Oh my!!! Who is Steve Vai? Wow! :) Yes, he definitely one of my favorite guitar players. Plays the same stuff Satriani does basically. In fact, I believe Vai was a student of Satriani, or vice versa. Vai also played on one of the best albums (IMHO) ever, David Lee Roth's Eat 'Em and Smile. Super guitar playing on that album. I haven't listened to a lot of his newer stuff. I think he's really into the 7 string guitars now, or at least was a few years ago. He's the designer of the JEM series at Ibanez. Man, those things with the handles and flower or pyramid inlay. I always wanted some of those. Check out his web site. I'm sure he has some sound clips there. And BTW, again in IMHO, that G3 concert has 3 of the best guitar players on the planet. I personally Mamlsteen is just incredible. Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Jeff B.

October 31, 2003, I saw the G3 concert in West Palm Beach. In addition to him, Yngwie Malmsteen and Joe Satriani played, with all of them up together at the end. Steve's big solo is on a triple neck guitar - one 6 string, one 12 string, and one 6 string fretless. Need I say more? The guy is not only an outstanding technical master, but uses processing effects very dramatically. G3 Cd's and DVDs I highly recommend. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com Yahoo!
