Steve Vai - Blue Powder

[@michaelfinley4440]

I always thought this was Steve's best piece/ encapsulates his style so to speak. I especially loved the break with the clean guitar, how he explodes our from that depressed whammy into that chord/

[@fredzeppelin3969]

This tune first appeared as a flexi-disc sound page in Guitar Player magazine, and was written and performed as a demonstration of the Carvin X-100B half stack.

OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT that this is the absolute Truth! Played that thing and my mind was blown yet AGAIN (This after the Revelations of EVH and Malmsteen).

Still got it somewehere :-) UPDATE: 4 years later - still not found it...but it's there somewhere!

[@fluxision4823]

I had it, i was 14, played it over and over

[@sempersavage7201]

I remember that like it was yesterday! My brother and I couldn't believe our ears back in the 80's! we wore that thing out!

[@MrAVTN]

Playing like only the master can!

これって最近の映像ですよね、、何十年たった今でもあの時代のご自分のサウンドをほぼ完璧に再現する根性と忍耐w頭が下がります。

[@0rbitingUranus]

The pedal tone motif from about 3:55-4:28 is crazy! It is a shame that the combo of the UltraLite bar and the backstop don't allow the flutters to ring like the setup he recorded this with, because the passage at @5:04 was really quite groundbreaking when the album was released.

ESSE CARA TOCA MUITO, NA MINHA OPINIÃO É O MELHOR GUITARRISTA DO MUNDO !

[@bilalmalikguitarist]

mr. vai is really an inspiration for us all. nobody can actually get to his level! Who's the bass player, he plays good?!

[@fredzeppelin3969]

Stuart Hamm, played later on with Satch on some tours

[@davemoskot1776]

Philip Bynoe on bass…one of the best in the business!

You might as well call this song Jinx

[@zagc4976]

Terrible sound

[@84furqan]

Thanks! You didn’t pay me to make a pro-shot quality vid. Now go back to your Cardi B.
