Eddie Van Halen doesn't use a slide in "I'll Wait," though it’s easy to understand why you might think so, especially given the fluid, smooth quality of some of his playing on that track. In "I'll Wait," from 1984, most of what you're hearing is Eddie’s use of the whammy bar and his impeccable phrasing and technique.
