Panama | Van Halen (cover)... Remembering Eddie by Dan van den Berg published on 2021-02-21T23:06:54Z Last week a unique relic guitar arrived to my place, a replica of a piece of rock guitar history: the Frankenstrat guitar of Eddie Van Halen. You can see the guitar in the picture here. It is the guitar of my youth, a guitar in the hands of Edward Van Halen, not only iconic in its appearance but especially in its innovative nature. Eddie had been tinkering with this guitar, made from left overs, it cost him only 150 dollars, however it contained all of Eddie’s gathered knowledge and experimenting. Recently under EVH’s own label there’s a whole striped series of his guitars being made. With the passing of Edward Van Halen last year I decided for all of the exitement and fun he gave me in my youth I’d purchase this guitar as a personal remembrance. And now holding it in my hands, what better to do than playing it to make a cover of one of his classic songs: Panama. So here is, in full appreciation of Ed’s music and playing, my humble version. -Dan Recorded by request of GuitarPhil All guitars, bass, drum programming by Dan van den Berg, February 28, 2021 Music by Van Halen, 1984 Genre Rock Comment by Konrad Spittelberg Wow!
