Guitar legend STEVE VAI has scheduled a Alien Guitar Secrets Master Class at 3 PM on November 24th at Rock Star Music School in Bolton, Ontario (Canada).

The tickets, limited to 100, are available now at this location.

While many musicians fit easily into a single category, Steve Vai's unique musical vision remains unclassifiable. After more than 25 years, Vai continues to use unbridled guitar virtuosity and soulful artistry to explore the spectrum of human emotion.

From his self-released solo debut Flex-Able (1984) to his most recent Where The Wild Things Are live CD and DVD (2009 , E1 Music Canada), Vai creates a sound all his own by striking a balance between technical ability and poetic phrasing.

"I make music to push my own buttons," explains Vai. "I've always been driven by an addiction to create sounds that are unique – not better than what other people do, just different."

That obsession with running down the voodoo in his head remains the guiding force behind Vai's ongoing musical evolution and what he loves most about being a musician.

"For me, the real gravy is when I hear a strange or beautiful sound in my head and then make it real in the world using the devices I have as a musician," says Vai. "The things that have never been done before are what interest me most."

Steve Vai released Where The Wild Things Are on September 29th, and it is quickly going Gold in Canada. A grand, double-DVD set containing a two-hour-and-40-minute concert filmed last year at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it is, in Vai's words, "a shining highlight of my career."

The DVD, captured in HD and containing both 5.1 and stereo mixes (it'll be available on Blu-ray), showcases classic Vai material and some new selections. It finds the guitar virtuoso performing with a hand-picked group of world-class musicians including Bryan Beller (bass), Jeremy Colson (drums), GIT graduate Dave Weiner (guitar, sitar), Alex DePue (violin, keyboards), Ann Marie Calhoun (violin, keyboards) and Zack Wiesinger (lap steel).
