FULL - “Crossroads Guitar Duel” - Steve Vai, Ry Cooder (FREE TAB)

[@richmonksgtr]

The fact that you played Eugene’s Trick Bag on a replica “Green Meanie” means that you know what Steve played it on. Brilliant.

No thats a jem not the green meany

[@dime4ever101]

The slide song on the outro has always been one of my favorite parts of that movie, when willie salutes the devil and Eugene plays a kind of laugh on the guitar. They really showcase the emotions of the instrument in this movie. Especially with feelin bad blues too. Ry Cooder is one of the best

Steve should see this. Vai did a great job with the acting, nothing like him in real life.

[@budgiecat2885]

Shoulda been Yngwie woulda been more accurate lol

[@tamastardy6788]

Steve did quite bad job acting that he can not play the final lick :D

[@reforma720]

Arlen Roth should see this as well, he played Ralph Macchio's part behind the scenes.

[@Shayne_Mushin]

It’s funny that you should put it that way. He plays guitar genuinely- and that is his role in the film. He acts the same way on stage as he did in this movie. He’s so connected to his instruments that he makes all these facial expressions and stuff, and his other mannerisms are just like when u see him in concert

[@arthung2]

Wonderful re-creation of a truly iconic movie scene. Your playing is incredible. Even had the jacket removal and guitar drop!

[@jazzram_]

The drop was painful

[@411byrd]

I agree, Excellent work.

[@groundef]

When you duplicate or cover something and post it, it should be as good or in a different kind of musical artistic style. This is not even close to Steve Via’s playing or tone, and it’s almost 40 years later.

[@vaibanez17]

Finally the full duel is covered by someone. This is amazing, awesome job.

[@thescriptwriter824]

You got the Mojo-hand, the Louisiana voodoo charm! The Winning Boys Magic! I like the facial expressions you put in there too, well played!

[@deathengine]

thank you for taking me back to my 17 year old self in 1986 - when this movie came out - and sitting here in awe of an amazing performance!!! I think for most - but certainly for me - it was my first introduction to Steve Vai! You did an AMAZING job!!!

[@josevillarreal4897]

Thank you for the kind words. My first introduction to Steve Vai as well. My guitar teacher played it for our guitar class and everyone was gathered around the TV just completely awe struck. That moment has always stayed me. Thanks for the comment and take care!

[@HueyRocks23]

Holy shit. I have owned the Steve Vai "Elusive Light and Sound" album and you hit those notes. The first time I ever saw this scene in "Crossroads", I did not believe that it was possible to play it on guitar.

[@briangisler1981]

This is probably the greatest thing I ever saw on KZbin. Awesome brother!! Totally Awesome!! CrossRoads Is My all time favorite movie. Watched it 5 times and could watch it another 5 times.

You're are an exception to great guitarists out there and I enjoyed the hell out of this video! Thanks for sharing this....GREAT!!😊😊🎉🎉

[@josevillarreal4897]

Thanks for the support 🙏🏻

[@vondragonnoggin]

This was absolutely amazing! Who taught you to play like that? Legba? The fact that you did Macchio’s last part where he wins with a Steve Vai guitar was a brilliant touch. Were you inspired by the movie when younger? I know I was. I was 18 when that movie came out and had been playing a mere three years. One of the best guitar duels in a movie ever. You recreated it perfectly. Even down to the looks they gave each other. That’s some dedication. You will go far young man. Can’t thank you enough. The nostalgia hit me like a freight train. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@josevillarreal4897]

Thank you my friend. Yes huge inspiration. My high school luckily had a guitar class and my teacher was playing the last scene of the movie for the class. He had a little TV on a huge stage and we were all gathered around this little TV with our jaws to the floor. Couldn’t believe what we were hearing. Thanks for the support 🙌🏻

[@josevillarreal4897]

Thanks man appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@adamslater1634]

Take a bow brother!!! I've owned that scene as one of the best pieces of art to come out of that wickedness known as hollywood. So the fact that you took it serious and enjoyed it enough to teach yourself every part proves it was art. I have shown it to as many people as I could just to get them to broaden their horizons and tip their cap at the mastery on display by Vai. So, good on ya my friend that you have pulled off what I have never actually seen anyone else even dare to try, every part all at once. Blessings from our creator the Lord Jesus Christ for blessing you with the anointing to rock that scene and inspire others to aim high like you did. They will find out that they are more gifted and prepared to succeed than they ever dreamed! 🛐✝️😇🙏🖐️👏

[@markslima1557]

What a treat I've never seen a full playthrough of both guitars! Well played!

[@MochaDaisy8645]

Wow! Very nicely played. I never knew about “Fried Chicken”. It’s too bad that scene didn’t make it to the final draft of the film but I think it actually makes sense in terms of the script and the sequence of scenes. Not sure if this is accurate but that classical part that ended the duel was supposedly a solo violin piece composed by Nicolo Paganini, whom had also been rumored to have sold his soul to the Devil for fame and fortune. The thing I found hilarious was that the character Eugene was from Long Island, NY. Vai was actually from Long Island

[@botz72]

So is Ralph Macchio. Crazy

[@MochaDaisy8645]

Holy crap! I knew R Macchio was from somewhere near NYC but not Long Island like his character. Isn’t Wikipedia magical? Oddly enough, Eugene was a teenage music student but in reality, Vai and Macchio are very close in age. Very cool gator photo there, bud

[@johnm.4655]

1:16 Love that long Vai style run! Sounds a little like something Yngwie would play. And, you really nail Vai's playing style from 2:25 onwards. Some of his all time best guitar phrasing ever in my opinion.

I found the MP3s in the napster days, and I'm so glad others with more musical talent than me had the drive to recreate this. It has been one the greatest chase pieces, and both guitarists were so talented. Bravo, and thank you.
