    "Nobody clapped but nobody left"
    I visuallize that phrase as probably the most pivotal moment in a person's life.
    Did you know Brian May once introduced Steve to the audience and called him a genious?

    Only few, very few people could substitute Yngwie in a band. Vai and Malmsteen are brilliant, love both.

      He actually built his first home studio with his own hands. Satriani and vai are two of the best, and both very down to earth

    Vai learning all of Malmsteen’s parts in one day is a legendary rock story. It shows Vai is at a truly genius level.

    0:26 - 0:28 A very subtle yet appropriately well-deserved dig on Yngwie, perhaps. At least, that's how I am going to take that as I see Steve somewhere around 1000X more advanced than that arrogant and overly self-indulgent Swede.

      He did learn malmateens solos just the songs. Respect were respect is given but it wasn't a jab more of a flex.

      Lol if you watch the video of him playing any yngwie solo he can't do it like yngwie did. especially on jet to to. Steve respects Yngwie tremendously and they are great friends. shows how much you know about either of em lol. I love them both no hate over here baby💪

    • @FloridaManMatty

      Well…about that. It IS true. Vai was able to listen to the set list and write out his own charts and it went from there. You have to keep in mind that he is a singular talent and was good enough to be hired to transcribe Frank Zappa’s catalog BY ZAPPA, at the age of 18.
      If you have any familiarity with Frank’s work, particularly the mid-70’s to early 80’s, you can appreciate what a monumental task that would be for even the most seasoned transcriptionist.
      Yngwie’s stuff is relatively simple in comparison. Just play a lot of melodic minor 7th scales over some basic changes and you’re there. As long as you have the key and tempo and know where the changes live, and you know your instrument well, what Steve DID is 1000% within the realm of possibility.
      And if that’s not enough and you still don’t believe Steve, Graham Bonnet and Gary Shea have both told the same story almost verbatim multiple times in the last 38 1/2 years…

      Yngwie never plays the melodic minor scale, but the harmonic minor scale.
      And there are no "melodic minor 7th scales"...
