In his hometown of Austin TX, a city full of guitarists, the readers of the Austin Chronicle have voted ERIC JOHNSON the city’s “Best Electric Guitarist” and “Best Acoustic Guitarist” in their yearly poll year after year
About Steve Vai
Steve Vai is a virtuoso guitarist, composer, and producer, considered by many as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
