How the Late Rock God Eddie Van Halen Hacked His Guitar

The legend, who passed away today, didn't just transform the guitar forever—he even patented his game-changing innovations. Here's how he redefined rock and roll, in his own words.

This has to be the greatest guitar track ever laid down to tape. No overdubs, punch ins, or pro tools, and kept it in tune with a standard Fender tremolo, before the Floyd Rose was invented.

Edward was always worshiped for his solos, but that rhythm is impeccable on this track. Trying to keep that triplet swing feel going at 120 BPM on the A string with fretted notes interspersed is incredibly difficult. And he made it look easy jumping around and shit LOL. And you know if you listened to this isolated track, you sat there and sang "bop ba dop shoobe do wah" trying to time the reentrance of the music LOL
