Guitar legend Steve Vai has checked in with the following update:

"Hey folks, the long awaited manuscript folio for Inviolate is now available and includes manuscript and tab for the main guitar parts for each song on Inviolate. Check out the tab for 'Teeth Of The Hydra', 'Little Pretty', 'Candle Power', 'Knappsack' and all the twisted, turning, churning finger racing through this entire record. But don’t hurt yourself."

Go to this location to pick up the book.

Steve Vai has announced a return to Europe for planned appearances in March through May. The second leg of European dates on the Inviolate World Tour will begin in Lisbon, Portugal on March 24. The itinerary will bring Vai through Spain, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Latvia, and Estonia prior to wrapping on May 7 in Helsinki, Finland.

Steve Vai shares, “Our previous fall tour of North America was outstanding. Myself and the band are as oiled up and ready as ever. I’m excited to finally bring the Hydra guitar to Europe as I missed doing that on the last EU run. The response from Inviolate was tremendously positive and it showed in the press, the attendances and the energy in the audience and we are so much looking forward to this EU tour.”

This past year, Steve Vai released a new studio album, Inviolate. In support of the release, he staged successful tours of North America and Europe. This year, plans will take the guitarist, composer, and songwriters to most continents across The World as he continues to stage events on the Inviolate World Tour.
