Which one of these guitarists do you think is a better guitar player? Eddy Van Halen or Slash? I would actually prefer both but I want to hear your opinions.

Thank you

that's a tough choice, but I like a whole lot of Van Halen stuff so my nod would go to him. Slash seems to get his guitar hidden by whatever band he's in or created at the time. I have Slash's Snakepit album, but there isn't near as much guitar on there as I'd like to here. He's quite a talented guitar player though as I've heard him do some jazz guitar work as well.

With my typical "neither" answer, I'll say Buckethead.

But on topic, I think they're both about as good and don't have a favorite of the 2.

Eddie Van Halen for sure. I'm not a big fan of Slashie's work.

Eddie 100%. Slash is a sellout...he'll put his name on ANYTHING.

EVH is a Rock God. He pioneered two-handed tapping and created his own guitar. Did Slash create his own guitar or pioneer anything? No.

And Eddie played guitar on the original Beat It. Did Slash ever do that? Nope.

You honestly need a link just to listen to Michael Jackson's Beat It?
