[@AnAceism]

@@pihermoso11 was not Joe his teacher?Vai asking Satriani to teach him how to play. This moment began a life-long friendship, and partnership between the two guitartists. Vai said, "I took lessons with him for three years and he was very good because he didn't tell me that I had to play like him or that I had to do things this way or that way.

[@pihermoso11]

@@AnAceism Joe was his teacher and taught him the basics, but when Vai went to Berklee and started doing side line work for Zappa's transcriptions that's the part where the compositional skills came to play, when has Satch ever composed something like 'Fire Garden Suite'? prog rock with changing time signatures, Satch is more of a straight rock guitar guy, and Satch songs follow a formula of intro verse chorus verse2 chorus bridge chorus outro, the only song that's weird on Satch' repertoire is 'Midnight' ,and I wished Satch diverted more away from the formula just like his song 'Midnight', Vai's complexity is evident on songs like Answers, Blue Powder, Die to Live, Fire Garden Suite, Attitude Song, Brandos Costumes, and all this complexity is more attributed to Zappa than Satch, Satch remains on his safe zone with his compositions and I don't have a problem with that because that's his style, Zappa was more adventurous with his compositions and so is Vai

[@LordPrutsikas]

Although Steve can play anything at any speed like virtuoso's do he still maintains a human touch to the instrument. The way he holds the guitar and his finger run around the neck is very natural, it's like he has a very close relation to the instrument, he is feeling it in a way. And his unique playing style really explodes when it comes to very fast licks. Its astonishing how he manages to maintain his phrasing quality even at ultra high speed making the licks he plays speak. I haven't seen this in any other so called "virtuoso", most fast players when it comes to shredding play metronome exercises...Steve Vai refuses to do that and creates music even in unnatural for most humans speed. That's why many people cant understand his music/ find it frustrating etc. You really need a very high rank of musical understanding and a very good ear to get this stuff.

[@Soundillusions94xyz]

I have to agree. Steve's music pulls on your ears. This music really isn't for everybody. There's these little nuances in his playing, all these little elements packed together. It's really fascinating, if you listen closely he plays some of the most mellifluous things on the instrument. One of the things he's very good at doing, and something not very common in western musicians is playing harmony instead of melody. Most musicians are stuck with playing harmony over a melody, and pull out a series of runs and licks very tightly connected to the backing melody, it becomes monotone and predictable. The way I envision Steve's playing is like a sinuous form, he goes around and wanders a bit and then comes back. Even though the song is structured through a simple melody, he pulls out all these different ideas and flavors as he goes, he's not just stuck to similar phrasing like most musicians are. I can really see the influence of eastern musicians on Steve, eastern music is known for playing a lot of harmony and less melody. Steve does the same thing here, therefore, for people unfamiliar with world music and folklore, they don't understand Steve Vai one bit.

[@777fiddlekrazy]

Soundillusions94xyz It helped alot growing with Frank Zappa fer a Bit. alot of Orchestral and whimsical passage in his music. He Truly has Fun playing and his "Showboatin" as some may call it, is reminiscent of a Child at Play with the technique and expertise of a True Master class!

[@777fiddlekrazy]

Fiddlekrazy Steve It is fun watching him come up with new material with a band. he sort of does his "Conducting" similiar to Frank Zappa. Haha! Of course Frank Zappa had a Bunch of eccentric hand signaling and stuff that the band would need to recognize and play @ Command. FZ another underrated guitarist for his day.

The lick at 4:07 blows my mind everytime. 1 note, thats all he needed

[@AshleyShafty]

His emotions are magic. The way he vocalizes and the way he elegantly feels for the instrument is something of true passion, Love you Steve

[@TheProfessorWilliam]

Who in there right mind, can say that this man is not an incredible guitarist? I am into Latin Jazz and fusion,,, and I still can hear this man do magic on that guitar. None of the haters can play anywheres near to him. The same for Joe S. INCREDIBLE.

[@marcogreco725]

I have been observing this introduction since I was 14 years old, today at 31 after practicing my instrument for 17 years non-stop, I can say that this man is the perfect connection between the instrument and the mind, incredible artist, thank you for sharing your music with us Steve!

[@xavilend]

All these years and wow this is still really something!

[@999NINE99]

This is just pure brilliance on so many levels. I couldn't speak English before I watched it and now somehow, I'm fluent.

[@Stalker_Umbra]

After watching this year's ago, I've come back to witness this beautiful sound of this guy sick guitar skills

thank you STEVE VAI...you are the greatest ...guitar-men.

[@KSguitarmusic]

One of the most astounding rock solos I've ever come across. I keep coming back to this every so often. Love the way two of the guitars are tuned to major chords a whole step apart. As has been said, the sound he gets from the 12 string is amazing- almost orchestral in character. His command of jazz scales, modes, arpeggios, you name it...all the tools are right at his disposal. Incredible improv ability.

[@Kraeezeu]

You think it can’t get more intense, but Steve keeps on adding energy

[@Giablo1]

One of the most impressive guitar showcases of all time

[@Mirrsey147]

How do you compliment the world's greatest rock guitarist? Have the world's greatest bass player join him on stage. Masterful performance!

[@andyparker2119]

Some say that guitar is still recovering from the finger blasting she just recieved 👍🍻

[@RadioEQ]

Steve Vai Rocks!!! Top 3 greatest guitar players of all time!!!

[@maxxgratte]

Vai is simply incredible, that emotions he bring to you... And what a feeling and groove from this drummer !

[@ludoecrudo]

This song never fails to get me in tears. Not just for the otherworldly arrangement, but also for its title, which reminds me of my late mum. When I listen to it, I know for sure she's still by my side.

[@nullovan7635]

This G3 was a phenomenal show with 3 magistral different (like Style)guitarist players . Great concert...🎸

[@KWE.ECLECTIC]

This guy freaks me out! It's not the impossibility of his playing, it's his wild imagination which allows him to have such a unique voice through his guitar. Brilliant as always.

[@Mah5sne]

The great master guitar solo.This is like having magic cast a guitar to life.

[@thecentralscrutinizer304]

😮exactly. I love it

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

12/3/23 and Steve still manages to crawl right inside and move your soul. One of the greatest guitarists of all time for sure.

[@jefferycamarda5258]

Something magical, transcendental happens at 4:50 I cannot explain with words.

[@georgemargaris]

it‘s the spice melange effect. When navigators jump to another solarsystem, that‘s the sound they emmit.

[@jondunmore4268]

Well, the top open-tuned guitar is hooked to an outboard choral effect. Oh yeh, and magic.

[@zekeiwa5837]

It really does sound angelical. My man Steve raised his power level so much he was about to break reality

[@musicmotorskate7540]

Steve Vai is my favorite living guitarist period, but lets not forget his band. Especially Tony MacAlpime on the keys and guitar.

[@greggoso600]

this is still one of the best ways to use a 3 neck guitar in 2018, the whole performance is stunning to say the least especially the intro solo has some incredible melody lines that only a man like steve vai can play with that articulation, the guitar truly sings

[@asifrubaiyatturjo5530]

this piece of solo is strong and powerful enough to make a dead man rise up in joy...what an absolute masterpiece !!!💘🧡💙💚
