Such a daring piece from Vai. The title reflects the music very well. It is rooted in a simple blues feel. The piece starts in familiar blues "language", but as we go further in the piece, Vai starts progressively speaking in "gibberish", mixing in foreign "words" and "phrases" into the familiar blues tongue, hence "Greenish Blues". At the song's climax, his tongue has morphed so much he is speaking in complete alien. An absolute masterpiece.

Love those dissonant notes he plays in between the "destination" notes. Sometimes going completely out of key but landing on the right note. It's very cool, like a controlled chaos. Makes his playing so unpredictable.

My mum died a week before this album came out and I recall listening to it back to back trying to understand what had happened and why. All the emotions were flooding my soul to the core and if I could sum up the way I felt this song does it perfectly... This small lady who was dressed in green was in a dream a week before her passing and said to be her mother. I should have known her time was limited. I'll always cherish Steve's music a true legend at speaking his emotions through his guitar. Thanks dude!

Steve Vai always a legend. Aside from the blues motif, he is totally in jazz/rock territory with this one, often playing outside and using unusual scales. The legato playing is phenomenal and it reminds a lot of the late great Allan Holdsworth (phenomenal solo). Steve Vai always pushing the envelope, one of the best of all time 🙂
