learn about, learn from guitar god steve vai

steve vai, former pupil to (same high school, even) and disciple to , became a household name as a guitar god in the 80's when he was selected to succeed eddie van halen as david lee roth's lead guitarist. with a technical mind that is probably the smartest in all of guitar rock (arguably even better than satriani), vai has made his mark on a range of projects, from zappa's art-rock, to the ralph maccio blues film , to al dimeola fusion jazz collaborations.

listen to a few tracks:

• brown shoes don't make it (frank zappa, tinsel town rebellion, 1981)
• yankee rose (david lee roth, eat 'em and smile, 1986)
• my guitar wants to kill your mama (with satriani and eric johnson--live cover of the 1970 zappa classic)

here's a short guitar lesson from steve vai about --a good example of how steve's mind and music operate.
