KIP WINGER Shares Conversation With STEVE VAI (Part 3) - "All I Need Is One Chord, And Everything Flows Out Of That"
July 28, 2023, a year ago
Winger frontman Kip Winger has shared Part 3 of his new interview with guitar legend Steve Vai. Check it out below.
On composing and his harmonic language
Vai: "There are various ways I go about creating harmonic map. I'll think of what I'm trying to achieve - I know I want this section to be beautiful or whatever - so I'll find a chord. All I need is one chord, and everything flows out of that, because that will set the tone. Usually the harmonic map comes from the intention of the idea."
Vai is currently on the next leg of the Inviolate North American Tour. Tickets and EVO Experience passes are now on sale at vai.com.
