Okay, so Vai is great. He can play fast and loud like Eddie Van Halen. But does he put as much heart and soul into his playing as, say, Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix? Or does he simply try to wow fans with his technique and guitar wizardry without worrying about emotion. Just like Albert King says on the In Session disc, "A lot of guitar players out here. They play fast, but they don't concentrate on no soul."
