Steve Vai for many people is the reason to play guitar. And also the reason to quit to play it.

[@alberthofmann5195]

+Camilo Sánchez Same feeling with Joe Pass and jazz guitar..

[@isthisguybotheringu]

Joe Pass is pretty cool, but playing gets kinda old. At a certain point, you just wanna tell him to stop playing so much and to calm down. Joe Pass is the beer of music; having a cold one after a nice day of work is really nice, but having one every time you come back home just gets really old and it looses its taste.

First of all, that’s beautiful. I guess Steve is like that as both and artist and a person; incredibly smart man, but he clearly feels emotions very deeply. It would make a lot of sense for his concerts to be like that, and even though I’ve never been to one, I’m stunned at the passion and strength he still managed to put into his playing. I’m glad you two had such an amazing experience. Second of all, you have the coolest wife ever.

@@boyharmon357 Yes I have put it down. Not because I tired of playing, but because it refreshes my mind. I know it may seem like a long time, but I find that if I take a couple of months away from playing…my playing and mind connection with my guitar improves. I don’t sit idly and do nothing. I tend to listen to a lot of music and explore new avenues of music. For instance, I listened to Gojira and learned their music. Didn’t play, but actually tried to see where they were going musically along with other bands in the Metal genre. I hope this helps you to spend some time not playing. I won’t tell you how long not to play. But try to at least take three or four weeks off. I think you will come back wanting to play refreshed. Peace

This solo is still INSANE. like, every aspect of it is insane. Steve Vai was my biggest inspiration when I started out 15 years ago and this is a solid reminder why.

After 5 years of training I was only able to play this song with my mouth. Thanks steve.. 😭

That’s probably the closest explanation to what this song makes you feel, the guy’s literally fucking the guitar from it’s melodies

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Steve is a genius. He's not just on another planet as far as creativity, composition and technique goes, he's in a different universe entirely. He is a true virtuoso player. It's no point comparing him to anyone else because he's in a class by himself. So much expression in this it's insane. What a remarkable feeling it must be to be able to spontaneously play what you here in your head. Thanks for being so amazing. You're an inspiration to us all.

[@AntonTheunissen]

He's absolutely great and it's a marvellous, expressive an touching solo but I don't think it's as spontaneous as you think. Just compare it with some live recordings. The solo is balanced, composed, built up well. For spontaneous genious check out some improvisations from Guthrie Govan.

[@wtebgvwerw]

joe satriani does the same thing for me

[@NitinKumar-xz8cz]

I watch all of your tutorials!! Thanks for being a great instructor!

[@IOxyrinchus]

He is absolutely astonishing. No other guitarist compares to him in terms of skill in my opinion. I saw him live in glasgow and he's just as amazing as they say, even more so when you're so close to him (it was a very small venue) it was the first show of the passion and warfare 25th anniversary tour and the first time he played the whole album through and it was like watching a god. To me he's the greatest guitarist of all time and my absolute favourite...unquestionably

[@LuisLopez-xo8rp]

Back Country Pastimes skill? John petrucci has him beat if we're talking about skill

I like when he corrects hair at 3:05 - 3:10 and stretched tremolo down on the guitar and it looks very cool and tricky ,what can I say he's genius ....
