there is so much more to guitar than speed and accuracy. that's why van halen does nothing for me. his style of guitar is profeicient, but it's like masterbating. the only reason he is doing it is because he can. jimi hendrix played guitar the way it is meant to be played, from the heart. every note he let out was honest. he owned it and did with it what he liked. i appreciate an honest love of music and the ability to pour yourself into every riff you play. he was a musical genius. van halen just plays the same double taps that every hair band has used. he just does it a little faster.
