More deepy-divey into the making of the Jack Butler guitar duel and the crafting of the specific guitar itself! Also a review of the recent Charvel Guitars documentary, some background on Joe Satriani's early years in San Fancisco, and more hyperactive shred chat with Dan and Brian. OH, and a major detour into everything Motley Crue was up to during 1991, for reasons that will be made abundantly clear as we examine Steve Vai's shifting mindset during that era. Also I sploosh majorly over my new favorite gospel song of all time and Joe Morton's mastery of acting like a major prick toward Ralph Macchio before he takes the stage.

Thank you for supporting someone who is doing things counter to the way successful people do it. That would be short, graphic-laden video content with clickbait titles and much less information. I appreciate your thirst for knowledge because it keeps me reading and writing and discovering more stories every time I put out another episode. This was a joy. Thank you for listening.

 P.S. I forgot to mention Steve Vai portrays Hank Williams Sr. in the film "Crazy" (2008) so have fun with that on your own time :)
