RIP, @EddieVanHalen, the innovative @RockHall-inducted guitar virtuoso and leader of @VanHalen—voted #1 on @GuitarWorldMagazine’s 2012 #ReadersPoll of “The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”—who said to @RollingStone in 1980, “I don’t know shit about scales or music theory. I don’t want to be seen as the fastest guitar in town, ready and willing to gun down the competition. All I know is that rock & roll guitar, like blues guitar, should be melody, speed, and taste, but more important, it should have emotion. I just want my guitar playing to make people feel something: happy, sad, even horny.” (Photo: #PaulChinn, 1984) #GetIntoIt #EddieVanHalen #VanHalen #HardRock #RockNRoll #GuitarHero #RockHallOfFame #GoneTooSoon #PhotoByPaulChinn (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGA-yyuF-f_/?igshid=1suur4jdi5spv
