Hey rob! When do we get to see a purple (iris) ghost fret?? And how do I special order one if that’s not in the near future? Love your stuff dude 🤘🏻

[@ingvarflatenaarnes5476]

So nice to see someone actually understanding Steve’s greatness - it’s the feeeeel ❤

[@nicksummers2252]

Rob - this was excellent. Would LOVE to see more workshop-like segments from you on Vai and Satch licks (also - please - BUY that Jem!).

[@jamesmorgan2064]

The Monkey Lord cometh for you... Oh yeah, Luke change yo mind !!!

[@ErikZmusic]

I remember when the first white JEM 7V's came out in the mid 90's and you could buy those 80's yellow JEM's used for like $500-$1000. No one wanted them cuz they didn't have the Evolution pickups or upgraded countered heel like the 7V. Should have bought one. :-/

[@RobChappers]

Yep, phenomenal guitar \m/

[@stormsonicspeed1]

you should have bought 4 or 5!!

[@D.Miller]

Bad Horsie popped on my playlist last night and really questioned why doesn't everything spund like this. What a tone. Luke, change your mind

[@BAMozzy69]

Passion & Warfare released in July 1990 ( I remember buying it in HMV when it released LOL) so that was nearly 32yrs ago now... Now I feel old!!

[@RobChappers]

Wow!!! 32 years and still a masterpiece in terms on musicality and production:-)

[@BAMozzy69]

@@RobChappers Couldn't agree more. Have you heard the 25th Anniversary Remastered version with the 4 bonus tracks that came with 'Modern Primitive'?

[@tonybroken6353]

i got to see Steve play some of it at Donnington 1990 with whitesnake.

[@BAMozzy69]

@@tonybroken6353 Lucky - I missed that year, but got to Donington a year later. Fortunately, the whole Donington Whitesnake set was released on video (now on YT) I didn't get to see Steve until 96 when he and Satch were on their G3 tour

[@wido123123]

He also does that Lydian lick in `Die to live`, when going into the b-section of the song (but much much faster!). I love it

[@AdiHughesGuitar]

That tone is spot on. Happy new year!

[@asterisk606]

That third lick is awesome! Super simple but sounds great.

[@thorpenator9148]

Killer Riffs. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from the States.

[@haveguitarwilltravel6105]

Definitely the guitar lesson I needed and was looking for. That Jem sounds amazing

[@vesaparkkonen4279]

It is a keeper for sure

[@FatalizedGuitar]

Happy new year man! A new lesson, been a while! Thumbs up from me!

[@davedavem]

Nothing wrong with them chops today, Rob!

[@ShadowRifft]

2022 intro done Propper!😎🎶🙌

[@czar902]

Hey Rob that vid was awesome and really explanatory!!! I would love some Ritchie Blackmore,Brian May and Malmsteen licks

[@stormsonicspeed1]

Hello Rob! I got a 1991 Jem777 (same color) last summer! A dream come true!And he should most definitely not sell it!! Nice video!

[@RobChappers]

Thanks dude and congrats on your haul :-)

[@guitarbrew6391]

a bright yellow gem is definitely on the wish list haha

I like your layout

[@davidtomkins4242]

You should know it’s more than 25 years since P&W, you were at the 25th anniversary gig in Brighton!

[@RobChappers]

Ahh shit, you’re absolutely right ha ha!!!

Cool stepdad tricks that definitely don't make everyone in the room roll their eyes and pray for death.

[@roxymager8052]

Love this :) Please do some more vids like this. That guitar is awesome !!

[@paulopezz]

Passion and Warfare was released in May 1990.

[@nikkmorse]

Yes, I've loved Vai since day 1 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@georgehersey8571]

Happy new year!....& for Luke you should keep this Jem of a Guitar!...You will regret it for the rest of your life!!!...😁

[@ThePaJomaster]

Steve used to play guitar for David Lee Roth's solo career. The last lick on this list is similar to Steve's solo on the song Just Like Paradise. He's a master of his craft \m/

[@PaulCooksStuff]

Happy new year 🎉

[@RobChappers]

Happy New Year sir

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Great content! Would love to see some more vids like this. I was always a fan of those tracks as a teen and still am to this day. Huge influence on me as a player. Cool vid Rob

[@davedavem]

Luke, changing your mind.

[@ilredeldeserto]

Rob, you have to definitely buy that Jem! ...Or I will buy!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Do a demo on the Mooer GE300 please.

[@1madaxeman]

He plays this lydian ascending 5ths thing in Giant Balls Of Gold.

[@RmNaNtCbScRrn]

Luke dont sell it, Luke you are too poweful Luke stop!!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

bugger, love the outro, bought your album as soon as it came out. please do another MonkeyLord album.

[@Havanacuba1985]

Luke ,change your mind ,it’s the ultimate guitar

[@Yosser70]

Probably doesn’t count as a lick but the first 10 or so seconds of Bad Horsie he plays in Crossroads, is the best noise a guitar has ever made (possibly 🤷🏻‍♂️)

[@alanmetx]

31 years since it’s release I think?

[@DEZZA12]

Rob, buy it

[@RobChappers]

I want to… but I already own one…

[@DEZZA12]

@@RobChappers ok, buy me it lol🤣

[@fingolfen01]

Well... now I know what I'm practicing to this afternoon! :D Honestly I'm still trying to work out the guitar solo in Bravado by Rush - there seem to be several versions, but the closest ones I've seen online (and one concert video) seem to run mostly run between the 12th and 15th frets on the D, G, B, and occasionally high E strings...

[@marklnz]

Luke, don't sell this beautiful piece of guitar awesomeness!!!! ... GIVE IT TO ME INSTEAD!!! :D

[@terrytickler]

Keep it

[@Paul-D]

Anyone else find 1 semi tone bends the hardest of all bends lol

[@Bad_Phil]

Definitely a feel thing

[@sickriffs886]

The 3rd lick also sounds like Rubina by Joe Satriani

[@nevigo5519]

Luke change your mind! 👍

[@loadiam]

If I had that guitar I would never sell it. JEM777 DY is the holy grail, plus signed by the artist it was inspired by. Perfection.

[@scottfriery9091]

Released in 1990, so 34 years ago now.

[@garykeller15]

if Luke's selling it, then you should buy it. especially if you like it so much. he would probably give you a good deal lol.

[@wilaminei]

Rob, times flyes, Passion and Warfare was released in 1990, 32 years before this video. You said 25 years.

[@BlackSnack]

When you startet playing around in lydian, I immediately when "Holy crap! Thats 'The Thing that Should Not Be' by Metallica." 🤯

[@anothernewworld9650]

That third lick is not Lydian. It doesn’t have a raised 4th.

[@Casey3-P-O]

Steven Crowder: I'm selling my guitar, change my mind.

[@JesseLeeKing]

Man chappers what happened I remember when you used to be good haha I'm just joshing it was just a jest. You're still an amazing guitarist lol awesome guitar and I love the yellow guitar strap too... killer amp as well. I seen a purple bad cat on a andertons that I'd love to get but I still say that of bad cat put the eyes where the a's are instead of on the sides it would look cooler in my opinion atleast it'd look more ergonomically idk if it'd be correctly but the symmetrical look of it would be more appealing to my eyes anyway. Example b👁d c👁t

[@JesseLeeKing]

Or maybe if they put the eyeballs hanging over the top 🤔 it'd look better idk I just don't dig the on the side bs 🤷

[@RobChappers]

Ha ha thanks man :-)

[@CarolinaLandshark]

Luke, are you crazy?? Change your mind!!!

Enjoyed that - Luke: Just don't

Luke, I'll buy it! I have 50 bucks and a bag of candies.... sorry, half a bag of candies.....

Omg I want that sponge Bob and Gary the snail stuffed animals lol shit he has a Mr. Potato head smh I always wanted one of them when I was a little kid but I never got one. I had to use a real Potato 🥔 and put eye's 👀 on it lmao

[@SavyBajaBuster]

I would never sell that plank... i have a couple of ibanez one being a measly jem Jr.... it is such a nice guitar and will get around to getting a fully fledged jem or a pia but if i could only have one guitar out of the ones i own it would be the jem Jr.

[@naturalmeditation101]

Rhythm lessons would be welcomed as well.

[@waynegram8907]

ROB CHAPMAN, make a YT lesson only showing a bunch of Steve Vai finger swapping licks. Steve Vai will often swap his finger when doing scalar runs or reinstate repeated notes with finger swapping

[@guitarbrew6391]

did he change his mind?

[@Wolf.51.50]

I honestly don't get how the 3rd lick can be considered lydian sounding. I mean, if it's in A lydian, the lydian note is a D sharp. Now the lick hits: A-E-B-F#-C#-G#. Now that's an A maj 7-9-13. There's no D# in there, so how can it be lydian? It sure is major, but definitely not lydian.
