Very true but still a nice guy. Loved it when Guthrie Govan smoked him, took his ego down a peg.

[@Fearzero]

@@JayTheLane Pffft. Dumb comment. Facility doesn't equal better. Music is not a competition.

[@JayTheLane]

@@FearzeroSpeaking what I perceive to be a truth. Guthrie is hands down a more melodic player, has better feel and phrasing than Steve. This of course is just my opinion. Steve Vai is a much better musician than me, that's just a truthful statement nothing to do with it being a competition.

Man, steve really is a master of Improv. He always finds the most talented people to play with him as well.

[@unknownman9485]

He helped Orianti as well. She discovered her once and allowed her to play with him.

[@juancarlosjimena376]

I doubted he is a master of improv. Anyone can do improv as long as you know music theory. And I praise him for that because learning music theory is never easy. Master of Improv Nah there's a lot of musician who are good in doing improv. And +points to him having a perfect pitch.

You can see Steve has been a Zappa fan many years. Zappa started audience participation. And all the dance a note thing.

[@drumavidcheckupz4792]

He was such a fan he played with Frank for seven years after earning an audition by transcribing all his music while he was in college. Frank v actually helped Steve build his home studio and taught him to keep not only his writing but his publishing too. And that's how flexable came to be. So thanks to that and Steve's work we can see stuff like this

[@Cheva-Pate]

And Mr Zappa told Steve to play the most impossible ”cords” and in impossible speed you cant play, and Steve did try to play it as good he could! 😂

[@therightisright8276]

What he and the guys played was not nearly as special as how seriously he took the volunteers musical concepts and made them a working piece of music. Im telling ya folks, Steve Vai is fucking AWESOME!!

[@rockerdrake]

He made a musical concept beforehand and broke it down into parts for the "volunteers" to bring in. The guy singing the bass line had some trouble remembering the melody he had been told. The girls in skirts knew they were coming on stage come on. As pre-arranged as it can get.

Nur Alif Sweet! I watched him perform a show in Manchester, earlier in the year I think it was. He did the same thing there, except he didn't have a guest guitarist on. He came across as a really down-to-earth, ordinary guy, despite his otherworldly abilities. He also seems to enjoy making fun of his 'God-like' status given to him by his fans & doesn't take himself too seriously at all. Thanks for the reply, dude! This was amazing to watch.

The first time I ever saw Steve Vai play, was with David Lee Roth in about 1985. He stole that show. The second time I saw him play, he was with Whitesnake. At the time, Whitesnake considered of David Coverdale, Steve Vai, Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo. Even amount a super group like that, Steve Vai stood out. I've never had the opportunity to see him as a front man but I would love to. He is a spectacular musician.

The guitar was actually brought out into the public arena first by black women. Rosetta Tharp, Beverly Watkins, Elizabeth Cotten and Peggy Jones. Then black men who further developed the blues and rock template. The white man is the new kid on the block inheriting the rich history and works done by their black brothers and sisters. What's intriguing is in 1789 Carl Ludvig Junker declared that the guitar should only be played by women as it was not as physically demanding as orchestral instruments. That way women of the day could preserve their dignity and shape. I don't disagree! The guitar in every essence is made for women. The fact that men took it up is a strange phenomenon.

Men took it to the next level, as with most things.
