Eddie Van Halen has died
Never knew until recently, that the amazing guitar solo on Michael Jacksons Beat it was played by him.I can't find any transcripts, but in an interview on the Howard Stern show, van Halen said (if I remember correctly) that the infamous knocking at the beginning of his solo was him knocking on his guitar, like a professional who is giving his workhorse a friendly tap before the race - and that he was amazed Michael and Quincy left it in.
