Hey, have you seen that clickbait, I mean that article that compares Taylor Swift to Eddie
Van Halen saying that Taylor Swift is just like Eddie Van Halen because she's inspiring a generation
of kids to pick up the guitar just like Eddie Van Halen did?
Now obviously if you don't have that
context it can be pretty enraging as a guitar player to hear those two names mentioned in the
same sentence, but to go further I figured I would compare a couple clips of these two musicians
playing and kind of see if indeed Taylor Swift could be the new Eddie Van Halen.
Let's find out.
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Wait, wait, was she playing that or_
oh she's holding a guitar, that's all that [E] matters. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ [C] Oh yeah, he is definitely playing that.
What the hell was that?
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ All right, some [D#] nice strumming there, but she's a pop star, she's holding a guitar,
that's cool.
What about Eddie?
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ Oh, _ _ _ [F]
that was _ [C#] unreal. _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ That kind of just made me angry.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] God, I wish I was in that crowd. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [F#] So that's like the end of the show,
she's just standing there with a sparkly guitar.
_ How would Eddie end a show [D#] I wonder? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [N] _ Is that her retreating?
_ Who walks off the stage while their band is still playing?
That's so weird.
Okay, so my final thoughts on this.
Obviously I'm joking, this is a response to a clickbait article
and I have my own clickbait title.
It's all in good fun, but in all seriousness there's a big
difference between a pop star making people want to pick up the guitar just because they're popular
and somebody inspiring you to want to play the guitar, which I think is what Van Halen did.
So I
get the sentiment, but _ unfortunately I'm gonna have to disagree with the whole Taylor Swift,
Eddie Van Halen thing.
I appreciate Taylor Swift, I have nothing against the [B] woman. _
[A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ Okay, maybe [E] she should delete that stage move from her arsenal.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed
this video _ and I'll see you next time.
Until then, keep shredding!
