Here is a very interestnig article on the legendary EVH tone. It always seems to be a hot topic in which discussion leads nowhere.....I think a large portion of it is in his fingers. I believe it was Ted Nugent who played through EVH's rig and noticed he still sounded nothing like Eddie.
I think this series of articles and email conversation contains some very interesting ideas.*
***DISCLAIMER*** THE WRITER WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERAL ANTS-IN-THE-PANTS OR NUMB BUTTOX UPON READING( this suckah is loooooong!)
Here is an interesting thought i just read, not on the topic of guitars at all. I think Billy Graham hit the nail on the head.
I'm sure any member of this blog cannot count how many people they have known that fit this exact description. This is an older book (I assume '80s), but this chapter is more relevant now than ever. The relevance is even stronger because many of my peers are reaching an epiphany. Soon we all have to close a chapter in our lives and move on from the all-to-prolific halls of secondary school. Everyone is searching now, turning to one empty thing or another, but for most the search is fruitless. I believe many are still awaiting a "near-life" experience...to realize a relationship with their Creator.

Today our young people are asking for direction and perspective. They are looking for models to follow, for patterns of purpose.They are like rows of beautiful new automobiles, perfect in every detail but with no gasoline in the tanks. The exteriors are fine, but there's nothing inside to give them power. And so they just sit and rust -- with boredom.
This was taken from Billy Graham's "Peace With God" from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library.

Matt - yeah that's a huge article man! All I've got to say is that there's only one EVH! I wonder if he would be coined one of the most influential guitar players of all time - ah... yup!
On "Peace With God"
Great insights, Matt. God has given you some tremendous talents and gifts. In all you do, keep Him at the center.
Some verses for you:
Joshua 1.7-9 (NIV)
"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
