We need more Steves in the world. Here's to many more years of your life.

[@luish.alcantaraaguilar6158]

There's only ONE Steve Vai, no matter how many Steves we want in the world!!!! :D

[@KrisFjord]

Every guitar player: 'I need a challenge..' *Adds whammy bar* Steve vai: 'I need a challenge..' *Removes whammy bar*

[@Marta1Buck]

he literally said success needs a challenge, and that challenge wasn't that great of a challenge for him

[@einarabelc5]

He's whammy incorporated INC.

[@777fiddlekrazy]

ADDS WHAMMY, REMOVES WHAMMY ADDS INTERESTING JOINT DETACH FOR INTERESTING MULTI BEND CHORDINGS! STEPPING OUT OF THE BOX ON A CONSTANT!

[@groovefretboard]

Kris fjord check my fretboard invention. Adds challenge of not being able to do full bends and focus on FretCorner Bend technique. I think it so much more radically different sound wise than what Steve is doing as far as multi interval FretCorner bends as I show. His is way harder. It’s not a competition just side by side analysis. Love Steve’s style and ability.

[@groovefretboard]

I hate being like “look At me check me out I re invented guitar” yet if I don’t promote it I’ll never inspire anyone sell any guitars or evolve music as there’s 10 billion guitarists yet I’m the 1st to build this fretboard

[@MrPercussionPete]

Steve's not only a fine musician, but also a fine human being. Love the part at the end with his wife. Such a nice couple. May we have you around for many years to come Steve. You're a true artist, in every sense of the word. People like you make the world a better place.

[@411byrd]

I totally agree. He's been my guitar hero since Eat'em and Smile.

[@Nick--Name]

Exactly!

[@ntartaris]

Bravo....echoed my thoughts precisely. I was thinking at the end of it, just how blessed we are in this day and age to have such access to some of the heroes we could only connect with through a magazine or VHS tape back in the day, and just extrapolate from that what the person was like and almost use our imaginations to fill in the massive gaps. Today we have this ability to pretty much converse with them. They're just on the other side of the screen. Cherish every day and every note Steve plays, as we are all not around forever. Happy Birthday Steve. You're a living treasure.

[@JonIllescas]

I couldn’t agree more with you!! Steve is an inspiring human being!! I saw him in a concert in Spain just yesterday and he was incredible in every sense of the word.

[@stevestan6525]

So well said, Bravo!

[@voltz.supreme]

My favourite Vai solo.... He was doing a Zappa plays Zappa show in Sydney Australia. He stepped out to do a solo and a string broke instantly. If you've had experience with floating bridges, you'll know that one string snapping will throw all your strings way out of tune! Anyway, he had to do the solo and it was one of the best guitar solo experiences of my life... Probably because I knew what he was up against. And he whammied his way through and it was so good. Completely bizarre and unlike anything he would do while in tune but it was still all him, playing off his skills. The extreme example of limitations and boundaries. Great memory!

[@XbotulinumX]

He’ll never get old in my eyes he’s always going to be the best in the books to😂🤘🏼

[@dereksmallsuk]

@BAZ INGA Really? I hadn't noticed.

[@kevin7rxxx346]

She actually played Bass in the 80s band Vixen!

[@Tascamaniac]

Yes, they are such a wonderful couple after all these years. Just beautiful.

[@michaeleaster1815]

30:16 - 30:45 is both modest ("I'm human") and a testament to the drive behind a genius

[@Fictionalian]

A gentleman 60 years old still can play so well and innovating. Happy birthday Steve Vai the master

[@lowyaw]

That little bit, where Steve frets a chord on the wrist of his right hand. Such a unifying moment, the *delicacy" for all guitar spirits out there

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Happy Birthday Steve!!!! It is great being able to see this human side of you (not that I am saying you're an alien or anything.)

[@ziggylayneable]

He's definitely an alien he is not of this Earth as Joe satriani once put it

[@mr.musicmusetear7049]

Alien? He looks and sounds more human than the human. Loved listening and watching. Too old? You look and sound better than ever. This is what you were born to be and do. Happy birthday and yes keep it fresh. 60 70 80 90 100+++

[@anthonyjames2096]

Steve had it at 18 years old. At Berklee in 1979, he was in a 4 piece band. With Victor Bailey on bass. They warmed up for guitarist Lauren Lehman's band. Lauren could play too. Steve felt like Lauren ran him off the stage. He had his head down, he felt bad. I told Steve back then that he was special. He had Jimi Hendrix type sounds with this jazz type feel it was different. After the show, I saw Steve standing in telephone booth on Boylston Street. I knocked on the door he stepped out said he felt bad cuz Lauren had did him on stage. He said, he didn't have to worry about it, and then he said these words in November I'm going to California to play with Frank Zappa. We were young, all of us had a story but I believed him. I asked Steve what was he going to do for an amp when he got there. He said I hope Frank will let me use one of his. After that semester at Berkeley I left, he left. next time I saw him he was on the cover of guitar player magazine and now he's made History!

[@Mr25thfret]

Congratulations Steve, I have so much to say and ask , I'd never get it in here.. So may God bless you.

[@tjhx5413]

A great honor and privilege to share this experience truly one of kind..

[@DanielHoerle-ww9so]

Such a humble dude. He said this was a challenge , hes freekin knocking this out of the park.

[@AlexAquarius963]

Steve, just so you know, you'll like this story! When I first heard of you, it was subliminal. It was 1982 and I was in Rexburg, Idaho. I was attending BYU Idaho as an out-of-water Mormon Freshman from Houston, Texas. My best buddy in the dorm was also my Karate and Jujitsu mentor at the gym when we weren't studying. I just remember one night we were in his Triumph TR-7 driving past a park in the snow and he put in a Frank Zappa cassette. And he said, "You gotta hear this, you'll love it. It's called "Don't Fool Yourself Girl, It's Going In The Poop Shoot."," And then he showed me this song and parts of the album and I was blown away. It was great, but I was conflicted because it wasn't 4 on the floor rock. He told, "Listen to this young kid that plays guitar for him, Steve Vai, He's Amazing. You're going to hear a lot more from him in the future." I was amazed, I was a classical guitarist from 5 years old and I knew it was good, it just wasn't my kind of music. He told me to watch out for you and you would be famous. I didn't even connect it when you came out with Dave Roth. I just realized this story about 3 months ago! It's the same guy on Guitar!!!!!

[@Peter-zc5xc]

Would love to hear Steve`s take on this ?

[@stitcha123]

He’ll never read it

[@reggieblinker7524]

This is a great story. I grew up on vai, in the uk

[@smashdalde9713]

"This isn't just a dream!!!" Happy birthday Steve

[@Mardial]

you are great and will always be great Vai

[@JimiHL]

I love how Steve always uses technique in the service of melody. Using the technique to execute the melodic flow.

[@trevorbayfield4006]

I worked with a chef who was into Frank Zappa, he knew I was into instrumental guitar, I was a guitar player, and he gave me a cassette tape he had recorded, by this guy Steve Vai, it was 1990, and the tape was a recording of Passion and Warfare. We used to blast it out in the restaurant before we opened, we had a big pair of wharfedales above the bar. Cheers Ian.

[@smashdalde9713]

Fuck me,worked with tons of Chefs..none of which were Zappa fans-might have done some of them good too!

[@allenalex8653]

My birthday is also in June, was lucky to get a Ibanez uv77 for it.

[@TruthSurge]

That's the problem with writing technically nearly-impossible riffs... 6 months later, you can't even play it yourself! haha But it was sweet in that recording, tho.

[@theburkett67]

What's up TruthSurge. Just watched you today jamming to Dixie Highway. Sounded great.

[@XEMANAL67]

Go to the hospital to treat your head.

[@wavebomb1]

I feel like that's the awesomeness of it, you break your limits and, as he say, inspire others, and with that, inspire yourself. I love making music/solos that even I have a hard time trying to get it through, because I'm studying something and it is something mine, in the end i build up my technic and created something (also love to learn other songs, but creating songs is amazingly awesome)

[@StevenSiroVai1]

Don't remind me!

What a lovely wife Steve. I shed some tears I love you man.

It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome fan like you,thanks for your love,I have you mostly to be thankful for🎸🌹🎸

[@theangryfisherman571]

Hey Steve, happy bday. You were the one person that made me want to pick up a guitar after hearing Passion and Warfare many years ago. I bought your transcribed book of that album as a young guitarist with massive hopes. So fast forward, I ran a guitar school in Australia for 20 years and got the privilege to teach some of your songs to my advanced students. So thank you for setting the bar so high and allowing us mere mortals to strive to your standard. A life time of mine admiring your music and career. Thanks so much Troy.

[@blase1856]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GOAT OF ALL GOATS 🐐 🔥🔥

[@ultranemesys5908]

Long live Steve Vai ...and YES: virtuosity, speed and "shred" should be there too. The ones who say it shouldn't is just because they cannot execute it.

[@twisantigo]

Yes! I'm sick of people who say shred has no "feeling." Like you said, people that can't shred despise people who can.

[@richard780]

the speech of the ones who didn't practice enough ;)

[@Jsssddfgffghshdhdhusjsjd]

Shred can have feeling, yeah, but you must agree that some people just wanna play fast without putting any feel in.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

​@@Jsssddfgffghshdhdhusjsjd : That's true too. I've watched this whole thing appear back in the day as a response to "shredding becoming popular in the 80's. A lot of the fans started thinking that if you couldn't shred, then you weren't good. Witch is absurd at best. For one thing, slow tempos are far far harder to nail, and I'd also point out that players like Gilmour, BB KIng, SRV and many others were just as good as any shredder but in a different way. Then came the 90's and the fans decided that if you even played guitar solos you sucked. But all the great shredders all played with a lot of feeling too, and most of the emphasis is on rhythm as well for all the best players. It's all just bullshit though from either side. Play what *you* feel, because that's your truth. And the one thing that all art has in common, be it painting, writing, music, sculpture, poetry, etc, is people respond most to when the artist is speaking their own truth.

[@donharrold1375]

How can Steve Vai be 60! I remember seeing him in Dave Lee Roth’s band 33 years ago. Seems like yesterday. My first introduction to Steve Vai was a flimsy free disc that came with Guitar Player magazine. It was a promotional piece for Carvin I think. There was a track called Blue Powder that eventually found it’s way on to the “Passion and Warfare” record. Well that little flimsy disc made quite an impression on me at the time. As a teenage guitar playing fanatic I’d never heard anything like it. It was innovative, interesting, inventive and sonically mesmerising. Compared to the blues based rock guitar that was prevalent at that time, it stood out to me as something really special. I’d never heard of this guy before, had no idea what he looked like and I wondered even how his name was pronounced. I knew one thing for sure though: he was going to be one of the most important and influential electric guitar players in history. Since then, literally millions of guitar players all over the world have copied his stylistic hallmarks. He remains untouchable in terms of inventiveness and his ability create new and interesting music continues unabated. Bravo Steve congratulations on your 60th Birthday!

[@pengyu3455]

I started to play guitar 3 years ago when I was 35 years old. For some reason, It was so late I pick up the guitar. I am a slow learner but I will contintue, because I love it. It was Steve's music alawys remind me to practice harder and harder. Thank you for creating so good music, Steve.

[@minkorrh]

Never stop, even when you get frustrated. I started at 12 and I'm 52 now. It's a lifelong pursuit of which you never stop learning. each day brings something new and pushes you forward. Making music is a gift.

[@udiegoportales]

Just enjoy it

[@Deathshuck]

I love that he called Strat a "limitation". It really goes to show how it can benefit you as a player when you have every single piece of gear made to your specifications. I wish I could someday have a guitar which is as comfortable to play as Jem is for Steve.

[@SonorousMusic]

A strat a limitation? Get real! Go tell that to Gary Moore, David Gilmour, and any blues dive guitarist that can evoke more emotion out of a strat in a night than Steve has his entire career.

[@mjobusch]

I have a couple of strat partscasters, a Contreras N3, and a two Kiesel's -- for me, time is the limit: I can't parse out 9 hours to play most days - and for over ten years didn't want to. If you can't do a Kiesel now, I strongly recommend taking a Squire (even a used one dirt cheap -- check Reverb or GC used gear), and getting a neck from USA Customs -- or if you want the Fender licensed headstock, go with a Warmoth. You don't need it finished or anything -- get some oil, or wipe-on poly from Lowe's. I'd recommend getting one with a nut width that works with a pre-cut graph-tech to keep things simple -- you'll be in the ballpark, and if you take it to a really good luthier, you'll be in the ballpark of a high-dollar guitar. You don't need to spend a ton right away -- do the pickups later. I you could make it really good for under $400. That said, I've been a fan of Steve, and Ibanez for a long, long time -- but my Kiesel's are a class above everything else -- if you can swing it, get one.

Steve, you need to send this song to Rick Beato so he can break it down in one of his 'What Makes This Song Great' episodes. I'd love to hear him have a go at it and dissect it from his music teacher point of view - such a fresh new song like this.
