Eddie Van Halen broke all the rules, just like Jimi Hendrix did back in the day. He was literally a trail blazer in every aspect of the guitar. He had a sound unlike anyone before him. I can honestly say that he was one of the reasons I picked up the guitar myself. I spent my entire Summer back in 2007 listening to all of the Van Halen albums over and over again and trying to learn his riffs. We lost one of the best to ever pick it up. Rock music was changed because of his sound. Rest easy, Eddie! We will keep the torch lit! https://www.instagram.com/p/CGC6VqVHV_i/?igshid=ftb8afrhjb
