Steve Vai - Guitar Tour: Satriani's Birthday Gift, the "Swiss Cheese" Guitar, First Guitar & More

[@headrusted]

Steve has such an innocence in his display of the love for his guitars, friends, and life. Its not just his playing, its him.

[@frankiechan9651]

Frank Zappa's wisdom is still so relevant - "Guitars aren't so sacred" - shout that out brother. I love seeing Steve in his home studio and thinking about all the stories that reside in the guitars that are all over that space. And hearing the stories that Steve is happy to share with us.

[@tymanngruter1808]

Steve talks about this guitar as he loves his wife, such a freind to have forever! 🙏

[@McNoiseboy]

I could watch hours of content like this from Vai.

[@allanmakela3011]

An inspiring human being,miss his podcasts during covit,lots to learn,and ponder every day

[@McNoiseboy]

Agreed! The 'Under It All' episodes were fantastic. I think I might revisit them again very soon... 🙏😎

[@Dodo-so8dz]

Always a treat to see Steve talk about his axes 😊. A consummate professional if there ever was one 🎉

[@Green-yp9ix]

I love little green men so much, and seeing Steve play just a little bit of it.. Wow… 😊

[@vincentl.9469]

it looks - cheesy . you cant call that a guitar 😜

[@HiltonWard-fy3kf]

I’m so glad Steve got his guitar back! Love your playing Steve!

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

Little Green Men - fantastic! Back in the day I would put on Flex-able when friends were round and just wait for their reaction to There's Something Dead in Here. They knew I liked Zappa so it was to be expected that I'd make them listen to some weird stuff but that final track was always a shock to the system.

[@JohnLloydDavis]

Wow! Vai plays Little Green Men!! Awesomeness :)

[@slapitman]

My mom rest her soul always said 'health, wealth and happiness rarely go together' you Sir broken the rule. You are the secret source.

[@GuitarFuel]

Steve is one of the coolest dudes on the planet!

[@jubrazenar]

The stories those guitars could tell! Can't wait for my Vai Spark Mini to arrive later this month!

[@SouthpawSatch]

I love it! More Steve Vai guitar history videos please!!

[@supay6537]

Such fantastic video with one of the modern genius STEVE VAI 🫡

[@kojam1]

Steve's got more gear than most guitar stores! Good Lawd!

[@gktde9874]

2:43 Wow Steve, that’s your best riff ever 👍

[@statmagic]

HA! I just turned on "Flex-Able" the other day after not having listened to it in decades. That album was Steve in transition and some of his best work IMO.

[@emiliofernandezvillasante]

Fantastic !!

[@montofrekasi4541]

Please do BIAS FX Steve Vai pack, since you 're collabing. Don't miss the chance. I hoped for BIAS Zakk Wylde when I saw you working together a while ago, but it never materialized. I wish it did!

[@luisbovleck5173]

I thought the same thing seeing Nuno Bettencourt with Positive Grid

[@brivington2011]

Steve Vai is the best. I wonder how much that Strat (his first real guitar that went with him through the Frank years) would go for today if auctioned?

[@DarrenT777]

This whole time I thought Inviolate was pronounced differently. I was saying it like Inviolayt lmfao I really liked the song Little Pretty, that one and Apollo In Color were my favorites. Thanks for sharing the cool videos with Steve Vai I love him. I love his music of course but more importantly I learned some things from him as a person outside of music that helped me when I was struggling the most.

Bella/Magnifico.🙏✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️👑

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Were all of these guitars played through the Vai Spark? It's great to hear the history of these unique instruments!

[@positivegrid]

Yup! Everything through Spark MINI Vai recorded live in the room.

[@crisolivares7847]

Little green men❤❤❤

[@purpletiger9313]

Something about the recovery story of the Swiss Cheese ... it sounds fishy. "My grandmother's attic?" Tijuana? Mmm hmm. Sure.

[@JackSon-cs5vk]

hes my idol

[@MehYam2112]

2:42 😮

[@The4.6Man]

I read everything too fast. I thought you guys were releasing a Satchmoe Amp next. Boy my wife would be passed, id have to buy that mini too

[@MasterMojo85]

175 $ for a Fender Strat… that was quite a long time ago.

[@rizkymega4406]

lastly.. he really love fender

[@WegrGregor]

0:30🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Don__clandestino]

Hi guys, which Ibanez is the one at minute 3:00? just behind Steve? thx

[@sambroxguitar]

It was made for the Beat tour

[@konstantin_lv]

I wonder what the 21 fret “yellow” JEM could be , the one on the left?

[@PatternRecognitionMusic]

He's always had an endless stream of variants floating around - that one looks like ash and maple with SSS and a non-locking trem, very Strat-like; he's been known to dabble with builds that are evocative of more traditional setups like that.

[@sambroxguitar]

It was made for the Beat tour

[@konstantin_lv]

@@PatternRecognitionMusic hmm, that almost looks like an RT series guitar. Thanks for your input!

[@markusantonio4866]

The Strat used for Call it Sleep. 🥹
