Is guitar music dead? It's not – at least according to Steve Vai. In a recent interview with the Cincinnati Enquire ahead of his co-headline show with Joe Satriani, gave his take on the age-old question.
“Well, the guitar is still a very healthy ingredient in even pop music,” he responded. “You get Ed Sheeran, and even Taylor Swift is playing a guitar. As far as intense playing, it's just not accessible to the masses, usually – the evolution of shred, so to speak.”
