Summary:
Over the course of a more than 40-year career, Steve Vai has routinely transformed what would appear to be outrageously impossible into something very, very possible, and still pretty outrageous. From his days as Frank Zappa's 'stunt guitar' player to his more recent expansive and exploratory solo work, Vai has continually challenged notions of traditional guitar playing and composition, and on more than one occasion even reimagined the very instrument itself. Which, he'll admit, is not necessarily his intention. Vai's newest and tenth solo album, a nine-song opus that does indeed push the boundaries of instrumental guitar music, Vai quite literally invented not just a new guitar, but also a new guitar-playing technique.
