Hi Dante, I'm Gaia, I'm 15 and for me you are one of the best guitarists ... I wish you the best, even if you are already one of the best .... I admire you so much. A very big hug from Cefalu, Sicily (I really hope to see you soon here in Sicily)🥰🥰😄😄
@@DanteFrisiello for sure you are living your best life and best journey 😁 greetings from andorra, hope meet you and see again the band for the next european tour if you pass again in spain i miss this year but for the next i will be there 😜
Happy birthday! Very cool to see you are still rockin' the Abasi, and what an awesome way to celebrate your birthday. Hope to one day catch a show, and maybe if we're really lucky we'll see you back around livestreaming one day. Makes me incredibly happy to see someone become successful in what they love to do. Rock on 😈🤘
Again, listening to someone who is talking with so much passion about his job, the job that happens to be his dreams-come-true is so satisfying for us, mere mortals ;) All the best and let the moment last forever!
I can't quit putting my finger on it, but for some reason, you remind me of a young Michael Lee Ferkans. His playing style is quite a bit different now. I remember going into russo's music in Omaha a couple of months after Passion and Warfare came out. Michael picked up a jem and played some of those songs like it was nothing. I absolutely love his first album. I'm pretty sure Michael & Vai have played together.
I met you 28 years ago. My first question for you was to ask how old you were. Your toddler self said “ I recently turned two years old”. I knew then that I was dealing with a boy that somehow was smarter than I was. Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday sir.. Wow.. 30.. I'm twice as old and a year! 😛Great that you could have such a great birthday on tour with your guitar hero man.. I noticed you have huge long feet like me.. 😛 Man, tell Jeremy I love his Drumming and the bass players playing.. They don't get enough love if you ask me..🙂 What is the guitar you're using may I ask? I saw the video about it, but I can't remember.. It's very unique.. It's funny, because there is a music prof on YT that did a video about the same and asked the question "Who is this guitar for" which I'm going to have to find and send him a link of you ripping! 😛 I think his name is Andre Flludd believe it or not from New York. You're the same age as my son roughly. He's 29.. He just graduated medical school. Will start his Residency in June.. Anyway, great playing man at the end of the video.. and learning by absorbing all you are is the way to do it.. Hard work will always pay off sir! Be well sir and safe my friend on all your travels..
Thank you! It was definitely the best birthday I could have asked for... it is an Abasi Concepts guitar, model is called Larada Legion. Fantastic guitar, I'm obsessed with them. Thanks for all your support and kind words!
Happy birthday! By the way, how long did it take to learn all parts to be able to play with Vai? Did you start just after getting info that you will replace Dave or you were playing it also earlier?
Thanks! I started transcribing all of Dave's parts last year before the tour was starting. Both because I wanted to learn and know what has happening musically, and because Dave had told me he wanted to try and get me playing roles in the show. So in case my number got called for whatever reason, I'd be ready for anything. I'd say to go from knowing nothing to being able to play through the set (and have all the tones and patches ready) took me 2 months of work. I didn't get the official call for the gig until October/November of the '22 USA tour when I was teching, but I had started sitting in on songs and occasional soundchecks on both the '22 Europe and USA tours.
Happy birthday but that may be too late now ! Even at your level, you have to work, work, work hard and even progress still, because i think the abilities in music playing are infinite because music is infinite... I love in the sequence of "Incantation" when you play the lower part Intro, and Steve goes on with the higher one !
You should've told us it was your birthday beforehand, especially in a country that has a cuisine with this much variety. You would've left with 20lbs extra on you and enough cake to eat for the next year Although, now when I come to think of it, during the show Steve mentioned you work so who knows haha 🏋
@@DanteFrisiello i will definitely keep it and store it in safe place bro its so cool you just threw it to me but it fall to the corner of the stage and i couldn't took it but then the security guy came and gave it to me.That was in Bulgaria btw.
Seviliyorsun reis

Well he is an absolute beast so thank you for the compliment!
Well you have Dave Weiner to thank about that. And don't you forget it.
You are living the dream bro, big inspiration for all of us. 🔥🎶🙌🏽
Thank you! Appreciate your support

Thank you!!
the show was amazing, it was my first time seeing a guitar god live while meeting a new unexpected one. thank u so much dude
You are far too kind.... thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed the show
What a great day April 18 is my birthday also, but I just turned 58 😂😂😂😂😂. Hello from Philly
Hello! Birthday brothers!
Happy Birthday sir.. Wow.. 30.. I'm twice as old and a year! 😛Great that you could have such a great birthday on tour with your guitar hero man..
I noticed you have huge long feet like me.. 😛
Man, tell Jeremy I love his Drumming and the bass players playing.. They don't get enough love if you ask me..🙂
What is the guitar you're using may I ask? I saw the video about it, but I can't remember.. It's very unique.. It's funny, because there is a music prof on YT that did a video about the same and asked the question "Who is this guitar for" which I'm going to have to find and send him a link of you ripping! 😛 I think his name is Andre Flludd believe it or not from New York.
You're the same age as my son roughly. He's 29.. He just graduated medical school. Will start his Residency in June..
Anyway, great playing man at the end of the video.. and learning by absorbing all you are is the way to do it.. Hard work will always pay off sir!
Be well sir and safe my friend on all your travels..

@@DanteFrisiello Absolutely sir! Be well my friend..
i watched you live on your birthday, hope you liked here XD
Loved it! Thank you!!
Happy birthday!

I WAS THEREEEEEEEEEE
ayyyeeeee and it was a fantastic night!
Happy birthday but that may be too late now ! Even at your level, you have to work, work, work hard and even progress still, because i think the abilities in music playing are infinite because music is infinite... I love in the sequence of "Incantation" when you play the lower part Intro, and Steve goes on with the higher one !
Super fun to play live!
The 30s are awesome. The 30s are the wiser 20s. By the way, are you still doing online lessons? Doubt you have time while out on tour.
Yes absolutely - I'm booking lessons currently for the week of May 22. Send me a DM on instagram!! @dantefrisiello is my handle
Happy birthday! Did Steve make you a tofu Turkey cheese cake😉
Haha just normal chocolate, his favorite thing
You should've told us it was your birthday beforehand, especially in a country that has a cuisine with this much variety. You would've left with 20lbs extra on you and enough cake to eat for the next year
Although, now when I come to think of it, during the show Steve mentioned you work so who knows haha 🏋
I work out so that I can eat EVERYTHING hahahah
That blows my mind you are 30. I honestly thought you were early 20s.
It's all that stress of my corporate world career that kept me young
C mon tell us the story how you got the gig of a life time!! 🎉
I'll have to make a video about this... in the meantime I have discussed it in other comments on my videos and on my Tik Tok!
i just got your guitar pick.
Now shred with it!!
@@DanteFrisiello i will definitely keep it and store it in safe place bro its so cool you just threw it to me but it fall to the corner of the stage and i couldn't took it but then the security guy came and gave it to me.That was in Bulgaria btw.
kanka sıkıldık valla ne yalan söyleyeyim fıstı konser neyse başarılar aksd lqwd
I'm sorry I don't understand!
