Steve Vai
Steve Vai was born in 1960 in Carls Place, New York. At the age of 18, he began his music career by transcribing a rather complex Frank Zappa song on notebook paper and submitting it to the artist. Zappa mailed a plane to Vai after reading the page over, who ticked a few out to Los Angeles and joined the band. Another virtuoso who has been characterized as a highly individualistic player is Vai.

Ritchie Blackmore
Ritchie Blackmore, who is a highly accomplished guitarist and composer, is a co-founder of Deep Purple. The hard-punching of single guitar notes combines his free-flowing jam style of playing with softer, almost pipe organ sounds to produce a sound that has not even been duplicated. Now 75, for his fantastic riffs and his classically inspired solos, he is widely praised.
