Should I say that Mr. Awesome was awesome? All levity aside, it was freaking great. Steve's playing, jokes, explanations, stories, etc.
And the jam. Yes, 5 lucky ones had a chance to jam with Steve. All of the lucky ones sucked, but there was a hall full of nearly crying fans, good guitarplayers, who were just shy boys "within the moment" worshipping their god. I bet they will be the first to get onstage if given another chance.
Looking forward to seeing you again, Mr. Vai! We just can't thank you enough!
BTW: It wasn't the first workshop in Belarus. But you are "that very guy" for sure anyways!
