Rick Beato recently interviewed two of the most celebrated up-and-coming guitarists in the world, Mateus Asato and Matteo Mancuso, on his YouTube Channel. It was only a matter of time before the name Eddie Van Halen came up.
In the clip below, the three reflect on Eddie’s impact and unique style. During the discussion they listen to the “Ice Cream Man” solo and a raw take of “Eruption”. Both Mateus and Matteo emotionally reflect on the influence of Eddie on their own playing.
Beato has honored Eddie before. Below is a video featuring Rick’s brother John, a devoted Van Halen Fan.
Beato’s recent interviews with Yngwie Malmsteen and Nuno Bettencourt also highlighted Eddie’s incredible impact. In the clip below, Malmsteen recalls hearing Van Halen for the first time.
