@stiffrichard28163 жыл бұрын
It was the British school system. Musical talent was considered prestigeous within British society so any kid that had some potential (or even if they didn't) was encouraged with strict lessons, at school and at home. The same was true of the VH brothers. Any that say they were self-taught is usually only half-true. It really just means that they went againt the grain and learned the blues or rock and roll on their own from listening to the records.

The thing I love about Steve is that he believes in the "less is more" thing. What I mean is that he has written a vast amount of music and fantastic songs, but a great many of those songs don't incorporate "out front" solos. He simply does what is required to create beautiful music. He holds so much back in reserve because we all know that, when required, he can blow down walls with brilliant solos. So humble and reserved...a great guy.

For the record Eddie Van Halen never said he invented tapping, that was ascribed to him! Eddy's extreme Talent allowed him to incorporate tapping into many of his solos which to me are quite memorable. Bottom line guitarists work with a limited amount of cliches that are played over and over again. What makes a unique guitarist is how these cliches are utilized. Clearly Eddie Van Halen and Steve Hackett were able to creatively use this technique in a way that was truly brilliant.

Brilliant Steve, keeping the early Genesis fire burning, thank you! As for tapping, yes, Steve obviously predated EVH but was not the first rock player to use the technique; that would have been Harvey Mandel. As for Eddie, you can read in detail how he really connected to tapping in Greg Renoff's fantastic book "Van Halen Rising"; a bit of a spolier, but the EVH tapping lineage is as follows: Harvey Mandel>>to Terry Kilgore via lessons>>Terry Kilgore to EVH>> via woodshedding & hanging out together. It is unlikely that EVH was aware of Steve Hackett's earlier & limited usage of the technique.

Anything we do on guitar has probably been done before, good fun all the same. i was never into Mr Hackett's playing, and sadly time has changed nothing.

People giving shit to EVH saying that he did not invent tapping when he never claimed to have invented it. He just mastered the technique by himself and used it in a more creative and versatile way. Obviously Steve was doing this technique way before EVH in the same way but I think both guitarists deserve the same appreciation since they found out how to do this technique properly by themselves and without knowing each other. EVH did not know about Steve when he started tapping.

And the three of them kept saying "didn't they just play that song?". When I finally got free at the end I pointed out how they kept saying that, and that it's because they are all autotune songs and they all sound the same.
