Steve Vai - "Lotus Feet"

[@melodiejones7100]

This is for all those who think Steve Vai is just another shredding rock guitarist. He is simply the best guitarist on the planet and an amazing composer. Bravo!

[@emilianocordoba6470]

Yep, he is the Best!

[@scrap8930]

Can't wait to see him for the 5th time this November in Detroit....as a guitarist myself, this man has been a huge inspiration 🤙

[@scrap8930]

@@Omar_E11Awesome show. The guy still brings it, and that was actually the second time I've seen him live. He was about 25 years younger the last time, but I enjoyed this just as much if not more. ...Steve is still an incredible composer and showman 👍

His tech is a guy named Thomas Nordegg who lives in LA. Awesome dude. If there's a way to hook anything up, he will hook it up. He can dim the lights in his apartment from his guitars and he has THE biggest damn pedalboard rig in his living room. Just a truly awesome guy. And he truly loves the tech gig. He's also doing Guthrie Govans guitars right now.

Not "Norgegg", his name is Thomas Nordegg.

Vai is pretty legendary.

[@guitarmanrichard]

Melodic sense! Dynamics! Originality! In my opinion, the greatest guitarist of his generation. Simply astounding!

[@Weissmenchland]

Steve Vai is absolutely brilliant. An inspirational guitarist.

[@jmatthews7228]

Most guitar players are straight technicians of their craft but Steve is a composer first and uses his technique to make his compositions shine

[@l.r.r.s7535]

Oh man, after seeing Steve play a few weeks ago I appreciate him so much more. The guitar is, obviously, without peer, but oh man.... his personality. He cracks me up so much now that I saw him in person. The cheesiest, 70's hair metal/sexytime faces + oblivious pompousness + dad jokes.... it's hilarious....

[@sanjayyethipathi]

the motif is one of the catchiest things ive ever heard

[@noamstraus2109]

this is what you show people when they say Vai has no feel and just plays a million notes per second. truly amazing and emotional and the orchetra just helps everything. definitely my favorite version of the song maybe my favorite song but i didn't fully apreciate it untili heard this video. One of the many reasons i love this man and his music

[@manuelpedrosd]

It's not just the million per second notes and the lack of feel (Gilmour has more feel in three notes than Vai in 300), it's his tone, that sounds crap, and the fact that he doesn't adjust his tone along the tracks. He always sounds the very same

[@aghoriguitarist]

@@manuelpedrosd 😂😂

[@aghoriguitarist]

I hardly saw people dare to talk about Steve except a few like the winner we have in this comment section

[@manuelpedrosd]

@@aghoriguitarist the composition is uninteresting and crap, the playing is unexciting, he looks very uncool while he is playing it all over the place

[@pickloy8045]

​@@manuelpedrosdfirst of all what the hell, second of all this wasn't written by Steve Vai, it is a song by John McLaughlin and this is a cover

[@box1467]

What blows me away about all of these virtuoso guys and gals is *not* the fact they have the technique and skill to play the notes.... but the fact they actually *wrote* such beautiful and wonderfully complex music in the first place. Playing it 99% note for note live is equally as jaw dropping. Thanks for the vid !

[@Big_Uncle_Randy]

My Wifey and I got to meet you Steve after your concert at the Moore Theater in Seattle in Sept 2007..you were gracious enough to come outside and chat it up with us for quite a while...loved talking guitars and tours with you it made my whole year!!!...and thanks again for signing my OG Passion and Warfare cd and the poster that came with it...Loved your work since the Zappa days...

[@arikorizki2465]

I think this is the best guitar solo of all time, maybe only made once every 100 years. Steve Vai goat

[@stratcat3216]

Not only do I think Steve is a great guy in person.. in real life.. I think he's one of the best ever Plus.. he took his natural talent then WORKED on it.. worked on it hard and continues to. He's as much a composer, writer as he is a player, performer. which.. in itself is incredible. Bless all the good that music can bring!

[@paulwomacks117]

This song put tears in my eyes the first time I watched Steve Vai playing it. Beautiful!!

It's really amazing, right? Rediscovering an artist I'm diving deeper into metal, technical prog, etc. Stev Vai is amazing.

[@paulaalexander1]

@@arunkarthikma3121 I've actually been looking up some older songs, Free bird, War pigs, Aerosmith, dream on ect. For a long time about 5yrs I 2as living on a Island in Queensland called, Russell Island. Although in the front part of the Island where the shops were it has internet but i i lived down the other side where I had no internet, no radio signal. Even watching tv was hard getting channels especially when it was windy or bad weather. I felt so disconnected. Now I'm back on the mainland and basking in endless styles of music. It was beautiful and peaceful living on Russell Island but so far away from life. It would be the perfect place if you were retiring and wanted to fish all day. Which I do love to do but so far away from family and friends. Especially missed my music. Now I have a huge device called a Neighbor Hater and I love it loud.

Throughout the time on earth there always has been a perfect living master of spirituality attracting all manner of human beings from the superb masters of the guitar as we see and hear today , Steve would give all credit to his guitar teacher,his parents and of course to his spiritual master. The state of outer expertise is a reflection of the inner love and devotion and practice a disciple has for the love of his master, he love of the instrument,love of the creator at His lotus feet.

[@piotrhobbysta5614]

Don't make "hinduistic" sects propaganda, OK? You have no knowledge of real meaning of the term "lotus feet" and its origin. It has nothing to do with India and hinduism! This term stems from ancient China ! BTW it's rather very bad custom of making women foots very small binding their foots! Sing your "hare krishna" yourself at your home!

[@CaptainBohnenbrot]

I have to correct you. Yes it's a terrible thing done to women. But the term is older than that. In chinese mythology lotus plants were thought to be the feet of a celestial being. Therefore Lotus feet are the feet of god. Later the term was also used to describe basically the deformation of womens feet.

[@pipergalvin2421]

Every single note he produces has a meaning to him, even those we listeners may find out of tune or not in place, which is why you will rarely see Steve improvising his compositions as opposed to many others who stray from original including Joe Satriani respectfully. Steve is simply another level composer and had he played a violin or piano several centuries ago he would probably be considered as one of the greatest composers ever.
