If anyone gets guitar players, it’s going to be Wolfgang Van Halen.

Besides being the son of Van Halen guitarist Eddie, Wolfgang himself gets praise for his guitar playing.

So, who is currently Wolfgang’s favorite guitarist?

“Aaron Marshall is my favorite guitar player of today,” he said. “An important thing my dad always said: when it comes to soloing, you should be able to hum the solo.”

Wolfgang added, “On top of Aaron’s ridiculous chops, he manages to work in the catchiest melodies. His melodic sensibility is one of my favorite things about his playing…He is so different from people in his genre of the heavier, progressive, metal-y rock sort of thing. It really separates him from everyone else. I can’t speak enough of how wonderful a guitar player and songwriter he is.”

“On top of [his talent], he’s a wonderful man, a very kind dude.” Van Halen concluded.
