Oh, I so love to see him play Tender Surrender as an older guy! The original video is burned into my retina!
Such a brilliant guitarist. His timing, emotion, approach and feel is nearly flawless.
This man is brilliant he do not think in the way most people think.
Keep doing what you do Mr Vai. You inspire me as a human being not just as a guitarist. Your philosophical approach is where it is at despite the amazing things you have written and can play. May all musicians strive to be true to themselves and recognize the importance they play to humanity.
"the Vai advantage" i love this quote! giving props to Joe when he didn't have to. in many ways Steve is so much better but they are both so humble... i love to watch Vai, but love to listen to Joe!!!
You were inspiring when I was 18. Still inspiring now im 45. Thanks!
Everything Vai touches turns to gold.
This is truely inspirational. I feel that I need to grab my guitar after watched this.
You are an inspiration Steve. Thanks
He is the most skillful well rounded guitar player I've ever seen
Thanks for sharing with that Steve.
Thanks! I've been trying to find it for a while.
Congratulations on an outstanding career! Love the video, thanks for posting! RJ
He is a very humble virtuoso, love you always Mr. Vai
Simply the best , and that is an understatement
I love your music... the sound... all is so very good.. and I AM DREAMING WITH YOUR MOVIE::thank you... for your GUITAR-LAND.
The Vai advantage!!! An artist of this caliber with no ego whatsoever is unheard of! What an humble man!
LOVELY!! and just brilliant and original :)
listen to the steve vai's speech and tender surrender at the same time. it's heaven you know.....
"I call that the Vai advantage." Haha. I love it. I'd say working with Zappa is another "Vai Advantage".
Amazing.Just Amazing
The best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to cry!
steve you are my best inspiration, you have magic in your hands n you make me feel like heaven always you play. thank you for your art.
There is no denying Steve Vai's technical expertise,But whenever I listen to steve play I always get this feeling that its not about the music,Its all about Steve Vai.
i love his interviews :D
For the love of god, yeah that song changed my life, i saw it on TV, the video still amaze me
awesome!
I liked your reaction on The video for TC Reverb pedal. You were like a kid with a new toy. It's very cool to see a life long musician like you still get excited about playing and gear. ;-D
The ending of this song is so... Perfect ! I really like the whammy bar effect he does and the volume swell... it gives a special feeling to the end... Really like this !
awesome
Thank you Steve =D. I hope to meet you soon
Every time Steve's on stage, he makes magic.
perfect!
wow I haven't watched that many videos of Steve but from the first one I thought he had to be one of if not the most inspirational musician ever.
this is a very well made video
Hace lo que quiere con las guitarras!!! Grande Steve Vai!!!
Just eternal respect for you Steve.
Inspiring!..
THIS WAS AWESOME TO SEE 10 FEET FROM ME LIVE!!!!!!! thanks guitar center and mr. vai for the best time of my life!!!!!!!!! marty hough
This man is frigging amazing... The finest guitarist in rock music today...What touch and feel... WOW!! A true musical genius...
Yea. Thanks for that. I have not really listened to Vai's solo work. I have listened to the Zappa years. Now I am getting a listen of his (Vai's) solo works. I really like this piece. So far Tender Surrender is my favourite Vai piece.
jesus!!! imagine being lucky enough to have vai as a music teacher!!!! i'd never leave!
I have a tremendous respect for him. As a player and as I person. True artist and gentleman.
Steve vai is the most intreasting person i have ever seen\met..
i practice guitar every single day because i want to play like steve vai
He's inspirational
@DiekClaymation it is unbelieveable how much inspiration you can get from just one person.
meu sonho e te conhecer steve vai e tocar com ele e o melhor do mundo
such control over the instrument.
from all gear his shoes are the sickest piece of equip
I love listening to him. A lot of people feel he is really full of himself but I always see the exact opposite. He's funny as hell too. He’s the man.
i love how you can really tell he enjoys what he's playing :)
The song is Tender Surrender, it's from the Alien Love Secrets EP.
no one handles a whammy bar like vai.....maestro!!!
Pure genius!
GRAZIE MAESTRO
"not compare it to anybody else, compare it to myself"
how wise is that..
Be stil my heart!
Oh god that really touched me! (And my cat!) ..
I felt that guitar playing intensely through my whole being ...
It took me to another world!../
And for that i THANKU ..
The image from 4:54 is amazing.
It's like all the guitars have come to listen to Steve.
you have it all on your plate
Cool.
It is Vaital that we continue with our Vai comments.
I want it and bought it .
Vai 4 Life!
Vai`s WORLD
he grew up in such a good musical movement
Make sure you pay attention to his left and right hand. Its not just picking its also strumming without a pick. see how he puts the pick "away but still has it in his hand while playing? its a good trick to have in your arsenal
Pure class act, a true gem (no pun intended)
i love those telecaster at the back..lol
You said it.
Máster 🤘🏻🎸🇻🇪
THE MASTER
The man is awesome. He is just amazing. He is a sick player. Love that "Tender Surrender" piece. :) Nice to see he's a fan of QUEEN also. Good musical taste. :)
i would kill to have been in that audience.
tender surrender is one of my faves.
1:38
I'm sorry... Hold it right there!!!
The whitesnake, slip of the tongue album is by far the best work he has ever done.
my favorite song of all time. plus are legacys now at guitar center?
mr. Vai is a gentleman, thats a fact.
77777 ibanez RG/JEM models is just too cool, they reinvented de Stratocaster model.
Regards.
he is the guitar hero..
This guy truly is vaildly successful.
ending kinda sounded like halo... i'm so glad he was in that soundtrack
@Lizco93 actually It's green tap that he's had on there forever, it doesn't effect the sound, where it says "FLO II" it used to say "FLO" on the same green tape and there's "EVO" and "KNOX" it's just there to be there.
If there`s re-incarnation, I wanna born as Steve Vai of that time.
Respect! :-)
this song is all about "surrender to the sound tenderly!"
@NemoTn Also on "Alien Love Secrets" (where it is, in fact, the 7th song) CD and DVD. ;-)
If he could be music school teacher, that school would be on fire
the intro songs. is when im dead. the gates of heaven is opening and there a wall of guitars .man!
LoL, the Vai advantage. I like that one :)
Personally , Tender Surrender always reminded me of Eric Johnson's Manhattan.
Both great tracks
Wish I could get my hands on some Vai Advantage.

" *#WHIP**!!!* "
(Like A Tiger!
That Jack Butler,he a real good guitar player \m/
pow eu quero te conhecer steve vai sou teu fan
@FlyinEye yeah, realized that after I posted it. But it's still green tape.
vorrei essere stato lì >.
I swear the first piece that is on here sounds like a version of Villanova Junction at Woodstock by Jimi's Gypsy's, Sun's, and Rainbow's Band as he calls them. One of the truly beautiful handful of songs that Jimi played. Like Stevie Ray Vaughan, he never played a song the same way twice, from night-to-night. I would LOVE to hear Steve Via play a version of this based on the Woodstock version and NOT the other available versions that are good, but IMO not AS good. GREAT MUSIC STEVE!
@aigmeyer good point. isn't David Coverdale the only original member now?
@TheDracfink It's a piece of tape, IIRC. He puts it there so the high e-string doesn't get stuck under the pickup when he does crazy things to it.
@Goldylox131 thanks for the help
Mr Steve Vai, here I am writing to you again. Please make a video explaining how do you do your famous round shape vibratos, I'm dying to know that!
