Steve Vai, A Man and His Guitars: At Guitar Center

- This month at Guitar Center we feature guitarist Steve Vai who helped establish the shred guitar phenomenon in the Eighties, and transcended the genre from the very beginning becoming a legendary guitarist in his own right. Vai
has remained as popular and influential as ever thanks to his adventurous, exploratory spirit, which constantly reveals new possibilities for the guitar. - เพลง

Not only is he an amazing musician but also a very interesting person to listen to. Steve Vai is just awesome !
Try using color when showing guitars
+Joseph Bernard They were both black and white for the most part anyway haha
+Joseph Bernard The words are what is important anyway
Joseph Bernard until two strokes took that away
try showing a little respect for an artist
Most retarded video I’ve seen
The moment he said he knew the seven string would inspire kids in a basement, I knew he would mention korn.
Devon Errigo huh?? Lol
Richard Martinez and Korn invented the U bar
Korn = Rich, melodic music..... straight from Vai’s mouth.
I wanna thank both Steve and Ibanez, my '87 RG plays like a dream. I'm glad Steve knew what to tell them, and Ibanez was smart enough to listen.
I love that when he says its Christmas when he looks at a guitar, I have the exact same feeling, love it!
Steve also invented hot dogs, oxygen, and the color yellow. A true innovator.
Good F One Mate !!! :)))
those are hard jokes man :)) you are on something ?? :))
haha! good joke bro
Gene Simmons invented shoes
Haha love it
Shame it's black and white, I'd like to see the colors on those gorgeous guitars
I was thinking the same thing, especially when he started talking about the swirl guitar.
I love him because he's such an amazing artist yet he's so down to earth and humble. I remember the first guitar magazine I ever got had an interview with him and he would let regular people play on one of his guitars, like the one he'd be playing with on stage. I mean, how many musicians would do that? he's such a cool person
Love Steve and his take on things. What a unique player and visionary.
Steve just seems like such a great guy
Wow This is so great!!!!!
Thanks for the interesting talk about your guitar,.the best
Steve didnt say that KORN were the first to use 7 string. He was just saying that they were the first to be heard in the popular more main stream music circles. Stop getting precious about everything. He actually said 7 strings were around before his 7 string....
Steve Via is such an amazing musician!
YESSS!! now i know what to get vai for christmas.
...and I love Vai too he is an amazing player, musician, and also a great music entrepreneur
He loves telling that Korn story, which is good. It shows that he genuinely was impressed by them and that he ain't too proud to admit it to everyone.
FacePalm or it’s a cool story he made up
@@stitcha123 idiot.
i saw one of his guitars at guitar center yesterday, it was blue and black, was absolutely beautiful
great guitar i own one
One of my favorite guitarists !
He speaks out of my heart
my new guitar is gonna be a jem. probably the 77 black and floral blue. I absolutely love IBANEZ. Steve vai is my favorite solo artist.
Such a cool guy!
You just wanna hear him speak. Hes amazing
I totally agree! Thats another reason I started building!
I don't listen to his music but I like the dude. Not a guitarist either but it was very interesting.
I met Stevie at the Guitar Center in Manchester Ct in 1999 I always wanted that white gem with the gold hard ware and I finally bought one from the Guitar Center it was $3400 best guitar I ever played ,probably the best neck ever made so comfortable and so fast you will fly off the fret board lol.steve was a gentleman to meet very nice intelligent man.
perfect video
jus all round awesome guy
By far the MOST wisest guitarist
My guitars and motorcycles are like kids to me, I love them all.
steve vai..u're really amazing..
Such a Long-Jem-ity? ;D
I would love to have them all.
I'm not a Steve Vai fan, but I have to admit that this guy has definitely revolutionized the concept of guitar making.
Steve you are great!! I love your guitars i only use ibanez cause are great!
Thanx steve!
Love the dark guitar.
a true genius indeed.........!!!
VAI....!!!
What a great guitarist!
Love my JEM with my whole soul ❤
That black Jem 77 floral model is wicked!
That is my favorite guitar I have ever seen. I missed out on an ebony fretboard version from 1990 with the real silk flowers on ebay by like £100. I actually cried. It was the most beautiful one I ever saw with flowers going around the horns and it have been refinished to look like new.
Uhem.......RE Invented, Thank You.
That's a simple explanation of why Ibanez guitars are chosen by virtuosos. Other trade marks, as Mayones, Skervensen, Hufsmidt and even Whashburn took many Ibanez ideas for heir models.
He has been really the father of the seven strings electric guitar.
That's really cool ;)
Trey from Morbid Angel was the first person I remember seeing/hearing playing a seven string. 91/92'ish on their Covenant album, very distinctive tone seven's have. Way before Korn.
yeah, he reinvented the guitar.... it feels simply natural and right....
I think I’ve found what guitar I want to get.
Right now I have a Squier Strat, and I’ve been saving up for quite a while. Looking at the things that Steve has done just with a JEM sums up what I want to do.
Get Rg550
I heard that Korn was originally called
"Blow it out your Korn Hole"
Later it became
"...out your Korn Hole"
then
"Korn Hole"
Until finally
"Korn"
+PIlotrcm i heard they were originally called "Vai Predicted this" then later just "Vai's Prediction" then just Korn
ICON
Sei un mito 👍👌👏💪
He's really well spoken
This handle in the guitar body is very important IMHO cause if you get a guitar most often keeping fretboard you can make the strings be out of tune! Not saying that our have sweat so the freatbord is simply dirty soon. I am full of respect for Steve Vais not only as a musician but also as inventor!
Leo Fender used names like that on numerous occasions. He wasn't a guitar player himself. Steve was one of the first people to have a cavity below his tremolo system to allow him to pullup. That much is true. In the frank zappa and alcatrazz days, his strats were setup floating. He had one of the original versions of the floyd rose without fine tuners as well then.
En blanco y negro, como un reportage entrevista antigua!
when the master speaks, you keep quiet and listen!
@gunsproof : Evo is his primary guitar. FLO is the guitar with the sustainer in it. Flo is what he used in whispering a prayer.
behold the legend
I think this would look better in color. The 'black' guitar looks beautiful.
That last sentence of Steve is so true, it's not only modesty. I remember all those Vandenberg, Skolnick, Gilbert, Reb Beach etc. models and they are all gone. Some of the players got new signature models, but their original signature guitars disappeared from the market. I can't even find a photo of the original Ibanez Alex Skolnick Signature in black with white bevels, it's like it never existed.
They are gone because their makers lacked the vision for a really iconic guitar. Reb Beach cut out a peace of wood and Vandenberg reversed the headstock, but basically their signature models were simple superstrats.
The JEM was almost a whole new toy and will stay with us for the decades ahead.
"and there it's just like look out". Fuckin awesome!!!
I like the Js Ibanez it's awesome.
Steve Vai is mint.
Truly a Genious
most of the time....yes
cool that he really think of the important things for revolution.
@IllusionaryMind8 I agree with you, as a matter of fact you could press down the tremolo (Floyd Rose) in a Kramer guitar back in the mid 80's, Kramer American or Kramer Focus, all the way down until you saw the strings just hanging completely loose, and it would not get untuned from doing so, also in Jackson guitars, that's why you see guitar players like George Lynch, Reb Beach, Warren Demartini, and even Paul Gilbert using Kramers in their early stages, what Ibanez and Vai really created...
True genius
i think i can relate to what his syaing, and most guitar players probably do...
every tiem i go into a guitar shop, no matter which one it is im taken away by the beauty of all the guitars, i wish i have money to buy them all
When he brought the 7-string Universe guitar, that opened so many creative doors for future bands. When I was growing up, Korn was my favorite band. Korn doesn't even exist without Steve Vai.
You and me both Steve, you know it.........
"like everyday is like christmas" he says that in every interview :P
3:00 Low E string caught in the pickup. Tape around the pickup usually does the trick. He does that on his EVO.
that is all true. I just find that Steve and tons of people tend to exaggerate in these ads or perhaps it's selective memory pressured by the need to pump whatever product is being pushed. ? Locking "trems" (tremolo is the wrong term for pitch change, it is vibrato really) are the bomb diggety for staying in tune if you do the insane whammy stuff. I love Ibanez guitars.
I love Ibanez S series. I have 5 different Ibanez Prestige
5:45 floral pattern 2, UV20th, EVO... wow, is a true dream
my favorite guitar is the Ibanez Iceman.
the guitar KISS used.
sure but recessing it wasn't done before, first appeared on the meanie green, which was Steve and Wayne Charvel coming up with the perfect axe, the prototype for the Jem and the blue print for the superstrat.
Wow..
My first Floyd was in oh... 1983? It had the fine tuners obviously. But I can't even remember how an original Floyd could be tuned then if not for fine tuning AFTER locking it. Yeah, a regular strat won't have any room to pull back w/o carving the body out there. Wasn't Eddie VH the first guy to really use the Floyd Rose system? I'm not a trivia buff. hahaha I'd love to get a device to let me lock the bridge in place and drop top string a step. but... being broke..
First time I've seen him without glasses or shades. He looks like he has Red Indian in him, even though he's Italian
Love my JEM!
my dream guitar: a steve vai jem with blue white swirl and blue tree of life inlay
Korn just unlocked a new achievement: Be mentioned, in a good way, by Steve Vai.
Congratulations!
Cool jacket.
I did not like Flexible when it came out. I went back and listened to it a couple of years ago, it was amazing to me.
I love the guitar he plays how i wish i could afford one.......
Save up like a beast and work a second job till you got the cash. I did this to buy my Triaxis and 2:90 boogie power amp. Now I sound like Dream theatre and Megadeth.
or the jem 7v is my other choice. any suggestions
@2:51-3:04: And that is why Steve put tapes on EVO's neck pickup.
I agree with you 100 % .Steve the man . Ibanez guitars Are the bomb everything else just don,t cut it.
Damn, just the other day while I was practicing I was thinking I wish you could pull up on the whammy bar instead, I didn't know they actually existed.
+TreSneaky ?? Most all floyd type trems are floating these days - since the late 80's or early 90's really...
@AlexChaseMusic you're gonna love them(:
i have 2 ibanez's they're great
Even in black & white, you can still see all the colors he likes to use in guitar design (apart from his white JEM)
the one he's holding from 1:03 is so gorgeous and expensive. you can google it.
Would it hurt if I jammed a guitar head up my rim? It just looks like a fun toy to try use, them nobbly bits on the end would give a ribbed affect during insertion.
this made me want an ibanez
Is there a longer version of this?
I won't say Steve Vai is the best guitarist in the world (even if it's likely) but he is the best speaker in front of a camera. No other guitarist talks as good and open as he does.
This guys head is so fuckin huge, I am speechless.
+Mark Lucio he predicted 7 string success in metal bruh lmao
which guitar is the darher one its pretty sweeet
