[@JudgeDrey]

By far the most beautiful melody and most breathtaking guitar solo I've ever heard in my 50 years of living and 38 years of playing. Still, there are parts in this solo that haunt me as to how Steve came up with them. I could sit and drill this man with questions for days. About music, guitar, and life. He is THE BAR.

[@pilgrim985]

I heard that Steve fasted for several days to create this song. Surely this song was spiritually inspired.

[@Tom3rP]

Started playing guitar back in 2011 my mom had this song as a ringtone on her cell phone and in 2013 we saw that Steve Vai is touring and had a concert in my country we rushed to buy tickets that was my very first concert that I went to I was like 11 years old at the time And I fell in love with Vai’s music and his guitar the JEM I am now 21 years old and a proud owner of an Ibanez JEM Steve vai’s signature guitar My favorite part about in this masterpiece is 4:45 still gives me goosebumps till this day

[@sandykoot]

My man, if your first concert was Steve Via, you can only go down from there. If you can manage to get half as good as SV, you have done something.

[@Tom3rP]

@@sandykoot 😂 i don’t usually comment on videos on KZbin and I kinda got surprised I got a reply after almost two years that I posted this but I’ve been on a couple of concerts in my life I’ve been to Carlos Santana, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, guns and roses, dire straits experience I wish it was the real deal and a few more I loved them all they all have their own kind of music so I can’t really compare the genres

[@Yapostadodat]

At 3:55 he just goes OFF and displays why he is known as one of the best. The way he moves from his whammy hits to keeping the same rhythm as he moves up the neck is amazing. The flourishes afterwards can only be accomplished by the long fingers he displays during this powerful crescendo.

[@antsinyourpants4095]

He dosen't 'play' the guitar. He extracts the pure essence of music out of it.

Of all his live shows, this one is my favorite. It's elegantly produced, not over stated and every member's talents are showcased so well. It's a masterpiece.

An easy SV method. His vibrato is accomplished by using his finger to draw dime-sized circles. Not just wiggling up/down or left/right. It's why he has such a signature vibrato. Keep going man and repost in time. Rooting for you.

People Steve Vai called the future of guitar: Plini of the band Plini Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders Tim Henson of Polyphia All guitarists of Periphery Seriously, check them out. They're not like Vai live, but damn do they make your face melt in astonishment and cry out in beauty just the same when it comes to the studio. Especially Plini and Abasi... Sometimes your brain just can't process how they performed a certain passage or wrote a certain melody... It's powerful stuff.
