Steve Vai - Knappsack | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@Guitar_Fella]

He's using several techniques here, hammer ons, pull offs, legato, magic, voodoo, alien techniques, and a hell of a lot of genius!

[@sudeephembrom325]

Haha

[@suprchickn7745]

Still innovating at (now) 61 years old!. Don't forget the masterful wah work!

[@kylesmith261]

@@suprchickn7745 Age is not a factor for Sir Steve. he could be on his death bed and still be doing fucking 360 backflips with his fingers.

Hahahaha 🤣 👍

[@danieljodrey8863]

He makes the impossible look effortless. What else can you say? He can literally play better than 99.8% of guitarists in the world with one hand tied behind his back. 🤯

[@kylesmith261]

who is the 0.2%?

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

Joe Satriani taught him & is THEE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER THAT WILL EVER LIVE! Just ask Steve himself!

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

@@kylesmith261 Who is the 0.2%? The man the taught him... JOE SATRIANI 🎸!

[@danieljodrey8863]

@@kylesmith261 those that he needs two hands to compete with. Guys like Satriani. I spoke backstage once with Joe and I told him what I always say about him " maybe you're not 'THE BEST' guitarist in the world, but there's nobody 'better' " It's a matter of taste when they get to that level. Joe is still my favorite.

Oh My, You guys are very good to me. I got such a kick out of watching this. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this charming and inspiring video. I'm happy to announce that I'm typing this with 2 hands, ha. You rock... Steve Vai

[@lightrays3595]

Steve Vai 'For the love of God' Live G3 1996. A must listen. I've seen it requested in other Vai reaction video's you've done. Your subscribers give great requests! PS: Do the 9:40 mins version

[@edar1283]

My favorite version of the song

[@マシュードーラン]

Steve Vai is a goddamn superhero! My favorite guitarist since I was a boy. Never fails to amaze, push the envelope and just outright floor us!

[@sergio_sosa]

In fact: Steve Vai recorded an album called "Alien Love Secrets", so probably he is a real alien!!!

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

But he learned from the alien surfer himself... JOE SATRIANI!

[@misterkite]

Your ending discussion reminds me, you should react to Jason Becker. He's a virtuoso guitarist who developed ALS after his first solo album and is unable to move or speak. He has since released 5 more albums using eye-tracking software.

[@suprchickn7745]

Developed by his amazing dad, too!

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

JOE SATRIANI, who Steve learned from. IS THEE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER THAT WILL EVER LIVE! Joe also taught Kirk Hammett of MetallicA.

[@choward874]

Steve has been the goat since the 80's! No one is as smooth as Steve!

[@squidly2112]

It's an interesting story too. His Dr's last name is Knapp .. so he called his arm sling the "Knappsack" .. LOL

[@philipshort7491]

MORE STEVE VAI !. Have a look at I'M THE HELL OUTTA HERE-- CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL, and BLUE POWDER, JIBBOOM, AND SHYBOY from a show I saw in London....Steve vai live at the Astoria London. You've still got to have a look at Steve acting in the 1986 movie CROSSROADS, the scene from the EPIC GUITAR BATTLE between Steve vai and RALPH MACCHIO (THE KARATE KID) best wishes from the UK.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Totally unreal, still!! Obviously one of the best ever!

[@stevenaustin4591]

Vai is often quoted as being unhuman, an alien of some sort cuz he's just THAT GOOD!!!! Holy Shit!!!! :)

[@MrMasapoika]

one of the guitar music gods!!!

[@bryanforis1839]

One of the best guitar player

[@psionic6126]

This technique is called "legato". I started playing the guitar almost 25 years ago and this is by far the most difficult stuff i've ever seen. Amazing

[@anitnec]

I am a big fan of Maiden and Dave Murray who i don't want to compare to Steve... i am not for comparison...so i am saying... Dave is famous for Legato . A very musical difficult technic too and this exibition is indeed musical by Steve Vai !

[@rolfnoch2422]

Really INCREDIBLE!!! Wow!

[@suprchickn7745]

His guitar is the Pia named after his beautiful wife of many years!. They've been married since the late 80s, I believe!

[@larskidd5983]

read his comment on how he recorded. thats the genius.

[@mousemacleod9184]

One handed and he can still manage to sound amazing, now that's amazing

[@Innerpeace89-b9c]

Don't mess with the God of Guitar!

[@deejayturtle]

You guys should check out Steve's protégé Yasi Hoffer, I'd recommend "Troubled" or "Sweet Autumn" album version to start as those are older songs of hers. YOU WILL LOVE HER.

[@kevinjennings238]

Hey Guys!!! So.......... In Future Concerts (I'm Praying for).... will he Perform This, Sitting Down and Holding the Strap???? I say THIS WILL be a Fan-Favorite Song when he DOES!!!

[@anitnec]

0'36" Honour Steve Vai is a Legend among Music 0'55" We hope Lady Suzi !! 1'15"-1'25" Glad if he is able now . And so on...Happy Mother'S Day for tomorrow . In italy it is going to be ; we celeb...maybe also in the States . From the principle this is the Steve Vai sound . 4'49" Travis immediately recognizes this frickin' passage eheh ! Absolutely spectacular the sound and the technic from 5'20" to 5'32" and from 8'41" to 8'56" . He exeperimentZ with the sonoritieZ GuyZ that is an important aspect ;-) you know my friends

[@russellwelton2474]

When he worked with Frank Zappa, Frank would introduce him as being on 'Stunt Guitar'. I think that fits rather well. Pretty sure the guitar needs a cigarette after that! 😮

[@kevinjennings238]

Hell Yeah! *Steve's Guitar's Therapist asks: "So... Where Exactly, did He TOUCH You?" **Guitar Says: "EVERYWHERE!!!".....(whimper, sniffle, takes a drag of a Cig) (BUT..... It was Consensual, so.....) tee-hee

[@gabifromhell]

Steve was credited in Frank's records as "Impossible guitar parts"

[@robc1394]

Andy Timmons is another guy I think you would like. Great tone and known for being one nice dude

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

Why do so many forget who even taught Steve? JOE SATRIANI is the greatest ever to play the guitar!

[@alexdevisscher6784]

What makes Steve Vai the coolest of all guitarists is the fact that he's not even trying to be cool.

[@chrisbayer6467]

Love me some Steve Vai

[@lonnieezell]

I know I'm late to the party here, but I heard the other day that this was primarily improvised on guitar to a click track, then he built the rest of the band around it. Out of this world skills.

[@Easy_Skanking]

Y'all should have seen Vai when he was in Whitesnake and would fuck his guitar as part of his solo piece. There is no one like Steve Vai.

[@jamestalkington6306]

Steve Vai is just that bad ass, the action on his guitars is SUPER sensitive, that's how just tapping on frets makes plenty sound without strumming.

You said it right, "only Steve Vai" Well maybe Bettencourt and Paul Gilbert could, but Steve is unique.

[@LemmysKilmister]

your reaction: "error - windows is shutting down"

[@StephenHayes-g4t]

Guys you have to play some Joe Satriani also, to see how Steve got his style of playing, because Joe Satriani taught Steve how to play his guitar, and Joe is very proud of what Steve has accomplished, also Joe and Steve have played many, many concerts together as the “G3” series of incredible performances by 3 separate guitarists with usually Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and other great guitarists who join Joe and Steve to make up the “G3” concept. “G3” meaning guitar three… Steve Hayes 🇦🇺👍

[@マシュードーラン]

Steve surpassed Joe in style and substance and I love Joe. He didn’t get his style of playing from him. Holdsworth is a much bigger factor in Steve’s style and yet that style is still only shared by one person. Steve…

[@StephenHayes-g4t]

There is still only one guitar teacher involved here, and physically that was not holdsworth. If it were holdsworth, I guarantee you that Steve would not be the same artist as he is today. The teacher propelled Steve toward his phenomenal style and I guarantee you that Steve will say that without Joe he would not have been the same player as he is today. Although holdsworth is great, he has never been Steve’s teacher, but one man was! Satch. 🇦🇺@@マシュードーラン

Please please PLEASE! REACT TO GRAVITY STORM! It's such a nasty riff it will have you exploding in your pants!

[@amoh5]

Steve is an awesome guitarist!!!!! But one aspect of his playing I get annoyed with is his changes in the droning of the bars, like he could be jamming on a harmonious droning lydian bar that I'm buzzing out on, then change to a darker confusing bar of other undesirable notes, like from harmonious emotions to darker confusing emotions, I really dislike that. Satriani does that too sometimes, one minute hes jamming to some beautiful harmonious bar of notes, then all of a sudden the notes of the bar changes to some dark confusing emotions of bar notes, so annoying. Oh well, like they say Where there's a high there's a low. If I was an expert guitarist like them I'd only jam out on a harmonious bar of notes, probably a lydian bar of notes, keep the spirit soaring higher and higher... 🎸 🤘 ROCK ON!!!!!

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

Bad Horsie. Next. Insane riffs

[@awalaway4023]

Pliss reation yanni live

[@misterkite]

That's some ridiculous skill. The gain has to be maxed on that guitar so that if you even breathe on the strings they'll ring. It takes some serious precision to not accidentally brush an open string and have it ruin a take. If I tried this, it'd just be a muddy cacophony.
