Steve Vai

Steve Vai first came to public attention as Frank Zappa's "stunt guitarist" in the 1980s. Vai's incredible dexterity and musical acumen made him the thinking man's guitar hero. Striking out on his own, the fleet-fingered Vai released a series of solo albums that earned him a rabid following of guitar worshippers. Along the way, he did time as a sideman with David Lee Roth, replaced Yngwie Malmsteen in Alcatrazz, and formed shred-guitar supergroup G3 with fellow fretmasters Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani.
