Okay fellow guitar/musician/prog nerds...
Here we have a bit of Vai talking about woodshedding to "do the Fripp part."
I have never listened to Vai and when I heard he's doing Fripp's part in Beat I tracked down some stuff from throughout his career... and I don't care for any of it.

I hear ya and get it. I have a soft spot for him cuz he reminds me of some Long Islanders/Noo Yawkas I know, also his Zappa years ('80-'82). But yeah, his solo stuff and the Whitesnake/Alcatraz/DLR stints aren't my cup of tea. OTOH he sat in with Living Colour a while back and that was good!
