I'll never forget when the first album came out and how it influenced me...thank you EVH RIP That makes 2 of us. He was a huge influence for me when I picked up the guitar. That brown sound was off the hook!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It's funny how a lot of us can remember the first time we heard him. It's a testament to how completely mind blowing he was. There are only a few guitarists that left that kind of mark with me. Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen. We've lost so many luminary musicians this year..... I sure hope 2021 gets better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc H Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Yes Eddie was off the hook. Yes his technique was influential on the way I played guitar. But the one thing that has stuck with me since the first interview s I read in guitar magazines was that Eddie purposely never played the same solo twice, never played a cover song the same as the original, And used anything and everything down to the tremolo springs to get a sound out of his guitar. Those statements alone changed my whole approach to guitar and music in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
