This month at Guitar Center we feature guitarist Steve Vai who helped establish the shred guitar phenomenon in the Eighties, and transcended the genre from the very beginning becoming a legendary guitarist in his own right. Vai
has remained as popular and influential as ever thanks to his adventurous, exploratory spirit, which constantly reveals new possibilities for the guitar.
