    Having learned "Eugene's Trick Bag" i can tell Ralf studied Steve's hands and learned where his fingers should be on the fretboard at the right times. He didn't have to do that, but i can tell he really wanted his playing to look as real as possible, and i appreciate that as a player myself.

    For me one of the most touching aspects of this scene is that Ralph plays the original classical Paganini piece we heard him practicing in his room at Juilliard in the beginning of the film. This film is about returning to our roots, and there is something about Ralph’s character returning to that piece that is amazing.

      In early 1984, director Walter Hill contacted Arlen Roth-guitarist, columnist and co-creator of the Hot Licks instructional video series-about a new film he was about to make starring Ralph Macchio.
      It was to be centered on the blues and present a modern twist on the mythology and legend tied to the late Robert Johnson.
      The problem was Macchio couldn’t play guitar. Roth, it turns out, was the man for the job. The guitarist, who was hired as the film's musical consultant, also was tasked with showing Macchio how to play guitar while creating guitar parts for the film that the young actor could mime to.
      Over the next few months, Roth visited Macchio’s home in Long Island, New York, four days a week. He taught him electric and acoustic blues techniques, including fingerpicking and slide. He even threw in some classical. The young actor was determined to actually play the guitar in the movie; however, Roth knew this would be impossible.
      He was keen to just get Macchio good enough to fake the parts recorded by Roth, Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser. When production began, many of the film’s sets were still yet to be finalized. After filming on location one evening in Greenville, Mississippi, Roth, who was fascinated by the local music scene, decided to sit in at a nearby juke joint and took Ralph along.
      Macchio was so impressed watching Arlen jam onstage that night with Frank Frost and Son Thomas (widely regarded as two of the foremost American Delta blues musicians of their generation). He wanted the same kind of scene written into the movie. Cooder, who served as the film's musical director, agreed and even insisted Frost and Thomas be included in the film, which they were.
      Hill envisioned the film's climax to be like a boxing match, or a blues version of The Karate Kid (ironically, also starring Macchio). With that in mind, the original guitar "duel" was recorded; it was a battle between Roth and Cooder, with the plan that Cooder would appear on screen in the role of Jack Butler.
      As the film progressed, however, the producers were growing less keen on this idea and wanted someone else for the part, much to the disappointment of Cooder. Nonetheless, Cooder was still musical director and therefore was tasked with finding a replacement.
      Keith Richards, Frank Zappa and Stevie Ray Vaughan were briefly considered for the role, but ultimately with the producers keen on capitalizing on the mid-Eighties “guitar shred” boom, Steve Vai was cast and was quickly able to put his own stamp on the part, even writing additional music for the film, including his work on "Eugene's Trick Bag," an updated classical piece, at the film's climax.
      I copied and pasted this from a guitar Player magazine article on Arlen Roth

    A cool fact is that the song he plays is a version of Paganini's 5th caprice - which was a classical violin piece written by Paganini as a homage to the devil.
    It was often rumoured that Paganini had sold his soul to the devil for his mastery of the violin. Players said the piece required divine abilities to play, due to it's complexity.
    So in this movie, he sort of beats the devil with his own song. A neat little musical history reference that would fly over most people's head.

    Ralph Maccio gave the best guitar mime I’ve ever seen in cinema. His left hand miming was pretty spot on for the most part. You could tell that he understood what he was ‘playing’ even if he couldn’t play it. Most mime guitaring on screen is just people randomly moving their fretting hand with no relation to what’s being ‘played’. Fantastic work by both, and extraordinary playing by Vai, who recorded both parts.

    There aren't many comments saying this, so: Steve Vai actually created and recorded Macchio's part. He can't play guitar, at least at that level, he's just mimicking the movements (and honestly does a fantastic job with some of it, coming from someone who plays a lot of Vai's actual music). Vai is literally pretending to fail at something he just played (through Macchio) and I find that hilarious. Awesome neo-classical guitar.
