Endlessley wanking on a fretboard denotes technical prowess. However it doesnt make it more palatable. EVH is a technically brilliant guitarist but that seems to me the antithesis of what the guitar brings to a musical venture. For all EVH's 'brilliance' they are still rarely classed as a groundbreaking rock act and regularly recieve praise through DLR's persona instead of the guitar work. If he was that good then why are Van Halen so average?
