Terry’s Words On Legend Eddie Van Halen
If you’re a guitarist, or if you just love to hear the sound of someone that plays the guitar like nobody else then the name Eddie Van Halen has to come up. Eddie’s contribution to Rock Music and guitarists all over the world is legendary. And to most guitarists professional and novice alike he is the one we all look to and try to aspire to become. There is just no way to describe his style of playing. His style belongs to him an only him. Eddie is the only guitarist that I have ever known that can take any guitar, no matter if it’s a $10,000 custom or some knock off piece of junk with the strings a quarter of an inch off the fret-board and still sound incredible. Hell the man even built from scratch his own guitar because at that time (late 70’s early 80’s) there was no guitar out there that would let him play the way wanted to play. He named the guitar “Frankenstein†Click here to see an exclusive interview from Guitar World with Eddie about the Frankenstein guitar. He invented his own locking tremolo long before the ones we see standard on guitars today. And the guitar solo “Eruption†is a testament to just how great he really is. The recording of "Eruption" happened spontaneously... it wasn't even supposed to be a track on the album. Eddie Valen Halen was warming up at the recording studio early one day, when producer Ted Templeman overheard the guitarist. Templeman loved what he heard, and demanded that they record the solo. Eddie quickly recorded one take of "Eruption", and they ended up putting it on the album. Says Eddie: "I didn't even play it right. There's a mistake at the top end of it. To this day, whenever I hear it I always think, "Man, I could've played it better." ©
I wish I played well enough to be able to say that about myself. And to top off an incredible career Van Halen has now been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Every guitarist has opinions on what some of the greatest recorded guitar solos are. While there are many that are commonly regarded as "great", there are lots of others that don't get as much attention. Not too long ago, the editors of Guitar World magazine put together a reader's poll, to find out what their readers considered to be the best guitar solos of all time. © Eddie is listed as number 2 out of 100 for Eruption. The sound of his guitar says the rest. The song you are hearing now is from the OU812 Album its called “Cabo Wabo†A lot of you may not know this song, and I am not going to debate over if the band Van Halen was better with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar. I like this tune because of the really great mixture of blues and rock guitar playing of Eddie.
