## Resource

We've got conversations on tap featuring both Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. In our first episode, Steve joins Matt to talk about the current SatchVai tour as well as the album that's been taking shape. They also discuss other topics, including getting to revisit Van Halen's Jump for FIFA World Cup, his past work with John Lydon and Public Image Limited (an album which also featured Cream's Ginger Baker), his ongoing collaboration with BEAT, featuring Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Danny Carey.....and more! We get into a lot with Steve. Go see SatchVai and keep your pod player warmed up for our subsequent chat with Joe Satriani!
