Lari Basilio.

As a bona fide guitar hero in her own right, Lari Basilio has had the opportunity to share stages – and recording sessions – with some of the most established (and pioneering) names in the guitar world. From trading licks with Joe Satriani on her track, Glimpse of Light, to playing side by side with Steve Vai, Basilio has shared the nuggets of wisdom she picked up from these all-time greats.

“If you’re on stage with Steve Vai, you have to find a way through all the emotions and enjoy the moment. It goes by very fast," she tells Guitar World.
