Breaking News about Eddie Van Halen:

Edward Lodewijk "Eddie" Van Halen (born January 26, 1955), is an Dutch-American rock guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer of Dutch descent, most famous as the lead guitarist and co-founder of the hard rock band Van Halen. Van Halen is widely known for his shredding and rapid guitar play and high frequency feedback. Van Halen's approach to the guitar involves several distinctive components including the innovative use of two-handed tapping, natural and artificial harmonics, vibrato, and tremolo picking, combined with a melodic approach which is often neo-classical in nature. Although he didn't invent the technique of tapping, Van Halen is widely considered one of the guitarists who popularised it in rock music of the 1980s, a technique he initially attempted to conceal by turning his back to the audience during Van Halen concerts.
