Nigga whut.

Eric Clapton once said that the best guitar player can be found in Norway, and his name is Øystein Sunde!

This needs some clarification:
The speed metal symphony tune is not by Steve Vai but by Cacophony (Marty Friedman & Jason Becker) from the album Speed Metal Symphony :)

About the jams with Yngwie, Somewhere over the rainbown and Beethovens 5th... this is from Vai's official website:

"I don't ever recall playing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow', or 'Beethoven's 5th.' I don't ever recall jamming with Yngwie, and I have never heard of a track that Joe and I properly recorded called 'Formula 1.' I think it's all rumors, mistakes or misnamed things."

Just listening to the songs it's clear that's not Vai playing at all. He's even better :)

And to add another name to the list of great guitar players, if you never heard about him, check out Shawn Lane a very little know legen from Memphis that passed away a couple of years ago. He was amazing!

Damn almost forgot about him. yes he was great

Hi quicksand! That is very interesting man. I really wonder who it is, if it isn't Vai. It does sound alot like him. I guess we will just have to take his word for it. Sorry about the Speed Metal Symphony, some people rename shit and things lead their own life after that.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
