[@user-te3qq1rb7u]

No one plays like Vai. Guy has been at it for decades and is still bringing fresh ideas to the table with each release. Tremendous.

[@ntartaris]

One of the main things I love about Steve. AS much as I love Eddie and Satch, their playing and solos/riffs/music just completely stagnated after they found their happy place.

[@esmith4310]

Isn’t it incredible?!?!?! He is simply amazing!!!!

[@Jedizen07]

What a great year for music! New Iron Maiden, a new Nita Strauss album, another superb Liquid Tension Experiment album, a new Dream Theater disc, a Beatles Documentary, tons of new guitar sounds. . . and to cap it all off, a brand new Steve Vai disc. This tune sounds totally amazing ( REALLY love the phrasing on this one!! ). Stay healthy and well everyone, so we can see our heroes back on the road!

[@stephenmartin6733]

Totally agree on the musically Wow on those new albums.

[@aarotdelao1279]

I am waiting for the new Haken release

[@Despond]

"That sounds like Steve Vai". How hard it is to be able to have your own unique sound when there are thousands of great technical guitarists but all sounding the same. That's when you know you're a pioneer and innovator that will be remembered.

[@jothamedward9564]

The accuracy of this comment 👌👌

[@jaythornhill]

A sound all of his own. Always experimenting, yet immediately identifiable. Past 60 and still pushing the envelope.

[@smn1085]

im an amateur musician i read he uses lydian mode usualy. im still getting how to squeeze it. while i write this comment i heard at 5:47 an absolutely beautiful note... hope someday i find the key to compose like this.. this is absolutely great

[@smn1085]

at 0:44 he plays the same note i think. im talking just for the feeling it gives to me. do you think the same?

[@kang_min_nal_ra]

That's just not true at all though. Also, that's what a lot of the fans of those other great technical guitarists are saying lol. I could probably name 20 guitarists off the top of my head who have their own unique sound - from metal alone, as that's what I'm most familiar with

[@free_jazz]

There is no better news to end a year than music news. Especially if maestro Vai releases a new album. Thank you for lighting this world with your music

[@istillsuckatguitar]

New album Jan 28, I think.

I couldn’t figure out how to describe it, but yeah.

[@lunantix]

Have you been living under a rock? We all know steve vai is actually a 4th dimensional alien here to give us kick as music.

[@tuncvidinli]

A great mastery not only in guitar playing but also in music theory and composition.

Can't help but imagine Holdsworth soloing over this amazing progression. Papa Steve did it again. Thank you ❤️

[@DavidNwokoye]

What a pleasant surprise, I wasn't expecting new Vai today 😊😊

[@MobiusBandwidth]

you never know when he will strike! :D

i said the same thing when i heard this and teeth of the hydra..fire garden lol..steves magnum opus

[@chris33513]

Loved it it right after the first 1-3 seconds. Everything past that time cemented my first impression. He is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Incredible Steve! Really took me to another place. Love it!

[@ryanparadis1973]

Let him hear it mike 😎🤘

[@azharkhan8796]

Refreshing and a little dark. The dissonance is perfect. Like it lots. Bring on the atonality and the Stravinsky.

[@videowatchr5565]

Music man did good musik

[@lynnbrown6603]

So fortunate to have seen Steve Vai play last night in Napa, CA. Two and a half hours of pure musical genius. Thank you sir! Certainty a performance I will never forget.

The most rare and mature song of Steve vai. Is the album of the year.

New Vai work is a treasure, Steve. Wow every time, thankyou. Perhaps you don't understand what it feels like to be the fans. The sound nourishes the ears and soul. We know what we love. You are big , we are not talking about Ottmar Liebert here. I mean, I'm sure he draws a crowd, but...

[@diegoquevedo2204]

you are an example as a musician but even more as a human being, thank you Mr vai

Where you was 35 years with this song ?!? Only NOW - he coming this song … you understand ! Only NOW - you (steve vai) feel ….”this moment for - this song” ! ❤️

I can always hear Frank's influence in all of Steve's music.

It's been a long time since I hadn't been shaken by this unique atmosphere, the one only Steve Vai can create when he's at his most dark and luminous point at the same time. This what this song awakes in me. Thanks...

[@VastMind108]

Woooow!!! Gorgeous song by my fave guitarist! Coltrane taught me to bliss out in the dissonant melodies and I'm connecting with that joy with Little Pretty.. Thankyou Steve!

Su questo pianeta... c'è un solo uomo capace di rendere la chitarra elettrica cosi libera ed indipendente , cosi padrona dei sentimenti , cosi ribelle e sofferente.. che quasi quasi sembra impadronirsi di lui stesso che la suona...lui è un grande artista...un grande maestro... ..e si chiama Steve Vai. 😎👍

[@FrostSwirls]

Love this so much I can't stop listening to it. Another level of music in the Vaiology hemisphere. Keeping this on loop until I get the new album.

[@AlleGomesOficial]

Outstanding... Steve being Steve! his sense of music is amazing. I love you man!

[@ryankharl]

Its sounds like a beautiful painting. This separate Vai from the rest like Yngwie who plays the same minor lick on all his songs. Pure technical and other wordly wizardry.

[@ghophuckurselves3562]

Yngwie is literally OWNED by Steve! That swedish meatball JUMPS when Steve calls with another "Generation Ass" tour offer, cos' its the only gig that allows him to pay for his wife's daily shopping sprees.Playing for the same 100 or so boomer guitarists in a bar over and over ain't cutting it. TRUST ME, I know firsthand.HAHAHAHAHAH!

[@donewithmodernlife]

This randomly popped up in my recommended. While I am a guitarist with wide ranging tastes I’ve never been into Mr. Vai even though I have tremendous respect for him as a musician. This is great! I love the dissonance & so many great guitar tones! If this is where he’s going I’m here for it.

[@jmthompson437]

A LOT Pretty!

[@jmthompson437]

Echo-reflective of "Ultra Zone"!

[@Bikewithlove]

This is probably the most beautiful guitar composition I’ve ever heard. I can’t wrap my head around how impeccable this is, plus knowing and trusting Steve can play this live as well or better… I think that’s it - I trust him.

[@xguitar123]

Steve is a pioneer in the guitar instrumental world and he has come a long way and with new music. Unique and innovative guitar instrumentalist who has inspired old and young and future generations to come. Simply an Amazing guitarist and only one guitarist comes along like Steve Vai.
