	Edward Van Halen 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Part of what made Edward’s tone on the early Van Halen albums so great was the fact that the overdrive was gotten from his aggressive attack on the strings – the corresponding harmonics brought forth a lively aggressive sound.
		Edward’s attack on the strings in effect helped turn the amp into a higher gain sound and the pickup he used was a big part of the equation.
		Edward dug into his strings and his overall vibe and tone feels aggressive because he WAS aggressive with the guitar – it’s a sound and tone that feels genuine, alive and present.
