Why is Vai's stuff so head and shoulders above other writers.. cause he's been there done that. Nice article, looking forward to the next "Goach, my son is going to be an All-American"... classic!

The only thing wrong with Vai's articles is that I have to wait for the next one!...You see, tomorrow is not guaranteed, and I am afraid I might die before his next article!...
