Michael Jackson Beat It Multitrack Exclusive Repack Jun 2026

Of course, no discussion of the "Beat It" multitracks is complete without the isolated guitar layers. The session famously features Steve Lukather on rhythm guitar and bass, but the crown jewel is Eddie Van Halen’s legendary solo. In the exclusive multitrack view, you can hear the exact moment Eddie’s amplifier hums to life. The solo, which Van Halen performed for free as a favor, is a lightning strike of "brown sound" tapping and dives that famously caused a speaker in the control room to catch fire during the session. Hearing the dry signal of this solo reveals the technical complexity and the sheer spontaneous energy that a polished radio mix can sometimes mask.

Lead electric guitar (including the Eddie Van Halen solo), distorted electric guitar, and three rhythm electric guitar tracks (clean, left, and right). michael jackson beat it multitrack exclusive
