Eddie Van Halen is one of the most talented muscians to ever pick up a guitar. He popularized many methods of guitar playing like two-handed tapping, natural and artificial harmonics, and tremolo picking.  Eddie's guitar sound and tone is often called the "brown sound", which many guitarists have tried to duplicate ever since.

The All Music Guide has called him "undoubtedly one of the most influential, original, and talented rock guitarists of the 20th century."
