Overview: What Makes This Song Great

Michael Jackson’s Thriller has gone down in the record books as the best-selling album of all time, a record that it looks to hold for the foreseeable future. Though there are many great singles on the album, for guitarists and fans of Van Halen there is only one, “Beat It.” After the song was written, producer Quincy Jones called up Eddie Van Halen and asked if he would come in and record a solo for the song. At first EVH thought it was a prank call, but after confirming that the gig was real he jumped at the chance to work with Jackson on the track. Though he may have been a little too enthusiastic since he offered to do it for free, a decision that would haunt the guitarist and his pocketbook for decades to come.

Besides featuring a killer solo, with EVH’s characteristic whammy dive at the outset, there is also a strange knocking noise that can be heard right before the solo begins. Many rumors have cropped up over the years as to what that noise is and why it was left it. Two of the more famous, and credible, stories are that EVH simply knocked on his guitar before recording the solo, the other is that it was someone knocking on the studio door to bring Eddie a drink or pack of smokes. Either way, the producers liked the added effect and left it in on the final recording.

The intro riff, which is now a classic, is easy enough to learn but the solo is definitely a challenge. So grab your Frankenstrat, warm up your tapping technique and dive in!
