@hiawatha444 as far as playing style, and and talent in that aspect your right. And the only thing in my mind that puts Hendrix ahead of Ed, is the fact that he made a lot of pedals that we're using today. Wah pedal, delay, and i'm sure there's a few more. That's the only reason he's a head in my mind
yea i think everyone has invented their own style of playing i mean some people before eddie finger tapped..and look at yngwie....he's just gosh...id like to see eddi play that neo-classical shit without stopping. its all a style and a way of playing...some guitarist can play stuff and others cant'....steve vai is just plain gifted and could rape anybody at guitar..i mean....he sits there and blows on the strings and they play a song...wtf..lol
I don't care who else is a "great" guitar player, Ed is the greatest. He doesn't just play.......he feels it...he lives it. The greatest guitar PERFORMER of all time. *For me, the goosebumps just won't stop from 8:15 - 9:29 on this clip.
@Biggestchargersfan21 I would say that when we talk about skills Steve Vai is better than EVH but I think EVH has inspired more guitarists. He has started the new playing style that many latter-day guitarists have used. Same thing with Jimi Hendrix. He has inspired a lot of guitarists and his playing style was something new. Many guitarists mention EVH or Hendrix as their influences. Without Jimi or EVH there wouldn't be Steve Vai or other good guitarists.
did you know eddie van halen left this guitar with dimebag darrel when he died?..... that just makes eddie even better i think.... giving up his prized possesion to a guitarist he admired!
If you dis like this then you shouldn't be alive because that is the best shit in the world. EDDIE IS FUCKING GOD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@happycreeeper just a pinch harmonic on the g string on either the 3rd or 4th fret. Depending on your tuning.

I will never forget the first time I saw/heard this.... The Lord of the Strings himself...
Edward Lodewijk Van Halen... _THE_ reason I play guitar. I owe this man a debt I can never repay.
Simply said, God, is Ed... ;)
