@@FreddhunterxBad Horsie wah. It's an optical wah which turns on when you move it, and it is spring loaded to go back up and turn off when you step off it.
@@AB7F9 I mean clearly to a point; its a supeer strat with dimarzios and a floating trem going through the same effects, preamps, ampliferies and post production; if you break it down holistically its not THAT much departed; but it is refreshing to see vai just ... sounds like vai. If you put him on a hollowbody tele with single coils, its gonna sound like "vai" but its going to be a bit of a tangent sound here.
@@AB7F9 Yep! EVH was the 1st person I heard say that. It's true. Seen a lot of great players with unique tone play on someone else's rig and sound as usual.
Teenaged me always wanted a Parker Fly but could never afford one. Middle-aged me is now more interested in modding guitars and amps and building pedals than actually playing, so will likely still never own one.
I owned the first Carvin Legacy halfstack and almost killed my hearing permanently with its toneful bliss. Now I own a VLD1 preamp pedal but vow to own another Legacy in my lifetime. I have much more common sense now than I did in 2007... 😉😁😂
That’s great as a general comment, but did you happen to miss the huge pedalboard at his feet 😂? You could maybe use Eric Clapton, or Wes Montgomery, or anyone else as a suitable example, but Steve Vai is hardly an example. I get your point- that he would sound like himself whether it was an Ibanez or a Parker Fly, but don’t confuse his distinctive style for “tone”.
False. Gear won't magically turn you into Vai, but even Vai couldn't make a Taylor acoustic sound like this. Or whatever. To get even close to this, you need an electric guitar, high gain amp and a wah...at least. Gear DOES matter...even to him.
@@sanjeevmraman completely missed the point. 😆 of course there’s a pedal board in front of him. If I give him my pedal board, guess what my board will sound like. 🤔 Steve Vai. 😮
Guys, we all use gear. We all have unique styles. It doesn’t matter what you plug into. Your fingers is where the tone starts. We all have a preference of gear. But the fingers is where it’s at because our fingers are unique to our style. Don’t over think this kids.
Is 10:30 pm and I'm getting ready to sleep, I reached to the phone to turn it off, this is somehow waiting on my queue and sure I clicked on it and fucking Boooomm!!! Wow!! This guys energy and that guitar sound is freaking insane!! Now I'm going to bed happy, I'll watch it again first thing! Later you freaking animals and a big applause for this dude!
*I used to want a Parker, so bad, in the 90s. Now that time has passed, I find them ugly and plain-looking. But they truly were great guitars. I'd rather a PRS.*
Parker passed extensive pressure testing by Mr. Vai with positive marks in sonic and structural categories. Results: I want one, and they’re impossible to find at a price my bank account approves of.
If only it was recorded vertically. Anyway. Usually I’d say the guitar doesn’t matter it’s the player but you can see Steve struggling a bit with this guitar but still managed to play it well.
I'm guessing you mean "horizontally"? I was very close to Steve during this performance and the phone I had at the time didn't have a wide angle lens. If I'd have recorded it horizontally I'd only been able to capture the guitar so I doubt it would have been any better than this.
Little Stevie Vai demonstrating why he's at the top. Anyone want to grab the other video (ruclips.net/video/qt9niB3gOo8/видео.html) and do some editing?
That's my guitar! Thanks Alan!
How did he get your guitar in the first place?
I have seen these video before
I just wanted to know how does it work (the wha pedal look like a spring is underneath)
Sell it to me I have deep pockets.

That guitar will never be the same 😂
“That Steve Vai. What a nice boy.”
THAT SOUNDS LIKE NOOOOOOOIIISE, MISTER VAI!!!
After this the guitar went direct to press charges
That was badass!!! Hell yeah Steve!!! Can't say enough about him!! He's a legend for a reason!! 🤘🎸🤘
And I think we can more or less say that that guitar will never be played that fast ever again, Steve took it to the edge and some. Fantastic stuff
vai slamming a parker is crazy haha. Its unreal how it just sounds exactly the same
That's cause the tone is in the fingers!! They'll always sound like themselves no matter what gear they pick up!!

Dude it is just so crazy good.. I'm pretty sure watching his fingers move without the sound would be entertaining!! True awesomeness 🤘🏻
Love this ... amazing to hear a Parker in Steve's hands ... Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼💥🎸🎶🔥🤘🏼
This is the 1st time on stage I ever seen him play a non Ibanez. Parker guitar looks like
This is that time during which the audience is listening to the audience is listening
He's don't care what's brand of guitar he play. That's MR VAI!!!!
Damn! Is that Steve Vai playing a Parker????
I think his steve vai
EXCELLENT 🤩👍 Thanck you so much for sharing !!!!
After the show i ask the guitar 'ARE YOU OCKAY'.. And the guitar said I'VE GOT SICK IN THE NECK'.. Wkwkwk 🤣🤣
Absolutamente alucinante. El tipo lo da todo. Es el mejor para mí, y con la Parker... Que preciosidad. Le sienta de maravilla.
Props to the drummer.. just hammering it!
the melodies are so animated, just amazing
Very good.... . The best
Well kids today’s lesson. Know your fingers. That’s where the tone comes from. Start playing and buy pedals later.

Something about Steve Vai playing a Parker guitar seems natural.
Wow! He is god of guitar
The Tracy Chapman's bro is an extraordinary bassist

Aint no way he just did that
Freaking awesome Via is still Freaking amazing...
When I first saw a Parker whilst scrolling …I played …then saw who was guitaring the instrument!!!!!
Passion and warfare
That guitar and him are great together
Okay I give up now 😂🤯🎸 FANTASTIC
Nice ballad.
Still has the speed and chops for sure 👍🏼
That wah getting destroyed 😂
Hendrix would be proud 🤘🏻😝
That axe is pretty Fly, Parker but that’s no Ibanez haha. Steve Vai is always brilliant
The guy was like. " just dont throw it pleeease" for 7 min.
This dude looks and sounds like Steve Vai.
Since it's not a JEM that's not Vai , that's JACK BUTLER!!!
My man Jack Butler's gonna liiike you....
Steve's an alien 😮
So that's who Joe was surfing with..........?
@@jon9536 thats right 😄😄😂
I got to play a Parker Fly years ago. Still want one.
Shredding
Well there you go 🤛

I love your Knopfler style Stevie...❤...
sooo much better without the lady yelling about it being too loud
Steve could play a hello kitty guitar and make it sound good. “EVH it’s all in the fingers”

Im not an expert on wahs. Can someone tell me what kinda wah is that? It goes back to heel position automatically. I havent seen anything like it.
The man could play a broom and sound fantastic
Стиви унижает во мне гитариста!))
Как же он хорош!!!!
На Паркере запилить такое. Стиви спасибо что ты есть!
Bynoe is a great bassist. Underrated.
Had a hard time hearing him…
How is possible for someone to reinvent himself so many time likes this? Who is this guy? looks like Steve Vai
Melodic Genius
This is gold
Ken Parker corporation shares : 🚀📈📈
On a Parker -- dope!
Ok, it's the first time like ever that Vai's not playing a JEM.. So what's the backstory to this?
You haven't seen him play the Scofield Semi-Hollow?
It was one of his lesson camps and one of the attendees asked Vai to play his guitar.
The best the best🎸🎸🎸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥😎
Awesome post. Thanks. But please, next time, hold your phone horizontal.
Awesome! 🎭✨️👏🏼🤝🏻🙋🏻♂️🇦🇷
Unrealllll Fantastic
Oh my god, the god himself touch and play a parker deym! 😍
Как сказал стив: гитара это всего-то палка и шесть струн, все дело в человеке.
Awesome 🙋🏻♂️🇧🇷🎸🔥🔥🔥
Parker fly is so light for steve vai
Any doubts?
Is this Ken Parker playing a Steve vai?
Wha pedal???
I own two oringnal 1993 black deluxe and mojo season autumn custom with next sustainable…..Oh the sickness! Yeah babe and SV is getting sum.😂
GOAT!🔥🐐🤘
Foreshadowing the Belew tour
this is so rare god
Show.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸💫
Thank you for this!!! Great camera work!!!❤❤❤
The playing is great. The camera is literally someone holding up a shitty phone in vertical and using phone mic = not great camera work… at all.
Who needs a Ibanez to bem happy? Killer Parker kick asses.
Vai and a fly
The original!
Esa Parker ya no tiene precio.....😂😂😂
Little Stevie Vai demonstrating why he's at the top. Anyone want to grab the other video (ruclips.net/video/qt9niB3gOo8/видео.html) and do some editing?
What sort of edit do you want?
Badass ❤
Oh lord he's playing a Paul Gilbert guitar.
Satch playing EVH Vai playing Parker… What’s going…
Super ! 😊💪🏻
I would like to challenge Mr. Vai
The begining lick is it a song ? Name?
I see PREDATOR.
Muy bueno
I dont blame Steve. I wouldn’t trade my old Parker for a $1500 Jem made in Indonesia.
My great whit 🐃 the Parker fly
Who’s rig is he playing through and if it’s guitar camp and he’s the main attraction you would think he’d have his guitars and rig present?
He did have all of his own gear there, but a camper asked him to play his guitar.
Is that Vai? Man he looks great. What is he like 65?
Wasn't this Francisco Tomas's Guitar Steve was playing?
Yea
@@Locallybuiltauto Were you there? I was, got to Jam with Steve, it was amazing
That was good times
Get outta here with that Pahka fly, Steve Vai. 😂
sooo... it isn't the ibanez jem ..... it's all on his fingers....
right ?
Yeah right,Like Eddie V.H. once said,the tone comes from your finger👍
No. The sound is horrible, period.
Name song?
That guitar is probably priceless now that God himself has played it, lol
priceless, lol
