Or you could "shuffle off to" it & "sit by the lake and watch the world go by."

I believe Django Reinhardt invented it.

 

It's just a technique - hell, I use it a lot, just because I lack the dexterity and reach on the fretboard I need.  Eddie Van Halen's innovation was to integrate it lyrically into his playing, not just as a party trick.

I don't believe we'll ever know who "invented" it, Reinhardt definitely did a form of it acoustically, but it's a whole different thing on an electric guitar. I'm sure there are examples of someone doing something similar before him too. 

 

It just annoys me when Eddie V. is anointed the creator when years earlier someone else was doing it frequently in albums that sold very well, and in concerts performed throughout Europe and North America. 

 

I get it that they are 2 vastly different styles of music (your basic early Genesis fan is probably not that into Van Halen and vice versa) and I can appreciate that Eddie did wonderful things with the technique, but it's much easier to integrate it when you basically are the band, you are its only frontman, and that's your schtick. Hacket was the last member to join Genesis and always had to struggle to get his musical ideas accepted. To imply he didn't integrate the technique lyrically into his work shows me you haven't heard much of his music, and to infer he used it as a party trick shows that you don't know much about him as an artist either.

Yes, but... can you play a 17 string bass? 😆

I can't even play a regular bass.

 

Still not quite as insane as Steve Vai's Hydra.

This video has made me realize two things:

 

1) I know the guitar part to this song perfectly.  I know all the hand positions, all the fingerings, all the harmonics perfectly, just as Eddie plays them.

 

2) I still can't play this damn song for shit.

Ed Van Halen is your guitar hero?

I can't say that.  I'm more blues-rock; he's heavily classically influenced.  

 

I'd say he's one of several influences, though.  In no particular order...Van Halen, Scholz, Schon (and Santana, by extension), Satriani.   And Page and Clapton, of course.
