Five of the saddest guitar solos ever recorded
Real tear jerkers.
Steve Vai
The audition joke Frank Zappa played on Steve Vai: “I hear Linda Ronstadt is looking for a player”
Having some fun with the new kid.
The song that got Steve Vai into Frank Zappa’s band: “A superior musical intelligence”
“Going to work for Frank was an education…”
The guitarist Brian May holds in the highest regard: “Colossal”
One of the instrument’s technical masters.
The Jimi Hendrix song that made Angus Young want to play guitar: “I was enthralled”
Young states Hendrix was “another level”.
The only guitarist Steve Vai was never able to imitate: “Walking on higher ground”
“Even just one note.”
