Tolinski nails it..besides some blues based Clapton type pentatonic and Blackmore vibrato stuff...Ed did basically invent a new way to approach the instrument in all facets. Nice analogy on Beat It to Coltrane. Love it
Ed's rhythm guitar ideas on Beautiful Girls are ASTONISHING......Just listen carefully to the delightfully varied ideas he puts into every nook and cranny without even missing a BEAT ....His isolated guitar on videos on youtube are fascinating studies...Same with Hang Em High....He threw in everything bar the kitchen sink....lol
Totally! That whole end of Beautiful Girls must have 25 different ideas ... all cool!
His rhythm was beyond incredible. Such iconic riffs. You can go from the opening riff of Mean Streets (not the tapping) or I’m The One…both devastating…to the composition of songs line Seventh Seal years later.
Hah! I’ll bust Chris and point out that “Girl Gone Bad” had no whammy bar use on it at all. It was all done on the vintage ‘58 Flying V!
OMG Carl Stalling gets love Brad is the man
All the photos of Frankenstein and the rig look to be from the MET Exhibit “Play It Loud” that was in NY I think in 2018. I was lucky enough to go to that and it was Disney for musicians. There were guitars and instruments on display from just about every music icon in history. Seeing Frankenstein up close within inches behind a glass case was surreal. Must have stood there for a good hour looking at every inch of that thing. In person it looks like a guitar that wasn’t even playable. Lol. The other guitar that floored me was SRVs strat. It was beat up and you could see the miles of shoes, sweat and smoke that soaked into that guitar. Hope they bring that exhibit back one day. Amazing
YES,,,ED'S SOUND came very largely from his hands on the strings before the jackplug socket or even the pickup.....For evidence of this listen to SPANISH FLY where his fingers touch the strings UNAMPLIFIED & hear the nuances of articulation that were SO HIM coming thru without amplification. Others playing thru his guitar & amp couldn't replicate it....Remember Ted Nugent with Rudy Leiren at a 1978 EVH soundcheck .
Okay, this is my new favorite one! LOL Awesome, Jeff! Can't wait for part two and to get this book!
Awesome dudes! what an amazing book!
Thanks Johnny!
@@FinalResonanceTV Anytime! 😎🎸👍
Eddie was a SWING MAN! He played SWING music. IMHO.
Ed always used to say he could express more through his guitar than with mere words. Not being able to speak English at first must have been terrible for him...I agree that people who don't do too well socially early on become introverted creators who express themselves through their instrument...They have difficulty trusting people .....I was exactly the same as a lifelong guitar player....The long hours of steaming up the windows practicing all night til dawn....For me I was separate from others not because I didn't speak the language but because I suffered from epilepsy & I was prevented from doing things kids my age were all doing...Like swimming, riding bikes in traffic, climbing trees etc....
Totally me too man! Guitar was a way to bridge my socially awkward skills.I saw this in Ed. In one way it drew me to him in another way I hurt for him, cause like you I truly understood that part of him.
You guys talked about what pick Ed used. I thought he used metal picks, at least at some point because he attributed his tongue cancer to his holding the metal pick in his mouth caused by electromagnetism or something along those lines. You can hear the sound of his metal pick scraping the strings on man recordings.
Id say for song structure and playability.off Diver down "hang em'high."
Thanks for sharing this great conversation! However, I would like to comment on the statement by Mr. Tolinski where he says Eddie Van Halen is more like Buddy Guy than Yngwie Malmsteen. I agreed with everything you guys have said except for this statement. Yngwie clearly plays more "Hendrix" licks and is influenced by him, which in turn, provides the Buddy Guy influence. Eddie is def not more like Buddy Guy than Yngwie. I say this as I can play just like Yngwie, Hendrix, and Van Halen, believe it or not folks! Perhaps better than the cover bands that your used to seeing that cover these guitarists I just mentioned. Every player has different technique and I've spent a good amount of time in my life trying to get my Blackmore licks down, I guess u would say. Also, I would like to point out that Yngwie was very much influenced by Eddie's playing, especially the finger=tapping, dive bombs, and harmonic dive-bombs, etc. I used to live in Pasadena for two years, very nice place! I met Captain Beefheart's last drummer at Poo Bah records in Pasadena, for christsakes! Right on guys, thanks again for sharing your insight and passion for Eddie! Rock on! \m/
Yeah that was a bit tongue and cheek of a comment
12:19 but. I think Ted Templeman was the Brown Sound! They never had that sound after Ted. Just think about it: why F album is most classic VH sound of VanHagar era?
Big fan from Iran
Outa love again Solo needs love
Girlgonebad,,,,,,eruption....can argue with that answer.
Dude sounding pretty familiar for an unauthorized biography. Not a nickle.
