The Legendary Guitarist Passed Away and This is my review about 5 great guitar solos from Eddie Van Halen
Hello guys, Today I am going to talk about one of the greatest Guitarists in the world who passed away recently, <3 RIP Eddie Van Halen \m/
Today I bring 5 top solos from his different songs.
This first one is "Eruption" which performed in August 27, 1986 it was in New Haven, Connecticut. in that performance he starts picking and then suddenly he throw away the pick and start his one hand and 2 hands tapping on the fretboard and he is doing it really amazing and the important thing is that he is enjoying it and we can see the emotions in his guitar's sound and also in his feelings by his reactions, the guitar and Eddie were communicating.
The second one if from a concert with Michael Jackson, It is the famous song "Beat It" with its catchy tune and all parts of it make you never forget those notes! :D I can even hear the solo right now before I hit the play button, the gig was originally offered to The Who's Pete Townshend but was unable to do it so he recommended Van Halen. and when they asked Van Halen to do it, He did some changes to MJ's original song and he also did it for free, later when MJ heard the song he was surprised and loved what Eddie had done to that music. It was effect of a Rock musician in a Pop song.
The third solo was performed in August 19 1995 and it was a concert in Toronto, Ontario, it is called Cathedral, an amazing and creative solo which it was totally different than his previous works with new techniques.
The Fourth solo was performed in March 30, 2015 and it was in a Jimmy Kimmel's show. the song is called "Hot for Teacher" it is one of the old Classics from 1984 and in 1995 Eddie Van Halen said to Guitar World : “’Hot for Teacher’ is beyond any boogie I’ve ever heard,”. in this performance even if he was old but he was performing the solo just like how he was in his youth age.
The Fifth solo is from may 29, 1983 one of the old live performances of Eddie, it was performed in US Festival Glen Helen Regional Park, California. He starts this solo while running from a side of the scene to another side and sliding on the floor while he makes a crazy and wild sound from his guitar and when he stands up he starts performing a great rhythmic tapping solo. Listen and Enjoy!
