Thanks to some help from our buddies at Ibanez, we got to sit down with the ultimate shredders, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, to talk about their historic careers, how they overcome stage fright, and lots and lots of gear. And apparently, all it takes to become the best guitarists around is an Ibanez guitar and a black t-shirt — oh, and tons and tons of skill!
Thanks to Steve Vai and Joe Satriani for taking time out of their busy schedules to chat, and thanks to Ibanez for setting it all up. We had a blast!
