There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.

Eddie Van Halen

I was so used to doing old blues licks with the first three fingers. When I started using my pinky and finding more spread things, that’s when I started getting my own style.

Fingers Hands Myself Old Start Style
A guitar is just theoretically built wrong. Each string is an interval of fourths, and then the B string is off. Theoretically, that’s not right, all the strings should be off.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

Guitar Interval Music Theory Wrong
Some people think a song without words isn’t a real song. Tell that to Beethoven and he’ll kick your ass!
EDDIE VAN HALEN

Himself People Reality Song Thinking Word
It’s all about sound. It’s that simple. Wireless is wireless, and it’s digital. Hopefully somewhere along the line somebody will add more ones to the zeros. When digital first started, I swear I could hear the gap between the ones and the zeros.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

Digital Myself Simplicity Sound Start
I never dreamt of being a musician for my livelihood. I certainly never would have wanted to be in the business that I’m in, meaning the fame and the glory, the glitter, the rock star, the famous part.

I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I’m not your average bear. I – what’s the word? I’m not – normal.

Average Myself Normal Ordinary Word
I’m blessed with a good pair of ears. That’s how I fooled my piano teacher. I’d watch his fingers and I’d listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.

Basic Blessing Goodness Kind Learning Myself Teacher
The one thing I do have is good ears. I don’t mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.

I think Clapton is brilliant. He’s the only one who moved me. The only one who made me want to play the guitar.

Brilliant Move Oneself Thinking
The stainless-steel frets were a major breakthrough, because of the amount of playing and bending that I do. I have to get my guitars refretted every couple of months.

Every song is like a kid. How can you have that many kids and have a favorite? Which one do I like to hang most with?

A good producer brings out the best in the artist he’s working with. You shouldn’t be able to listen to something and say, ‘So-and-so produced this album.

If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing.

We’re musicians. We make music for a living. It’s that simple. Nothing else matters.

It’s always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you’re the same, and they hate you if you’re different.
