Steve Vai - Taurus Bulba

[@Soundillusions94xyz]

Why do Steve's hands look so special? Like, he's hands are unique, I noticed that Steve's hands look so elegant and unique when he plays, It's not only his music but his hands as well. Steve has the coolest looking hands, specially when he plays, it's like a beautiful dance, so effortless and delicate. There's many others that look great too but Steve....... Steve is the real deal.

[@geraldbejarano2687]

Whole Steve performance is elegant and sophisticated

[@fmills1583]

His drummer is the Steve Vai of drumers.

[@maxquad6846]

Jeremy Colston is a beast on thx kit.

[@larryrock11]

Jeremy!!

[@claudioalexandresousa2082]

Sim, faz um ótimo trabalho!!! Mas gostaria de ter visto o baterista original que compôs essa música tocando ela ao vivo

[@RevinFreddy]

Hey did you see this? Killer! About 5 minutes through I start to think Steve Vai likes to make his songs last forever. He tries to put every new trick he’s learned or created into every song, as if, if he stops playing the world will come to an abrupt end, and he’s not gonna let that happen. And God bless him…

[@SopaoVideos]

1:53 That was, undoubtedly, one of the most brilliant moments in my life watching a guitar player. Steve is unique. What feeling and performance live (as always)!!!!

[@MrTaask]

He really is a hell of a live concerts beast

[@dooberheim]

2:44 A Marvelous Little Arpeggio!!

[@Soundillusions94xyz]

I know exactly what you mean, But what I have learned over the years, is that no matter how cool other people look, being yourself will make you look cooler, and stand out from everybody else, because you're being you not someone else, you're not like many people out there that seem to be robots copying each other and doing the same things other do. Steve is probably one of the most talented humans I've seen, but realize that you can be one too, unique and awesome, just like Stevie.

[@roshake]

Did anyone notice that Steve throwing the plectrum in the beginning is the signal for the band to start playing (when it lands)! What a fucking boss.

[@Adrian-dl9nb]

And the same for finishing the song! So cool.

[@DeepenWadhwa]

That extra section that he added in this version is so beautiful and fitting, love it!

[@halimtantan8378]

so many talented guitarist around the world but no doubt Steve Vai is top master,...highly skill & creativity make him one of million. and i become big fan /follower over 30 year be my big influence. .. as a big fan normally, always want to be his idol and become my passion..maybe its not my jurny, i am from Asia 3rd world 30th yr ago its poor country be..how come to develop your dream if nearly studio for jamming need more 3 our by bus...very sad but throe ...its to old for me and to late ...only get my personal electric guitar age 43yr.. even i can ply but its not good enough like my idol , its only in dreaming ...uu..uu..

[@mptmtimwilliams]

I've played guitar for many years and by far Steve Via is truly the best I have heard. Very Very Talented!

[@KimilitoZero]

this is one of the greatest show songs ive ever heard, it is so intense in all its movements! such a tremendous composition and arrangement..... he is a true master.

[@chelchel12321]

steves playing is unmistakeably his own , its indescribeable ,LOVE IT!

[@Linky365]

One of most powerful steve's songs ever....

[@g-ed0818]

2:54 my favorite melodic part

[@MrUldahl]

The pat at 3:29 Is absolutely terrific. How the hell he managed to hit the notes without any effort, is beyond my understanding.

[@namklak6]

He closed his 2013 show in Denver with this - tears of joy. I had never seen him play this live and he normally closes with The Attitude Song.

[@elitejams]

The hip swing pick slide at 1:29 is the most epic move in rock ever.

[@simpledudeable]

Goddammit, I envy Vai. Perfect hair, perfect skills, epic creativity, excellent charisma, etc. Please tell me I'm not the only one that wishes he could be in Vai's shoes for at least a week.

[@FZmustacheFZ]

I fucking love how he's just rocking out at the beginning. He knows this is gonna be the shit.

[@yake222]

His hair is as glorious as his guitar playing!!!

[@MrThecamillone800]

Pezzo incredibile.Steve come al solito incredibile.Dave Weiner grande spalla...Qualke anno fa ho suonato insieme a Dave durante un seminario, persona squisita

[@faithandpractice]

Here's the deal with Steve. Steve can, quite literally, technically execute anything possible on the guitar. What do you do when you can do anything. Well heck from that point it's a matter of exploring a sounds and textures. At that point it's a matter of taste and if someone likes his style or not.

[@PainterParts]

+John Rodgers Well, I sure-as-shit like it

[@rusher1977]

he cant do everything

[@FelixM946]

Dude, the man is a god! I've never seen him mess up during a concert. He sure as hell can do anything! - If there ever was such thing as a "Guitar Virtuoso" it's Steve!

[@Goorlel]

No he can't do everything but there are very few guitarists on the same technical level as steve

[@faithandpractice]

I would actually disagree. If there is something that can be done on the guitar, if you give him some time to put it together, he will execute it. That's just my take.

[@FearCycle]

I'm constantly in awe of his playing in every video I click. What a master/

[@oxouk]

I love his phrasing in unison with the drummer. I'm looking at the drummer thinking..."hang in there, hang in there" then BAM! he nails it. What a great player. Such a joy to watch.

[@ChimeraAZ]

Just in case someone might not know who Taurus Bulba was:::: Taras Bulba (Russian and Ukrainian: Тара́с Бу́льба, Tarás Búl'ba) is a romanticized historical novella by Nikolai Gogol. It tells the story of an old Zaporozhian Cossack, Taras Bulba, and his two sons, Andriy and Ostap. Taras' sons studied at the Kiev Academy and return home. The three men set out on a journey to Zaporizhian Sich located in Southern Ukraine, where they join other Cossacks and go to war against Poland.

[@picklevai16]

3:51-4:09 thats the coolest damn thing i've ever seen!!!

[@markhenson1427]

steve vai is a amazing guitar player!palm mutting,whammy tricks,tapping,playing fasy.beautiful melody!

[@wayvicle]

Joyous fiddling! I like Violin in Rock. It's such an unexpected pleasure.

[@styga1969]

Great guitarist. .. is right up there with the great late Jimmy H and Stevie Ray... I can listen to SRV all day....

[@spud2ooo]

his technical stuff blows my mind. and what i like is his showmanship

[@Luckas13x]

4:18, Perfect synchronization between Steve and the drummer!!! Simply amazing!!!!!!

[@WilfridRUN]

WhaooW! it's magic,i love the improvisation of master Vai! he's got everything,the guitar sound is just perfect!

[@Doomhamar]

every time i watch Steve Vai im mesmerized every freaking time!!!!! and i repeat the video about 10 times till i have to go do something els after i come back and watch another video same thing :DDDDD

[@bertrand403]

Steve Vai: soo cool and THE BEST

[@georgelsgomes9634]

These live performances is too much overpower. Jeremy Colson is a very impressive drummer and also in 2009 Ann Marie Calhoun(on violin) played with Yanni.

[@gnrcr]

The phrase starting at 0:36 oh my god, it totally locks into the groove, it's so perfect.

[@HermelJaworski]

The entire show is Steve Vai at his best !

[@matheusmartinslacerda3614]

Hoje o ano é 2023 e ainda estou a ver a raridade e profundidade dessa performance.

[@nolan067]

absolutely AWESOME!

[@rafa_mds4306]

Beautiful 5:14 !!!

[@iksoinemod]

My GOD!!!!! This guy just does't rest!!!! He's not human!!

[@laikaproductions8062]

Some read Taurus Bulba and think of the concept from John Locke about the blank slate of mind we have before outside experience, I just think of Tauros and Bulbasaur.

[@eliodurando9131]

Yo creo que hace referencia al origen de la humanidad, que proviene de la galaxia de tauro... O al origen de steve vai👽

[@muzmalek]

Exactly

[@TheGuitarManUK]

always amazing me how clean and precise his playing is.

[@trbmiaumiau]

i wanna a celtic thing too i'll love it with my life.. specialy with the guy in the violin.. AMAZING

[@MapleLeafAce]

I wanna see Vai compose something with an almost Celtic feel, because there are a few times in this song feeling awesomely celtic, and I'd like to see a full rendition of those.

[@cesarecarimati9631]

bellissimo pezzo. grazie Steve

[@oldenir]

o cara toca muito!!! uma das melhores músicas dele!!!

[@brendanpius930]

Steve. Remember the WARRIORS who made what you do in your simple life. They gave the ULTIMATE.

[@AbhinavBorah]

I know it's coming very late, but in the intro and in few parts you can hear a bit of Dream Theater - This Dying Soul style licks and that's pretty cool imo

[@kevinmcguinness1113]

Should be the other way round, considering this was released seven years earlier :-)

[@faithtwelve]

The master at work...

[@rawrisimo]

The thing I like the most about Steve Vai is the slides that he does while playing super fast. That, combined with a wah effect are basic parts of his own style. Not to mention the feeling all of his songs have.

[@Marubache]

Taurus Bulba it is person from Mykolas Gogol "TARAS BULBA" it sounds like Ukrainian traditional musik))) Hello From Kyiv!

[@JPetr94]

Hello mate! :) 🇺🇦

[@robertrowan9893]

Them bends after 6:10 are some of the best he's ever...picked. Can really get list in bends and vibrato with thus guy.

[@ET505]

Memories of Steve Vai when he played 2nd guitar to Zappa when he was 15.

[@stitcha123]

That never happened

[@TheEmilkl]

Calms me down and gives me energy at the same time...dat' Steve :D

[@zzhallaj]

Wow! so very good. I'm blown away.

[@sergiofernandez2336]

5:18 Awesome!!

[@simpledudeable]

The hair is everything.

[@richc3440]

Ambassador Vai is a brilliant expressionist of musical communication.

[@caseywilson7768]

Musician, magician and 100 percent rockstar

[@achemachew]

Steve Vai will always be a badass!

[@CelebrityCyborg]

True that! Enjoy the Summer Solstice. Have a great weekend. :)

[@taboosun]

Holy shit. I just got the biggest chills ever listning to this song.

[@SyoaranStardust]

@TheGandtheK I'm positive he put those on, to stop the strings from getting stuck underneath the side of the pickup, when he bends the strings all the way down to a low growl.

[@jimmypage5643]

Steve Vai has class ! Swag is for guys, Class is for men.

[@Capitantroner]

EXPECTACULAR!!

[@stilz0]

Guitarist extraordinaire!

[@pigletized]

So Amazing!

[@ertansaygi]

In one of his interviews i remember him saying "i studied on not only what i play but how it looks effortlessly and like flowing" kinda thing :) "Practice makes it perfect" :)

[@curiosidicas]

O músico mais brilhante e completo da atualidade.

[@espejocielotierra]

agus2ab Thank you very much for this great video !!!

[@rsimolla]

Amazing!!!!!...

[@jimenaailinberasayanaquin8853]

Amor de mis vidas! ♡

[@th3who777]

You educate the world! and you're a little more than what we can actually take!

[@RockstarDaniel]

@PhilosopherOnWeed it really depends on the tuning and sound preference heavy guage strings used in conjunction with floyd rose systems are usually used for very low dropped tuning guage 9 strings are best used in standard to the drop d ranged of tuning 10 guage can be used in drop d and in some cases standard to provide a ''thicker'' tone

[@GEORGE_JATZ]

GORGEOUS

[@Barefoot67]

steve's left leg has got a life of it's own when he plays live, its wild

[@MapleLeafAce]

this guy deserves bigger venues...

[@RockinTucci]

LOVE THIS PIECE

[@CriticalMassCongregation]

I like how you started the list with perfect hair. Gotta have priorities.

[@Nichols08Guitar]

I really like how this turned out.

[@patricioaguirre8713]

Excellent 😀😀😀😀😀! !!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JoePruzhanovLi]

2 people were so mesmerized by how amazing this was, that they accidentally clicked dislike :D

[@SwampDuck]

Вай восхищает. После такого произведения, ещё и так великолепно сыгранного в живую можно просто требовать три звёзды в ряд на алее звезд ))

[@ph6364]

that bassline are incredible!

[@gianlucacaliendo]

i love this man

[@rayrivera1830]

pretty epic he has a fan blowing his hair at all times.

[@arizona6494]

BRAVO...!!!!

[@TheTyrynir]

@me86680 He doesnt need them he gets it from the guitar and gives it back man. Plus theyre all dazed b his awesomness and he gets the energy from the rest of the universe that cant control themselves when they hear him.

[@christofermendrez]

freaking awesome!!!

[@ironwolg]

oh i see, well that's nothing to worry about right now, you're still beginning so don't stress too much over it. what you have to do right now is keep that passion driving you and never lose it. that and technical skills are what you need to be concerning yourself with right now. keep practicing barre chords until they become easy to you and then you can play them in a more relaxed manner. then work on learning the major scales and all its modes, let me know if you want a video posted on it

[@MrRoden96]

Steve Vai, the sophisticated metal head.

[@lennypersonalized]

You can hear the Zappa influence here. Magic!

[@prophet3011]

pure injection of damn cool music!

[@overtimefreak2685]

Sympathisch, der Mann, mit reichlich Gefühl für Schräges in den Fingern....

[@poethyde]

Astounding

[@gnrcr]

His pick has more authority than anyone else onstage but him.

[@Nanusia68]

I LOVE THIS!

[@TheAudiorub]

intro all day
