“I just thought, ‘I’m done’”: Steve Vai reflects on how “brutal” experience with Frank Zappa nearly made him give up on touring
With a manic touring schedule, a new setlist every night and sometimes two shows in one day, Frank Zappa pushed Steve Vai to his limits.
There's a guitarist named Charlie Hunter. His deal since the 1990s is to play the bass and guitar at the same time on one instrument. Trying to make that work on one instrument is really why we started seeing 7- and 8-string guitars, fan-fret necks and the return of baritones. "I want to be a fraction as cool as Charlie", basically.
I love the idea, but wonder if I could get good enough for it to be worth it.
Reminded again about Wilson Page’s delightful #Songwhip site that provides free smart links to over a dozen different #music#streaming platforms for artists, albums, and songs
