Vai is currently on a critically-acclaimed, 100+ date Passion And Warfare 25th Anniversary World Tour celebrating one of the greatest instrumental rock guitar recordings of all time. “Ultimately, the main goal of Vai Academy is for everybody in attendance to feel incredibly enthusiastic when thinking about their goals, their future, and connection to the instrument, and to make some new friends, maybe find a new bandmate or two, and have a great time.” It’s your most useful friend to express what’s inside.

This year, we’re going to focus on guitar technique, and we’ll talk about finding inspiration within yourself to write melodies and songs. “For 2017, we chose the Asilomar Conference Grounds in beautiful Carmel, California during the first week of January, which is great because everyone’s ready to start the year fresh after the holidays.

“I’m so excited that Vai Academy has been as successful as it’s been, and it seems to become more interesting every year,” Steve Vai, the newly-inducted 2016 Long Island Music Hall of Fame Member, remarked.

Along with a star-studded lineup of special guests including Al Di Meola, Zakk Wylde, Carlos Alomar and others, Vai will stage the event for players and music lovers of all ages, levels, interests, and tastes.
