Hey everyone! On Weekend Wankshop 318, we are diving headfirst into a full breakdown of Steve Vai's legendary solo on Now You're Gone by Whitesnake!!!! This is probably my favorite era of ‪@SteveVaiHimself‬ playing, between this and the glory that is known as Passion and Warfare. Considering how big of a hit this song was, its possible that this is the Vai solo that the most people have heard! And, once again, there are ZERO accurate tabs out there on how to play it, so today, we are hitting it note by note (even that BIZARRE string-crossing tapped lick)!!! Lets do it!
Gear: my first swirl i ever did, The Duke, by ancient Ibanez RG7421 with Dimarzio Illuminator pickups
Fractal Audio Axe FX 3
What other Vai classics should we dig into?!?! I'm game for ANYTHING off Skip of the Tongue, thats one of my favorite records ever!!!
