I think we're out of the woods and in the clear on this now. I knew it was trouble when I made a video like this, but this subject would either last forever or go down in flames. Hopefully this doesn't cause any bad blood, but if it does, I'm just gonna shake it, sh sh sh shake it off.
Eruption.

I absolutely agree with your statement in your video.

Of course not...
Clapton can't even begin to compare to the genius of the Wayne!
Lil Wayne hasn’t been relevant since like 2013. Is he just the only rapper you know about?
To be fair, she never claimed to be the new Van Halen, That claim was made in a click bait article.
Yes, he literally acknowledges that in the video
Yeah
But she does do a lot of misleading stuff though. Like pretending that she was playing that solo when clearly she wasn’t.
@@ong2220 That was one example. How is that an indication that it's a regular occurence?

I think in pop music the guitar is more of a prop and or fashion accessory.
mastodonseven it is
Agreed
Only time I have ever seen that be false is with Ed Sheeran.
Sadly, it is
Well in some early pop songs the guitar was fundamental, what would beat it be without the riff and the solo

This showing up in my recommended in 2021 and me rolling my eyes at the way the media has *always* and still sets her up for this shit. Yes she inspires young people to learn guitar, and not as a pop star even in my experience/opinion, but as a SINGER SONG WRITER and *not* as an out of this world guitarist that she never claimed to be. So your comments are valid, and I get that you're being sarcastic but I also get why some(wild swifties) would come for you because I don't feel she deserves even ironic criticism for something she's never claimed or tried to be? It would be more accurate to say "who tf compared her to VAN HALEN? She's a great accompaniment guitarist."
no, she's a medium amateur level accompaniment guitarist.
@@Ass_of_Amalek she is inspiring millions to play guitar. She's the second most used artist to learn how to play guitar (just after the beatles). That's what the comparison was about, she's *as inspiring*, not as good as Van Halen
@@chrivs13 I get it. she's just very not good at playing guitar.
@@Ass_of_Amalek even if she is not good at it. She still use that limited skill to sell hundred millions of albums from the song she wrote with the guitar. While you? Self-acclaimed accomplished guitarist with no shit to your name and only go online baiting women?

@@tapeheadreal yes

Popular trend now: pop stars picking up a guitar and playing a single note to make them seem somewhat talented
Aye Lmao
Yeah. It's stupid 😂😂
In Swift's case, she is a rather good guitar player, but it's just not central to her music in the way that it is for rock. The guy that gave her lessons was apparently hired for multiple hours a week, for a significant amount of time. That's pretty intense, and she is an accomplished musician. But as a general statement I'd agree.
Aye Lmao my man postmalone is pretty good tho
ryebread 07 Prince was a Pop (More of an R&B, but still Pop) artist, and he was a guitarist. So, I don't think Swift was the first Pop star to play guitar.
All time great guitarists: EVH, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Taylor Swift, SRV. Fight me?

Hey... stupid... nobody said she could "beat" him. It's not about comparing talent. Fuck, you people are dumb. They just said that they both inspire people to pick up a guitar. That's it. How is so much of this comment section too stupid to understand such a simple fucking premise?

I think they’re both very talented in their own right. Van Halen is a personal favourite of mine, and to be completely fair they’re incomparable, both being _very_ different genres. Either way it doesn’t matter. What matters is that both of them have inspired new generations to pick up guitars. I got inspired by Johnny Marr, another god of guitar from the 80s. Met him once, too. My point here is that music is very much alive.
You’re the only person watching this video with a brain. God forbid people acknowledge both artists for their capabilities. Thank you sir. We need more people like you in the music community

I’m pretty sure it’s a subspecies of humanoid that makes annoying music.
As a musician and in a locally famous band myself, i know for a fact, that eddie has a skill level that she would never ever reach. i actually have one of his staged played guitars in my studio, but i needed to have the sound that he had, so, i also bought a EVH overdrive petal, and a EVH 5150 III S amp stack and cab to just have those sounds and tones that he loved so much!.

I’d argue that post Malone is doing more for the guitar than her. Yes he’s a rapper but he can actually play the guitar fairly well and he regularly plays and sings in front of audiences.
Tom Mears Actually I really like the guy. He’s pretty cool
He inspired me to get a tattoo on my face and to take a shit.
I think Malone is pretty much the same case as Taylor, definitely not more though lol. In any live set she's played for over a decade she plays all or at least a few of her songs acoustic. By her third album she became pretty great as a live accompaniment guitarist, and Malone is cool for playing live when he can too, but that's not the same category as Van Halen which is FINE! It's a different kind of inspiring.

This was great man.
Man tbh this is why I'm staying away from the guitar community even tho I love guitar and I play it. It's this elitist. "i'm better than everyone", attitude that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's not just considering a certain genre bad, it's being so arrogant and thinking your favourite genre is the best. I just wanna jam some metal and have a good time without people shitting on pop and country and thinking metal is 10 times better. All genres are equally good, just cause I like chocolate doesn't mean vanilla sucks for example. Too bad how a community turns you away from things your passionate about...
Someone, NOT Taylor herself, made an article and wrote a troublesome title to get views. Why should we make fun of TS and thrash her when she had nothing to do with this article? Maybe she's not the best shredder but she's a good musician overall and shitting on her for something someone else wrote is just yikes man.
I love this comment. You hit the nail on the head, why trash Taylor Swift when she had nothing to do with the article? Make fun of the article, point out how ridiculous the comparison is when Taylor is a skilled musician NOT a guitarist the like of Van Halen, but shitting on Taylor feels like giving merit to this clickbait article by someone else who made the claim? And this attention to the media narrative to shit on Taylor is what perpetuates how much hate she's received for years.
Exactly they’re acting like she said that. And they compared vids w her on acoustic. Like what’s she supposed to do you can’t shred on an acoustic lmfao
it's literally impossible for this take right here to come from any kind of musician. any musician can tell that she just plays all instruments really unprofessionally. it's not a matter of genre, it's just normal musical professionalism. you can play what she plays professionally, you can play a one string guitar peofessionally, but she doesn't. 95% of buskers on the street play their instruments much more professionally than taylor swift, including those who only strum a guitar to accompany their singing. she's just not good, she has absolutely no dynamics and frequently noticably sloppy rhythm. and of course a moderately professional singer-songwriter-guitar player would write their accompaniment a good bit less monotonous in the first place, because they'd be able to play a bit more varied.
@grimy girl lol what
All my Van Halen fans unite against this disgrace
Yes, we will destroy all supporters of this article
I unite with you
sir yes sir
Remember that Eddie Van Halen to blossomed into a confident musician. He began as an insecure child who refused to share a stage with Steve Lynch or anyone else doing the “tapping thing” Barrios was doing tapping and Harp harmonics in the 20s. Eddies genius was not his technical guitar virtuosity, but rather and amalgamation of his understanding of electronics, production and showmanship. Taylor Swift has break up songs… Anything can be framed in a bad light, however, in an age where are the guitar is pushed further and further out of the main stream, any ability to bring it back on stage is praiseworthy.
this is blasphemy.
Eruption was, what, the second track off the first Van Halen album and guitarist are still obsessed with it and trying to figure it out forty years later?
I see that Taylor has got that D chord just about mastered. Anybody inspired by Taylor can actually buy a guitar, go home, and be playing like her by dinner time. Maybe that’s the attraction.
I'm no Taylor swift fan whatsoever. But according to your logic, advanced technical ability and speed is what makes a good guitarist? Vai, Satriani and Malsteem are virtuosos, but have they ever created an album or songs that were REALLY GOOD songs, that other "simpler" artists have?
@@stupidazzo5404 Why people are just talking about technique or speed? Those things are not what virtuosos are 'only' focusing. And just because you can play very emotional and bluesy or jazzy song-so called good song that people are eagerly claiming*but don't get me wrong I love blues and jazz guitarists-, that doesn't make you a good guitarist. And if you search for those guitarists then you would find their amazing albums. Don't underrate them. Yngwie got his classical view on playing. Listen to Rising Force. It is very enormous and neo classical metal style. And Vai, he can make very progressive sound. Passion and Warfare, it is masterpiece. Satriani to me he is a very fresh and inspiring guitarist, he made great album too. Like Surfing With The Alien.
Dude, I seriously doubt Van Halen got so big merely on the merit of the quality of the composition... rock music was topping charts, they had the visual flair for MTV, which dictated trends... if Eruption was composed today, unfortunately, it would get lost in the shuffle. Unless it was Taylor Swift playing it.
She has not only mastered every chord but actually can choose chords and or scales based on the emotional response they invoke.
She has a performance of “I almost do” on the RED tour where she plays multiple barre chords. I’m sure she can play better than she does on stage, she just keeps it simple so that she doesn’t have to look down at the guitar (focus on the audience) and so there’s a lower chance of messing up. She’s a pop artist who prides herself on her songwriting first and foremost. She’s not an expert, either, but she’s definitely not the beginner/poser people make her out to be.
The only difference is that Eddie Van Halen can actually play the guitar.
I dont know why people are so obessed with comparing two different artist ? Damn they both have 180 genre differences
I still think she is quite great guitarist in this era while most current singers don't even bother to pick
@Cai Tague i didn't even said that 💀
Y'all are comparing pop star with rock star
What can be more dumb than this ?😑
Why would the standards of good musicians getting lower and lower each year?

to quote Mr Tyler again, "there's a different between a pop star who make you want to PICK UP the guitar because they're famous & popular and someone who really inspire you to PLAY the instrument" (that's mostly the idea, not 100% what he said)
This is just unnecessary

Brilliant video
Taylor Swift's influence on guitarists: Has one signature baby Taylor guitar model. -_-
Eddie Van Halen's influence: killer licks, amazing grasp on pentatonics, unreal improvisation skills, tunes to remember, each show was art and entertaining, the passion he demonstrated through his guitar playing, is probably in the top 5 for any aspiring guitarist of the last few decades.
Malicious Megan not to mention his EVH brand of amps, picks and guitars.
has his own guitar line and a sound that cant be copied
Taylor Swift is just wrong. If I had a daughter and she wanted to see kickass women playing guitar I'd show her Nancy Wilson of Heart or Orianthi ua-cam.com/video/G7b-_YcACuQ/v-deo.html

杰 揣卫 this was funny...when I read the original comment.
I fucking hate that people think it takes talent to strum a few fucking chords 😡😡😡
Kill me
People want to start somewhere. People that just want to shred aren't going to find other people to work with. The guitar solo went away from mainstream because they started to sound the same. Punk and most country songs are three basic chords per song. Those inspired by taylor Swift could move on to works by Lita Ford, Nancy Wilson, Samantha Fish and Bonnie Raitt.
And people think it takes much less talent to play metal and dislike or don't appreciate music which they can't understand
Or Randy Rhodes from Ozzy Ozbourne
It works for the millions of people she plays for...
Master Yoda
Nah, firstly he is a rhythm guitarist, he's not posing as a lead guitarist like Taylor.
Secondly, even though for the Most part ac dc's songs are simple, there are a lot of nuances that Taylor would break her hands trying to play.
And I agree that for the most part Malcolm does play stuff that's simple and sounds good, BUT I wouldn't say that AC DC are simple and sound good.
Have you ever tried to play an Angus Young solo?
Like the second solo from ride on.
Or even the intro to thunderstruck, with EVERY note being picked.
In top of all that, when Taylor plays a few chords, it's one chord in a boring predictable strumming pattern, until the next chord arrives and the boring strumming pattern continues.
If I said to you "remember the guitar parts in Taylor swifts song" you wouldn't be able to.
they're not memorable. It's just air filler for when she sings. If it was the guitar on its own, nobody would listen.
Whereas when ac dc have a few chords, they put effort in to make a riff that sounds memorable, before the singing even comes into consideration.
AC/DC are a pretty weird thing to compare to Taylor Swifts air filler crap
Eddie Van Halen inspires me to practice Eruption.
Taylor Swift inspires me to avoid the people who enjoy her "music."
Patricide nothing wrong with it though
Sleep Just her music sucks.
jeez she isnt that bad, get your head out of your ass, people have different opinions
Patricide i prefer taylor
My brother can play the solo for eruption perfectly but I just started playing so I'm not too great yet
I feel like she shows it is still a viable instrument but I think her fans as well as most modern listeners view the guitar as purely an accompanying instrument while they sing. I feel the ones who sing keep learning and the ones who don't drop both endeavors all together.
Exactly! And she never even claimed to be a legendary guitarist. Playing intricate solos isn't necessary to what she wants to show the world, which is her songwriting. People in this comment section act like she doesn't know what she's doing, but she's made millions through her music, even before she became a full blown popstar.
We want this to be longer!!!
I will say this. I teach guitar, bass, and piano at Guitar Center, and I've seen more and more girls come in who want to learn guitar who were inspired by Taylor Swift, but I've exposed them to classic rock, blues, and jazz players which has kept them wanting to pursue guitar more. I'm not stating that she is better than Eddie, that's obviously not true, but if she's encouraging more people to play the guitar than that's okay in my book.
I couldn't get paid enough to say the title out loud
You are absolutely right !!!!
Thanks for the video! After watching I clearly see how the comparison could be made and that said about the two.......nah that's just nuts! But the video was entertaining for sure. LoL
I respect her as an artist. She's done well for herself and can write a catchy tune.... but fuck no, she cannot play guitar anywhere near as good as Eddie Van Halen. Its a silly comparison.
She can play guitar quite good, bu Van Halen is really another level.😁
Trenton Fengel I doubt she even writes her songs mate
she does! back in her first few albums when her music was still nice at least!! her old songs had that country music feel to it unlike the new ones T.T
Trumps No.1 UK Fan i agree. She has like a team of like 5 writers lol
Trenton Fengel I'm sorry did you say *artist*? More like entertainer.
Clearly this video is angled to make T.Swift look bad. This doesn’t show any of her accomplishments as a guitarist. Including when she wrote Eruption for Eddie, found David Lee Roth herself, and even bought Eddie his first guitar...she is clearly a guitar god
Zack Kornfeld Taylor Swift hasn't got the brains to write Eruption for Eddie and how was she old enough to write music for a shred lord in 1979

No I really did not take him seriously, but one never know, and sometimes trolls do say things they are serious about :-)

Your the one who inspired me to play guitar
Actually, my nieces wanted to learn how to play guitar because of pop artists like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. Even Sheeran's stuff is a little complicated for them at the moment. It's just easily digestible pop music. Simply chords. Not really many lead parts. But, the kids love Taylor. They're young so they may grow out of it eventually. At the moment, I'm just glad someone caught their attention even if it isn't someone with amazing, flashy guitar skills like Van Halen. I mean, think about it. Who would you relate to more if you were a 10-year-old girl? Some guy that shreds all day every day, or a young woman that you can kind of identify with? I'm not a fan of Taylor's music, but she reaches the kids. We older guitar players don't have to understand it.
oppositeofme1 To be fair, Sheeran is a talented singer and songwriter. You should let them learn acoustic with the prompt "if you want to get as good as Ed is you've got to practice a lot, cause that's why he's so good"
To be fair, Ed Sheeran's guitar pieces are a lot more complex than Taylor Swift's, I feel as though she has basically just chords where as Ed has different techniques of playing rather than just strumming..
Taylor's songs are more complex than van halen's, and let's not even get into the lyrics. Eddie would probably respect her as much as he respected mj, probably more.
In all seriousness I actually did pick up the guitar when I was 13 because of Taylor Swift. However a different musician made me pick up an electric guitar, and that's John Frusciante after hearing RHCP songs from my dad.
@Dana Gonzalez love this. Great comment!
There's nothing wrong with liking her music. She seems like a nice person and she seems very talented. It's just that guitar doesn't seem to be her forte.
Yeahhhhh John Frusciante!
Idk how to process this.. i think we need to seriously revive rock ballads so little boys dont have to watch pussy guitar to be introduced to the instrument.. its a crisis
@@freeyoutube8298 i mean i agree reviving rock ballads is never abad idea but any source that inspires anyone to pick up a creative outlet, such as instruments or art or writing is fine?, maybe if more people are inspired by their own respective idols to pick up instuments, more bands will be formed to create rock ballads...
Inspiration is inspiration! I am sure it wouldn’t make Eddie Van Halen angry! A kid picking up the guitar because of either one of them is amazing!!
Im a huge van halen fan i literally love eddie he was the only reason why i played guitar and why i play like him aswell, i try and find every possible way to make the songs we love and reconize better just like he did, but when i saw this article i was not only infuriated i was stunned to think that theres someone out there that is comparing a brilliant guitarist to a pop artist i just cant, i also love how most the clips are from the 1986 new haven gig.
Is Taylor Swift REALLY the new Van Halen?
my answer: no, nobody becomes the new van halen.
EDIT: Holy Jesus, thx for da likes
Well she is on the way to become the new Eddie.
Willie van het Kerkhof Iron Maiden already have a character for their covers.
honestly someone with her guitar skills dont get far
The Illuminati Guy no one can be van halen
there's only One Eddie Van Halen
Eddie van halen showed the world that anything is possible on the guitar. Taylor swift showed the world that she is can play a guitar. They can’t be really be related on how talented someone can be on a guitar.
“Taylor Swift is the new Van Halen!”
Me: *throws up in my mouth*
The First time I saw Van Halen do Eruption live in 79 ,I did`t know who he was . I was like who is this guy , Holy Shit . I was hooked . Taylor Swift , not so much .
taylor swift isnt a guitar?
latino heat no she's a person 😂
latino heat lol taylor is a guitar brand, but ive never heard one model called swift. who's taylor swift anyways?
@LukeV
Cut it out. You know damn well who Taylor Swift is. And even if you didn't, you could've either googled it or watched this video. I've been seeing this weird little trend a lot lately. Where people pretend they don't know a famous person, but make it painfully obvious that they do.
LukeV swift is a model of taylor guitar.
Jan Michael Muller really?
The first video you showed of Eddie is literally THE video that inspired me to play guitar.
🤣😄😂 Best Guitar Humor on the 'net! I needed a good laugh! Well done!
