I can't count how many times I've listened to this. Seriously, did Eddie even realize how transcendently good these performances were during this era? They're so organic and fluid, while also being perfect note for note 😮

To anyone who doesn’t play guitar: This is very hard.

He's smiling, he's happy like a child who has just made his first chord on a baby guitar.
Eddie always smiles when soloing... he wasnt a rockstar, he was a kid with a guitar.
R.I.P. and play in heaven, mate!
