Today, @jigsmusic and I interviewed @stevevai for our forthcoming book on all things guitar!

Steve’s music & guitar playing have been a continual source of inspiration to me for >30 years, so this is a dream come true! To top it off, he’s a really lovely guy! - Pinch me! 🤘🏾🙏

“The guitar has to be constantly re-imagined, de-constructed, then re-constructed … '21st Century Guitar' is the new grimoire in this quest for the instrument’s ongoing reinventions.” – Joe Satriani
