      He's probably going with Satch because they're friends and of a similar age. He knows very well that there's lots of people who can play Van Halen far more accurately. Of course I also wish he would hire one of them though.

      @paulhb 4 месяца назад +1

      Couldn’t agree more with the comment on his swing. Being able to maintain that feel in his rhythms from such a young age is just wild. It has to be from being brought up in a household run by a big band leader. So many VH tunes are written with a swing feel. That set these guys apart and made them a party band as well as a hard rock band. And yeah, Phil smashed this.

    Back around 1990 in Brampton Ontario, I was at a party with a basement jam of some really good working musicians. Phil, who was a friend of homeowner, walks in, straps on a guitar, steps up to the mic and blows everyone's heads off with a Stevie Wonder tune. People are looking at each other asking, "Who is this guy?" He was, and still is on another level.

    Besides the obvious fact this guys a fkn beast on guitar you can tell he’s taken away, IMO the most important and often overlooked part of Eddies playing. It’s the swing, the groove, the pushing/ pulling of the rhythm. Eddie was a master and Phil definitely has it in spades

    @jacksonmarshallkramer5087 Месяц назад

    I started playing in 85. I was 15. I was totally self taught. Never tried to play his stuff. Was too far out. After many years, I still loved VH songs, I just couldn't get into all the squeals and tapping. Hot For Teacher came out, and it 99% trick free. Just straight up gettin' it. That became the piece I learned. Was just so melodic to the song. Was almost comparable to a Neal Schon solo. His solos are songs within the song. VERY few guys can do that. This here is just like HFT, but so much more acrobatic. This is the one you'd break out if you were cutting heads with a guy and he was puttin' it to ya. Not many players could respond to that.
