Eddie Van Halen's contribution to the world of rock guitar is dizzying to say the least. From his deft whammy work to his screamin' pinch harmonics all the way to his signature fretboard tapping antics [and more]--the man is a monster. While the art of tapping will be examined in full force down the line, here's a lick that incorporates a little tap action while holding a whole-step bend as heard in such monumentous VH moments as "Panama" and "You Really Got Me".

@512banana1 you gotta pluck the string with your finger not just touch it, i believe thats you problem. considering your guitar is properly adjusted.

@creakystair Indeed, Hendrix was open-minded. Apparently guitarists, like Clapton, disparaged him when he came out, calling him a flash-in-the-pan. Were they jealous, perhaps? But Jimi admired others' work, including people as varied as Django Reinhardt and country players. He was even listening to classical before he died.

@pangborn25 Oh I have, it's great stuff. Very creative, and not easy to play. If anyone says "oh Hendrix is overrated, I can play his stuff easily, and I'm 15" I just direct them to that.

Really, I'm more impressed with his rhythm playing and improv than anything else. And the way he used feedback, wah pedal work, and whammy bar dive-bomb effects. I love his licks too, and his overall sound, but that's not what impresses me most.

Great job, great lessons, and thank you for taking the time to create and post all these videos... PS: ohh what an ugly guitar..

[512banana1]

@RJW14 oh no, i mean I've recently got an electric guitar after a long time playing acoustic so i have to learn a lot. Maybe the problem is i have to use Effect pedal so that the sound will last longer, right?
