Steve Vai's [Modified] 30-Hour Workout

OVERVIEW – DECEMBER 7, 2010

It’s funny, sometimes I can be extremely anal about things and sometimes – ah, whatever…

I don’t even remember how I came across it, but in my search for an “at-home” practice routine, I came across Steve Vai’s 30-Hour Guitar Workout(subtitled Steve Vai’s “30-Hour Path to Virtuoso Enlightenment” or How to Destroy Your Pop Career in One Easy Lesson). I have a copy (actually two) of Steve’s 10-Hour Workout, on which the 30-Hour regime is based. The version I have is from the October 2007 issue of Guitar World, in which the original 10-Hour Workout was reprinted, with some additional commentary by Steve.
