But at least it was his own style, not a blatant rip off of anyone else! Legions copied his finger-tapping, deep-dive-wammy-bar and harmonics styles over the next 10 years.

The one solo from Eddie Van Halen that always sticks in my mind is "Hear About It Later" from "Fair Warning", arguably their heaviest album with every track a winner.

I always felt it EVH copied to much from things Jeff Beck did a decade earlier.
Though EVH put a nice twist on it, JB was doing all of that and more long before EVH was a gleem in daddy's eye..

Of course, my idea of quick pickin would be the early Sweep pickers like Chet Atkins.

Cmon, Beck can't really be compared to EVH. Different players. Eddie will be the first to admit he listened to everyone and copied them note for note, but he put a whole new twist on rock guitar that was his own. I guess I am biased, I've been a VH fan since their first album in '78, mainly because of Eddie. Other faves are Jimmy Page and Steve Vai, to name a couple.

Eddies worst Solo? The self titled track of the "Seventh Seal" album. Probably the first time a VH track did not include at least a 16 bar solo. I think Eddie was having alcohol problems at the time.
