Hot stuff, almost everything is on fire when you lead. So much in techniqually - I can't even count ;-)

Super riff work, Dan! And these dive bombs are chasing me ;-)

Full power, now unison! Great end vamp, too. Superb original tune with lot of references to Eddie - but as well to you, my friend. Outstanding guitar work and one straight rockin' fine composition!

This is a killin tribute Dan... you do his memory great justice here.  Bravo!

great! you were remembering & channeling EVH.

“I am a tone chaser... I love chasing tone...” - Eddie Van Halen

Always tinkering, Edward Van Halen made himself a guitar and gear that could match his ideas in sound.  From the first record onward, Eddie’s always had a great guitar sound, from the brown sound -as he called the sound of the early records- to the massive sound on his last album. Much, actually most of it though had to do with his mind, soul, feel, his hands and note choices. Edward thinks in outlandish bends, dive bomb whammy bar sounds, squeals and pinch harmonics, pick scratches, finger tapping, wild runs with short atonal interruptions in the blues scales, etc. etc. that I think was his way of surprising himself and with him so many of us rock guitarists back in the day. His tone is not so much about what you would call beauty in a classical sense, but more like extremely cool, explosive and intense. It changed rock music and put rock guitar back on the map, even the biggest pop artists wanted a taste of his playing, like Michael Jackson on his song `beat it’.

In memory and respect of the king of rock guitar, I am making a string of tracks, covers and some originals, that celebrate Edward Van Halen’s phenomenal playing. Of course I am emulating his tones and sounds, with the deepest respect for him. I don’t claim to come close to his tone and playing, it is with the humbled appreciation for the hero of my youngest years. An introduction, back then, to the electric guitar and rock music for me.

-Dan

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.

Recorded with the EVH relic Frankenstrat Guitar.
Track written, recorded and played by Dan van den Berg, loosely based on EVH music.

Recorded March 2021,

Curtain Call

Poker Face

Seeing as light is fading from the centre of your eyes
And the blog that I been posting 
Don’t change your face design
I find I got no knowledge of the ways inside your mind
Any feelings you have gathered are hidden by disguise

How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will I be nowhere 
I’ve never seen or felt some kind of sign
But I’m wishin’ for that magic kind of ride
How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will you be elsewhere
I’m seeing but I may as well be blind
Your poker face is killing me inside

I’m so ever hopeful I got sensors in my teeth
If you favour me with meeting eyes I’m flushing red as beet
And dissecting every phrase of yours and liberating nothing
I got to get to you or else I’ll shrink away to stuffing

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.
