Steve's 10 hour a day practise schedule

I'd be interested in having a copy of Steve's Practise Routine (if you can find it). Whatever people may say, no-one can argue that Vai is a very talented technician. I think, wheather you admit it or not, most people would like to posess

the main question , in my opinion is what kind of player do you want to be? i dont think i will ever find myself practicing arrpegios more then 15 minutes a day , altough i can freely play 4-5 hours in a day..
steve vai is a great player , but honestly if i could be him or jimmy page, believe me i would choose page....
i dont think it's worth to practice 10 hours a day, only to be like vai, because i know he's very fast and all that but by the end any player i know, that plays more then 5-6 years can play most of his stuff...
so my point is: dont destroy your life and health,(and you will if you'll play that much) just practice the way you like, and by the way you'll probably able to do all this stuff...

hope i make any sense...
peace out

Makes perfect sense. I know, and agree, that there's no point in trying to play like Vai, or Satch, Yngwie (I think it's great how he's the only one called by his first name, think it's because lots of people can't spelt his surname?...), etc.
You do need to be your own player, otherwise what will you be adding to music? Nothing. However, just because you have amazing technique, doesn't mean you can't play with soul. Eric Johnson, Al DiMeola, Brain May - amazing technique, but their gift is knowning how to hold back and let the music take centre stage.
The reason I'm interested in Vai's work out is as aguideline and for ideas - I'd never follow someone else's workout to the letter, or even remotely close.
He's done something right to get to that technical ability, his flaw is not being able to get his emotions across to the majority of people and so he's become something of a shedders' guitarists...(does that make sense?).
Hope that saved me from sounding like a manic 15-year-old wannabe shredder...
