Sadly my guitar hero, the legend, Eddie Van Halen died last week. As a massive fan of his guitar playing and song writing from a very early age, his music was very influential in my formative years as a musician.
So as a tribute to the master i decided to make this little tribute to him. This is one of my favourite Van Halen songs, Humans Being.
From the film soundtrack to #Twister this song is full of angst, rock and amazing musicianship from all the Van Halen guys. The angst may be due to the fact that the line up as it was at the time was coming to a messy end and would soon see Sammy Hagar out and David Lee Roth back in for the best of record that follwed shortly after this single.
I play all instruments on this video. You will see my trusty black #MusicMan Axis which did all the recording duties. Making and appearance is my EVH #Wolfgang. Drum samples are from Steven Slate Digital SSD played on my electric Roland Kit. Guitars are processed through Native Guitar Rig 5 and recorded in Logic.
All video was shot on GoPro Hero 8 and edited in Final Cut Pro X
Of course I don't claim to own any of this music and is it simply a tribute to a hero - Mr Edward Lodewijk Van Halen and of course, Alex, Mikey and Sammy all of which are awesome at what they bring to the table!
