That is so perfect and in the mix you're bound to miss how subtle and cool his feelings is with respect to all parts. Coming out of that perfect bluesy Chuck Berry style solo into the bridge. When he goes into the verse and turns down the volume using his fingers with the quiet pedal tone and the two string finger stabs for the low E, high E, A and D before going to that F sharp Minor with the open E and B strings ringing then muted going to the C sharp minor to the single note low E and A String buildup to the. B SUS 4 pinch harmonics to natural harmonics going from 5th fret to 4th fret and getting the harmonics no one else dares try. The subtle use of bent taps during the solo, the arpeggiated chord during the bridge where the imagery he creates makes it impossible for the listener to not picture an open highway, with the humidity coming off the road while you are hauling ass but all you hear is the quiet sounds of road passing under your feet. The build up with the C power chord flattening the 5th of the C chord which is G to F# which creates such bAd ass tension. The perfect song, perfect brown sound and perfect use of harmonics like the one he gets on the B 2nd fret of the A string after the into goes from C#m to the A M open power chord then hitting the 2nd fret B with that beautiful punch harmonic taking the Lowest B note on the guitar to the next octave without playing the B at the 4 the fret of the G string. Brilliant. Did I mention his feel. HOLY SHITis he the greatest .

So not only could he whip ass on his solos, he was one of the most interesting rhythm guitarists too. 2) Eddie know a lot more than technique and riffs. He was super knowledgeable about chords too. What sounds like dumbass butt rock at first turns out to be pretty sophisticated songwriting sometimes.

Trust me - he's got the gain, his hands are how he manipulates it. The Echoplex gives it all more sustain, an illusion of "more" gain, and probably some studio compression too to go with that. You can hear him all over the volume knob of the guitar and also his featherlight touch on the verses and when he wants to kick it into high gear and achieve the fat gain sound, he simply lays into the pick more. Expert dynamics playing, to be sure.

I had a drink in my right hand, and a cigarette in my left at the bar, and that's where the cancer spot was. I was radiated way beyond the normal numbers, but thankfully, never spread. The Doc's did find a 90% closing on that over- radiated left side. My carotid artery was blocked, but was repaired, dodging the Reaper.

He had such an incredible attack. So raw. Primal almost.

His rhythm was something special, as unique as his lead

The sheer amazingness of Eddie, thrown into sharp relief here. I didn't go on to be a lifelong devotee of 'party rock,' exactly (his 'fair enough' description of what VH did,) but this artifact contains a lot of what made him so mind-boggling to us, back in the day 🤯

So I've been playing guitar for about 35 years. And after hearing this isolated, I realized that I've been playing this wrong the whole time. Thanks though!

It's amazing how much tone he gets from just his hands. The overdrive and distortion is surprisingly low in his set up.

The hook in this song is just fantastic. Eddie just had feel. But it was a indescribable feel. Like you could ascribe feel to a lot of great players that know how to wait or aren't overdoing solos. Eddie was his own genre. The tone and technicality along with a hook that is just jumping. Even the breakdown is groovy. Probably my favorite part. The guy revved his Muira for the song! It shows you that Eddie had good taste as well. I miss him. Van Halen was one of my favorite bands growing up. Thank god for KZbin. These isolated tracks that I have been running into, keep my interest piqued.

Best there ever was is an understatement. In my lifetime I will never see any guitar player like this with that talent. RIP Eddie van Halen. So many copy cats these days. Nope not worthy

Don't Jinx yourself. When I was a young boy I heard a wizard named Jimi play and it sparked my love of music for life after Jimi then Clapton and of course King Edward, but down inside I hope to see a few more emerge and keep this music thing alive we await the arrival of our next guitar wizard!

I agree. Ed had several influences. However, he never told anyone to "play like" him or to be his clone. Ed always encouraged players to create their OWN style of playing but above all else he always said "keep playing!"

Panama... pretty much the entire thing is here in the isolated guitar clip. phenomenal!

simplicity is actually a key here, in his playing. it's so clear. the tone is what is complex and hazy and nebulous, and glorious. this is sooo good with NO shredding 9even the solo!) , but is still badass!

Never noticed the quiet pedal tone on the low E string in the verses… that is really cool!

back when guitar players actually used the volume pot to turn down in the verse.
