Summary: Interesting Musical Ideas
Review: I am truly a Vai fan and have been hooked since hearing his Fire Garden album and then seeing him in concert back in 1996 when I lived in the Washington D.C. area. Hearing his Ultra Zone CD inspired me even more to get this sheet music. I liked the song Frank because I can play the whole thing from memory now. It's not too dificult and is in a straight forward key. The thing I like best about Frank is the ending where he does some guitar riffs that sound like he is using a slide, but he is actually using a whammy.I don't have all of the effects like Vai does (Harmonizer), but most people probably don't. But, any Vai fan will love this sheet music as I think it does a good job of guitar tab transcriptions. All in all a great learning tool. My friend heard this CD and said that the 3rd or 4th song made him sick, (the one he sings about Go Bee), but aside from that a great album and sheet music...

Summary: Steve Vai rules the world again
Review: Upon hearing the "Alive in an Ultra World" album for the first time, i was, quite simply, blown away. Having drooled over the Fire Garden album, i thought that i had heard the most advanced evolution of technical guitar playing. I hadn't - Ultra World is better. Vai is truly supernatural in his ability, and the way in which he applies this ability on this record is masterful. "Jibboom" has to be the single most intense finger workout i have ever come across. Every track on the CD and in this book has something to offer the aspiring Vai. I would highly recommend it, but only to more advanced guitarists. Had i heard this when i started learning, i would have given up immediately and probably cried for months before committing suicide. Vai = Genius. Incredible.
