A doc like this comes along and fills in blanks that you didn't know existed. Especially cool was all the info on Vai's childhood, and high school years. Of course, as a MAMMOTH Zappa fan, I already knew of his pedigree with Frank, how he hooked up with him , and how Steve considers him 1 of the 3 most influential mentors ever, in his life. Very well researched, presented and paced documentary. Humorous at times as well. Lots of quotes from Vai that I'd never heard him discuss before. A must for Vai freaks. A must for any musician, I'd even say. I'm a drummer, but I bought "Flex-able" because I knew Steve from Zappa. Mr. Vai is also seemingly just a genuinely good human being that has done a lot of self-analysis to become comfortable in his own skin and to achieve the goals he sets for himself. A very well-made piece of work here. Highly recommended.
