I would say Les Paul, Hendrix, Clapton, Van Halen, and Yngwie made giant leaps in guitar progress. Many greats in between but I would say these guy fundamentally changed the way the instrument was played.
Overall, there's loads of folk that are much more technical than Eddie Van Halen, but it isn't just his technique that makes him so good. He had a unique style, was hugely influential, and was very appealing to non-guitar players, all while having great technique. There isn't that many guitarists that you can honestly say that about.
anyone who doesnt agree eddie van halen is the best guitar player is daft. even if you personally like some elses personally, skill wise, eddie tops them all.
Christ, Roth butcher's this one, at least try to sing half the lyrics

One of the top solos of all time. VH's first album is one of my favorites, but sorry, don't put EVH above Jimi. That's just stupid.

São Paulo, Brazil, jan/1983, at Ginásio Ibirapuera. The show was aired by TV Bandeirantes, and thank God someone recorded it.
That was one of the first big international concerts in Brazil (the other were Queen and The Police in 1981).
Let's hope the Mighty Van Halen show up in Brazil again! The new record is great!

BOOTLEGS FTW..
How its so easily recorded today
BACK then it was a system to get those big bulky video maker machines into concerts..
Bootlegs have been around since they made the machines sort of small..
ANYONE on YT own a VCR ???
hahahahah
Ac/DC,Motorhead,Metallica etc ..
The only way I seen those bands live was through bootleg concerts through a VCR machine..
