      @@richardkranium2944 Its actually a patented Floyd called an Edge II Tremolo system, Innovated, designed by Steve and Joe Satch. Same principles as the Genuine Original Floyd but tweaked. If you ever get a chance to have a look at one, You will notice the saddling and where the Strings first make contact with metal are more rounded off, Thus preventing Blowouts. I've seen Steve live 3 times live and have never once seen him blow out a string. Amazing huh.
      Both my brother and myself own this particular model. Put simply, It is beautiful and has a real nice Strat feel to it but the neck itself is not as rounded but flatter. Rather hard to describe... It has Jumbo frets as Steve's hands are absolutely Huge and lanky..The EVO 2 Pickups are just amazing and you can pull more or less any tone you like after you have owned one for awhile. A tube amp is a must for these Guitars as thats when the wood ( Alder ) combined with the EVO's and Tone controls really and I mean Really come to life big time! - Cheers mate - Skorp, Western Australia

I used to work for a film composer and his orchestrator was even more talented than him. Vai could've well written the parts or the flesh of the orchestral arrangement and then given it to Opperman. My point is, having an orchestrator doesn't take away all the credit!

This has little to do with Mr. Vai or his talent, he just borrowed the saying, probably from his italian grandma, to name this beautiful song, probably thinking: "Please make it happen, for as much as we love god" and he did did the his best to succeed...

      Fact is...technique can be built, but not also musical talent :)

      I mean hours as in total hours, and days as in how man 24 hour intervals. Both of which could very well add up to years.
      I'm sure he's spent years total. Not sure about decades, though.
      Either way, he didn't get this good overnight, that's for sure. I strongly admire his determination.

    So, what I'm about to say is not disrespecting this song at all nor the musicians but, when listening to this song I was falling asleep but in a good way. You know the songs that just rock you to sleep? This song definitely did that for me! I literally had to restart it because I missed some of it! An amazing song! Much respect to Steve for the way he plays on that guitar!

    I remember when I first saw him live in Belgrade, Serbia in 2005. Although we saw many live videos of his performances we all listened to this in complete silence with our jaws dropped. It's something completely different watching him in person. After he finished performing this piece a guy standing next to me turned around and started pushing through the crowd towards the exit. His friend asked him where was he going and he yelled "I'm going home to throw away my guitar, get drunk and cry in the corner".

    Steve is the God of guitar. He should be considered one of the best composers of all time. He allows the guitar to breath and expresses its full versatility and spirit. He is a son of Hendrix, and will always be my favorite musician.
