That was wonderful! Looking forward to episode 2. Someday we need to hear the full Steve Vai meets the ghost of Uncle Joe story. (Sounds like an episode of Scooby Doo)
This is gorgeous, Dweezil. Thank you. I don’t suppose the Fractal presets could be made available for manual entry on my crusty old Axe FX Ultra? Fractal ended support for the editor with the latest Mac release.
Thank you! I'll see what I can do to help you with your Fractal Request. You would be able to dial in the parameters by number but it's doubtful things would sound the same. I may still have an old Axe FX Ultra. It's possible I have some VH presets in there that might be a good starting point. I'll have to check and get back to you.
What a great interview. I'm a lifelong VH fan who remembers where he was when Eruption came out. I also have a purple Kramer Pacer circa 1982 (I have to check the serial # for the date). The guy was everything to me guitar wise. The Ice Cream Man stretches, the rhythm playing of I'm the One and Beautiful Girls and of course the soloing. And Fair Warning is my favorite album so can't wait to hear that one as I also remember picking the LP up and having to put the needle back to the beginning after hearing the first 30 seconds of Mean Streets.
And then to hear you've got 4hours with Nuno, who in my mind is the closest thing to an heir apparent to that style of playing. Great stuff and can't wait to hear it.(And if by chance you read this, your solo on Just the Way She is is brilliant)
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast so far. There's a ton of great stuff coming up! EP 2 with Steve Vai premieres tomorrow at noon PST and we go over the entire VH 1 first album song by song. Next week, my guest is Paul Gilbert who does a whole lot of guitar playing on the episode!
Glad you liked the solo on "Just The Way She Is." Best, DZ
The first episode with Vai was amazing! I bought the complete $51.50 package and am curious about the Premier Guitar subscription. I already have an online-only subscription to PG, but definitely want to get my hands on a printed version of the current issue with Ed on the cover. Should I head to the nearest magazine stand, or will this printed copy be included with the package that I bought? Thank you and keep up the great work.
Hi Steven, I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast so far and thanks for jumping in on it! I expect to hear from Premier Guitar today with the details for 5150 bundle owners. You'll receive an email about very soon. Best, DZ

Does anyone know if the 1-year subscription to Premier Guitar that comes with the bundle is available world wide? Is it hardcopy or digital? Thanks
Hi Vinicius,
Yes! If you have ordered the 5150 bundle, you will receive an email this week with info about your subscription options.
Best, DZ
