Steve Vai's Flex-Able - no lessons/covers?

Question

So, I'm really digging Vai's Flex-Able album and like most things I dig I was look to see if there's any covers/lessons or at the very least some crappy/wrong tabs a la Ultimate Guitar. Occasionally, I'll get lucky by straining my eyes on a pixelated sheet music sample but this record seems to have nada in terms of anything. I found one guy on YouTUbe covering the middle part of Little Green Men but that's it.

I'm just curious on opinions feedback on why there's virtually nothing for this album. Too obscure? Too difficult?

Specifically I started learning "Lovers Are Crazy: by ear but then started peeking to see if any "cheats" existed. None do as far as I can tell.

Anyway, sorry if this type of question isn't allowed here. Feel free to point me in the right direction if not.

I discovered Steve Vai when Guitar Player mag included a flexidisc of Blue Powder with one of their issues back in '86. I was completely blown away. Google it & you may find reference to it, plus the tab. Eugene's Trick Bag is pretty easy to find in tab also.

I discovered him in Crossroads and was also blown away. Interestingly enough, the latest issue of GW has Head Cuttin' Duel, which is pretty cool. Thanks for the tip.

$20USD and you could buy the actual songbook from his site. If you're into that sort of thing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked, and while there's a song book for Leftovers, there's not one for Flex-Able itself. He even has mini lessons and links to transcriptions to most of his songs (for pay)...but alas, the majority of Flex-Able is not there. Weird.
