You know, after so many years of playing the guitar, it's shocking that Eddie is still unable to put a decent melodic structure into his solos. They are just a bunch of tricks anyone can do stuck together in the same old pattern.
There's just not a drop of thought in it.
In the old days, all of the tapping was novel, and sometimes you would get that blistering burst of hard fast playing. But now, it's all harmonics, tapping, and a few tentative notes while the pick-up is set to bridge.
It makes you wonder if Eddie is only as good as who he's playing with, and does someone with that handle deserve such accolades?
Maybe that's why Rolling Stone dug him a ditch on their last 100 Greet Guitarists poll.
