I have had a lot of requests over the years to do a full cover of “Tender Surrender” by Steve Vai, so I finally got around to recording and making a video for this amazing song!
Gear used to record:
Guitar - Ibanez PIA Panther Pink
Amp - Axe FX 2 XL+
Pedal(s) - Fractal Pedal for Wah
Camera #1 - Sony RX100 III
Camera #2 - Sony FDR AX-33
Camera #3 - Go Pro HERO 5
Camera #4 - Canon XF400
I'm open to song cover suggestions, but I'll most likely keep covering Satch/Vai since I mainly listen to them and I already know how to play a lot of their songs. Leave a comment if you have any suggestions though! ^-^

What kind of effects were you using? Sounded great btw!

[@PrismoeLive]

Don’t know if you’ll read, but I’ve been watching you since early 2011 and was even in one of your Minecraft giveaway livestreams. You inspired me to pick up guitar and to love Steve Vai’s music. I started playing for 2 years, and gave up from never finding a good teacher and just teaching myself. Not only 6 months later I got into a severe motorcycle accident and might not get full use of my left hand back. If I do end up recovering with my hand injury, I’ve made a promise to pick up the guitar again. Thanks for everything and all your content, you’re a phenomenal guitarist.

[@Scott.guitar]

But slow recovery is better than none

[@octoowen1234]

have you recovered yet

[@M3RKMUS1C]

this guy stole my geetar >:-(

[@pcstraut4821]

I’m surprised you didn’t do it with the rock mirror Jem

[@Wendigo1st]

hire face booce to hunt him down with his akooshtic guitar

[@gageman5000]

This solo is really badass man nice job

[@sharkbait5243]

Beautiful guitar

[@jaguareagle7026]

You can really hear the difference between a PIA and a JEM this is amazing!

[@korat10]

For sure. Honestly not a big fan of the PIA. My heart and ears are still with the JEM

[@Daniel-Baazov]

This is beautiful Erik! I’m glad you got me into geetar buddy. Been playing for around 4 years now!

[@Wendigo1st]

holy FOOK that was sprunktidilicious for real though, I don't think i have seen such fretting hand movements like you do, your technique is incredibly odd yet it just works so incredibly well, super tastyful and great cover, i enjoyed listening a lot!

[@ThePopeNuker]

Another cover! I’ve always loved your Satch ones, glad to see some Vai

[@doom3648]

I love this song and Steve Vai kicks ass. This an awesome cover.

[@shadowspider4140]

Genuinely the best cover of this song I've ever heard

[@richlovesfnaf4736]

In my opinion. Steve Vai’s best solo ever, even more than “For The Love of God”. The way he executes this is so stellar.

[@sixoid4104]

Omg. My fav Steve Vai song!!!

[@bradynkesti8969]

That guitar looks exactly how it sounds: majestic, beautiful, fluid and a vibe😍😍

[@snehasishbiswas8759]

Truly beautiful m3rk

[@loukasphilippidis8401]

That's an awesome cover I'm so glad you covered this!

[@finnadams6148]

unreal, true enough to the original, but with your own added flair. this is what covers should look like. well done mate

[@ArcanistAbridged]

[@pcstraut4821]

After watching one more Steve Vai cover of this song I want to thank you for changing my mind about buying a pia. I’ll stick to Gibson. I’ve never seen so many Steve Vai clones in my life. It’s disgusting

[@Flignak]

Beautiful
