_______________________
   / Steve Vai            /  I think Vai is expressing dedication in this song.
  / For the Love of God  /  I don't know if Vai is actually religious, but
 / Passion and Warfare  /  nevermind, I think the song can actually represent
/______________________/  strong dedication or passion for anything, really.

Except for the lead play this song is actually very simple!
The backing music is just switching between two parts with rather simple
chords for guitar. Lowest is when to play the parts. Yup, it's very simple,
so get on with it - good luck finding someone on lead guitar, by the way ;)
