Kurzbeschreibung
From 1978, when the first Van Halen album caught the public imagination, Eddie Van Halen has been at the forefront of electric guitar playing. Since then he has had vast influence on rock in general, and metal in particular. Even pop fans have come to know his sound, through his famous solo on Michael Jackson's Beat It. And all this from a man who started off intending to be a drummer. Van Halen: Fretmaster looks at Eddie Van Halen's musical life and legacy, from high school in Pasadena, California, to the present day. It begins with a biographical account of Eddie Van Halen, the tradition he came from and his importance for a generation of musicians. It moves on to a detailed account of his most significant recorded work, both with his band and as a guest artist, with comments from younger artists who are happy to acknowledge the debt they owe to the guitarist. Wherever possible Van Halen's own comments provide further elucidation. The second half of the book includes a detailed analysis of Van Halen's techniques, for those who want to unlock the secrets of how to play "just like Eddie", followed by full transcriptions of six tracks, preceded in each case by specific notes on how to bring the music to life. The original recordings of the showcased tracks will be included on the CD that comes with the book. The last section details the guitars, pedals and amplifiers set-ups that Eddie Van Halen has used on stage and on record over the years.

Very disappointed
12. September 2005
Format:Spiralbindung
This book was a huge disappointment. I purchased the book based upon its description but it does not deliver what it promises. The author trashes the Roth era van halen at every opportunity while piling heaps of praise on Hagar. You would think he was writing a book about Hagar. There are a couple of interesting photos, but no new information for anyone that has followed van halen for any length of time. The cd of how to play like van halen is a complete joke. First of all, the tone stinks and does not sound like van halen of any era. Second, the riffs and licks are not challenging and certainly won't give you much insight into how to play like van halen. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and this is one of the worst products I have ever wasted my money on. For anyone seriously trying to get a grasp on how to sound like Eddie I would recommend Curt Mitchell's dvds on Van Halen.

A complete joke
6. Februar 2006
Format:Spiralbindung
The word extensive shouldn't be used to describe it and it's as bad as everyone's saying. The only thing worse than the book was the press release Backbeat Books put out. False advertising to the enth degree. They said Eddie would be telling his story in his own words by recounting each step of the band's career. That was a grotesque lie. Eddie was in no way involved in the making of this book and neither was anyone else in the band. Eddie's own words were nothing more than a few ancient quotes cut and pasted into the book. They said the book pours over Eddie's style with expert detail. Another lie. The lessons if you can even call them that are sad to the point of being hysterical. They didn't even include the tablature for any Van Halen songs! The lessons are some hamhanded attempt at copping Eddie's style that fall well short. The history if you can even call it that is more a discography masquerading as a history. They said the book included quotes from all the different guitar players Eddie influenced. Another lie. There's one or two quotes from Leslie West and no one else. I could go on and on but I don't care to. You get the point. They even messed up Eddie's birthday. He was born in 1955 not 1957. If you need a good Van Halen book pick up the VH Encyclopedia by CJ Chilvers or the recently released Van Halen 101 by Abel Sanchez. The knowledge those two men have about VH is a million times stronger than that of anyone involved in this pathetic attempt to cash in on the Van Halen name. By a country mile. Dome and his crew couldn't carry Chilvers or Sanchez jock.

Disappointing rehash
28. August 2005
Format:Spiralbindung
Unfortunately failed to live up to hype. I assumed by the title that this would provide new 'inside information' direct from Edward himself. Unfortunately it is a complete rehash of the same old stuff we've seen before, but presented in a almost negative critical disapproval at VH's failure to live up to the excellence of the first LP, and sour grapes because they didn't tour Europe enough. As for learning about Edward's guitar playing technique; I learnt much more from Curt Mitchell's excellent Guitar Method DVD. I'll be putting this book on Ebay today.
