If you're a fan of guitar wiz Steve Vai, you may know a lot of his back story...if you aren't, reading this may get you looking for his music...the career of this guitar prodigy included lessons from Joe Satriani when he was 14, with the two guitar gods touring together later in life in the G3 Tour, plus both guys played on the "Feed My Frankenstein" remake on Alice's album :"Hey Stoopid"...that he played all the guitar parts on Whitesnake's "Slip of the Tongue" album when Viv Campbell exited the band to join Def Leppard, and Adrian Vandenberg hurt his wrist....that he impressed Frank Zappa at age 18 when he transposed a Zappa solo by memory while riding on a bus, and joined Zappa's band from 1980-1983....here's more about all that, plus a few more things you may not know (like what it was like to tour with David Lee Roth) about the guy who's playing the Metropolitan Theater in Morgantown tonight, Steve Vai: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-steve-vai/
