Mohini Dey & Steve Vai in Shillong

Thanks for the video Thomas Nordegg

[@Cherr1]

Props to Steve's bassist for stepping out and playing with her. That's real class and thoroughly professional. I'd love to know what was going through his mind as he watched her play.

[@ufcfan3940]

Ok time for the men to play step aside

[@maximilianosantana6518]

he thinks "I Would marry with her"

[@balisaani]

He's thinking: "She turned the beat around."

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

He got a break from the gig, he, take that no problem. This girl plays to much broken up non musical riffs. Tryin to show off

Steve Vai seems like a really chill dude to be around. He seems to like everything and everyone. :)

[@electric8668]

The only reasons she's not a legend is she too young.

buy your daughter a bass

She'd indeed. Keep her teaching music as we teach kids about life. Teach music as language... and someday she'll be talking to you musically as Steve on guitar and Mohini on bass did in this very video.

[@theratanbrostrb3713]

[@akshar6496]

Base

[@fullmoon7192]

Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani... or, Frank Gambale, John Scofield, Pat Metheny..., Jimmy Hendrix, David Gilmore, Hiram Bullock etc... Who would you "pigeon-hole" as the finest/best guitarist in the world ? They all (and many more) earned their places in "the pantheon of guitar greats", each of them for different reasons. Be careful before you write another phrase starting with: "The finest"... or "The best" in the world. There are legions of them. Do we need to go all the way back to Howling Wolfe, B.B. King, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery and such ? Have you ever heard these names: Larry Coryell, Emily Remler, Sylvain Luc, Biréli Lagrène, not to forget the father of the European Jazz Guitar: Django Reinhardt. Each of them evolved learning from those who came before her/him. There wouldn't be Guthrie Govan if there wasn't somebody before him, breaking the ground for his art... Here is something that, I'm sure, Guthrie Govan would enjoy to be part of: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYSlZZKel7-Wj6c

People have been critical of this?! For what?! I guarantee they are a bunch of talentless jealous trolls. Their opinions are worthless and only god for inflating low self esteem. This young lady is on stage, live with STEVE VAI! Vai is my number one guitar hero. I've followed him since Zappa so I know he's not just gonna pick some average musician to collaborate with. There's gotta be a positive energy and spirit with that artist. I don't understand why we all can't appreciate and enjoy something great instead of nitpicking and looking for something to criticize. Damn, sorry about that rant LOL. She was awesome! Thanks for the video.

So impressive! I like the fact, that she really did her homework on the famous Victor Wooten Solo #41 with the DMB, which ist by the way even nicer with the proper chords on the guitar. She relied fully on these magical Wooten lines and licks in the beginning. Compare it!
