Guitarist
Eddie Van Halen
Two-handed tapping was not new when he did it, and after Eruption in 1978 every guitarist had to reckon with it. He built his own guitars out of parts.
Edward Lodewijk Van Halen was an American musician and songwriter. He was the guitarist, keyboardist, backing vocalist, and one of the primary songwriters of the rock band Van Halen, which he founded with his brother Alex Van Halen in 1972. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists in rock history.
