  Style

  Steve Vai's technique covers both traditional rock and metal, but stands apart from that of his peers by utilizing Vai's love and mastery of exotic melodies. His instrumental titles and music reflect both humor and tender sensibilities, often effectively unifying the title's theme, a preference culled from his periods of development under fellow greats Frank Zappa and Joe Satriani.

  
  One of Vai's signature tricks is the clever use of a Wah-wah pedal to simulate a human voice.
