Under the banner of Generation Axe, Steve Vai has gathered a whole armada of great guitarists around him and put them on the tour bus. Together with Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme) and Tosin Abasi (Animals As Leaders) the high priest of all stunt guitarists has already done two US tours and one trip to Asia. During their trip to the Far East, they also recorded their latest live album "The Guitars That Destroyed The World: Live In China".

The guitarist YASI HOFER from Ulm walks on the tracks of guitar gods

She learned her guitar trade at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule and the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston.

"My top three guitarists are Steve Vai, Robben Ford and Jeff Beck."
