Steve Vai playing guitar, unplugged, while sitting on the shitter is exactly what I needed to watch today. ❤

[@rodox_sk8]

when legend tells you that the artists you follow are good, it means you're on the right path ,thanks Steve

[@selfactualizer2099]

Not really. He basically said to buy his guitar lessons, and then plugged a bunch of other youtubers, Like polyphia, they arent really very good, their songs and licks not very memorable, and they just shove beat/pop sounds into their songs. This is all just for money and its...kinda disappointing lol..

[@roballen980]

@@selfactualizer2099sounds like you’re just crying about polyphia lol

[@10khz97]

​@selfactualizer2099 guitar lessons? I don't think a lot of people buy those lessons, he's just giving new players some extra visibility About theory? So much easier than most people think You can literally learn 90% of it in few months, developing a solid phrasing? That usually takes a lot of time Mancuso and Ostro my favourites🤟

[@gregmullins5912]

Maby it means you are too self absorbed??

[@Dcba964]

Never realized how good Steve was for comedy 😊👍

[@Pat54guitares_Uku]

Funny video ! 😄 And good moments of music in the band intimacy.

[@T4llJak3]

steve is the best example on how to age gracefully and support the new generation

[@T4llJak3]

[@kevinbuchanan67]

I feel like I learned more about who Steve really is in 3 and a half minutes than I've learned since the early eighties. Love you, mr Vai and that's a hell of an ensemble you're putting together

[@c.a.k.comedy692]

Lol Steve’s humor is too good such a great personality

[@IanBouchardInstrumentals]

You listen to Steve Vai when you're a kid just starting your journey playing guitar, he blows your mind. As the years go by you discover new music, new players, study music, play for more than 25 years, and struggle...a lot. Then, after a really long time, you punch his name on the keyboard and watch him play. There it is, you are HOME. You can't overgrow Vai man, you just can't!

[@ilmelangolo]

e bravo il nostro Stefanello

[@MashaT22]

Wow, I wish I could afford to travel anywhere, but I’ve been very ill since 2018 and am on a very fixed income. This event would be super fun. My service dog and I (+ a medical aide) would totally enjoy getting to see Steve Vai and all these young Talented guitarists. I will never be a shredder, but I appreciate the art and athleticism behind it. There are many takeaways I can still find as a predominantly rhythm player, such as Marcin’s use of percussion on his guitar. I’m always mesmerized by Tim and Scotty as individuals who truly gel when they play together. As a female, I’m also proud and grateful that Steve also includes and respects female players in the predominantly male pro guitar game. It would be SO much fun to take part in this. Kinda sucks not to have money. Ahh, a girl can dream!

[@EdgeLoopGaming]

That's one hell of a lineup Steve, fantastic work bringing them all together!

[@Midnight.escape09]

Really want to go to this! I saw Steve the other night and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if calling it a show does it justice, it was more of an amazing, inspiring, spiritual revival experience, incredible!

[@yuliefelice5643]

The Pia is super resonant! ❤ love it!

[@majestic.feminine]

Stream it all to the world, Steve 💝✨

[@manocornuta]

A VAI Academy world tour we need🎼🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵

[@jeffpodrug8942]

That one with Tyler was hilarious! I can't wait to see what you're putting together, Steve, but I also can wait to see what Tyler does on Music Is Win. Guitar is such a close knit, yet huge fraternity that's exploding with talent all over world!! Thank you for all you do to set the bar and inspire people to fly completely over it. ✌️❤️🎸🤘

[@sneagles4974]

congratulations Mateus asato, thank you master steve vai for having invited him, as a brazilian i was very happy to see mateus asato invited to steve vai acedemy, this boy plays a lot, he has his own language, i am very happy to see his evolution and i am Proud of him representing Brazil so well , God bless Steve Vai and Mateus Asato and all these young talents from Vai Acedemy

[@user-bk3cj6yj1b]

😂😂lol

[@DoktorDamage]

Steve !!! THis is *GREAT* !!! So kind of you to do this for these AMAZING players !!!

[@SezinSancaktar]

It's an honour to see you that healty and zestful and what a precious boon for the music itself, to see you like this. Best Wishes

[@neverreverie3157]

Well said

[@vash-san]

I hope Max Ostro could join your team one day too!

[@justsomeguy727]

Its always so amazing seeing how humble Steve is. Arguably one of the greatest players to ever exist but still a class act in the way he also always acknowledges the newer generation of players rather than shunning them. Cheers Mr Vai, and thank you so much for all the amazing music you've created over the decades.

[@ernesto_longhi]

Steve Vai... Waht nice little boy❤ Oops... little old man? Waht old man! The Legend!

[@terrymunoztrujillo483]

[@step4798]

The first album I bought with my own money was a picture disc of Passion and Warfare, that album has stayed with me ever since then, Mr. Vai is literally why I still play guitar 30 years later! Thanks Steve.

Ichika Nito is best ive seen. I cant think of many ppl that are on higher level.

[@terrymunoztrujillo483]

Right now youth is king BUT personally I think Nuno and Paul Gilbert and Steve are the GOATS. And really wish you had called Thomas McRocklin, this little stevie vai still shreds and stays underrated.

[@CodenameCuervo]

Some say you can hear the Gods better in the restroom 😂 number 7 is surely a great number. I'm sure that a number 1 and 2 is suiting but 7 lol... I'm making terrible jokes... Thank you Vai for all your positive influence for your humor and for your heart. Life without passion is music without a soul. Guitar is super cool 😎 ✌

[@janderrickfernandez3993]

Well done with the video, Kudos Steve!

Brilliant!

[@rocsoriano2994]

You were so gracious to me and my friend in MPLS Steve. Thanks again man. I recently got a divorce after working in a hospital during covid and losing two of my friends, they passed away. You were so kind to me and told me "it'll be ok brother". It meant alot. You're my hero dude.

Hi Steve!! Love you music sooo much!! Wish I could go to vai academy but I can’t afford

[@d.a.t.4699]

Awesome video, vai is good at this acting thing.

[@TWDub]

Pia's "wahp wah wahp wahp wah wahp" was friggin' awesome! Lol! Is that really how your conversations with her go?

[@rwfrench66GenX]

What an incredible opportunity for the artists and music fans! Thank you Steve! Is there anyway to webcast this so people who can’t make it to Orlando can still enjoy it?

[@lapterus299]

It is amazing to see a legend interested about the new talents, same way we all do. It is an honour to have a passiion for this kind of music and as a consequence, the privilege to know people like Steve and the joy and privilege to enjoy his work.

That's the best promo I've ever seen for something like that. 😄

[@karl1949]

EPIC!

[@Paolo8772]

I prefer your music to your KZbin videos, but this is the most entertaining KZbin video you've done on a long time. Now that they all wanna do the Vai academy it's "scary". (Like Larry David, although he loves Wagner and you love Mahler. I love both but I've not forgotten about Steve Vai; the best composer alive). Love the self deprecating humour too!

[@simoncossettini9680]

Nice one Steve - even your promo ads are entertaining!!!

[@fhgdfh3219]

Yesssss Steve

[@fhgdfh3219]

Mr. VAI.... You are a major source of Inspiration Motivation and LOVE OF MUSIC... discioline endurance passion etc... To me you are a Masters Master...

It was funny to watch your conversation with Pia 😅 You're one of my favourite musicians, thanks for creating the Universe series with Hoshino! Any plans to tour Australia any time by chance? G3 2012 was a fantastic concert! You're an inspiration on many levels

[@SimonRefaloGuitaristOfficial]

He is coming to Australia later this year !!!!! Tickets on sale now

[@iAussieGuy]

@@SimonRefaloGuitaristOfficial Thnx a bunch, will go see him again tyvm. I always wanted to see him play twice and he is probably my favourite guitarist 😄
