Little guitar solo. What do you think?

[thirdlegstump]

Besides, what does Eddie know about soloing? 😀

..Thank god. I never like Eddie.

 

[thirdlegstump]

I did hear some EVH influences in that solo, though. That general style of playing was pioneered by Eddie.

What the hell are you talking about? Just because I did a little tap dance thing doesn't mean it was Eddie commanding my fingers 😛;

Tuning?
How did you record it? I'm having difficulties using any other method beside the 'ol microphone in front of the amp.

Eddie is nowhere in my top ten fav guitar players, heck, probably not my top 100 - however, give the man his due - he changed guitar playing - how many people have done that?

 

[thirdlegstump]

Tuning?

standard E

I record direct since I live in an apartment.
Guitar->Hughes & Kettner Tubeman->Computer

Didn't say he was. I didn't say you were playing like him, either. Just that style was pioneered by him, therefore your solo, whether directly or indirectly was influenced by EVH.

Everyone who plays like that today does so because Edward popularized that style.

Just like anyone who plays the blues owes some props to the old blues guitarists, even if they don't actually listen the their music.

And Eddie is the king, BTW.

Har, that's what I thought when I read that, too. I've never heard anyone call Satriani "Satchmo".....just Satch.
Satchmo is Mr. Armstrong.

I like it. Ain't perfect, but like Mr. Van Halen says, "you need a little slop". Stuff that's recorded today on Pro Tools is unnaturally tight, way tighter than could ever be duplicated live.

That's why I love older stuff like this. (or older sounding)

That may be true for a lot of musicians, but not all.........

Besides, what does Eddie know about soloing? 😀

Not much, that damn amateur. 😉

Tapping existed before EVH. EVH just took it to another level and brought it into the mainstream.

Too many to list although mainly Bowie, Yngwie and a few friends. Setup is real simple. Guitar->Guitar Preamp->DAW PC.

Actually Uli Jon Roth was king but not many knew him. He was before Eddie and can still run circles around him as with thousands of others including a few friends of mine.

EVH is more about tone and technique then chops. Thus tehnically speaking, there are hoardes of guitarists whom I feel are better then him in many ways. I prefer a pure musician like Tony MacAlpine over EVH, but heh, that's just me.

Um, no he wasn't "before Eddie". They are one year apart in age.

The Scorpions had a record deal before Van Halen did, but nobody knew who they were back then, and still didn't when Van Halen hit the scene.

I'm not cracking on Roth by any means, but if nobody has heard you, you aren't influencing anyone.

And as far as "running circles around Eddie"....sure, if you mean just in sheer speed or technical ability. If all you are concerned with is masturbating up and down the fretboard as fast as you possibly can, that's fine....there are certainly plenty of folks who can do that faster than Eddie.
But who has ever heard of them? Why aren't they considered as good as Eddie?
Because there is more to music than simply blazing through a bunch of notes.
That's why nobody likes Malmsteen, except hardcore guitar players.
Plus, why were all those guitarists playing fast like that? Because of Eddie.

Look at who influenced folks the most, and you can't find anyone since 1978 that has changed rock guitar more than Edward Van Halen.

You don't have to like Van Halen music, but you cannot deny his influence.

And I've heard a couple of tracks you've put up here, and both sounded good. You should record a whole song.

Bah. There were PLENTY of RIPPIN players before Eddie not including classical players. I don't understand your fixation on Eddie although sure, he has influenced quite a few players but he certainly wasn't the first. To tell you the truth, I have never tried to learn any of his sh*t nor do I have an ounce of influence from him although I can certainly copy him if I choose to as he was never all that of a crazy tech player anyway. Lastly I'm a guitar wanker, not an 'artist,' musician or a songwriter : )

Chops being the broad term for technical skill, whereas technique being style. A guitarist can have a good technique, yet could be lacking chops. That's just how I think of it, and I've been playing on and off for 20 plus yrs.

Sure there were....and who ever heard of them? Name one of them who put out anything as genre-changing as "Eruption".

Again, there might have been hundreds of guys who could have played Eruption or something even crazier but the point is, NOBODY DID. At least, nobody back then had heard of anybody who did.
It's easy to look at what Eddie did and go back and find lots of obscure players who might have been more technically proficient.
I mean really, how many barroom cover band players could play rings around Chuck Berry.....but who's ever heard of them?
I'm sure after listening to you, that you could go back in time and make Jimi Hendrix look like an amateur. But when Hendrix was hot, nobody was playing like that. He was a pioneer. So was Jimmy Page, who is a very sloppy guitarist, but whose influence runs very deep.
Same with Eddie, except he most certainly does have the chops. Maybe he isn't as fast as Michael Angelo (who at one time, was considered the fastest player ever, don't know if anyone has beaten him since), but still, Eddie is the one who popularized fast playing, and he gets the credit for it just like Page and Hendrix got credit for what they did.

 

[thirdlegstump]

Dude you don't have to have a heart attack over this you know? Fine. Eddie is the man and everyone who tapped or even thought of using his non-fretting hand to fret a note was influenced directly or indirectly by Eddie. He's got chops and the most profound style ever, and has pushed the envelope for a whole new generation of guitarists. Furthermore, Eddie this, Eddie that.

Yup, he's got speed for sure, however It was pretty much his tone then anything else. Even over his tapping prowess. If I recall correctly, his label wanted to put Eruption on the album when Eddie was using the song stricktly as a warmup.

 

[Nutdotnet]

I haven't listened to it but if you're talking about all these "faults" with your "attack" etc...etc...then you must not be a "rocker". Not that that's a bad thing, but playing rock isn't about being perfect, it's about playing what you feel. I think rock playing is more of an emotion then if you're "technically" good. Of course, it also has to sound pleasing.

That being said, what kind of music are you playing? I would listen but I'm @ work. 🙂

Oh, what kind of guitar?
