Eddie Van Halen

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

Live Money Music Ourselves Simplicity
Actually, if I could deliberately sit down and write a pop hit, all my songs would be pop hits! Let’s put it this way. I play what I like to hear. And sometimes I like to hear something poppy, and sometimes I don’t.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

Myself Play Song Way Writing
I’ll be making music ’til the day I die. I’ve done all kinds of stuff, and more is coming.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

Day Death Kind Music Myself
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.

I’m just a guitarist in a kick-ass rock and roll band. What more could I ask for?

I grew up on a lot of early Beatles, DC5, Cream, Clapton, Page, Beck and Hendrix.

There’s a plaque on our wall that says we’ve sold over 65 million albums, and I don’t feel I’ve accomplished anything. I feel like I’m just getting started.

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.

Guitar Interval Music Theory Wrong
I’m just a normal schmo like anyone else.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

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.

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.

Instrument Reading Theory Universal Yourself
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.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

If you have a great-sounding guitar that’s a quality instrument and a good amp, and you know how to make the guitar talk, that’s the key. It starts with the guitar and knowing what it should sound and feel like.
