Eddie Van Halen should have taken guitar lessons! Anyone agree?

1. He had lessons in classical music

same with alex.

Whats wrong with his guitar playin? *puffs up chest* :)

15. I believe both of them ...

were concert pianists at a ridiculous age (11 and 13, or something).

Anyone who locks themselves in a room for 10 hours everyday for most of their lives to practise something, is going to emerge as the teacher and inventor of the next generation which Eddie certainly did (long time ago).

7. Y'all are tryin to make me leave DU!

8. No, but it would help if you listened to a little Depeche Mode..

every now and then.

9. I'll consider it

but I am not confident I'll be impressed considering your opinion of Eddy.

But I'm being silly, we are all entitled to our opinions of course.

13. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..that is some funny shit

10. One of the greats...

In an era where music was shallow and inane, the one thing you could admire was Eddie's flying fingers.

Of course, they bicker amongst themselves like teenage girls. Every time I see them interviewed, I blush with shame at liking them.

But damn, man, the guy can play the guitar.

11. He has finally started working on guitar chords!

He can play an Am fine but is struggling mightily with the
open C chord. And that F chord in the first position -
forget about it!

12. When Gary Cherrone was hired as the lead singer ...

Eddie said that if he didn't work out, he'd take up the cello.

We're waiting ....

[BigBigBear]

14. He just lifted Alan Holdsworth's technique. n/t

...

16. Have you not listened to "Respect the Wind"?

It's off the Twister Soundtrack (okay, I admit I own it.... *sigh*)

The classical training really does show....
