I've never understood why Steve Vai is referred to as a "solo guitarist" when he usually plays with a full band of musicians backing him up. If you want percussion or big chords with single-note melodies ringing out on top, just do it yourself!
I originally named the piece "Affliction". A chum suggested "Aurora". We arrived at a peaceful compromise.
