Don’t get me wrong folks because I simply adored Eddie Van Halen all my life but he was not a instrumental guitarist. Eddie wasn’t meant to fill 7-9 mins of music with blah blahhh blahhhhhh. Eddie was meant to build the structure of the piece then engineer the greatest most catchy riffs to annihilate the solo area. He literally ruled this part of the kingdom! I sure will miss the guy. He sure made the world a better place when I was growing up!
Yeah, and Eddie played a Kramer. Even if some of the guitarists didn't play a Les Paul, they were all touched by Les' innovations. It doesn't matter what guitars they played.
