"I Wanted to play a song with one hand to impress people". why don't you actually worry about making a good song? With a band, melody, riffs and someone singing a good lyric? I don't give a damn how many solos you make, or how many hands you use to do it. There is more guitar in the Sex Pistols album than there is in all Steve Vai's career.

Steve Vai seems like such a good guy, and his guitar playing is crazy. Just started watching and I'm hooked. Edit: I didn't know he was a flat-earther until reading the comments, I don't pay much attention to him in the media (I only listen to his playing) and he's not my idol. I made the comment late at night when I was half-asleep working on a school assignment - not expecting much of a reaction. Could you adults stop arguing over whether one guy is humble or not.

Always loved Vai's playing (how could you not) and in all the things I've ever watched him on, always wondered what kind of guy he was...holy shit! what a humble and open down to earth guy...blown away about how cool he is carrying that kind of talent and sought after skill, figured he would be more like a lot of the others in the business. I'm a super fan now after watching him and who would you rather listen to advice from than a seasoned pro like this...wow! thanks KZbin, thanks Tyler, and thanks of course Steve Vai for such great info!

I think I've listened to the song 10x already, but don't want to overplay it to wreck the experience. Great work Steve, Definitely some of your best, in my opinion.

So fascinating to hear that whole discussion in the context of a wild instrument that truly does deserve its own deep explanation. Great stuff.

Vai's been a world-class guitarist for 40 years. It's a marvel that he isn't resting on that, and is challenging himself to "get better". Inventing a new instrument and composing a piece of music for it is a master's fusion of his art and science. And he's got more ideas for composing on the Hydra. This ain't over.

I'm 30 and I have never seen an electric guitar up close and I have very convincing reasons why. But my passion to listen and think about great songs - mostly including only rock songs and everything that has guitar in itself - has kept me alive. I'm living in an 80 million population country where almost every thing that can give you joy is prohibited...and I'm pretty sure just a few people have listened to this in my home country. Why? Simply just because :)... and that kinda gives me a feeling of uniqueness and that's f**king marvellous. Guess which country I live in(?!)

It's great to see players like Steve come out and blow EVERYBODY's mind where before he seemed like one of those 80s maestros of old who didn't have anything new to offer. It's inspiring ... I wanna be like that when I get older. And also you, Tyler ... I watched one of your jams during my work break today and caught myself saying "nice" and being inspired to pick up my guitar time and again. Let's all just keep going. It's a great place we're in, even though standards are getting ridiculous, but that's just who we are.

OMG! What an amazing interview! I’ve been following Steve’s music since the middle 1980s. It started with the David Lee Roth Band, branched out in Zappa, his solo stuff, his studio stuff with PIL, the album with Whitesnake, and then back to his solo stuff again. What an amazing musician, what an amazing showman, and all around a great guy. I met him very briefly at Focus II guitars back in the late 80s. It was more of “sorry, excuse me” moment, he was leaving the store as I entered and I literally bumped into him. It wasn’t until I went to pay for my picks that I realized…that was Steve Vai! It was a guitar shop in the late 80s, lots of guys were copying his look and really, what are the odds of bumping into Steve Vai on a Saturday afternoon in Patchogue, NY? Like most of the musicians I know, while he does like to show off his talent, always humble to the fact that people show up and listen to his creations. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Keep rockin’🤘🏻

Steve is such a purposeful guitar player. Every little bend and touch and note is meticulously thought out. I prefer the Trey Anastasio approach of trying to think about what you’re playing as little as possible and just let your training and your ear guide you, but when Vai is firing on all cylinders (and he has been for the last two years.) he makes his presence felt. This is legendary stuff.

You'll never hear this song on radio. The radio is too small of a platform and its audience too musically inept to appreciate. They want to hear soppy rhyming lyrics inside relatively simple musical arrangements as opposed to the mastery of Steve Vai. By the way, when time stands still you are in the zone. You become breathless. Paramahansa Yogananda said many times that breathlessness is deathlessness. I've only experienced it one time at a Yoga retreat called Ananda. It's a state of ecstasy. A state of pure bliss.

Steve always has incredibly useful insights and advice, not just for creatives but for life in general. It's always a treat to listen to him expound on how he views life.

I love how he needed shoulder surgery, but his primary concern was not being able to pull off this incredible artistic feat. There is no other guitarist that intentionally challenges himself and forces growth like Steve Vai
