I was fortunate enough to marry the prettiest dancer in Vitos dance Troupe so I had the honor of meeting frank Zappa and conversing with him about Vietnam back before he needed body guards ,and what's awesome is that Frank never forgot me or my wife and how he used us as pawns for his own humor and would get us to perform ridiculous dance maneuvers nobody should perform ,he remembered us so well because we were 2 of the original hard core Mothers heads that would attend the show every night for 6 weeks straight ,he was so kind to us every time we used 818-pumpkin to purchase his music that I don't have enough time to list all the things frank sent to us that we never asked for ,or never paid for ,most people don't realize how generous Frank Zappa was in giving away memorabilia to those of us who dug his scene and supported him in the beginning.
Really;y great job Francis! Excellent playing and i know Steve has a special appreciation for you and your playing. I think he enjoyed playing with you maybe more than anyone else, The energy is there and it could be felt!
Francisco en verdad eres muy impresionante con la guitarra y con "Steve Vai", Genial... Que manera de improvisar!!! Tu técnica es excelente, felicitaciones. Un saludo desde Colombia.
Amazing Francisco, I started watching your videos way back when you went to the 1st Vai academy, and thought you were one of the best players I've seen back then. I've watched your playing and style evolve over the last few years and to see you play on the same wavelength as Steve just blows me away. You are truly equal to the greats now.

Well, there's still a long way to that but truth to be told, even them have a lot more to explore. It just never ends. Thanks for your comment man, have a great day!
Francisco, you get better and better every time I see you. Amazing playing over a wonderful Frank tune. Thank you for chronicling the Vai Academies, I was so excited to watch this. Good luck with everything! MUSIC IS THE BEST. :)

Hamand Vaid Thanks for the kind words Hamand! Music is great, indeed!
What's the name of this zappa song? This is awesome yeah. I'm working on tender surrender so of course this kids version pops up and he killed it. Then this. Wow
Sounds good ;-) That dude in the sunglasses and leather trousers was nice to donate 1/10th of his rig sitting there at stage right! LOL Looks like a ton of fun! FZ all the Way!!
Que genio este PIVE booooo y un grande que da entrada aún PIVE lo ace más importante que algunos soberbios de la guitarra.piveeeeee sos un genio genio genio aguante los guutarristas no se achiquen.
Aparte de la clase que tienen para tocar, me quedo con la cara de Steve al mirarlo a Francisco, como diciendo este sabe sobre el tema, hasta cariño, como sintiendo honor de tocar con francisco, sinceramente son enormes músicos
Looks like Ralph Macchio and Steve are finally gettin' along. lol!!!! Seriously great job Francisco!!
😂😂
As much as I would love to play with Steve Vai one day, I'm not sure I could even perform out of sheer fear. Mad respect.
Max Suciu i’d freeze completely
Just completely fall apart. Pieces on the floor.
Me too. It would terrify me
It would be like jamming with Hendrix.
#metoo....
same here🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Michael Ledford really cool thanks
That's an awesome story Michael! Thanks for sharing that, take care!
I've been listening and watching Steve Vai for over 30 years. And this is my first time seeing this video! I'm happy!!!
Sweet beautiful tone contrast between the Les Paul and Ibanez and awesome playing ..bravo!
ibanez sz can get pretty near the gibson tone. they went pretty much under the radar.
Does sound nice but I have a hard time listening to anyone other than Frank playing this with the exception of Dweezil.
Oh man, I can’t stop smiling, that was awesome! 🙌🏻❤️
Great choice of song Francisco! a song that Steve loves the most when he was with Frank Zappa
Amazing. I love this song more every time I hear a new interpretation. Yours does not disappoint.
Cuanta humildad, talento y respeto. Asi llegas lejos como este muchacho. Felicidades
Really;y great job Francis! Excellent playing and i know Steve has a special appreciation for you and your playing. I think he enjoyed playing with you maybe more than anyone else, The energy is there and it could be felt!
Man this is so cool. Both you and Steve seem so down to earth. Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad you got the opportunity to jam. Everybody wins! ^_^

Steve’s hands are ginormous
Francisco tomas looks like ralph macchio here from the crossroads movie guitar duel scene
Intense
groso! como carajo estas al lado de steve?
Nice, man!
Please sure that only Dweezil is allowed to cover Black Napkins. Sounded good.
steve vai's hand looks so huge
Yes they are. Bucket Head and Raul Midon also have alien hands.
Black Napkins by Frank Zappa
Who's that kid? Amaaaazing!!!
Bravo Francisco! You out "Franked" Zappa's "stunt guitarist"! Your playing is very tasteful.
Nice Paul
cool
Vence de nuevo a Jack butler jejejejeje
SHRED !!!!!!!!!!!!
Luar biasa bila mendengarkan permainan gitar STEVE VAI rasanya nggak ingin beranjak dari tempat tidur
1:32! Omg. The joy.
Como me inspiras amigo..

lo isiste de nuevo steve bean
This is great!
Luar biasa permainan gitarnya
Damn you even met Yngwie!!!
What did they say at the and about the Les Paul?
Maestro como siempre, Francisco! Felicitaciones!
Oye, tuviste la oportunidad de improvisar con St. Vincent o Malmsteen?
Pablo Durán No pude tocar con ellos pero fue genial escucharlos
¿Os habéis fijado en la mano izquierda que tiene Vai? Madre de díos...
I no that Steve is like Eddy Van Halen a guitar god but this kid is killen it to.
rre epico
"Black page" next time please
Last year he just ripped that backing track.
What scale they're using?
Aparte de la clase que tienen para tocar, me quedo con la cara de Steve al mirarlo a Francisco, como diciendo este sabe sobre el tema, hasta cariño, como sintiendo honor de tocar con francisco, sinceramente son enormes músicos
Ça commence avec l'arrogance du jeune, puis le maître lui donne une leçon, un monstre steve vai ,respect
