Welcome to GuitarGrrl's Eddie Van Halen Zone, brought to you by the nifty flks at Helium. My name is Carlie Lawson and I hope to help you learn about my favorite guitarist and number one influence. You might have found your way here from the Guitar GreatZone. EVH was the first ever featured guitarist there. If you came here directly, I hope that after you learn a bit about this amazing guitar god, you'll check out the rest of the site, too.

If you don't see what you're looking for, please leave a comment and I'll do my best to locate it and upload it or link to it. Also, if you have pertinent material for the site, please, drop me a line with a link so I can add it.

All the best,

Hey Ethel! That's just an HTML table with a hex code defined color as the background of one column. I wanted the Zone colors to match the colors of the ChordZone chord diagrams. *smiles*
