If one of your more musical friends showing you Steve Vai in your friend's bedroom when you were 14 wasn't enough to make you a fan of Steve Vai - sit down, toss this documentary on.

I rate this piece of film a 9.5/10 and IMDB stipulates the rating must be an even number, 10 it is.

Steve is a funny dude. Filmmaker is a funny dude. Always a plus when those characteristics harmonise.

I expected to enjoy this, I expected to learn a thing or two. I am now convinced I must rewatch it to soak up any and all precious moments and teachings.

Edit: Just did, glad I did it. I have planned to rewatch it again and again again. Shout-out cooking oil.
