van halen... didn't invent shit.

Sweep picking, revving, dive-bombs, pinch harmonics, and 8 finger tapping had all already been invented way before van halen ever touched a guitar. He turned his back to suggest that it was something new and secret he was doing. It was an act, and it fooled people who didn't know any better. He wasn't even the first person to turn his back on his audience! That goes to a sitar player from over 200 years ago!

I'd also like to add "Just" to my list.

Dream theather's got a lot of great technical stuff... certainly not groundbreaking by any means, and generally too technical for their own good, but some of it is mind-blowing. Especially on the Liquid Tension Albums

Parliment Funkadelic - Good to Your Earth.


I prefer the obnoxiously technical, showy stuff.

I'm not trying to copy Steve but he consistently speaks the truth.

remember guys: be just... or be dead.

Classical Gas - Mason Williams

catalyst you devil you! That IS a fine song.

ever heard John Williams do Arturias?

No, and every file I downloaded was corrupt so I ordered his ultimate collection today.

To further add to the claim that Eddie Van Halen did not invent finger tapping, Steve Hackett uses the technique on the Genesis track "Supper's Ready" off their 1972 album Foxtrot.
