Steve Vai Hand Surgery

[David Houck]

I'm just now noticing that Steve Vai recently had hand surgery and won't be able to play for a while.  There apparently is a video interview on youtube where he talks about it.  Some articles on music sites report that the injury was caused by holding a very difficult chord for a very long time.


Hoping for a full recovery.

Ouch... yeah, that sounds painful.


I stretched into an E major with an added 9th just to show off for my Nephew the other day. Got away with it on that short-scale Martin.

Here is the proof he is still more than capable with one hand.
