Steve Vai - The Space Between the Notes - Leg 1 (Rehearsals/USA)

Hey Folks, Steve here.
We are thrilled to be posting “The Space Between the Notes” one leg at a time (9 in total) once a week over the next 9 weeks, in full resolution! This bonus footage was culled from multiple sources including pics and vids from fans, band, crew, family, and myself. It’s a chronological video diary that has bits from each of the 253 engagements and 52 countries we visited on the last tour, “The Story of Light tour”. It was a glorious life experience for us and we are stoked that we can present it here for you, ENJOY!

Steve, in 74, a guy told me. "quit thinking about the notes.......think about where You place the notes....when i really focus, and feel.....i play half the notes i do when not entirely focused. Beautiful Analogy...Space between the Notes

Da Goods. Thank You Steve Vai and Everyone Involved. The Band, The Helpers Right Down to Your Fans All Around The World.

[@RushFanPix]

Thank You Steve! I have the DVDs, but I love having stuff here on KZbin, as well. :-) I can't tell you how many times I've gone through both disks, loving every moment of epic music, fun, beauty, and all around awesomeness! Been a huge admirer since a friend played "Passion & Warfare" for me, and to finally see you live in Atl. was beyond a thrill! It was a Dream come true, only better than I ever dreamed! Thank you so much... For so much wonderful music and inspiration over the years. Huge Love to you :-)

[@laurentlag3688]

Excellent, enrichissant, foudroyant comme son maître !

[@juan0assanelli]

Excelente idea!!! Una obra maestra más que agregar a la colección!! Me llego la notificación de este video mientras, casualmente, estaba escuchando "gravity storm".

[@magdalenadelarosa]

Fabuloso! Fantástico! Tu lo haces posible! Gracias Steve!

[@wingnutofcoolness]

I love that spot light coming out of the eye. (The music is good too).

[@nicolasrioscardona]

Faltarían palabras para decirte cuanto me has dado en esta vida pero sobran momentos para disfrutar de tu increíble e imparable imaginación y creatividad y aunque no me conozcas al escuchar tu arte escucho a un amigo que me da consejos y me impulsa a creer en mi mismo...¡¡¡GRACIAS STEVE!!!!

[@moleman1961]

Cheers, Steve! That was great! Say hi to the band for me and keep up the good work!

[@MikaTarkela]

Awesome! I've been waiting for this :)

[@zachcollins3349]

I Knew Steve would put it up for us! All hail Steve!

[@KipBrockett]

👍 Steve is THE MAN!

[@kermheat]

Thanks Stevai !!!!

[@ALtheDoctorWho]

Hay Steve I get a big Kick out of the intricacy of your writing process on the fly 7:09 when I was playing I used this process.Its remarkable how the human Brain makes a groove with out playing.I walked away did something else came back and now I can play the part LOL.I always enjoy watching your videos Steve thanks c];-D

[@ksams6099]

Thank you - your strings play my heart ;)

[@lirokiller]

Thanks for sharing .....

[@AWFChris2007]

What you did with that young man, Brandon was classic Steve , also very classy and mature. Your a God amongst men my friend. Keep being true. ♡Peace♡

[@yusazua]

Sooooo awesome

[@johndesselle5150]

you guys backin the 70s and 80s eddie vanhalen, there was no better to me,but since then to now steve vai is the most technical and untouchable

[@Wintersguitar]

12:16 ..."you just wrote a song, and I own the publishing"..., hahaha, Steve is so funny

[@Specksworld]

Love u Vai, wish u and Joe would do a G3 with the Weez ! SV, JS, DZ

[@jarrahdrum]

Thank you :-)

[@zVRTX]

Ha! Him with John frusciante near the end. Was wondering where those photos came from. very cool

[@2Side2Side2]

This is the hive mind among golden bees. All hail the Vai train!

[@whoohaaXL]

Had no clue Clint could shred like that. Always loved Sevendust, to see them jam with Vai is quite a rarity.

[@grahamharper8114]

It's unreal that Tyrone Magnus has more subscribers than Guitar God Steve Vai. Make more vids Steve maybe that'll bump up your total, keep pushing that envelope and you are the man.

[@Bysler]

Nice!

[@Rorynden]

Hi Steve You so amazing and i love you ;) I'm from Brasil and i lose your show ;-; maybe come back to Brasil,one day maybe Thank you for your music Sorry about my english Later :P

[@stevebhowanee164]

Hey Steve, think you should do a concert in Mauritius, you have many fans here.

[@michealravilob5607]

My city will forever go down in Vai history as having too many flies.

[@skyhorseprice6591]

The jam at the end needs to be bumped up in status, from _"cool jam yo"_ to _"aight, we got a new song!"_ Because it was badASS!🤜💥🤛🤟🖤💪🤟

[@Snowy0123]

Also can we get a Crossroads 2? I've never given to kickstarter but for that I would.

[@Gravitytubes]

You were rehearsing 'Mullah á tSi' with Jeremy on keys and was probably too much to make happen to play live on tour but I would have loved to see and hear that live. Maybe you can to a KZbin session with the backing track so we can see you play it live. It's such an expressive song and you make the guitar speak like nobody else has done.

[@FearCycle]

pretty rad

[@3831M]

The kid at about 29 minutes is not only incredibly lucky, but also a great player... Watched that bit more than once...

[@adrianlee3497]

Geeze what an intro I get it, I get it!!!LOL

[@xxxROCKRIPPERxxx]

come to new Saint John, New Brunswick Canada for Christ sake. everybody wants it. Harbour station coliseum. Good god steve.

[@Paolo8772]

Now I know my string changing ratio: Twice as much for the 2 thinnest as the other 4. I wonder when we'll see his (Thomas Nordegg)'s set up.

[@carlosjarquin28]

OMG i thought the intro Was going surfing with the allien haha

[@PavelChycherin]

Love that SH**!

[@doubop]

My brain enjoy Steve VAI

[@Hoodcanalbeachbum01]

the space between the notes, Thats Danchiva !

[@CorwinRussell]

nice harp!

[@Demka03]

Steve, when will we hear a new album? You promised a third part, right?

[@andyreasoner5289]

I wonder, how long strings are in tune after using whammy bar? If after intensive composition with them in action guitar must be changed to the new one during the concert? Are there any differences in time of keeping in tune among different models of good guitars like Fender or Ibanez, which are quipped with whammy/tremolo bar? Who knows? Thank you in advance for reply.

[@abnzg]

why oh why did the sonic blue paintjob not go into production

[@dmitrybabushkin9597]

"Unknow Location" maybe is somewhere Russia? Place like a "aktoviy zal" in any "DK". What do you think, Steve?

[@danaeverhart6487]

Like the infamous Buddy Rich said once , it's not the beats you play it's the ones you don't!

[@bodom078]

Go Morgan Rose!

[@tranepinnee]

What is the first song, cool intro!

[@Snowy0123]

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Jack Butler...

[@GabrieleMeurer]

Interesting that you have an intro in Russian, pachemoo?

[@homomartian8691]

Who knows, what is the Legacy (probably vacuum bulbs amp)? Why Steve is so "addicted" to this equipment, it is present on concerts, even in his house? It looks old. It is small so the power in Watts can't be impressive.

[@mariaelenakunstmann2713]

Noise gates. There are plenty. The noise supressor boss.

[@danieldavis4120]

what songs play at 27:38 and 28:01???

[@Alteccplow]

Taurus Bulba

[@anightmare2remember]

What's the song at the 30min?

[@ugie8851]

[@dthellland9738]

[@ISAACHALLEY3000]

FODA /,,/

[@beedomguitars]

Toyota MR2 in the background.

[@Jagilya]

Hmmm, Russian text is different :) but still beautiful!

[@rub800]

what does it say?

[@diatonicjon]

"We'll solo together in Bb." Nooo!

[@jadipeperzak4034]

INTERVAL ( THE SPACE BETWEEN TWO NOTES IS CALLED AN INTERVAL)

[@DM-kv9kj]

Yea but it's referring not to the interval between just two notes but the overall space between all notes.

[@andym28]

He is referring to the Debussy quote 'music is between the notes'

[@anonymousrabbit8933]

11:46 omg u cant say that to a little kid looool

[@PhantomBoy7]

Who else came here from Facebook? 😂😂😂✌✌✌

[@robchalmers2512]

thank you from lolo montana please come visit me it is very spiritual here.

[@dzre2087]

2016 AND VAI CAN'T GET A SYSTEM WITH NO BUZZ/HUM? Wow.

[@dzre2087]

I solved that problem years ago.

[@dennisparker4007]

His live tone never sounds as good as his records.

[@jnsgn8258]

You have to remember we're listening to a recording on KZbin, too.

[@dennisparker4007]

@@jnsgn8258 Tru dat.

[@ShiningTrapezoid]

Kinda shocked to see a smoker in Steve's camp tbh

[@spenspuma]

Bit boring after a while.

[@connorfox2856]

Fuck u, vais the master

[@PhantomBoy7]

Connor Fox u got that right bruh 👌👌👌

[@bxllyjxck4339]

I didn't know steve vai was into the occult, what a shame.
