Your Guitarist Name: Eddie Van Halen

This is My essay

Eddie Van Halen was not a solo guitarist he was in a band that I think was named after him the band was called Van Halen the type of music that he played was heavy metal. Heavy metal is basically like a type of rock so it is in the rock family. This type of rock is very aggressive and is more amplified than rock and roll and in my opinion it is the type of music that will make your ears bleed. So that is the type of music that he plays and lets talk about his life now.

=== So Eddie Van Halen was born in the Netherlands in 1955. When he was a child there neighbor taught him how to play the piano and then he just started to platy the guitar from there because they are almost the same thing. then he just started to play guitar at public events. When he was older he got into a band and then they became huge and then he was rich and famous during his carer him and his band were able to make a lot of no. 1 albums such as little guitars and jumping. When he was about to end he invented the whammy bar and then other guitar companies decided that they wanted that on there guitars so he made more money off of that. Then when he finally retired he made it into the rock and roll hall of fame and is considered one of the best guitar players in the world. ===

==== Van Halen when he was a kid was very influenced by the blues and rock when he was a kid and an old guy who taught him how to play piano which made him him want to play the guitar. Thanks older gentlemen for bringing good music to the world. ====

During his career he put out a lot of NO. 1 albums such as little guitars and jumping.I think that the old man who taught him how to play guitar would have to be an influence. SO those are what he got influenced buy. so lets talk about his legacy.

=SO Eddie Van Halen was a very successful person he invented the whammy bar that many guitar companies bought the right to put that on there guitars. He also set a new precedent in the rock rock and roll family. He also might be arguably the best guitarist in the world. He has sold allot of top albums.
