Ok well mind is blown now so it's time to smoke a fatty and relax on that note. Rewinding this and digging it even deeper this time. Thanks for another creation Mr. VAI Sir !
for me the impressive part is he didn't spent 6 minutes shredding three different instruments, but composed something tasteful that actually justifies the existence of such a monstrosity.
I think you are gonna buy this guitar too. Would suit your vintage pedals and amps...Your collection is insane. I would love to see you play this guitar
Hell yea, I personally wouldn't have thought that he'd use all of it at once in one session, but holy shit... he did the job of at least 3 people in one instrument, but hey we're talking about Steve Vai after all, so that shouldn't be too big of a surprise lol
this somehow feels like its from a thousand years in the future and a thousand years in the past, this man truly is a multidimensional being that came to this planet during our time to bless us with mind bending music
You may be more right than you know, because the inspiration for his album "Passion and Warfare" came a LOT from his vivid dreams he had growing up, you hear the ethereal a lot in what he does. Here is one of Steve Vai's quotes ""I had always kept journals, and built the songs around some of the events in these writings. One such event was this other-worldly state of mind I occasionally experienced as a very young child. Lying in a half sleep state, my perception would become very clear. That seems to be the best way to explain it. Sort of a super state of consciousness where everything was as clear as... well, like they say, there are no words. My ears would be filled with this ringing sound but not quite like a bell. It was more of a toning and it would draw me into it. The closer I let it pull me, the more resonant it became. I was frightened and never let it actually pull me in all the way because the closer I got, the more open my consciousness became and it was somewhat frightening. I was uneasy and unwilling to let myself go. There were visions too but... never mind. I started to write a book that detailed these other worldly adventures, but other career obligations at that point prevented the completion of the book. Parts were rehashed and turned into a script called Fire Coma and later Fire Garden. I believe these experiences of heightened awareness come about when the mind is at ease and not motoring from one thing to another. When you're in that in-between stage, not quite awake but the consciousness has not quite dropped down to the sleep state yet and becomes aware of it's surroundings."" from; www.vai.com/AllAboutSteve/disconotes_passion.html
I'll always remember hearing The Attitude Song in 1984 for the first time. I ran into a friend in Berkeley who had it on a cassette tape. Hearing that forever changed how I played and even looked at what was possible with the guitar.
@@ryuzaki4638 what did Vai ever do to you? why on earth are you going around leaving such hateful comments everywhere in this comment section? do you really have no life? are you down THAT BAD? please get help!
Innovative?? This sounds exactly the same as his sound since the 80s and 90s... And multi-guitars have also been a common thing since the 80s (possibly 70s with Yes/Steve Howe?). This is very skilled, sure, but I don't understand why so many people think it's some pioneering sound. It just isn't and in fact sounds extremely dated.
This is the most Steve Vai thing ever. I have never heard a Steve Vai song I’ve liked, but he has made a career of doing things his way and pushing his technical boundaries. If he’s not an artist, I don’t know who is.

"I have never heard a Steve Vai song I’ve liked" - excuse me? I'm not saying you have to like his music, but there's not one song you don't at least like a little bit? His talent is simply amazing. There are some songs I don't like, but I think his body of work there has to be at least one song you like.
This was my favorite song on Passion and Warfare. I can't believe that it still gives me that warm heart feeling. A sense of peace. Thank you Mr. Vai! You'll be my hero til my last breath.🤘
The only reason to be Steve Vai is so you can rock 4 different stringed instruments at once while kickin' it in a misty dungeon with a headband on... which is a great reason to be Steve Vai.
I love how he creates a unique instrument, a unique song , a perfect utilization of the instruments performance and turns it all into a killer sounding composition with the performance to go along with it.
Of course he is a great player….just wish he would put less emphasis on the show biz side of his things, and maybe stray a little bit away from his signature Frank Zappaish overall sound!
This man can make anything with strings look so insanely easy And you can tell that he just feels the music like NOBODY ELSE ever has! Every one of his original songs is like a peek inside his soul!

The instrument itself is a work of art, the amazing sounds created by the master himself is an elaborate show. . Pure genius. This is art. Eargasm at its finest. Anyone else listening to this at 2am?
I agree, the instrument, the design, the backdrop, the directing, the whole thing, was a real work of art. Its nice to see such feeling still put into this, every note is so important, every sound fx, the attention to detail here shows.
Been listening to this guy for 20 years and somehow, he STILL manages to blow me away. His multi guitar work never disappoints. I was blown away with I Know Your Here, and now this. Unbelievable. 👏🏾👍🏾
If you’re looking for guitar mastery that goes beyond the paradigm of the eighties (no disrespect at all to Steve Vai) check out any video by “Ichika Nito.” Watch a few videos and you’ll know what I mean. Not a virtuoso for the sake of it, the song always comes first - but man in his technical skill outstrips some of the masters of the past.
I mean. Steve is one of the true rock stars exist today. His aura, passion, ingenuity. He could very sit back but no he always challenges and innovates. It’s beautiful. Always appreciated his passion for guitar and music. Great guy
Watched this with my jaw dropped all the way through. Congratulations to Mr Vai for always pushing the envelope on the instrument, what an inspiration to younger generations of musicians!
Just when you think Steve Vai has reached the ultimate level, he goes and composes a piece of music that takes the bar even higher. I’m blown away by this performance and don’t really know what else to say.
@@Matt_Holcomb While Knappsack was an incredible piece of music, I enjoyed Teeth of the Hydra much more because the tempo was much slower and it’s not as busy. I could actually hear what he was playing. And what you don’t play is just as important as what you do play sometimes. I could hear the emotions and atmosphere he was trying to create here. Playing a lot of notes really fast doesn’t always create the best piece of music or tell the best story per se. It’s more important than ever, especially in instrumental music, to use the sounds to influence the audience’s state of mind because there aren’t any lyrics. You have to use the sounds to create a mood. Simply put, I liked the mood I got from Teeth of the Hydra more than the mood I got from Knappsack. Both are excellent. I just like Hydra more. Just my personal preference. If you like Knappsack, that’s cool. There is no right or wrong when it comes to music, just preferences. Have a good one. I’m just glad we can agree than Vai and his music are great.
This Man has been at the CROSSROADS........for most of his life And Slaying it every single time!!!! With a sound that no-one, anywhere, has ever heard before!!!! HUGE respect from me.
When I first heard the album, my ears couldn't conceive all the sounds coming from one instrument. Now that I watch Steve perform it, it's a totally different experience. That is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Period. Edit: I've honestly never been more inspired to explore music. The mental clarity I got from seeing that is astonishing. Thank you, Steve.
I hear ya on that. This is my favourite track on the album but now seeing him do all that on one guitar, overlapping the instruments, it’s mind bogglingly impressive and Steve just confirms time and again (think knappsack) why he’s the greatest of all time.
Mr Vai is a true example of a genuine musician. No matter what a master can do yesterday, that has nothing to do with reaching for evolution. This man continues to evolve musically and that's incredible. Love to you Mr Vai
Oh fuck, this is giving me dangerous ideas. But then Steve Vai has been giving me dangerous musical ideas since I was 12 years old. My gratitude for his art & the inspiration is immeasurable.
I love that this triple necked monstrosity was used in a fresh, creative, and musical manner without an ounce of novelty present throughout this entire song. Then again, this is Steve Vai we're talking, here. One of America's greatest musical treasures strikes again as only he can! This is just plain brilliant, and I expect no less from the man.
It's so funny, there's so many people these days with multiple neck guitars or 10 times the strings they normally have all doing stuff on TH-cam and whatever. Then along comes Steve Vai and shows you how it's really done. This man never disappoints. I'm a drummer and I'm not usually too into guitar stuff, but this guy has mesmerized me since the mid 80's. He was a big part of my childhood and it's nice to see the guy never stopped growing, his ego all seems to be contained within his guitar playing. He never comes off as the absolute legend that he is.
He’s outdone himself again! One of the most iconic, creative and talented guitarists ever. Tops on anybody’s list. Love the multi-neck and the bell bottoms just cinched it. Great!!
Very well said. Everything about the guitar that might look like a "gimmick" on paper shows itself to be integral to the composition in the hands of Vai. The video does a marvelous job of showing all the ways he conducts this all-in-one guitar orchestra in support of his musical vision. Bravo!
@@MikeMichaels1987 ....Well, you're the troll of the day i suppose ! ^^ I like Eddie so much but historically you're saying shit, Vaï have a kind of experience in other styles that Eddie did not have, his use of various harmonies and complex arrangements into the different Zappa bands overclass Van Halen, you can't say it's the same kind of music, Vaï is not only playing hard-rock or hard fusion ! It's false and it's the reverse of your words, Eddie had never been in the steps of Steve, but i think you've never tried to really listen to Zappa and friends !?
This man is an institution in himself. An absolute monster. Ever since the Passion and Warfare album and now this, his journey is something to remember.
Wow! There's something so hypnotic about this performance. I can't imagine how long it would have taken to figure out how to write and play something on this beast, then to turn it into a cohesive performance. Absolutely stunning.
Wasn’t it the other way around, he had something to write and needed Ibanez to build it since years ago. Forgot which interview it was but it’s was definitely regarding the Hydra.
Just read an interview and he said it took him six weeks to learn how to play the Hydra. That's a serious learning curve to work with just to feel comfortable with playing it.
Saw Mr. Vai in New Haven last night. Just. Freaking. Wow. What really impresses me is that while he can shred at a million notes per second and do things that shouldn't even be possible, he is really an incredibly expressive guitarist. He also clearly loves what he's doing and had great rapport with the crowd. His band was top of the line, too.
Yeah, I mentioned this on another video, but his emoting as a guitarist is top notch. He really thinks he's getting that bend slightly over the top by giving it stink lips. It's awesome to watch.
You are my god. I decided to play the electric guitar with 14 years when I see you in Crossroads. And I see you in live ,3 years ago here, in Valencia. These are bad days for Valencia, we have the biggest inundation of the history. A message for your fans Will be very wellcome. Thx Stivy
@@ryuzaki4638 You should give him a shot man, he’s more than gimmicks. Vai has not only grown as a guitarist but more importantly as a composer. His newer stuff is way more unique and interesting compared to his older cheesier stuff. Listen to Teeth of the Hydra a couple of times, it tends to grow on you
It would take Steve Vai to properly express and push the limits of such a beautiful instrument. They are a match made for one another. Unique, original, mysterious, and otherworldly. I imagine he is having great fun exploring the possibilities with this gem.
Steve was such a big influence to me when I started playing guitar when I was little. His musical ability is so inspiring and his creativity just keeps getting better and better.
Was at his concert in year 2023. What surprised most is that Steve was playing note for note - it is tens of thousands of notes - his compositions, exactly same notes he was playing like 15 years ago and how it sounds in my head. Not a single note was added, removed or changed. It is incredible!
@@christophecapon8626 unless they can come up with the most likely very large amount of cash it would require to have something similar built! I'm curious as to what that guitar did cost to build!
I felt chills, a lump in my throat, a tingling sensation in the back of my neck, and a sense of something new that I hadn't seen or heard before… even from him. Amazingly unique outdoing himself, enjoying hearing his own notes and what only he can do, I have no words to describe my feelings of joy thank steve for your neverending magic
I am so beyond happy I live in the same time as this legend. Decades long career, still pushing the envelope. No other guitarist on the face of this green earth can touch Steve Vai.
Steve I started listening to you when "Flexible" came out and you have surprised, astonished and reached me emotionally in so many different ways over all those years and albums. I have an old high school friend that to this day only has to say the words "Little Green Men" and we both crack smile and chuckle like little kids (we're both in our 60's). Thank you for being the exemplary human and musical explorer that you are. We music lovers are so grateful for all you've given us.
Okay... after extended listening/watching... and processing, I just had to add that... Steve , you ALWAYS start with (and maintain) musical integrity/ingenuity in your compositions and playing. Even your extended solos are melodic while being technically extraordinary... demonstrating mastery and taste concurrently. This instrument... the Hydra... and the piece you composed for it are a perfect example of your imagination, understanding and respect of the musicality that the Hydra could/should demonstrate (in the right hands of course). Your ability to conceive, compose and then execute the various parts is a true testament to you arguably deserving GOAT status. I've enjoyed your playing since the Frank Zappa days, and this guitar, song and performance have demonstrated that the greatest are always challenging themselves to reach new heights. I'm sure there will be other "Hyrda Performers" that copy/follow, but congrats on being THE revolutionary pioneer behind this instrument, composition and performance.
Man Steve is such a hero and I haven't paid attention to him for awhile because I got listening to other stuff but he is the guy that really blew my beginner mind when I was first learning guitar. He's such a creative player and continues to do some new stuff that isn't quite expected. He's done so much for rock guitar! I've seen him in concert 3 times and was never not blown away. I hope to meet him maybe some day!
Steve is a guitar-god. Prince was similarly multi-talented in many many instruments. He played to my certain knowledge - with expertise - piano, guitar, bass and drums, and may well have been able to play orchestral instruments like woodwinds and brass as well.
I’ve been a fan of Steve’s music for a few decades…and he constantly improves with each day that passes. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece with us Steve, you are certainly the best guitarist out there today. This one touches the soul if you truly “listen”!
Looks like you missed the small harp at the bottom of the instrument :D (Which he was also playing and why he was making wide arcs with his strumming hand).
I've counted at least five different instruments in this guitar - Regular guitar - "Sitar", half fret half fretless - Bass, half fret half fretless - Lyre (or kind of) - Some simple synthesizers I'm still impressed on how he not only can conduct them all beautifully, but also in how he came up with such BRILLIANT composition! Long live Steve Vai!
I think what you call a Sitar I'd classify more easterly like a Japanese koto... but I dig where you are coming from. Knowing Steve Vai, he probably meant it to play as both ( if not more) anyway 🤣
The guitars design i so damn cool The little detail of one of three “hydra” necks being headless is genius story telling in itself Vai’s magic is literally in the little details and embellishments
absolutely this!! He's such a true artist and master of his craft. So in awe, always in awe at how endlessly creative and enlightened he is. Truly born to shred and destroy the hell out of a guitar in technique and in design!!
That is one of the most impressive things I've ever witnessed! Props to you Steve, you are a legend. You inspired me to pick the guitar back up, you inspired me a kid looking through magazines and seeing you.
Hey, don't say something like that ! Do you want the Men in Black to come ? Maybe they " blitzdings" Steve and he only know "House of the Rising Sun" after that. There is no reason to think about ExT. OK ? No Reason.
Let me introduce you to Michael Angelo Batio. th-cam.com/video/aGf5NxLQoEo/w-d-xo.html or Luca Stricagnoli - th-cam.com/video/RMfAfgadtB4/w-d-xo.html or Richie Sambora - th-cam.com/video/Mqyrt7RCgsg/w-d-xo.html
@@stevem719 Dude, it's not that Steve plays a three-neck guitar, but that he plays on all three necks at the same time. You went a bit far with bringing up Richie Sambora - he's a good guitarist and all, but don't...
@@guy_autordie They are definitely, but most of them end up not bringing anything new to the table. Vai’s composition in this is very unique, sometimes it takes a few listens but the best compositions always do
That was so sick, it felt like a 2 min vid... Jesus man, Steve Vai is so cool. Love watching him basically do victory laps at this point. Been watching a ton of Marcin and Henson/Page lately but this guy still brings it with such a fun and joyous energy. Thank you for this video and magical creation!
This is the new era in instrumental music. We are witnessing a history. Im just speechless. I was a hundred percent sure no one is gonna surprise me anymore until I’ve watched this!
Well it's good to know that Steve is staying hydrated....unbelievable all the way around! Thank you Mr.Vai...so great and out of this world but so humble and down to earth...
Once again, Steve takes guitar playing to another level. Amazing. REALLY hoping he plays this on the upcoming tour. Knowing Steve, he most probably will. Can't wait.
I hear that there's some grumbling between the three guitar players. Well, I mean between the one on the 12 string, the electric lead player and the bassist. They have had a few flare-ups in the studio. Hopefully they will work it all out...
Thanks, Steve. Not only for creating and hexagonalizing incredible sounds, techniques, and strings; not only for composing and interpreting a song that transcends space and time. I thank you for representing the strange complexity of what makes us something more than human.
I've been a Vai fan since childhood and it makes me so happy to see the guy still evolving, still experimenting and pushing boundaries. What an inspiration. Thank you for the music Steve. Love you man.

That's what blew my mind, too. Vai used the entire instrument the whole time.
That’s about the best explanation possible…love it whenever people think outside the box…..
There are 4 instruments
Technically 6 instruments. The 12 string and bass have fretted and fretless parts.
Well said
Hearing this song first and then seeing it played now, I appreciate it on a whole other level. Awesome work, Steve, you did it again!

How about the song title? Isn’t that cool too,I mean for the video n the song title to be seen together.
The instrument itself is a work of art, the amazing sounds created by the master himself is an elaborate show. . Pure genius. This is art. Eargasm at its finest. Anyone else listening to this at 2am?
midnight here and just blown away by this one! A lot going on here!!
eargasm? wonderful neologism! 🤩👏
3 am bruh 🤝
I agree, the instrument, the design, the backdrop, the directing, the whole thing, was a real work of art. Its nice to see such feeling still put into this, every note is so important, every sound fx, the attention to detail here shows.
2pm here but still hits hard as a rock!
Been listening to this guy for 20 years and somehow, he STILL manages to blow me away. His multi guitar work never disappoints. I was blown away with I Know Your Here, and now this. Unbelievable. 👏🏾👍🏾
And don't forget Fever Dream!

If he hasn't bored you in 20 yrs ,why will it happen now?😉
Yes.alot of people just don't know 🙄that vai is the best at being the different guitar player who is on a level no one can reach.thats the truth!!
Same ❤
Steve Vai is The Guitar Hero we needed.
Seriously, very few guitarists can consistently blow my mind again and again. Steve vai is an absolute creative legend.
Agreed. Absolutely out of this world.
If you’re looking for guitar mastery that goes beyond the paradigm of the eighties (no disrespect at all to Steve Vai) check out any video by “Ichika Nito.”
Watch a few videos and you’ll know what I mean. Not a virtuoso for the sake of it, the song always comes first - but man in his technical skill outstrips some of the masters of the past.
@@kuro2797 Yeah been watching his videos for ages now, maybe OP has also? Thanks for the suggestion though.
I mean. Steve is one of the true rock stars exist today. His aura, passion, ingenuity. He could very sit back but no he always challenges and innovates. It’s beautiful. Always appreciated his passion for guitar and music. Great guy
Watched this with my jaw dropped all the way through. Congratulations to Mr Vai for always pushing the envelope on the instrument, what an inspiration to younger generations of musicians!
His face says it all. Can't tell where he ends and the music begins, it's all one.
Just when you think Steve Vai has reached the ultimate level, he goes and composes a piece of music that takes the bar even higher. I’m blown away by this performance and don’t really know what else to say.
Idk dude Knappsack was close
@@Matt_Holcomb
While Knappsack was an incredible piece of music, I enjoyed Teeth of the Hydra much more because the tempo was much slower and it’s not as busy. I could actually hear what he was playing. And what you don’t play is just as important as what you do play sometimes. I could hear the emotions and atmosphere he was trying to create here. Playing a lot of notes really fast doesn’t always create the best piece of music or tell the best story per se. It’s more important than ever, especially in instrumental music, to use the sounds to influence the audience’s state of mind because there aren’t any lyrics. You have to use the sounds to create a mood.
Simply put, I liked the mood I got from Teeth of the Hydra more than the mood I got from Knappsack. Both are excellent. I just like Hydra more. Just my personal preference. If you like Knappsack, that’s cool. There is no right or wrong when it comes to music, just preferences. Have a good one. I’m just glad we can agree than Vai and his music are great.
@@Matt_Holcomb Knappsack was purely technical. This here has melody
@@xXAlmdudlerXx oh yeah 100%. This to is technical to. But I agree this has way more feeling. I have watched it atleast 30 times since last night.
This Man has been at the CROSSROADS........for most of his life
And Slaying it every single time!!!! With a sound that no-one, anywhere, has ever heard before!!!!
HUGE respect from me.
;)
When I first heard the album, my ears couldn't conceive all the sounds coming from one instrument.
Now that I watch Steve perform it, it's a totally different experience.
That is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Period.
Edit: I've honestly never been more inspired to explore music. The mental clarity I got from seeing that is astonishing. Thank you, Steve.
I hear ya on that. This is my favourite track on the album but now seeing him do all that on one guitar, overlapping the instruments, it’s mind bogglingly impressive and Steve just confirms time and again (think knappsack) why he’s the greatest of all time.
M U L T I T R A C K S
I cannot watch this enough times. How the hell does he even LIFT this thing?!
🎯🎯🤔
Mr Vai is a true example of a genuine musician. No matter what a master can do yesterday, that has nothing to do with reaching for evolution. This man continues to evolve musically and that's incredible. Love to you Mr Vai
I'm surprised it doesn't have a full drum set attached to it.
Midi widget 🤔
dude.... hahahahaha
Don't give him ideas. 😂
His career will be limited not by musical ideas or technique but by how much weight he can carry on his shoulders on stage lol
You weren't looking at the back of the guitar(s?), he was playing the drums with his dick and balls that whole time.
Oh fuck, this is giving me dangerous ideas. But then Steve Vai has been giving me dangerous musical ideas since I was 12 years old. My gratitude for his art & the inspiration is immeasurable.
THE Jon Gomm Legend !! and yes , WHAT a stonker from Stevie
Steve has been plaguing my mind with his dangerous ideas all these years too! Since the age of 16 he has filled my mind with his creative insanity!
I love u both!
@@bobbymack4873 yy yuy yy 66 yy y
he as the thing, and he is giving it for free thats nuts.
That guitar should be in a museum of modern art. Work of art.
Steve Vai further proving that he’s transcended humanity when it comes to making music.
Ayo what happened to the Zeref pfp
Even on the steve vai video, Just Some Guy without a mustache I fucking love you dude
Just needs an electric keyboard near the back!
I never thought that you would ever be here
Only Steve Vai could pull off this musical madness, what a treat for our ears! Thanks for the years of innovative music we've all enjoyed
I know I didn't just watch this man play a guitar, bass, and sitar at once. This man isn't a Hydra, he is Vishnu
Hahha best comment
Don’t forget the harp
I think the top neck’s a twelve string, but it’s extremely impressive though, right?
this is him with only 2 arms, imagine the music he could create if he had all the arms necessary to play all the instruments at the same time
You have never lied, and you have never missed brotha.
Impressive masterpiece.
I love that this triple necked monstrosity was used in a fresh, creative, and musical manner without an ounce of novelty present throughout this entire song. Then again, this is Steve Vai we're talking, here. One of America's greatest musical treasures strikes again as only he can! This is just plain brilliant, and I expect no less from the man.
This Dude is an Alien!!!! Steve is absolutely amazing!!! Sick guitar work and great writer!! 👍 🤟
Watching him and hearing him play is like a magic show...incredible Steve!!
It's so funny, there's so many people these days with multiple neck guitars or 10 times the strings they normally have all doing stuff on TH-cam and whatever. Then along comes Steve Vai and shows you how it's really done. This man never disappoints. I'm a drummer and I'm not usually too into guitar stuff, but this guy has mesmerized me since the mid 80's. He was a big part of my childhood and it's nice to see the guy never stopped growing, his ego all seems to be contained within his guitar playing. He never comes off as the absolute legend that he is.
Still the most impressive guitar vid of this decade. The power, skill, taste, dynamics and spacious phrasing are bar none.
He’s outdone himself again! One of the most iconic, creative and talented guitarists ever. Tops on anybody’s list. Love the multi-neck and the bell bottoms just cinched it. Great!!
This man’s imagination, intellect, creativity, persistence, and passion is unbelievable!!!
The King doing what the King does best. The song first. Always. What beautiful art ❤️
Well said. The song first.
Very well said. Everything about the guitar that might look like a "gimmick" on paper shows itself to be integral to the composition in the hands of Vai. The video does a marvelous job of showing all the ways he conducts this all-in-one guitar orchestra in support of his musical vision. Bravo!
King Eddie's gone, steve's just filling in the gaps.
@@MikeMichaels1987 ....Well, you're the troll of the day i suppose ! ^^
I like Eddie so much but historically you're saying shit, Vaï have a kind of experience in other styles that Eddie did not have, his use of various harmonies and complex arrangements into the different Zappa bands overclass Van Halen, you can't say it's the same kind of music, Vaï is not only playing hard-rock or hard fusion !
It's false and it's the reverse of your words, Eddie had never been in the steps of Steve, but i think you've never tried to really listen to Zappa and friends !?
@@MikeMichaels1987 nobody I mean nobody captured what Eddie did on guitar. You are right!
This man is an institution in himself. An absolute monster. Ever since the Passion and Warfare album and now this, his journey is something to remember.
Wow! There's something so hypnotic about this performance. I can't imagine how long it would have taken to figure out how to write and play something on this beast, then to turn it into a cohesive performance. Absolutely stunning.
For Steve it prolly took no time at all. I mean the man basically freestyles the halo theme sing
It took him 50 years to get there, then he made this up in a few hours 🙃
Wasn’t it the other way around, he had something to write and needed Ibanez to build it since years ago. Forgot which interview it was but it’s was definitely regarding the Hydra.
Just read an interview and he said it took him six weeks to learn how to play the Hydra. That's a serious learning curve to work with just to feel comfortable with playing it.
All that beautiful space surrounding everything. His hands are going like mad and yet it all sounds so tranquil. Thanks Steve!
Y
Saw Mr. Vai in New Haven last night. Just. Freaking. Wow.
What really impresses me is that while he can shred at a million notes per second and do things that shouldn't even be possible, he is really an incredibly expressive guitarist. He also clearly loves what he's doing and had great rapport with the crowd. His band was top of the line, too.
Yeah, I mentioned this on another video, but his emoting as a guitarist is top notch. He really thinks he's getting that bend slightly over the top by giving it stink lips. It's awesome to watch.
Want a cookie?
You are my god. I decided to play the electric guitar with 14 years when I see you in Crossroads. And I see you in live ,3 years ago here, in Valencia. These are bad days for Valencia, we have the biggest inundation of the history. A message for your fans Will be very wellcome. Thx Stivy
I've been waiting to see this "guitar"in action, I'm not disappointed, absolutely brilliant!!! Keep on rocking Steve!
*The genius, the Master of the space age guitar, Mr Steve Vai. Forever!*
Wrong, Ed Wynne is the master of space guitar, Vai is only gimmicks.
These are words by Mr. Brian May fm the concert at Guitar Legends - Expo '92 Sevilla!!!
Idk Kinda Hard to Compare with Space Ace
@@Rufko Yes dude, fan is fan. Well done.
@@ryuzaki4638 You should give him a shot man, he’s more than gimmicks. Vai has not only grown as a guitarist but more importantly as a composer. His newer stuff is way more unique and interesting compared to his older cheesier stuff. Listen to Teeth of the Hydra a couple of times, it tends to grow on you
Steve Vai is a genius 42 years on since we first saw him on TV hes still a legend he gets better with age like a fine wine.
He Play With Frank Zappa !!! 🎸
@@LIVEMusicHD Yeah I think his first performance was in 1980 with Zappa , That's where Vai got his weirdness from lol 😆
And he ain't that bad looking either! 😄😉
6.6.66 says it all, he is special
@@sandragriffiths9692 he turned 6 on 6.6.66 and the time was 6 somewhere :)
That is the wildest instrument I've ever seen! You go Steve! 👏
It would take Steve Vai to properly express and push the limits of such a beautiful instrument. They are a match made for one another. Unique, original, mysterious, and otherworldly. I imagine he is having great fun exploring the possibilities with this gem.
Steve was such a big influence to me when I started playing guitar when I was little. His musical ability is so inspiring and his creativity just keeps getting better and better.
Was at his concert in year 2023. What surprised most is that Steve was playing note for note - it is tens of thousands of notes - his compositions, exactly same notes he was playing like 15 years ago and how it sounds in my head. Not a single note was added, removed or changed. It is incredible!
How do people become so gifted...
Truly a blessing and gift....
His guitar teacher was Joe Satriani
WOW! But really ... WOW! You always expect Vai to be good but THIS is NEXT LEVEL.
I bet we won't see many covers of this song. :)
Lol. I literally snorted laughing at this.
You may see covers but it would require 3 guys at least...
Lol where do I buy my Hydra?
I'm picturing someone with all of these instruments separately by each appendage, harp and 12 string played with toes
@@christophecapon8626 unless they can come up with the most likely very large amount of cash it would require to have something similar built! I'm curious as to what that guitar did cost to build!
Showing all of us why he's the high priest and guru of the electric "guitar". The master....
The Legend
I felt chills, a lump in my throat, a tingling sensation in the back of my neck, and a sense of something new that I hadn't seen or heard before… even from him.
Amazingly unique outdoing himself, enjoying hearing his own notes and what only he can do,
I have no words to describe my feelings of joy
thank steve for your neverending magic
@Mariano Campos Those sound like covid symptoms. You should see a doctor. 😄
@@brianbrian1769 jajaka only emotion.
I am so beyond happy I live in the same time as this legend. Decades long career, still pushing the envelope. No other guitarist on the face of this green earth can touch Steve Vai.
Yea, satriani and vai r the goats
Steve I started listening to you when "Flexible" came out and you have surprised, astonished and reached me emotionally in so many different ways over all those years and albums. I have an old high school friend that to this day only has to say the words "Little Green Men" and we both crack smile and chuckle like little kids (we're both in our 60's). Thank you for being the exemplary human and musical explorer that you are. We music lovers are so grateful for all you've given us.
Steve Vai is amazing, you can really tell that he's a product of the 80s in the way he plays and the sounds he uses.
Steve Vai is a product of years of dedication. A unique artist. A guitar master. The best.
milli vanilli is the product of the 80s too.
Okay... after extended listening/watching... and processing, I just had to add that... Steve , you ALWAYS start with (and maintain) musical integrity/ingenuity in your compositions and playing. Even your extended solos are melodic while being technically extraordinary... demonstrating mastery and taste concurrently. This instrument... the Hydra... and the piece you composed for it are a perfect example of your imagination, understanding and respect of the musicality that the Hydra could/should demonstrate (in the right hands of course). Your ability to conceive, compose and then execute the various parts is a true testament to you arguably deserving GOAT status. I've enjoyed your playing since the Frank Zappa days, and this guitar, song and performance have demonstrated that the greatest are always challenging themselves to reach new heights. I'm sure there will be other "Hyrda Performers" that copy/follow, but congrats on being THE revolutionary pioneer behind this instrument, composition and performance.
Very well said
I got 💯 bucks to bet Hydra was designed for the song. Any takers?...
Man Steve is such a hero and I haven't paid attention to him for awhile because I got listening to other stuff but he is the guy that really blew my beginner mind when I was first learning guitar. He's such a creative player and continues to do some new stuff that isn't quite expected. He's done so much for rock guitar! I've seen him in concert 3 times and was never not blown away. I hope to meet him maybe some day!
I can’t remember the last time I had my mind so completely blown by a guitar performance. Absolutely amazing sound and skill
“In strings we trust”
You’ve inspired us again man!!
Thank you!!!!
Just astonished and grateful!!
blasphemous
The Producers: You can't play rythm, solo and base at the same time.
Steve: Yes.
You mean "Steve: "hold my beer"
You can't even spell 'bass' m8.
@@apersonontheinternet8034 😝
*and a harp
Haha, yes, I can't...
Bro is literally the final boss of guitars
This guy is a monster. Not just about his technique that is impressive but the storyteller he is in many songs like this
This guy....Holy crap. He keeps on getting more creative. A TRUE artist.
Imagine being this good at literally anything, unreal. Also kudos to whoever designed the guitar and the set, the asthetic is perfection.
Its like straight out of a sci-fi video game
Steve is a guitar-god. Prince was similarly multi-talented in many many instruments. He played to my certain knowledge - with expertise - piano, guitar, bass and drums, and may well have been able to play orchestral instruments like woodwinds and brass as well.
I’ve been a fan of Steve’s music for a few decades…and he constantly improves with each day that passes. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece with us Steve, you are certainly the best guitarist out there today. This one touches the soul if you truly “listen”!
This is absolutely incredible: playing three instruments at one time. Amazing timing and accuracy.
Actually four
Looks like you missed the small harp at the bottom of the instrument :D (Which he was also playing and why he was making wide arcs with his strumming hand).
He even had a full lick across all three necks during the solo.
The track is crap, like most Vai’s tracks
@@manuelpedrosd Love to hear your take there champ, loser
I've counted at least five different instruments in this guitar
- Regular guitar
- "Sitar", half fret half fretless
- Bass, half fret half fretless
- Lyre (or kind of)
- Some simple synthesizers
I'm still impressed on how he not only can conduct them all beautifully, but also in how he came up with such BRILLIANT composition!
Long live Steve Vai!
I think what you call a Sitar I'd classify more easterly like a Japanese koto... but I dig where you are coming from. Knowing Steve Vai, he probably meant it to play as both ( if not more) anyway 🤣
that's a 7 string guitar
th-cam.com/video/1ehGGTS83m0/w-d-xo.html
12-string guitar
7-string guitar
bass (4-string)
harp (13-string)
That little sitar lick was totally bad ass wasn't it!?
@@themightyjse220 I'm mesmerized by it!
That’s it. This guy wins at guitar. He has reached master level He is the greatest guitar player in the world.

@@Shredsgg Jimmy is alive and well as of this moment
have u also heard of micheal angelo batio?
Steve is still as magnificent as he was in the eighties. Bravo Steve Vai a true guitar genius.
The guitars design i so damn cool
The little detail of one of three “hydra” necks being headless is genius story telling in itself
Vai’s magic is literally in the little details and embellishments
And as a bonus. Headless guitars/basses have less weight
Exactly Dude 🎸
I can't believe i didn't catch that
absolutely this!! He's such a true artist and master of his craft. So in awe, always in awe at how endlessly creative and enlightened he is. Truly born to shred and destroy the hell out of a guitar in technique and in design!!
Absolutely jaw dropping.....the only thing left to ponder ...is what the case looks like for this guitar.
Or where is the strap holding it up?
The case is probably what you see in the video: it's easier to walk into the case of of the Hydra to play it than trying to to take it out 😜
Steve Vai is one of the most creative musicians in the modern era. So incredible!!!
He always was incredible, and now he is even better!
That is one of the most impressive things I've ever witnessed! Props to you Steve, you are a legend. You inspired me to pick the guitar back up, you inspired me a kid looking through magazines and seeing you.
That’s innovation, creativity and performance at its highest level. Extra terrestrial stuff here.
Hey, don't say something like that ! Do you want the Men in Black to come ? Maybe they " blitzdings" Steve and he only know "House of the Rising Sun" after that. There is no reason to think about ExT. OK ? No Reason.
Probably the most remarkable display of musicianship I have ever seen.
And yet this is not a hit tune.

@@guy_autordie They are definitely, but most of them end up not bringing anything new to the table. Vai’s composition in this is very unique, sometimes it takes a few listens but the best compositions always do
I recommend listening to Luca Stricagnoli. I am not a guitar expert at all, but that guy, he's truly the best I've seen
That was so sick, it felt like a 2 min vid...

Down to earth, yes, but also in Satch's words "Not Of This Earth" 😁
Once again, Steve takes guitar playing to another level. Amazing.
REALLY hoping he plays this on the upcoming tour. Knowing Steve, he most probably will. Can't wait.
I took my guitar to a new level - it's now on my roof.
Literally been playing exactly like this some the 80s. But yeah he's the best.
@@MikeMichaels1987 HILARIOUS! You were smart enough to keep it. Think about all of the ones who burned theirs, or threw it OFF of the roof!
I hear that there's some grumbling between the three guitar players. Well, I mean between the one on the 12 string, the electric lead player and the bassist. They have had a few flare-ups in the studio. Hopefully they will work it all out...
This is something on a completely different level. Instant classic.
Man he moves like water as he plays it. Beautiful
Thanks, Steve. Not only for creating and hexagonalizing incredible sounds, techniques, and strings; not only for composing and interpreting a song that transcends space and time. I thank you for representing the strange complexity of what makes us something more than human.
I've been a Vai fan since childhood and it makes me so happy to see the guy still evolving, still experimenting and pushing boundaries. What an inspiration. Thank you for the music Steve. Love you man.
Me before clicking the video: "I know Steve Vai is next level but there's no way he's gonna use all that together".
Me after watching the video: 🤡

You think guitars are your ally?
He was born into it; molded by it.
He didn't see tabs till he was a man.
And by then he found them blinding.
With this instrument, alternate tunings are key to play all three necks... but then you'd need Vai's skill too and eh, nah... no one gets there.
