    Vai used to transcribe music for Zappa back when he was only 19 or so. Of all the “shred” guitarists, he is probably the most compositionally adept. The dude literally started inventing microtonal guitars and the whole seven-string thing to create sounds he heard in his head and his playing is simply ungodly, even if it’s an acquired taste. He simply is the GOAT.

    Steves playing was unbelievable back when I believed he was human. Once I realized he was a space alien robot specifically designed to play guitar, it all made more sense.
    I mean, who has fingers that long and dexterous? And that much talent to make the guitar sing?
    Also, Bad Horsie may be my favorite riff ever.

    Steve Vai is an absolute freak. The man knows how to make a guitar sing. I'd definitely consider Vai a modern Beethoven.

    • @svartmetall
      @svartmetall 7 месяцев назад +3

      I'd actually say someone like Liszt would be a better comparison - a fine composer but also a total virtuoso on his instrument in a way that Beethoven was never focused on; Liszt was basically a rock star when he would tour Europe in the mid-19th century. Likewise Paganini, although he was nowhere near as accomplished an all-round composer as Liszt; Vai actually bears quite a striking physical resemblance to portraits of Paganini from the time...

    Please watch Tender Surender by Vai he is a very textured artist . He has just amazing layers to his music. He is not just a shred guy .
    The Passion and Warfare album is one of his best . What also makes him stand out is he is a humble nice guy who works with people not as well known to
    Shine a light on other players .

    imo Steve Vai is the most technically gifted guitarist ever. He puts emotion into his playing, alongside his incredible skill. Of course there are others I'd give the GOAT status to as well....for different reasons. IE: Roy Clark....probably the overall best person on any string instrument, and best strummer period.

    Jone, this is good but I feel the guitar is slightly lost in places due to the orchestration. You really need to checkout the first time Steve played this piece 'For the love of God' to an audience at Expo Sevilla 92. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife and Steve goes beyond even his usual emotional playing. Here's the link my friend, have fun.

    The best rendition of this piece was done by a 16 year old girl name Tina S. As this is Vais' composition, I'm not going to be so presumptuous as to find fault. At this point it is just a matter of personal preference, and I love Tinas' smoothness and emotion as opposed to this performance that, for me, seems a little harsh. The girl is something very special!

    I am a long time Vai fan and I just hate this version. I know Vai really wanted to have an orchestra play his music but it does not work for this song. It works best as the simple rock band version which lets the emotion shine. While I have played in orchestras and rock/metal bands, orchestras have too sloppy a feel for rock. They always feel like they are dragging and sound slightly out of tune and lack the intensity needed for rock and metal.
