shimon gangte Guys, there is a competition for a guitar, whoever has the most likes in your comment wins and I really want to win this guitar. I've been chasing it since yesterday to be able to win. Help me, guys, I really need this guitar. ruclips.net/video/H7t1Px7hVCs/видео.html&lc=Ugx5SXQztMFSZukPoAB4AaABAg God bless you 🙌🏻.
If I practiced every single day, 8 hours a day, for the next 3 years… I MIGHT be able to consistently do the thing where he runs a hand through his hair.
But can you lick your finger, press it ever so delicately to the string, and then collapse under the power of your own passion? How much practice would that take?
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.
MrMisterMan The joke is Steve’s playing is so good that the guy has lost motivation because his own guitar playing is so bad to compared with Steve’s; leading him to sell his guitar as he has no longer a use for it.
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.
Sounds amazing bro. So glad you have that memory together. If I brohgt my wife to see him she wouldn't give a shit at all. You're lucky dude. Cheers broham 🍻
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.
You know you're shredding when you're eyes start rolling back in your head, you're making weird faces, and you're obsessive compulsively styling your hair every 30 seconds while maintaining perfect shredding.
3:39 is my favorite part, that tapping is absolutely incredible and you can see how really into it he is because his eyes roll back into his head and everything, this guy really is one of the greatest ever
I’m 73 and have played guitar for over 50 years. I can always depend on a few guitarists to show me something new and Steve is one of them. Thank you, Steve for the inspiration. Peace
Hey Tim iv been playing for along time as well, not the big 50 though, but my hair was a different colour when I started and there was a lot more of it ,I was wondering have you ever had times when you have put it down for a while and if so how long did you NOT play for.
@@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
@@Wilrizen48 thanks Tim yeah I haven't picked up my guitar for over a week now which is a long time for me ,and I'm not bothered by it ,and like you I do like to listen to music all different kinds , not to big on rap though, good to know that others have done the same and gone back,cheers
Steve is a genius. He's not just on another planet as far as creativity, composition and technique goes, he's in a different universe entirely. He is a true virtuoso player. It's no point comparing him to anyone else because he's in a class by himself. So much expression in this it's insane. What a remarkable feeling it must be to be able to spontaneously play what you here in your head. Thanks for being so amazing. You're an inspiration to us all.
He's absolutely great and it's a marvellous, expressive an touching solo but I don't think it's as spontaneous as you think. Just compare it with some live recordings. The solo is balanced, composed, built up well. For spontaneous genious check out some improvisations from Guthrie Govan.
He is absolutely astonishing. No other guitarist compares to him in terms of skill in my opinion. I saw him live in glasgow and he's just as amazing as they say, even more so when you're so close to him (it was a very small venue) it was the first show of the passion and warfare 25th anniversary tour and the first time he played the whole album through and it was like watching a god. To me he's the greatest guitarist of all time and my absolute favourite...unquestionably
I've been playing guitar for 5 years, and all I've heard about is how great Steve Vai is. I never checked him out until now, good God... that was so dirty, I need a bath.
The transition from that insanely eloquent lead back into the foundation melody was amazing. My jaw was dropped the entire time and when the transition happened my head exploded
I like when he corrects hair at 3:05 - 3:10 and stretched tremolo down on the guitar and it looks very cool and tricky ,what can I say he's genius ....
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.
We've established that Steve is one of the best guitarists of all time. Can we now just take a moment to appreciate his tone? Especially when he starts getting into it. It's so clean and clear and hits all the right frequencies. You know it was very unforgiving and every note had to be perfect.
@@TrentLyon71 lol I went and checked 3 different versions. .. I don't think that's the name of the song LMAO. It's so weird everyone is posting wrong song names 😂
This comment section just killed me I can’t stop laughing and questioning, also apparently if you watch this video it doesn’t matter if you are a guy or girl your now pregnant
@@gskelton2937he still kicked ass. It’s absolutely shitty he didn’t credit where it’s due, but that is a judgment about his character, NOT HIS GUITAR SKILLS.
@@gskelton2937I don't think it's like that, the intro sounds similar, but after that there's nothing like it, I don't think it's the same notes either. Just that it's played at the same time and rhythm, you could also say that "plagiarism" little wing of Hendrix, but it is not like that.
@@gskelton2937 especially in rock, people/bands copy from each other but the thing is, most of them don’t care and actually like it when they are a source of someone else’s inspiration.
I know For The Love of God will always be seen as Steves magnum opus, but Tender Surrender has so many complexities and so much depth, that I believe it to be not only his greatest work but one of the most magnificent compositions of all time.
This is the best Vai composition I have heard, "For the Love of God" included. I just listened to the Gutherie Govan version of Vai's song, while Gutherie is an amazing player (and overall IMO better than Vai), GG doesn't even approach playing it with THE incredible feel (and sexiness) of the original.
In term of virtuosity, J.S. Bach composed organ piece far more difficult. Imagine that, each hand was playing 2 different melody and the feet was playing a melody as well, all melody was independent and different from each other and still created perfect harmony. This is 5 different musician playing together but controlled by 1 brain. Insane. Look it up "smalin bach"
My dad used to have this song as his ringtone, that is what brings me here. Rip dad 15-4-2015 iloveyou sm ❤️ (currently getting (electric) guitar lessons and practicing this song)
I've been here since 2009, it's been ten years and still listen to this everytime. It's always the last video I always watched to In RUclips and not only for the video but also for the comments.
@@cybercrawl6816 Yah, there's no end to learning. This is just really really far down the road in learning to where there are less and less people of this skill level who are able to "become the notes" hahaha or whatever Steve is always saying.
That descend at 2:57 is so damn perfectly smooth and fitting. It's parts of Steve's phrasing like this that makes his style and inspiration. Guys like Steve teach other how to take guitar to a new level
I can't express how much Steve Vai has been in my life helping me cope with tough situations. He has brought me from the lowest of lows to high just with his music.
what i admire about Steve Vai the most is the crazy amount of control and mastery he has over the guitar. every note is intentional, smooth and has meaning. it's almost surreal watching him play and the types of notes that come out. not to mention he makes his guitar have a voice. you know it's Vai when he hits a note. of course, i also enjoy the infrequent times an accident happens (e.g. amp goes out, string breaks) because his playing generally is so perfect that it's impossible to believe and those moments show that he is real.
After many days learning old Gospel songs to play for the elderly at a nursing home I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head. Thank you Steve! You truly are a miracle! Rock On!
He's an absurd guitarist and this is probably the most amazing filmed guitar performance, he may even be the best living guitarist in the world, but still doesn't beat Jimi Hendrix's hippie fueled jamming genius. Songs like Machine Gun, Hear My Train A Coming, Spanish Castle Magic (the extended studio one on my channel), Voodoo Child (Slight Return).. there's just no one on his level.
steve vai demonstrates perfect dynamics. from fast and loud, back to gentle and soft. not just great guitar work, but just excellent understanding of music in general. shout out my guy steve!
@@gskelton2937 Is it fact that he used it from that song or is that what you think happened? I know the song and band well. Jason Bonham was the drummer. They were an excellent band. I mean I don't have an issue with being inspired by other songs, but if he stole it then I'd think he'd be brought up on plagiarism charges.
No mention of how he just blew all of your fave guitarists off the stage and down the road? And PS hair must be a sore spot for you since you are 80% bald.
I don't know how many times I have listened to this. 2:30-2:40 are my favoutite parts. Sounds easy but very difficult to execute. The slide downwards has one of my favorites sounds ever. The Donald Duck tone at the end is also spectacular.
I can't cope with the effort to wipe my tears from all the laughter all these comments have provoked me =))))))))))))))))))) God you people are INSANE ! :))) Aaand... perfectly right about everything.

Proof that Steve Vai writes the best lyrics.
He wrote this Prince. You can kinda tell from the title
Jimi Hendrix Villanova junction
Jimi kinda wrote the song. Vai took it way beyond tho.
he makes the guitar sing... hahaha
Steve Vai for many people is the reason to play guitar. And also the reason to quit to play it.
+Camilo Sánchez Same feeling with Joe Pass and jazz guitar..
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.

Its more like the amount of knowledge of your instrument and the music fondations and how you use it, than the kind of music itself.
He is not bad. Stop kissing ass. Learn to advance in life with the excess of blowjobs of any kind. Always say the truth.

Every girl deserves a guy who touches her the way Vai touches his guitar

4:34 when you run out of amazing riffs and end up doing Donald Duck impressions and nobody bats an eye lid.
Bro you win, legit crying after reading your comment.
WTF LOLLLL IM DYING EEE
holy shit lmfao
And then gets in a car crash

The guitar smoked a cigarette after this
if it was van Halen, it literally would
😏
They both did lol 😂
I Never laughed so hard at a comment but this one took the cake man.
Seriously, what is with guitar players and sex metaphors, especially on this video, i guys are really weird
One of the few guitarists who can tell you a story with just a guitar... immortal
No he took off this song from Kingdom come WHAT LOVE Can Be.....I lost respect cause he doesn't credit where credit is due.

This is the best guitar recording on all of youtube.
His blend of feeling and technique is second to none
I know For The Love of God will always be seen as Steves magnum opus, but Tender Surrender has so many complexities and so much depth, that I believe it to be not only his greatest work but one of the most magnificent compositions of all time.
Absolutely man!!!
This is the best Vai composition I have heard, "For the Love of God" included. I just listened to the Gutherie Govan version of Vai's song, while Gutherie is an amazing player (and overall IMO better than Vai), GG doesn't even approach playing it with THE incredible feel (and sexiness) of the original.
Fractal Audio and also one of the most challenging ones to play. It took me 3 months to learn the second measure.
In term of virtuosity, J.S. Bach composed organ piece far more difficult. Imagine that, each hand was playing 2 different melody and the feet was playing a melody as well, all melody was independent and different from each other and still created perfect harmony. This is 5 different musician playing together but controlled by 1 brain. Insane. Look it up "smalin bach"
what's "steve's magnum opus" means?

This song is on another level of beauty.
My dad used to have this song as his ringtone, that is what brings me here. Rip dad 15-4-2015 iloveyou sm ❤️ (currently getting (electric) guitar lessons and practicing this song)
Your dad sounded like a man with two good ears and a degree of taste. Sometimes a piece of music transports you somewhere.
Rip i hope he was the greatest dad you ever had
Dad, knew his music then.. Trust me. You were listening to playlists from a man with taste for the good shit! Amen

I've been here since 2009, it's been ten years and still listen to this everytime. It's always the last video I always watched to In RUclips and not only for the video but also for the comments.
Justino Ceniza yep
2023 still listening
2025
I WISH I could go back in time and listen to this for the first time again
I always tell people.. if you ever hear me play this song, I've finished learning the guitar.
There is not a finish line in learning, but i get your point!

@@cybercrawl6816 Yah, there's no end to learning. This is just really really far down the road in learning to where there are less and less people of this skill level who are able to "become the notes" hahaha or whatever Steve is always saying.
After 5 years of training I was only able to play this song with my mouth. Thanks steve.. 😭
For the record, he doesn't play the guitar live in this video. Line it up with the recording, especially the ending, it lines up perfectly.
If you can sing it you can play it! So they say 😂😂😂
LOL ... one of the hilarious comment of all .. :D
I feel you bruh!😂😂
i still missed some notes withmu mouth
That descend at 2:57 is so damn perfectly smooth and fitting. It's parts of Steve's phrasing like this that makes his style and inspiration. Guys like Steve teach other how to take guitar to a new level

Just went through this. I can attest to this statement. \m/
The same thing. Great .. just great!
I'm 15 right now and I just discovered Steve Vai!!
That guitar was savagely "Vai-olated"...
gross
Get out
lol
Jajajajaja 🤣
Lmaoooo
This vid has the best comments section ever!!
ikr
Hope the guitar is at least 18
Look up r Kelly ignition remix, the comments are fucking hilarious
John Mayer playing neon is a good one too but I agree this one's the best
I was thinking the same hahaha
I can't express how much Steve Vai has been in my life helping me cope with tough situations. He has brought me from the lowest of lows to high just with his music.
It’s been almost 20 years and I still get the chills playing this tune… it’s just flawless
what i admire about Steve Vai the most is the crazy amount of control and mastery he has over the guitar. every note is intentional, smooth and has meaning. it's almost surreal watching him play and the types of notes that come out. not to mention he makes his guitar have a voice. you know it's Vai when he hits a note. of course, i also enjoy the infrequent times an accident happens (e.g. amp goes out, string breaks) because his playing generally is so perfect that it's impossible to believe and those moments show that he is real.
He took off this song from Kingdom come WHAT LOVE Can Be.....I lost respect cause he doesn't credit where credit is due.

@@gskelton2937 try using Google. Vai has openly discussed what you're talking about. Stop being so salty and practice more.
the lick at 3:10 is absolutely mystical, Steve you’re a guitarist sent from heaven!!
I believe he plays for God but we get to listen.
How tf did he even come up with that lmao
After many days learning old Gospel songs to play for the elderly at a nursing home I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head. Thank you Steve! You truly are a miracle! Rock On!
I bought a Pia, primarily because of this piece. Learning it now, will report back.
@Michael ruclips.net/video/K96ITJVkLno/видео.html you tell me! 😀
And how is your progress mate? :D
@@DesignCourse that's wonderful
I bought a white pia last year. Easily the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. My friends were speechless when i showed them
Same here but in Onyx Black. Paradise in Art. Period.
I don't watch this around my guitar.

I dont want her running off with another guitarist
Haha
Good one

This video should be flagged for sexual content.

My girlfriend got pregnant just watching this video. And I didnt even touch her.
That's what I was thinking....
2:45 - pre-climax, 2:49 - climax
ummmm...... BEST COMMENT EVER! yeah do did fondle his LONG gutair alot.
Probably one of the BEST performances in the history pf the instrument. What a tone. Steve looks like a magician

@@gskelton2937 dude what are you talking about lmao there is nothing similar between the two songs
He's an absurd guitarist and this is probably the most amazing filmed guitar performance, he may even be the best living guitarist in the world, but still doesn't beat Jimi Hendrix's hippie fueled jamming genius. Songs like Machine Gun, Hear My Train A Coming, Spanish Castle Magic (the extended studio one on my channel), Voodoo Child (Slight Return).. there's just no one on his level.

Wrong he stole it from

Jaco said the same thing about himself if we’re being fair. Granted he played bass.
steve vai demonstrates perfect dynamics. from fast and loud, back to gentle and soft. not just great guitar work, but just excellent understanding of music in general. shout out my guy steve!
First time listening to Steve Vai.........I only have one thing to say.....WOW!!

@@gskelton2937 Is it fact that he used it from that song or is that what you think happened? I know the song and band well. Jason Bonham was the drummer. They were an excellent band. I mean I don't have an issue with being inspired by other songs, but if he stole it then I'd think he'd be brought up on plagiarism charges.
@@gskelton2937 tell that to the master plagiarist and liar Jimmy Paige
