Eddie was special
he played by Ear
did not use written music.

He was a fighter
went all over the World to try and stop the Throat Cancer.



Another Guitarist
who started age 15 in the Santana Band

2 Great Guitarists

Eddie had 10 years of this cancer
I am pleased he choose to keep that private.

55mins, 2015 Interview.

Starting from when he played Piano aged 10.
How it got his Great Sound on Electric Guitar.

Also how amp Voltage
from the UK helped his Amp Designs


Every time he Plays his Own Design Guitar
he adjusts the Volume on his guitar,
after playing loud
