Eckhart Tolle and Abraham Hicks are some have the best possible words that any human can hear. Kindred spirits here Steve. In love and light
Steve, i have learned more about life in these 2 hours than i did my 40+ years of existence. Thank you for opening our minds and hearts.
"The power of your subconscious mind" Dr. Joseph Murphy
Wow. Steve is an awesome guy. Came for guitar talk, left humbled by wisdom.
I love how he uploads even at this trying time, appreciate it mr steve. Thank you
@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA No..just you
@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA Steve has admitted, in the past on stage, He is a poser. Big Fucking Deal. I still love him.
No really. He's a rich performing musician who can't perform atm.
@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA lol he's not jobless like you....he's working day and night on his new orchestra record and after that he will also release a new studio record
I know people feel better about themselves when they project their own insecurities on others😂😂
Steve, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I saw you at g3 in Orlando way back, and somehow I happened to see you walking alone around back after. I could see you as a person and not blinded by your fame. You were just a regular guy with a gift and I appreciated it. I don't know if you ever heard me, but I asked if I could hug you. You didn't respond and I felt hurt and I responded with some dumb reaction. I don't know if you heard that either, but I'm sorry. This video just makes me want to hug you all over again, because if the deep appreciation you've pointed me towards. I hope you receive my word this time. All the very very best to you. 💛
So sorry Francisco. It's possible I misunderstood or didn't hear your request for a hug. I like hugging actually and I usually do when requested. Next time for sure, and I'll be sure to smell nice, yeah!
Man, you are so on point! So thankful for this. These teachings have been coming to me also for the last twenty plus years. Gradually I get more and more. Thank you so much, Steve, for putting yourself out there in this way. You are blessing many people. I love your music, but this may even be your higher calling. 🙏
I'm feeling so dry this past few years creatively, this ESOTERIC SHARING OF VAI will fuel me for the rest of my LIfE for it is A CONFIRMATION of OUR calling & purpose against all odds on this planet...ARTS & MUSIC for SERVICE! We are here to Elevate human consciousness and Steve is a forebearer!
steve is a real life experience. thank you for your existence. bless you 777

From a born again evangelical fan of your music I can only say that this means even more to me. Thank you for sharing your honesty, insights, and wisdom. I found it profound and deeply meaningful. Things I’ve been thinking about for some time and couldn’t even articulate. Peace, love, and light to you Mr. Steve.
I believe that tastes evolve according to one's maturity. Tastes in music are no exception. When we are children we love Peppa pig, growing and increasing our knowledge we evolve and we get to appreciate the literature of the French classics: Zolà, Moupassant, etc. Growing further we are able to appreciate complex works such as Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy or Shakespeare's works. Steve Vai is located in this universe. I personally discovered you recently and I think you are an incredible artist. Life, every day, always offers six gifts. Today he gave me the ability to appreciate you. Thank you. Luciano.
These Live streams are so precious to me and I can't stop watching theme!!! wish to be continued, Thank you sooooo much for all these lovely things you do
I've been waiting a long time to hear Steve talk about spirituality, and now seems to be the perfect time !
The first 10 seconds of each video... He's hypnotizing you
Pretty much, then he shows his flaws and you come back to earth.
I just looked at it, I think he's just meditating and waiting for the stream to start. If it's meditation it's called an open eye meditation.
ha ha ha haaa ha :) that's funny :)
@@einarabelc5 I'm joking, of course. He's waiting for people to come on the stream.
@@mikal So was I, but also serious. Steve hits many important points but based on what he's saying he has a very superficial and limited knowledge of Christianity, and to be honest shouldn't talk about it until he learns more. If you look at this episode on religion you can see for yourself. Saying that religions weren't arrogant and totalitarian when "these avatars" and including Christ in it came to earth is the most ignorant thing I've heard in a long time because precisely Christ died BECAUSE the Pharisees were totalitarian and arrogant. There's not much point on listening to him or taking anything serious after that if he hasn't even understood that basic fact. But here's the contradiction and why is still interesting to listen to him. He understands the power of Fear and Love. He understands what's like to be present and what it is to look at the world with Faith. He just didn't do his homework. Like most people that make a living of criticizing Christianity do but in his case it is much more benign. Nobody like Nietzsche these days that's for sure.
Just remember to take his opinion with a grain of salt precisely because he has a very shallow understanding of the generalizations and platitudes he makes when in reality he's speaking teachings that are right there but that the Church, specially protestant, has continuously FAILED to teach properly for the past 200 years.
You have to see that the Church and the Western Culture where Steve, the Internet and most of modern things came from are DIRECTLY interlinked.
@@einarabelc5 who are you the Pope?
For me your music awoken me when I heard it first time.. everything you ever talk about is in your music.. it’s an invisible connection for us to the infinite that helps us awaken and remember who we are.. some writes books about it and you make music... 🙏❤️
I don’t understand how anyone (who likes rock music) would not like Steve’s music on some level. He definitely has his own style and some of his stuff takes a few listens before you understand his intent because his creativity is so advanced.
i don't like his music. But i like the man. a lot.
Thank you Steve for the positive energy and uplifting energy! Greetings from Poland.
I had a fifteen year layoff, now that I've found myself playing again, listening and learning from steve is awesome, exciting
Sorry Frank what happened, you stopped playing? Excuse me if im rude.
And Steve's staff, thank you for your work.
absolutely
Steve love your music & playing.
Powerful my friend. I see you, and it's beautiful.
Happy Birthday, Steve. I've been tenderly surrendering to your musical genius for almost 30 years, and I thank you for that. To this day you remain my favourite musical personality, and you introduced me to my other favourite musical personality, Devin Townsend, so a thank you for that also. Cheers.
By far the best and most calm inspiring social media that I have partaken in during COVid-19. I was pleased to discover Mr. Vai was giving his time and shared experience to the common folk- 'fanatics' - thank you kind soul and if you so desire please create more. Love to all and health to the world.
Thank you Steve. God bless you. For me the commonality is music. My parents grew me up with love of music. And to this day in my old age, music is my life. You are in my music love story. Love from the UK.
Steve, thank you for your open hearted , ego free honesty. This should be what all humans aspier to. Thank you.
Always grateful Maestro🙏 Great philosophy and musical mastery make us all love you and apreciate you even more.
Steve, I made a work for English class for the end of the school year, and I got a really high grade. Epic series, I need to rewatch it one more time because there is so much wisdom that I can't fully understand yet. Thank you for your efforts!
I'm an avid passionate or maybe even borderline obsessive guitarist. I really appreciate these esoteric discussions I've come to realize over the years and decades the importance of spiritual fitness to excel and at the same time have peace to amplify all things in life not just music. Thank you so very very much!!
Thank you once again Mr. Vai.
I see you too (through a lense of good meaningful purposes) and it's refreshing, subtle, and cheerful to experience. Thank you for all you do here in the past few weeks. Truly a pleasure.
Mr Vai you really are a friend to the world. Blessings Brother 🙏
Thank You So much Steve for sharing the Under it All series. The ripples sent are infinite. May the awakening of our consciousness also be infinite. Rock On
I'm going thru all the "Under It All" and "Alien Guitar Secrets" videos. Brilliant. Diamonds in every one. Truth in every one. Thank you Steve.
When i was a 18 year old vai fan in 1996, i would had never imagined i would get the master's rants twice a week! Incredibile times!
I LOVE ❤ U.( From Sweden living in Norway. ) and your music.
Man, you are such a positive force in the universe. I hope you keep doing these. Now is the time. Thank you ...
Thank you for teaching me things most instructors never touch on. I really, really appreciate you Steve. Fan for life. Bob from West Virginia.
Thank you Steve, your words relate so much to me in experiencing this life. I believe there are us who have similar minds, separated thousands of miles, yet truly united in spirit. Sometimes these things manifest as bursts of creativity like a song, eg. a man come up with a tune/song, then another man in another part of earth come up with a similar tune, almost at the same time.
You have helped me so much at my current state of mind (& situation). Thank you so much Steve.
Thanks so much for churning these videos out so frequently Steve! Your insight into a variety of topics is profound and coupled with your performances on the guitar are a real treat for serious Vai fans like us who love you. Thank you 😀👌❤️💯🎸
i listen to Edgard teaching for a while but i understand it better coming from you. thanks for all your Vdos.
This series of episodes rocks!
6:30 I like that he doesn't get ego'd out when people don't like his music, and he just accepts that there are people who won't like his music. Shows real class and character.
P.S. I love Vai's music, of course. Just saying that a lot of musicians like slamming critics/people who dislike their music, so it's refreshing to see a musician who doesn't care at all.
Yngwie, despite being great at what he does, was always a dick lol.
I'm really enjoying this series (even watched some episodes 2x). I got into meditation and epigenetics about 2 years ago, and it seems like I now perceive & understand your music so much better, a part of your music that is so much deeper than what you just hear on the "surface". I love listening to you talk and I wish I could talk with you....
Thanks so much Steve for this whole series, under it all is one of favorite songs of your catalogue and that energy reflects in your talking.
While the novel Coronavirus infection torments many societies globally, this series and Alien Guitar Secrets are silver-lining in the cloud. I am glad to have been his fan since Alcatrazz days! Thank you, Steve! God bless you!
Do not fear sharing this side of you, Steve. You're such a beautiful soul! Once I read an interview you gave in the Musician magazine, September 1990. Since then I've been reading positive self-development literature, because of you. I love Abraham-Hicks and I'm glad we have one more thing in common! There's another author you might enjoy as well, Alan Cohen.
Amazing, Steve! Every piece of word worked as gold. Thanks from Brazil, my friend!
Thank you Steve for sharing your extraordinary wisdom! Love your music ever since i first heard you over 30 years ago.
thank you so much for this steve. This was meant to happen.
Steve! You're my hero, man! You were one of my inspirations for playing guitar, and hearing your philosophies cements you as a personal guru. Thanks for sharing!
May be I'm wrong but I would call Steve's idea's and "spirituality" as common sense (often almost forgotten nowadays ). Happy for the opportunity to listen to him. Thanks.
Have watched you my whole life as I am 60 too! Happy Birthday! I have always loved watching your spiritual growth as well. And of course your guitar playing is legendary. Also, I love Echart Tolle too! Wink. . .
I like hearing your thoughts on life ,it resonates and with me. It inspires me in life, therefore it’s good for my musical spirit. Thank you Mr. Vai for all the years of inspiration! 🤘
My best friend and I came to the EVO Experience on the Kansas City show of the Inviolate tour. We flew from Florida because we missed the florida part of the tour. When we left, we both agreed that it was more than worth it just for your Q&A session because of the topics like these that you touched on. I needed to hear this stuff much more than I knew, and was in some way thankful that your answers continued to lean much more this way rather than focusing on guitar. Thanks again.
Steve love your music and your outlook on life, come back to long island soon
Dear steve! I always loved your music and i was certain (without ever hearing a word out of your mouth) that you were familiar with spiritual teachings. When you said you study ACIM.... damn!!!! i am a musician too and since the pandemic i begun spreading acim (but in spanish) and the response has been amazing!!! I just wanted to express my gratitude for this little synchronicity. Love!

Hey Steve! I am so glad you decided to talk about this stuff. I've been reading about all of this for years. Great to hear your perspective and break it all down. No matter how many times you hear this stuff, you get the aaaaaHA! moment. Thanks so much and come back soon! I really enjoy these vids. Tonya NJ
Hope you read these! I love the "Under It All" series, Steve. These are great perspectives. You're my favorite guitar player, and I have been playing for 27 years (I'm 41). You are the reason I picked up a 7 string! But you would never know it by my own music, since you and I are much different! Although we both have a love for Floyd Rose whammy bars! LOL.
But I have been in a creative rut lately, and a VERY deep depression for several years. These video series have really helped me to get my head back in the game. I am working on an album, and the ideas are flowing now that my perspective isn't so angry anymore. I was in a very dark place over the last few years, and it destroyed my creativity. My new album is going to be great, and I can't wait for everyone to hear it. Thanks for the eye-opening ideas, and years of inspiration.
Amén. This is an invaluable gift you’re giving all of us. I appreciate you. I see you. Rock on!
Gotta say Steve, there’s a difference between the respect you give to someone of different faith and the validity of the truth claims made by religions. You can learn something is the truth and respect others who either haven’t came to that realization or chose not to go through that journey.
I love this video series! Steve has so much knowledge to share, I really appreciate him taking the time to talk to us mere mortals
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it makes total sense to me. And what you say at the end, about the power of the connection through our awareness, I think you described it very well. You have encouraged me to further improve my behavior. Looking forward to seeing you next time!
Thank you so much for these been earing your guitars talk for 25 years so not surprise . Keep up the amazing job, thanks for all your work. Love from Montreal
God bless you Steve
This is the greatest speech ever
Hey, friend! Thank you for your talent! 🇧🇷
Sir, you're a GOOD Teacher!! As in the full sense of the word. You may not always be right or have all the information be you definitely have the right approach and sincerity to be one.
For the love of Vai
This is the first of these I've caught. All I can say is I'm glad I did. Steve, bud, I always could tell by your music that you were a deeply thoughtful and spiritual individual. Now I get to hear you speak on life itself.
You clearly got life right. I did not. I turned everything I touched to lead, and without fail, always wondered what happened. Now that I'm older, I realize the problem was me; My ego, my ignorance, my lack of having been taught jack squat about how to be anything other than a worker bee in some damn factory, or told that I was in the way, made to feel like a problem that was constantly to be solved rather than part of a family, another human that only needed to be shown the way.
I had a lot more written, but realized I was turning my comment into a therapy session. No one wants to hear my problems as they have no shortage of their own; so I erased it. You're welcome hehe. But I *WILL* say that I wish I had had access to these talks 30-35 years ago. I may not have face-planted so hard in life.
VERY much enjoyed this format. I dig it. Thanks for starting this.
Thank you very much for these 14 episodes of sharing!!! It helped a lot, specially in this precise time, not only this world lockout, but also, some very personal struggles that you helped evolve into something alive !!! 😎🤩🤩
Watching this with my wife Steve and the clearly presented concepts are so powerful. thank you dearly for these. I feel love. thank you for helping point to a feeling without qualifying it with outside details. That is a powerful practice I will continue to implement. Your expression of true forgiveness resonates with us massively. I appreciate your time very sincerely.
Thank You, Steve...
This is gold for the soul.
Some guy told Steve is a god... for me he is a lovely A L I E N full of light in his heart and fingers. Thanks Steve for sharing
Please study real religion. These things you're talking about are shallow.
These videos are legendary. Thank you so much.
Steve Vai I'm your fan! You rock!
I'm going to tell you a little funny story here: In March I turned 22, and I really wanted to get a new guitar as a gift, but I only thought about Les Paul. When they arrived with an Ibanez, at first I thought I wouldn't enjoy playing with her so much, but I was completely wrong! Now I don't leave my Ibanez for anything. 😂 😂 😂 Cheers from Brazil 🙂🇧🇷
How wonderful this channel is. Thank you for sharing. We need more of this to replace the tabloid matrix culture.
Love your music and wisdom
To be honest, I'm coming in as an uneducated non-fan.
These videos are captivating. I'm enjoying them so much.
Great stuff Steve. I really enjoy these podcasts. From one truth seeker and musician to another.
Steve Vai gives me hope.
Steve, thank you so much for all of this you are doing and have done to touch many lives, mine especially. I needed your words at a time like this and your beautiful soul has helped me on my journey. I feel connection with you and your true empathy and with your great amount of knowledge/insight that I needed to hear. When I feel a little down n out, listening to you does more than help and motivate, it heals apart of me. I just want to thank you from bottom of my heart and I am going to go back on these videos, also looking forward to your new music! Peace and love brotha ❤️
I have enjoyed alot about these series.
Please do it again.
Amazing video and talk. Thanks!! Really essential issues for us all to reflect on.
I'm so glad you shared this with us. Discovered you through Zappa in the early 80's, and noticed the esoteric details on Flexable, the artwork, Light Without Heat and I'm also a guitar player,,and audio engineer. And you've always mastered playing and recording/productrion. I'm an old fanboy from way back lol. started my own spiritual journey when I was 18. I've read or listened to talks by everyone you've mentioned. I've enjoyed listening to you speak about Frank all these years, and your playing. These Under It All" talks are amazing. You're very articulate, in a subject that's beyond words. I happen to hear an Alan Watts lecture on KPFK, and found Roy of Hollywood's show with Ram Dass, Shin Zen Young.19 or so opened my eyes to a new perspective. Robert Anton Wilson, really unlocked some doors,. and was drawn to a book I knew nothing about, and bought the Dancing Wu Le Master's, you mentioned Quantum theory and spirituality. decades later found Tolle, Abraham Hicks,.
I but I digress. These talks you did, they can be,, like Alan Watts was for me, for another generation. It can be the introduction to something new for them to explore. On the other hand, I've been into this "subject" for decades, and have read/heard many people shed light on this aspect of life. You do it just as well as any of them. This is as inspiring as your guitar playing has always been!
If you people are going to insult Mr. Vai. You need to go to another channel!
Steve Vai is an Amazing Guitarist, Songwriter, Composer, and most of all Great Person!
Unlike a lot of people in the industry!
Respect your elders and your days will be long!
Thank you Steve!"Who's gonna hear you when you 're calling,and who's gonna catch you when you are fallin, who's gonna trust you, well, I 'll be around for a while"
Please keep doing these and uploading here
Feliz cumpleaños, Happy birthday from Argentina!
Thanks Steve, it has been wonderful to hear about these concepts and practices.
Wow! This is the best meditation I've heard in a while! You're a gifted man Steve! Please keep doing it! I love your stories and your calm attitude going through most questions or comments you get... I can only imagine the journey you've been through in this process... wondering how it's going to be for myself since I feel I'm just getting my toes wet by the sea shore and there's that vast ocean in front of me... #SteveVai #UnderItAll
I admire the fact you let her to express that to you. I like it and happy for you both
Thank you! ...and i love the flowers
Steve love you
Saludos from Paraguay 🇵🇾
Very insightful and wise. Thank you Steve!
Steve Vai!! You are home, come on, make some more music for us.
"Bad Horsie" alone cannot quench my thirst.
I totally got to meet this legend 😍 still the best day of my life. Thank you for those 5 minutes in south korea outside yes24live hall Mr. Vai.
Hi Steve love seeing your videos!! Thank you
Inner evolvement always leads to a deeper understanding and realization on many levels (mundane and spiritual) . Realizing they are deeply interconnected. Great you share your personal views on this :)
Thanks a lot Steve you influence me a great deal and I love your style and playing, especially “tender surrender” such a great song, keep rockin🤟🏻
