Shortly after recording #062, we received news that Eddie Van Halen passed after a long battle with throat cancer. This week, we celebrate the virtuoso’s groundbreaking, effortless technique on electric guitar & his massive contribution to music & guitarists everywhere. We’re joined again by Keith Grasso, who is, among many other things, the biggest EVH fan we’ve had the pleasure of knowing. It’s part history, part fan-remembrance, part listening party. You shall be missed Eddie Van Halen, thank you for changing music forever!
