Eddie and the slide

Does Eddie use a slide in "I'll Wait"?  I always thought that was a whammy + slide combo coming out of the solo.  Then I was listening carefully and was wondering if he was using it periodically throughout the solo.  I know he used it on Dirty Movies and Could this be Magic.

Eddie's story about the slide reminds me of similar activities I found on abcya. It's great how simple ideas can make learning fun and engaging for kids.

He uses slides in different parts of the song as well as throughout the solo. His playing becomes more fluid and polished as a result. Slides and whammy bar effects combine to provide a distinctive sound that is typical of Eddie's approach.

Block Blast Magic Sound : Eddie Van Halen likely uses a slide in “I’ll Wait,” especially during the descending phrases after the solo, adding to the song’s distinct sound. While he is known for blending techniques like the whammy bar and slides, it’s not always easy to differentiate them throughout the solo. He also used slides in other tracks like “Dirty Movies” and “Could This Be Magic,” showcasing his innovative style.
