Guys, doesn't matter how we feel about EVH. Sterling has asked on a number of occasions that we not use his bandwidth to discuss Eddie. So let's please show some respect and end this thread.
I have been played guitar for 17 years now, and 4-5 year period was playing 6 & 1/2-10 hrs in a day. Usually i play 2-3hrs/day. It is still very difficult to catch Eddie´s sound - you have technique etc all right, you can easily play Eruption etc. EVH solos, but that sound - as Gary Moore´s sound too, it is very hard to get out - it comes from fingers, and there´s nothing to do with amps. Another very difficult is Stevie Ray Vaughan´s sound. Once someone said, that Stevie´s sound can be easily get out from Diaz´s amps, (still, fingers, fingers) but i never even seen one.
ya know... if he was using his MM id leave this thread alone. but as it stands this really has nothing to do with EBMM and historically eddie threads go south.
so my appologies, but im gonna close this bad boy up
