While waiting for some other stuff to finish (you have no idea how long it takes to back up 200GB of data) - I was browsing YouTube and found this killer Vai video. Its a young Stevie Vai playing in a duet with Frank Zappa! Words cannot describe...

See for yourself.

Yes, the rest of us mortals have to work really hard just to be able to play this stuff slow, and here is Vai (at 19 years old, BTW) putting us all to shame. It's just as well, gives us something to shoot for...

After watching Zappa play, I can definitely see his influence in some of his students.... Zappa may look a little off, but his playing sure isn't!

Some of the Satriani videos are good too - especially the instructional videos... very humbling.

What's to be offended about? That is an awesome performance.

Thou preparest a mug in the presence of mine enemies,
Thou annointest my head with Arabica
My mug overflows
Surely vanilla and Hazlenut will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of Juan Valdez forever...

Actually, the entire bit I found goes like this:

Caffeine is my shepherd, I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in class; It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz; It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction, I will fear no Deaf
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez.
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the House of Jolt forever.
