Van Halen music. Whether you're listening to the tracks or playing it on a guitar, Ed's spirit is there with you. (Love You Ed! Thanks For All The Joy & Passion You Brought Into My Life. I'll See You In Heaven Big Brother!)

@Luke Very good point. It is hard at times to tell where one begins and one ends and that's what is so great about what he does.

[@josephfish6593]

Eddie is so fun to watch, it looks like he's having a blast on stage!

[@MrUltraworld]

In late '77 we saw Black Sabbath and the opening act was Van Halen. Eddie's playing just knocked me over, it was like an alien had landed. When Sabbath came on, the audience was not having any of Ozzy's drunk shenanigans and piled the chairs in front of the stage and walked off. I ran home and got the first record and my life has never been the same. Eddie made all of the guitarists of the day rethink their approach to guitar playing and the race was on. NO guitar player since then has done half as much for the instrument. And now just one day later, he's gone. RIP

[@robpoma3874]

I also saw them open for Black Sabbath at The Bayfront Center in St Petersburg, FL. . Van Halen blew the roof off the place, just incredible. Black Sabbath came out and was the worst band I've ever seen. They were tuning their guitars during the show for like 20 minutes. Polar opposites. RIP EVH.

[@TravisHY]

Eddie's rhythm playing and specially his PHRASING AND SWING are absolutely unmatched when you compare him to his contemporaries. I mean, when you hear a solo like the one one Bottom's Up, it's clear he focused on his phrasing as much as the flashy technical stuff when he was wood shedding. Love Ed.

[@Marcus_C51]

Yes yes yes! His outrageously superb rhythm playing isn't talked about enough. Phrasing and swing indeed, so punchy, fluid and inventive along with that tone of the Gods=unmatched!

[@kojam1]

Been trying to tell ppl that for years! Lead playing and phrasing from another universe AND rhytmn playing from the grooviest-in-the-pocket place which cannot be earthly. Dear God!!! Try to replicate his groove like on So This Is Love...many have come close..but NONE have matched it.

[@fhillis]

THANK YOU!!! So true and such an under-appreciated aspect of his playing.

[@eddiejr540]

Ahhh...the solo to “push comes to shove”...!!!!!

Its amazing how so many extremely talented guitarists still miss the nuances of Eddie's playing when copying him.
