Guitar virtuoso Steve Vai is attempting to break a Guinness World Record. In conjunction with the Berklee College of Music, Vai will try to teach the world's largest online guitar lesson on March 3. Vai is a Berklee alum and the main page to the event is here.
Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel is doing his part to break the record, as well. The guitarist is making sure excitement about the event goes to 11, with a video promoting Vai and the guitar lesson, which will take place at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.
Vai will focus on developing guitarists' personal technique and will also take questions toward the end of the 30-minute lesson. Check out what Tufnel said about the event in the video:
“Lonnie came into an Austin club where we were playing. I asked him if he would play, but Lonnie, the master of the Flying V, said he wouldn't touch anything but a Gibson”: When Stevie Ray Vaughan met his oft-overlooked, pioneering, V-wielding guitar hero
“I think I sort of smoked something, and I didn't really know what I was doing”: George Harrison typically sketched out his solos in advance – his iconic lead break on this classic Beatles track was a notable exception
