Happy 54th Birthday to Little Steve Vai

Today is the 54th birthday of one of the great guitarist of all time Little Steve Vai. He started playing in 1973 and was a student of Joe Satriani before joining Frank Zappa’s band. He has done it all as a guitarist even having a guitar duel with Ralph Macchio in the movie Crossroads.

Steve Vai has played with Alice Cooper, David Lee Roth, Whitesnake and of course the 3-G tour. The first time I saw him play live was with David Lee Roth in 1985 and all I can say is Wow. He is a killer man on the axe and if you ever get the chance to see him play make sure you do it.
