This is just an excerpt the incorporates baseless sweeping where it really doesn’t fit the song whatsoever in the style of frank gambale and my other guitar playing heros. Thanks for watching!

Michael Jackson – Beat It Michael Jackson – Beat It
Michael Jackson – Beat It Guitar Solo ( John Denner )
Eddie Van Halen
Michael Jackson Beat It from the album THRILLER
Released in 1982, the Quincy Jones-produced Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall; the dance and rock tracks were more driving, the pop tunes and ballads softer and more soulful, and all of it was recognizably Michael. Jackson brought in Paul McCartney for a duet, guitarist Eddie Van Halen for a jaw-dropping solo, and Vincent Price for a creepy recitation. It was no surprise that Thriller was a hit; what was a surprise was its staying power. Jackson’s duet with McCartney, “The Girl Is Mine,” was a natural single choice, and it peaked at number two; then “Billie Jean” and the Van Halen track “Beat It” both hit number one, for seven and three weeks respectively. Having never really accepted black artists in the past, MTV played the clips to death, garnering massive publicity for Jackson and droves of viewers for the fledgling cable network. Jackson sealed his own phenomenon by debuting his signature “moonwalk” dance step on May 16, 1983, on Motown’s televised 25th anniversary special;
Showing no signs of slowing down, Thriller just kept spinning off singles, including “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” the airy ballad “Human Nature,” and “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)”; in all, seven of its nine tracks wound up in the Top Ten, obliterating conventional ideas of how many singles could be released from an album before it ran its course. Thriller stayed on the charts for over two years, spent 37 nonconsecutive weeks at number one, and became the best-selling album of all time; it went on to sell 25 million copies in the U.S. alone, and around another 20 million overseas. Naturally, Jackson won a slew of awards, including a record eight Grammys in one night, and snagged the largest endorsement deal ever when he became a spokesman for Pepsi (he would later be burned in an accident while filming a commercial). At the end of 1983, Jackson was again on top of the singles charts, this time as part of a second duet with McCartney, “Say Say Say.” In 1984, Jackson rejoined his brothers one last time for the album Victory, whose supporting tour was one of the biggest (and priciest) of the year. The following year, he and Lionel Richie co-wrote the anthemic “We Are the World” for the all-star famine-relief effort USA for Africa; it became one of the fastest-selling singles ever.
Put this in the category of “this will never happen again in our lifetime,” but I was amazed to find that Eddie Van Halen recorded the solo for Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” for free.
The solo is a perfect example of the amazing nuance
Eddie Van Halen can bring to a guitar part with what was, at that time, groundbreaking technique.

This is a jam over a little tabla loop inspired a little bit by eric johnson, frank gambale and steve vai in the key of d flat.
Its 10 minutes of juicy noodling. If you want me to shut up, just put a chart in front of me…
This is just a bit of fun but thanks to all the amazing other guitars on youtube that are a great source of inspiration.
Theres some amazing stuff out there- and a few wankers like me.
