Hey guys!!!! Newest video is up, in which we tackle a Steve Vai classic: his amazing solo from Now You're Gone by Whitesnake! This is probably my favorite era of Vai's playing, the DLR/Passion and Warefare/Whitesnake period. He was so unabashedly weird and vicious on guitar, it really sounded like he was proving himself to the world at that point. And he DID!!!! This solo is really fun to play and covered in Vai-isms, so have fun with it!

Also, be sure to watch the intro of the video to learn about a very special thing going on that you can be a part of to make someone's holiday season a LOT better. Darren from ATD (the legendary guitar swirler that did all the classic Jems and UV's for Ibanez) just lost his entire shop in a fire, and its up to us to help him recover!!! 

Thanks for watching and for the support, y'all. Hope everyone is having a peaceful holiday season!

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!!!
