Eddie Van Halen Tributes

[Jak Angelescu]

I'm sure most of you know by now, but we lost one of our guitar Godfathers, Eddie Van Halen. Because of this being a great guitar community with so many people that love and respect him, I'm opening up submissions for a EVH tribute video.

There are no rules.
You don't need fancy equipment.
You can play rhythm or lead.
No duration restrictions.
ALL LEVELS OF SKILL WELCOMED AND ENCOURAGED.

This is just something I want to put together for the school and to show off on my instagram page and maybe @Salman AlKh (who runs the unofficial school IG page) can share it there as well.

Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, October 13th until I wake up on October 14th.
Please post your submission here in this thread.
Let's honor our fallen King.

Can I use an old video of mine? I don't really have time to learn a van halen song at the moment.

Alsof r.i.p. Eddie

Cool Idea! RIP to a Legend. Personally never got in Touch with His Riffs though. So no Tribute from me I guess. Don't really have the time to dig Into this right now unfortunately.

Yep that sure is fine! As long as I can get the video. It's kind of hard to extract videos from Instagram posts but I can use a screen recorder and I hope it won't screw up the sound quality!

I'm just like you. I never really got into him that much so I won't be participating but this is definitely something for people who are inspired by him

A really great way to give people an opportunity to pay Tribute to him!

 

[Alicia Willis]

Love this idea ! I might can rattle off some power chords for the big guy

 

[William B.]

Tribute means play one of his?

I will try, I've seen some tabs before, they are so difficult.

You don’t have to do a whole lot William if you want to participate. Eddie was much more than kick ass solos ! For instance I’m picking a small little section from a song I know and love that’s mostly chords and a small lick.

I call dibs on “hot for teacher”

 

[William B.]

I remember his riffs being difficult too, maybe I'm better now. Going to start tomorrow.

 

[Kat the metalhead]

Oohh I wanna join! I could do runnin with the devil. It’s been one of my favourite songs for such a long time!

I did a variation on Eruption in my Guitar Hero video. Let's just say it was inspired by Eruption. lol

 

[Salman AlKh]

He was a great person. A great guitarist too, but his spirit never dies. May God rest his soul.

I could try to have a go at eruption....I mean It's a good tapping challenge. The iconic tapping solo.

I will try
