    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!!!

    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.

    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

  • @jimistephen
    @jimistephen 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

    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!

    @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.

    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!
