As anyone with half an ear knows, Steve Vai can play a guitar like nobody else. His playing takes you on a trip through the cosmos. It's a sound so inspired and so pure that you'll swear that you can sense God on the other side of it. No, I'm not using hyperbole, and I'm absolutely serious. If you don't believe me, hit the "play" button with this article and just close your eyes. If you don't agree with the comment at the end of the song, "OK we know you can PLAY!" ... MORE

First time I saw Steve was when he was touring with Whitesnake in the early 1990's. I don't remember a lot about this gig but one thing I'll never forget is Steve playing his pink, heart-shaped, tripleneck Ibanez custom guitar like a madman. I know it's lame just to post a YouTube video link but I just can't find any words to describe a musician of his magnitude... This is Steve playing "Tender Surrender" on an Ibanez JEM Series guitar. Watch for the end when he ma... MORE
