Hey waters here from the waters wake-up call had a blast with our tunes day topic this morning greatest guitar player of all time and by the way carry from Dysart.
I think I know yours.
You do?
Do I?
Eddie Van Halen?
Yes.
What is your favorite Eddie Van Halen thing of all time?
316.
That must be a Van Hagar song.
No.
It
isn't?
It might have been.
It's on there for Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album.
Carnal Knowledge album.
Okay.
I know the David Lee Roth albums, but I don't know the Van Hagar albums quite as well, so I don't know 316.
Really?
You know the story behind
it.
I don't, tell me.
That's Wolfie's, which is Eddie's
son.
Wolfgang, yes, yeah.
That was the song that Eddie wrote for him, and didn't name it until he was
born, so that's why he called it 316.
See, I learned something.
Did you have to learn something new every day?
You do!
You do!
I'm not often schooled about music, but when I am, I appreciate
it.
I'm glad I could share my knowledge.
I'm really enjoying this.
show, although I'm disgusted by the Rolling Stone level.
Me too.
I mean, I've never been satisfied with a list, but to have Clapton at number 35
and... Yeah, that's gotta be on the top five.
Yeah.
There are a lot of other things too, but that's the big one.
Yeah.
He's known as Slow Hand.
I think the people at Rolling Stone are known as Slow Head.
in the brain department.
Okay, anyway, go
ahead.
Yeah.
You know who I'm talking about.
Well,
of course, Boston.
I almost
hate him because he was so smart and so talented, producing that first album all by himself.
Just an overly smart guy graduated from MIT and a rock
star.
five, six times before he got the one he wanted in his backyard.
Hey, I got a little bit of trivia.
You know who taught Eddie Van Halen how to play guitar?
Who?
Glenn Campbell.
He did?
Is there a documentary about, uh, uh, Glenn Campbell?
Uh... Eddie Van Halen kept begging him and begging him to teach him how to play chords and, uh...
Yeah.
I've never heard that story.
Glenn Campbell was a... Check it out, research.
I will.
I'm not doubting ya.
Um... But no, I see here, because of course I googled it as I was talking to ya, and Eddie Van Halen sought Glenn out for...
guitar lessons.
And again, I didn't doubt you.
I mean, Glenn Campbell was just an amazing guitar player.
Oh, he was one of the best studio guitar players before he made it real big and all that.
Yeah, he played on a lot of the Beach Boys hits and a lot of those records back in the 60s.
And then he had hits like Rhinestone Cowboy and people didn't realize what kind of a guitar player he was.
Yeah, Lineman and all.
Yeah, he was actually pretty good.
Yeah, you know
I had some buttons pushed that I had forgot to un-push and Everything went to hell in a handbasket man
That's
October.
What are you?
What are you nuts that that'd be a heck of a joke?
That's
what I thought.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
So what's happening to him, man?
Well, I was thinking this big question.
You have guitar players.
Yes.
And of course, the number one is Jimmy Hendrix.
I mean, that's a no brainer.
It really is.
It really is.
Whether you're a fan of Hendrix or not, you can deny the stuff that he did.
People still don't know how he was doing what he did.
I
agree.
See, that's a no brainer.
To me, though.
Yeah.
Jimmy Page.
Yeah.
To me, who was from Led Zeppelin was probably, that's mine.
He's
so versatile.
He can play the greatest hard rock riff.
He can play great solos.
He can play great acoustic.
I mean, nobody plays acoustic like Jimmy Page.
Yeah, he can really do it all.
He's pretty amazing.
He's my favorite too, by the way.
Oh my gosh, we're on the same web page.
Oh, excuse me for saying that.
Same
web page?
Boy, you are totally 21st century, man.
You gotta believe it, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Eventually, after you blew my mind with all them sounds in my ear this morning, I thought I was gonna blow a gasket.
That's the last thing I would want you to do is blow your gasket.
I might
pay you this morning.
Hey, I'm doing pretty good.
How are you?
I
like Carlos Santana.
Oh, Carlos Santana.
Yeah, he's got a style all his... When he starts playing, even if you don't know the song, if you hear the guitar, you know it's Carlos Santana.
What do you do?
You do.
You can dance
to it.
Yeah, yeah, something like Oye Comova, something like that.
I mean, it's got a good little rhythm to it.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
You know, let me let me find out where where he comes in on the list.
I know he's right.
He's number 11.
So pretty good, pretty good.
Well, you're number one on my list.
Well, yes, yes.
Of course.
And like I say, I it really only matters what Eastern Iowa is saying.
I'm just telling you where he lands.
on this Rolling Stone list.
They're stone, they don't know.
Yeah, they're rolling in their stone.
Stone while rolling.
Yeah, usually you're stoned after rolling, but that's another story.
You don't want anything.
Right.
