I feel the same way about 1:42-2:01 , it’s as if he’s speaking directly with his guitar. Hard to explain what I mean... he just makes some of the most wonderful sounds with his guitar in that sequence
I know right? There’s something absolutely cheeky and special about. I’m glad I’m not the only one to live that but. I even saw a comment above with a times stamp, and was about to reply only to realize it was my comment from before lol.
Alien Love Secrets was only 7 songs but every one was an absolute master class in tone, nuance, vibe and technical wizardry. The pinnacle of his storied (and ongoing) career, IMHO. This song in particular just has that happy, bouncy vibe that you must love... the best of Cliffs of Dover and Summer Song melded into a weapon only Vai can wield... one of my favorite songs, period. Long live the maestro!
Steven Siro Vai (Carle Place, 06 de junio de 1960) es un guitarrista, compositor, y productor musical estadounidense que ha vendido más de 15 millones de álbumes. Después de iniciar su carrera como transcriptor de música para Frank Zappa, Vai grabó y estuvo de gira en la banda de Zappa de 1980 a 1982. Comenzó su carrera como solista en 1983, tiene ocho álbumes en solitario y ha ganado tres premios Grammy. También ha grabado y realizado giras con Public Image Ltd, Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth y Whitesnake. Vai ha sido un miembro regular del G3 tour que comenzó en 1995. En 1999, Vai comenzó su propio sello discográfico Favored Nations, con la intención de mostrar como él lo describe, "... a los artistas que han alcanzado el nivel de rendimiento más alto en sus instrumentos elegidos ". Ocupa el puesto n°10 de la lista los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos, publicada por la revista Guitar World. 63 AÑOS. (64)
Bucket head is every bit as technical As Steve Extremely complex songs and on top of that he can play faster than Steve He is a master class musician mask and bucket aside.
@@reef1372 Buckethead is good but you have no fuckin' clue what you're saying if you're comparing the two on equal terms. Thinking faster = better also shows you don't understand what true artistry is.
I found Vai through my appreciation for Satriani and... I've gotta say, while Satriani has such a level of expertise and artistry that it's clinical, I actually think Vai is the better guitarist. Slightly. At their level, it's really hard to say who's better -- the deciding factor for me was how consistently surprising, interesting, and out-of-the-box Vai's licks and progressions are. Satriani has his fair share, but it's like Vai takes a weekly trip to DMT-land to brush up on all the latest other-worldly musical trends.
Juice is probably one of his best solos ever written besides windows to the soul. It's all nuts either way. I see a lot of Vai freaks in here..calm down will ya
This album is truly a masterpiece!!! I believe nothing quite like it has existed before or since, not even from vai himself. and while I admire all his work and have been obsessed with his music, these songs have a unique quality to them. they feel like a stream of consciousness that has been meticulously transformed into music!!!
As it's been said "Steve doesn't do drugs". Yet recording something like this and then playing it back the first time yields the greatest high, all natural, there is. Been there myself. And it lasts for hours. Thanks and congrats Steve..
I need to go to a show before it’s too late I wish I could’ve seen him back then😢 just became a fan the past year but your live performances are my favorite and you play that guitar like a damn alien it’s crazy 😂 can’t get enough tho
That trick at 1:15 is amazing! You have to watch it several times to appreciate what he does in a span of one or two seconds. Edit: But I don't think it's real. The audio exactly matches the track on the Alien Love Secrets album, which I'm sure was recorded in a studio, plus I can't see any sign of a cable plugged into his guitar. I think he's just going through the motions in this video.
That’s an actual guitar technique and the audio track is pretty lined up with his overall playing in this video. Steve Vai is one of the best and I doubt he would just “go through the motion”. He does a lot of technical guitar work so if it’s in the music video it’s most likely the actual way he plays.
Some very clever tricks to make it look like they're not playing to an empty arena, but you can always see an artist feeding off of crowd energy or not.
Thought id answer the question! If you watch the commentary side of the alien love secrets dvd, Steve tells you that the music video is all mimed. Thats why there is no guitar cable. Also! Tender Surrender is filmed with Steve using a Jem, but he actually records it with a Fender Strat!
That's inaccurate, Tender surrender was recorded with the JEM, the track you are referring to it's The Boy from Seattle, witch was indeed recorded with a strat for the most part.
When this video was released, I watched this video a bunch of times. Then I bought white Ibanez JEM and practiced this tune. It was over couple decades ago.
Why people dont realize that this is a videoclip??? The guitar is not conected, no cable no wireless 2:43 . If you are a real fan of Steve playing you can realize when he is playing live and when is a studio song, and the whole Alien Love Secrets video is a VIDEOCLIP thats mean is not playing in real time.
This is a great tune, but it's the "Shut up, we know you can play! Jesus!" that gets me at the end. Haha, I love Devin Townsend.
Never realized that was devin til your comment wow
@@dylankopff7139 Devin Townsend from Sex and Religion?
OK Cool.
Always assumed it was just Vai.
Luv and Peace.
@@ianedmonds9191 man so did I, I always thought vai sung on rescue me or bury me
@@dylankopff7139 vai did sing on rescue me or bury me
Its taken from the song Just Cartilage that Vai did during the Sex And Religion period and was used as a B Side.
the official song of 90's racing games...
dickyp1 hell, it even fits OnRush too!
Lmao

ITS SCHIATARELLA! HE'S HIT THE WALL!
2:48-2:58 is still my favourite ten seconds of phrasing in any solo ever.
It just sounds like he is having so much fun.
Respect.
I feel the same way about 1:42-2:01 , it’s as if he’s speaking directly with his guitar. Hard to explain what I mean... he just makes some of the most wonderful sounds with his guitar in that sequence
Completely agree...I only imagine guitar being a fruit and Stevie is squeezing every bit of juice out of it
Same for me. Especially that quick double pick scrape he does at the beginning of the phrase. So small a thing, but so huge really.
I know right?
There’s something absolutely cheeky and special about.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to live that but.

Steve Vai is the true definition of a guitar god.

Long live the maestro!
@1:52-2:01 is some of the tastiest yet underrated phrasing in his catalog.
Deep inside his heart Steven knows that that his his best track
Definitely his most difficult and yes his best.
To play like this oh my
Steve in "God Mode". This is my favorite Vai song
Its taken me over a week to learn, super tough!
Definitely one of the baddest and most coherent guitar songs ever dam
Yeah, it's got the sound, and style.
02:48 is for some reason the coolest lick ever. Silly, I know 😄 it just has this cheeky vibe to it I can’t explain it 😄😄
I always felt Juice and Satch Boogie are like... continuations of each other

This man is the greatest Electric Guitarist alive right now.
What about Michael Angelo batio,Buckethead, yngwie malmsteen

This what genius looks like.
by far my favourite Vai Song...it is almost a homage to Joe Satriani
Sounds like it's got a touch of Eric Johnson in there, too.
I just came to watch this because I got lost between the Juice and Satch Boogie riffs. They could almost be from the same song.
Satch Boogie’s sister 👍
Juice Satriani

That transition bit at 2:48 sounds so, so beautiful.
My favourite bit as well by a mile.
To my ear he's channeling EVH in that passage and the following 3 bars.
Amazing work.
Luv and Peace.
Yup, like a cute Love song
Juice is probably one of his best solos ever written besides windows to the soul. It's all nuts either way. I see a lot of Vai freaks in here..calm down will ya

This play is so good to remind me of Crossroads.
I love the way Steve's vibrato looks and sounds just amazing.
It’s always a nostalgic feeling hearing that first song you learned to play
LMAO💀 yeah right 😭 I agree
@@SelFreeLions xD
nice, mine was Yngwie Malmsteen's Far Beyond The Sun, first day I picked up the guitar, so good
@@SelFreeLions 🙊🤣🤣
yes! I couldn't play this! Instead of many trial in my high school years! But this is my most favorite guitar song still now!
My favorite Vai song. I wish he would do more like this one and The Animal. So much freaking fun.
Almost 3 decades ago now and the EVO guitar he is still playing today, very beat up now.
Satch Boogie !!!
indeed xD
xD xD
No. Boogie but not Satch...
Mas Joe ...yes !!! Steve vai's satch boogie !
same soul technic from master and student
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful!
I need to go to a show before it’s too late I wish I could’ve seen him back then😢 just became a fan the past year but your live performances are my favorite and you play that guitar like a damn alien it’s crazy 😂 can’t get enough tho
Unreal! He's so technically skilled, its amazing
Kinda has that funky blues metal sound, with expertise!
I still have this VHS and a rare copy of one of Mr. Vai's 'rare' releases, that wasn't supposed to be "released"...very cool stuff...
River City Ransom Vibes...
This is with no doubt the best car music ever!
This harmonics are out of this world, very stunning and creativity music of master Vai!
Must have been some tasty juice ta make ya do this 😮
Now THIS is rock'n'roll!
With a badass sound and style. And the way he can just shred with his finger hand alone without the pick! That's awesome.
Beautiful, Steve! Thank you! 🎸🎶
What a great song
Love juice.. 2thumbs up! Steve vai the soul.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
The guy can definetely, but the man got some groove off his feet too
Steve vai made some pretty good music back then. It was a bit more interesting and catchy back then.
he sounds much more interesting this way.
It was catchier back then, but I’ve always found all his music interesting. Not all of it is catchy, but not all of it is meant to be.

yeah this is the audio from the studio version. on the video you are seeing vai play all this from memory
wow all his videos are pretty incredible, i can understand why people see him as the best guitar player :p
Love it more every time I hear it, it's my wakeup jam, simply amazing!
Some very clever tricks to make it look like they're not playing to an empty arena, but you can always see an artist feeding off of crowd energy or not.
This must be one of your absolute best, Mr. Vai!.. Godspeed! 🤘😎
Di 10 brani musicali di Steve; 6 sperimentali 4 capolavori assoluti.
Super!!! I love this guy
Please play again this Song!it's Awesome
Yah gave Steve all of his gifts!
Taught by the Satch

Actually it was “The Boy From Seattle” dude. And of course it’s mimed; the video’s a lip sync
Хорошее настроение всегда в кармане .....=) Актуально всегда !
i like very very like musik.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
Música perfeita...

Kinda reminds me of "Footloose" at times
I thought only I think that
Funk #49
Great Video! By a Great Person, and Guitar Player!
Bela composição, execução magistral.
I just bought the tab book on eBay and this song scares the hell out of me

Música e performances perfeitas...

complicated mind , my favourite song , kind of a powerfull boogie :)
Influence of satch 🤘
For anybody who thinks most people can play a guitar, trying playing like Steve Vai.
at 0:56 he does a evh face :P
Yes i noticed that as well
Fuoriclasse over the top🎉
vai is a god of the guitar
number 1 of mi list!!!
Steve y su cruce de caminos!!
Total Joe influence there. Great stuff all round!

Inimitably! Thanks, inimitable Steve!..
Yes it is !
Ciao Steve from Italy 👋👋👋
Nobody : the floor is lava
Steve : 0:36
Genio!!!

Master of the whammy
1:31 by far the most influential part
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Those were the good ole days...today he’s lost his mind and reached a new plateau like on Pluto or something
Very similar to the song Steve was playing before the big duel in "Crossroads Blues".
i like to play alien love secrets on the piano it actually transfers surprisingly well!
Yeah but 'I want to hold your Hand'' sounds god damn stunning.
Still Fresh. Nola!!
"shut up! we know you can play !! jesus ..." LOL
Truly virtuouso
1:52 - 1:56 is so tasteful though
I'd like to see a G3 with Vai and Buckethead..what are they waiting for?..
проект закрыт , project is closed / i mean G3
Sorry but Buckethead isn't G3 level :)
That would be so amazing!
They are the same person but with mask.
Bucket head would never do it
O cara é pika
Che GENIOOOOOO e anche molto sensuale Meraviglia
Big 🙂. Over the top Steve .💘
