Gentlemen, I was around in the 1970s when Van Halen broke onto the world stage, and all those years ago, the first time I heard the Eruption solo from their first album, I was absolutely stunned. I am a guitar player, and have studied Eddie's technique over the years, but I will tell you that I could practice that one solo for the rest of my life and never get it right. You are both absolutely right to feel that you were transported to a higher consciousness by his incredible technique and innovation.

Eddie was so far ahead of his time it's scary. No guitar player in history was that far ahead. Not Hendrix not Clapton not Page no one...Eddie was playing at a level that 50 + years advanced still have trouble playing...he didnt just burp up and regurgitate blues like everyone else. He created an entire new language, system, technical level, skill set, gear set up that never existed before. Best there ever was.

@@nilshaller5917 agreed. That's the only other player that was clearly ahead of his time. So when Hendrix came out blues playing was good already with Clapton's Beck and others that were still good. Hendrix took that and certainly was more advanced. When I hear Eddie's playing in the early 70's compared to what guitar playing was at that time, sounds as if he was from another planet and playing music from another century...just light years ahead...at least in my opinion

@markjohnson4217 3 жыл бұрын

The guy who first took hammer and tap playing to that extreme was actually Alan Holdsworth, he was a fusion jazz player. I wonder if Eddie heard what Alan was doing in the 70s and had a hard rock epiphany. It may have been a coincidence, Eddie was doing all kinds of crazy shit with that axe, beating on the harmonics by drumming on the neck, bending chords by pressing on the strings above the nut, I have never seen that before.

Eddie Van Halen (RIP) was in his own category. This band brought SO much crazy energy to each show. I saw them open for the Rolling Stones in 1981. The sheer volume of the speakers and fans rushing (and being crushed) to be near the stage scared me until my boyfriend put me on his shoulders and moved us to higher, safer ground. After that, the show was pure joy☺ Imagine Mick Jagger (backstage) listening to them before the Stones went out to perform.

I knew he was the next historical guitar hero of all time. He gutted out his guitar...he rewired the pick ups to give the guitar the sound we all hear and love. His guitar was manipulated by his fingers in every way possible.Tapping was his trademark move but he also manipulated the volume knob up and down to give that "Cathedral" sound in which you asked us to comment on. There will never be another Eddie Van Halen and there will never be a greater guitar genius to take his place. R.I.P Eddie...we love and miss you so much.

@dipsydoodle7988 3 жыл бұрын

Great reaction. Eddie is the king of "effects" or essentially the creation of his own tones and sounds. A lot of it has to do with the fact that he built his own guitars because he had a specific sound in mind for Van Halen. If you listen to song after song, there will always be a specific riff or solo. Eddie was a prolific composer. Prior to his death there was a good 30yr catalog of music that you could always peg as definitively VH, but no two riffs or solos are the same. It's beyond impressive. Who else was playing the guitar using the volume dial? Who else modified their guitars to play them from the back? I'll tell who, NO.ONE. Aside from being technically proficient, EVH will always be set apart because of his innovation and ingenuity(he even has patents on one of the guitar modifications he INVENTED). Those are two things a great guitarist doesn't "have" to have to be great, but he had it on top of the raw musical talent. One of a kind. RIP.

All guitar construction would change, all guitar playing would change, all guitar technique would change, all guitar tone would change, the way guitar music is transcribed would change... the world would change and we had the privilege to grow up with Edward Van Halen!

Musicians back then didn't just play their instruments, they mastered them beyond their known abilities.

What he was doing under the guitar was plucking the springs that operate the tremolo aka whammy bar. And the system hes running through you could hear a fly fart on a string. He was too good

eddie plays the guitar his own way--not the conventional chard way---that's why he's so Great!! Also, his brother Alex VH plays the drums, you should Alex's solo too!!!

Eddie didn't invent the tapping method but he was the one who perfected it!

@itsenergybob8917 Жыл бұрын

What he was doing around the 8:45 mark is working the volume knob to make the guitar sound like a cello. Watch his right hand. Just before that, when he's tickling the neck, he's already plucked the parts of the strings that are from the nut to the tuning peg; and from the bridge to the anchors. Bending the neck ever so slightly also helps the diving sound along with the tremolo bar.

This was what he played for sound checks and a warm up before concerts and someone decided he should add it to the show. Its all improve Man

It’s not all improv. When you know all of his catalog you’ll see how much he derives out a map of what he chooses to plat, how he changed it each tour. And for a show like this over 2 nights recorded for dvd he chose to play more of things people would recognize, not just go up an wing it.. Obviously.

most of that solo is pieces parts of songs from his albums. the drumming part was from the intro of 'mean streets'... the church organ sounding part is from a song called "cathedral" from the diver down album where he uses a delay pedal and hammers the parts while rocking the volume knob on and off... the tapping part near the end before he goes to sit down is a song called "spanish fly" from van halen ii.. the clean part in the beginning is a song called 316 that is dedicated to his song that he would play to valeries stomach before wolfgang was born. it appears on for unlawful carnal knowledge. the tapping part after that is of course "eruption" from van halen I.. aside from that the rest is improv. but most of the content he plays is derived from recorded music...

@@bach5150 fuck álbum is from 1991 and this video where he plays 316 is in 1986... BUT yes it's not improv, it was composed, just not recorded yet. Sometimes he created licks and used them live before them being in an album.

I never get tired of watching people discover Eddie Van Halen for the first time! That's one of the biggest things Eddie was known for...figuring out how to make any sound he could think of come to life on the guitar! The most innovative guitar player since Jimmy Hendrix! Welcome to America, Comrades....that's what we do....we invent and we shred! RIP (Rock In Paradise) EVH!

You asked about "why" it isn't happening in your generation. I truly feel that a turn back will come. People will sat ENOUGH with the auto tune & computer generated crap. I really feel it's also going to be partially because of reactors like you introducing real musicianship to younger generations. Eventually people are going to demand real singing & instruments again as at the very least a a measure of greatness.

When he flipped the guitar, so it was in table top mode, he was "plucking" the fulcrum springs of the Floyd Rose tremolo system then he pulled down on the open G string to get that SCREAM by playing with the whammy bar.
