For others, it was heard Eddie Van Halen play 'Eruption'. Some fell in love with the guitar listening to the pioneers Shredding even before the term existed: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Robert Johnson, Charlie Christian, Chuck Berry. Development of whole musical genres. It is a vehicle of destruction and chaos, but also of serenity and vulnerability.
