Gus G. Pays Tribute to Eddie Van Halen
12月 5, 2020

In a new video entry posted on his YouTube channel, guitarist Gus G. paid tribute to Eddie Van Halen, showcasing the favorite technique he borrowed from the late guitarist.
“He did so much for the guitar,” said Gus G. “From introducing us to the modern hard rock and heavy metal guitar, to the Super Strat and the way he used whammy bar and tapping techniques. There’s no way you’re playing guitar and not using some stuff he popularized.”
Gus G. played through a few iconic Van Halen riffs on his Jackson Pro Series Signature Star before diving into the playing technique Eddie used on “Don’t Tell Me (What Love Can Do)”off 1995 Van Halen album Balance.
“I remember seeing the music video on MTV and thought, ‘Whoa! What is that, is that a distorted cello?’” said Gus G. “And you see Eddie plucking the low E-string. I was blown away. It was a whole new way to play riffs!”
