This is an isolated guitar track of Eddie's playing from the song. I can't really weigh-in, mostly because I suck at guitar. I just know I loved the video and my then girlfriend (now wife) pretty much hated it. She still gave me "the look" just now when she heard his guitar as she thought I was watching the original video!
Such an incredible player with a great ear and a sense for wild abandon. I remember the 1st time I saw VH at Gazzarri's I thought sheez... I need to take my playing in a whole different direction because I don't think I can get there from here. To this day I have total respect to the point that I refuse to cover his stuff. I simply cannot do it proper justice and I refuse to play it half-azzed.

David Gilmour, Clapton, Santana, Peter Green, Larry Carlton? Let's go!
