Steve Vai

I am not such a huge fan of Steve Vai. Most compositions are too "flat" to my ears and macho- rock oriented. But I came across some link to Steve Vai youtube vids and found some tunes that are actually very nice compositions.

One can have a good laugh because of the man's "choreography" and "acting". It's completely "over the top", but he just plays so incredibly well...

Here are 2 tunes I dig:

For The Love Of God (that title!):



And Tender Surrender (he just ruins everything in the ending) :



Have fun and let me know what you think

Reading notes and tabs

Starting the new schoolyear and having more and more very young and beginning pupils (taking guitar lessons at the schools where I teach) I decided to start a basic tab and note reading lesson series.

For people who are new to tab and note reading I suggest you take a look at these lessons since they learn you these things very slowly (I guess I could have called these tab and note reading for dummies, but I think "for dummies" is copyrighted...).

Here are the links to the lessons:

Have Fun!
