Lightening in a bottle swing

This is incomprehensible.

Only Eddie could make a delicious song that doubles as a guitar clinic. \m/

A perfect example of playing for the song, as opposed to the aimless wankery you heard a lot of other guitar players do during their solos.

When I was a kid, I thought of I'm the One as a filler song. About 20 years ago, I got on a months long Van Halen kick and listened to each song closely. At certain points of most or their songs, it's kinda hard to hear exactly what Ed is doing. I started to hear stuff in I'm the One that I never heard before. Then came TH-cam with isolated guitar tracks. Ed's guitar, by itself, is the greatest guitar solo ever. I'm the One is a top 5 Van Halen song for me now.

he is dancing with tone and rhythm with guitar

I love you JIMI... but, roll over... cause EDDIE... took over ! *..RIP.. Jimi & Eddie !* 😉🤘

They opened for Black Sabbath in 78 79 or something. Can you imagine how much they obfuscated them.

No shit can’t ever be beat!

So nice to hear this iso track yet so sad, RIP Eddie, you are so missed!

Van Alien

Genius

Just a great insight to how unique his approach was . Going over this lead just shows one of the many examples of how he never followed the rules of traditional theory , He made his own .

It’ll never happen again…

Fuck!!! Kicked my ass!! Eddie forever! Miss you love you man!🤠

Rhoads wsy better but not until he had his big break with Ozzy THEN TOP TIER TOP NOTCH MASTER OF GUITAR BRUCE LEE TO FIGHTER RHOADS TO GUITARIST 😂

This track and Hot For Teacher are basically ZZ Top sped up!! Tell me Bottoms Up doesn't sound like a tribute to ZZ Top. Eddie was a big fan of theirs.

amazing...one of a kind

Ed was a genius. ive heard this song a million times, but that axe is so badass. nice!

The genius of this (then) very young man! May you rest in peace Eddie and have that brown sound at your fingertips for eternity.

EVH 1# 🎸

Genius!

Eddie changed everything.

Still tear up 😢

Amazing. That swing. That sound. Awesome 👏 Never be another. RIP Ed.

I always try to fill the dead air with the "bup budda, shoo bee doo wahs" to see how close I can get to Eddie coming back in. 😁

GOAT

I've always maintained that "I'm The One" is Eddie's most difficult riff to master. His right wrist had a swing to that I've never heard another guitar player duplicate. I can't even get my brain to think like that.

Good Lord…🤌🤌

King Edward !!

Not just that blistering, fresh style of playing, but his sound. The sound many of us have chased for years. A late 60's Marshall JMP SL is the main ingredient. Why kids today don't use this amp setup is beyond me.

This man expired me to learn how to play guitar.We miss you Eddie🎸

Utterly outstanding!!! 40 years ago any day soon since I saw them live in Stockholm, Sweden: 25 Aug 1984 🙂

RIP EVH the GOAT.

uno de los mejores del mundo

Favorite Van Halen song

His shredding makes you dance. Just badass...

On top of everything, that's not a floyd, it's just a strat bridge, no locking nut.

Trying to learn this solo, so this video is a god send! Thank you 😊

Eddie definitely used the whole guitar, and it was probably pretty exhausted

sounds like one take? wow

Van Halen or Van Hagar? Just listen to this, 'nuff said.

Ahh,, I needed that!

Just a great artist

I never liked the hard pan of the guitar. Ted should have put in both speakers. I know Eddie hated it. But history was made ....all Ed though

HOLY SHIT

YUP

Pickslides galore

EVH will always be a legend!

Yeah some of those licks are sick even today
