Satch and Vai’s musical careers have been intertwined since their very early days. Satriani served as Vai’s guitar
teacher during their teenage years on Long Island, New York. Their connection has continued to evolve over the
years, even sharing record labels, starting at Relativity Records in the late 80’s, to both calling Sony/Epic Records
home for a significant portion of the 90’s. Together, they have also frequently teamed up with a third guitarist on
multiple occasions throughout the span of 29 years, participating in the semi-annual G3 Tours, both in the U.S.
and abroad.
