      Missing notes is more forgivable than missing combs. Bonus points if you do it in front of a fan. Steve Vai gets infinite bonus points just for being himself.

    Saw this man live 2 days ago. Met him, talked to him. My wife and I got our guitars and other things signed. Being at a Steve Vai concert isnt about "Hearing" or "Seeing" it live. It's an experience. It's about feeling it. Moments where I shed a tear in his performances. Even my wife shed a few tears too. If you're ever wondering if the EVO experience is worth it. It really really is.

      First of all, that’s beautiful. I guess Steve is like that as both and artist and a person; incredibly smart man, but he clearly feels emotions very deeply. It would make a lot of sense for his concerts to be like that, and even though I’ve never been to one, I’m stunned at the passion and strength he still managed to put into his playing. I’m glad you two had such an amazing experience.
      Second of all, you have the coolest wife ever.

      Joe Pass is pretty cool, but playing gets kinda old. At a certain point, you just wanna tell him to stop playing so much and to calm down.
      Joe Pass is the beer of music; having a cold one after a nice day of work is really nice, but having one every time you come back home just gets really old and it looses its taste.

      It's funny, but he over does it, especially at 4:00. It'd be way cooler if he didn't do that. It solidifies all his other expressions as just some act instead of authentic. The solo itself is just about the best one humanity ever produced.

      @@boyharmon357 Yes I have put it down. Not because I tired of playing, but because it refreshes my mind. I know it may seem like a long time, but I find that if I take a couple of months away from playing…my playing and mind connection with my guitar improves. I don’t sit idly and do nothing. I tend to listen to a lot of music and explore new avenues of music. For instance, I listened to Gojira and learned their music. Didn’t play, but actually tried to see where they were going musically along with other bands in the Metal genre. I hope this helps you to spend some time not playing. I won’t tell you how long not to play. But try to at least take three or four weeks off. I think you will come back wanting to play refreshed. Peace
