I also like Steve Vai very much. He set the standard for rock guitar virtuosity in the '80s. I especially like his 1983's Man from Utopia and 1984's Them or Us and Thing Fish.

Topic: What is Plectrum in guitars? (1 replies, posted in Guitars)
You might be playing guitars for years but do you know what is plectrum in guitars?
I am giving a short description on plectrum, if you know more please let me know!
A "guitar pick" or "plectrum" is a small piece of hard material which is generally held between the thumb and first finger of the picking hand and is used to "pick" the strings. Though most classical players pick solely with their finger nails, the "pick" is often used for electric and some acoustic guitars

Re: Favorite Guitar Type (13 replies, posted in Guitars)
Acoustic guitar is my favorite guitar type. I like this guitar because in acoustic guitars, string vibration is transmitted through the bridge and saddle to the body via sound board. The sound board is typically made of tone woods such as spruce or cedar. Timbers for tone woods are chosen for both strength and ability to transfer mechanical energy from the strings to the air within the guitar body.
