Some of rock’s greatest guitar players didn’t even start on guitar. 🎸

A fascinating Grunge article reveals how legends like Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Carlos Santana, Mick Mars, and Nils Lofgren first studied instruments like piano, violin, and accordion before becoming guitar icons.

Eddie Van Halen even won classical piano competitions as a kid before changing guitar history forever. 🎹🔥

Proof that musical talent can begin anywhere.

If you love guitars, gear, classic rock, and music news — you’re in the right place. 🤘

This guitar had duct tape residue stuck on it for YEARS. I finally cleaned it up using Turtle Wax Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound, and the Dunlop 65 Lemon Oil actually helped break down the old adhesive.

Now this thing is looking WAY better. 🔥

So now I need your help…

What color combo, guitar strap, and string block should I use to finish the look of this guitar? Let me know in the comments! 👇

🎸 On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we talk about how Joe Satriani used the online guitar community and hours of YouTube videos to help him master’s iconic riffs for the Best Of All Worlds tour.

Joe says learning the notes was the easy part — capturing Eddie’s feel, phrasing, and unique fingerings was the real challenge. By studying countless guitar players online, Satriani compared techniques, approaches, and styles to get as close as possible to Eddie’s magic while still staying true to himself as a player.
