Eddie Van Halen is healing from hand surgery
Posted by: | CommentsEddie had surgery recently on his left hand to address pain he was experiencing that seemed to be getting worse.
Eddie Van Halen: “During the last leg of our tour, I started developing pain in my thumb and my pinky. I didn’t think much of it at the time.” “It got progressively worse to the point that about three months ago I wasn’t able to play at all. My pinky and my thumb were totally locked up and felt like there was something broken.” -Rolling Stone
Sources say he is recovering nicely and the rehab of his hand should be complete in 4-6 months.
Hope you get better soon Ed! Can’t wait to hear you ripping it up again soon and hear some new VH tunes.

Posted by: | CommentsI came across the maker of this site on Twitter and thought it was a neat idea so I thought I’d share. It’s a cool little site that allows you to very quickly write out a tab of a lick you have come up with. I found it easy to use and it gives you options of ways to share it.
