Excellent work Dan. You captured the essence of Eddie's playing wonderfully.

Amazing work, Dan. Wonderful performance. 🎶😊

Great licks, oustanding soloing, Eddie would be proud!!! :)

My mind can't even imagine the amount of technique and years of devoted practice this performance entails, not to mention the compositional skill, well, I just did:)

What a lovely guitar solo. The guitar sound is perfect.

what awesome control and understanding you have Dan

Frankie... 

New! Check the video playthrough on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rZOjLSHj92s

“Frankie” was the name Eddie Van Halen gave his guitar, a cross pollination of a Gibson Les Paul and a Fender Stratocaster, that he assembled himself from different parts for a total sum of of only 150 dollars. A Frankenstein Guitar so to speak, made from a left over second rate body and many different parts: the Frankenstrat. 

The Frankenstrat was Van Halen's attempt to combine the sound of a classic Gibson guitar with the physical attributes and tremolo bar functionality of a Fender Stratocaster. He singlehandedly reinvented the electric rock guitar and style of playing. 

Eddie died last year, and to remember him, I’ve made several covers of some of his songs, this time I made an original track, however heavily based on his playing, soloing and riffs. 

I hope you can appreciate and enjoy this tune written for Eddie, the man who inspired young Daniël, like so many other kids, to pick up the guitar and want to play rock music.

Driven

I have been a driver 
And I have been Driven
And I have come across this road before
I am not a Holy man
But I have been taken
to the promised land before

This has been the longest road
that I have traveled and I wound turn back now

New Album out now! https://danielvandenberg.bandcamp.com/album/short-tales-for-three-guitars

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

EVH 5150 Series Standard Stealth Black EB guitar
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Olympic White RW
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM Mahogany Natural
Paulino Bernabe, Taller de Guitarras, Model-50, 2001, classical concert guitar
Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar
Joan Cashimira, modelo 145, spruce top w/ cocobolo sides and back, Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), 2015

I hope you will enjoy my music.
