"Crossroads" (1987) Part 2 | Steve Vai and the History of Shred Guitar

<p>This, I predict, will go down in history as a muchly beloved episode due to the involvement of 2 delightful interlopers with greater shred cred than I. Get ready for the history of Steve Vai, his contributions to electric guitar design, his tutorship by Joe Satriana and Frank Zappa, and his involvement in "Crossroads." We also dig into Yngwie Malmsteen, the creation of Shrapnel Records and lots of other 80s electric guitar history they don't talk about on Pop Up Video, American Bandstand, or even Total Request Live, god help us. And there's a whole 'nother episode coming out real qwick after this one to make more shredness happen!</p> <p> </p> <p>Choose your way of supporting the show for no money or for maybe some money:</p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span class= "s1">https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever</span></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">National Sexual Assault Hotline</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">1-800-656-4673</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">National Suicide Prevention Lifeline</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">800-273-8255</span></p>
