Wow dude. That was really smooth. I've been listening to Van Halen since I was 15. I'm 52 now - man, you nailed that brother! What a phenomenally interesting take Eddie had on rhythm guitar, and you showed that. Really fluid on the legato and whammy control - sounded like Edward, which is obviously the biggest compliment I can give ya!
@BooneTunes3 жыл бұрын
That means so much to me! Eddie is definitely my biggest hero and I've spent a lot of time listening to isolated tracks by him. Thank you!!

@mikekopmanis20992 жыл бұрын
Wow, incredible job. I love this song, it smokes, aka like I'm the One. As a guitarist, when we learn Eddie's stuff it feels like you've conquered and created or developed something personally, but when you think that Eddie actually came up with so many brilliant songs, it leaves yourself in the dust, sucking wind. Clearly what Ed has was magic, a blessing, and we're so fortunate to have been able to enjoy it.
