Steve Vai The Blood & Tears guitar solo

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa113]

nic dude i like it.........



[StevieVaibanez]

Lol! The notes are all there, but you butchered the timing! Do it again and take your time, I want to see the great version I know you can do! :)

[vinovik]

Nice, man but like some people said you must be careful with the notes time, some of the phrases were out of the time, sometimes too fast and runned over. But congrats and keep on rockin!

[liamzuid]

what is the first mode played?

It sounds so unique and full of emotion.

[IAndreIB]

Nice try dude

I like your approach, but you could pratice with a metronome

Keep on rocking

[fruduadirectdeal]

Bellissima serie di video! Bella anche le chitarra ;)

[victu89]

it is like Yngwie Malmsteen's interpretation of this song

[MaxBGuitar]

Beautiful guitar? ;)

Also beautiful song! Hehe...

[Guitareben]

Brilliant :D. Mebe a tad more phrasing and less speed next time (or a backing track), but great all the same :O

[TommyDai1]

excelent attempt but dont speed up so much youre a little out of time

[barefootinthewoods]

Dude - props!

[rfd73]

Damn I did not know that solo was that hard, good job man

[captbubbada1st]

good skills on a guitar but the overall value of music is dog crap. Its like a fart in the wind. I will not even remeber this 2 days from now

[zeemonkey187]

alzheimer's already?

[devax1986]

I respect the attempt. This was by far my favorite album from Vai. I want more Ultra Zone!!!

[Arto345]

wow now thats sweet... and you do it all without a pick! nice

[MarcusAtreides]

Very nice!

[ARFilms2007]

How do you do it? :)

[ARFilms2007]

Only watched the video for that sikk robo sound lolll, sounds gd :)

[gmonkeyatstupidstuff]

no pick!!!??? amazing

[JohnnyStreets]

Awesome!! Now I feel like a doofus for not knowing that was a digitech whammy. I HAVE ONE FOR CHRISAKES. Amazing job!

[arawzan]

you can play all the song pleas coz u have a good feeling,i want to play it but i can't found the effect ( i have a digitech rp6)

thnx

[kornozzyc4]

yo dude what effect do i use to get that sweet robo sound?

[Gullun2002]

It's a wammy pedal xp100 digitech

[dominicleo24]

not bad man..these ppl who commented u down here probally cudnt even get close to u...i wont say its perfect but evrybdy cant get the exact feel like vai cuz its not ur song,its his...

[t4tarzan]

I just used a low tempo and more of the feel , if you do have time then please have a look at my vid it would be great support ... thanks

[dominicleo24]

sure man..see u at the top

[ncook1234]

You'd be really good if you put a little more time into phrasing. Speed isn't everything. Go buy a metronome.

[Gullun2002]

I have no time to play now! sigh

I know well what you are saying sigh!

[ncook1234]

Right on man, it's still a killer job, 5*'s

[wstorres]

hat kind of effect (make and model) and amplifier used?

[Seganiba]

very nice and without pick

i love the tone

five stars for you

[donbrozz]

err...sloppy. well thought out, but sloppy

[hamerexploreremd]

really good!!!!!

[lpoolmad]

Congrats! You fell upon the notes like a chimp fell upon Macbeth. Sorry, but you have zero feel, timing and technique.

You good be good if you concentrated on playing instead of posing

[ncook1234]

Yep

[mrmichael20]

good job

[bigmusicman69]

How do you get your sound!

[VaiJedi]

Sway ching! Lee-ang tune.

[philippaps44]

What about the "asian sky" solo (2:40-2:50) and the final solo (2:50-2:55)?

[whammydive67]

very good, but I miss the bear ....

[deroomman]

Dude, You kicked that guitar's ass

[doctoridiculous]

finally!!! good job... the others who attempted this solo on youtube didn't deliver it quite as well...

good job bro

amber

[AlexLococo]

hell fucking yeah!

[myusernameissocool]

sick guitarrr

[whale125]

good

[redge89]

lol MEITBEITA blatently still playin a strat copy or somethin.

[icworld]

skillz!!

no pick?

[undeadninja]

The Ultra Zone is a pretty sick album. That song "Oooooo" has one of the most amazing guitar solos I've ever heard to date. Sometimes Vai's stuff turns me off, but this album has some tunes that really do it for me. Great transcription of a hard-ass solo, I must say.

[hany259]

a little too technical..

[dylanleelooker36]

guthrie govan is a guitar god .check him out . the jeff beck jam amongst others and tell me what you think .

[MEITBEITA]

Why is steve vai's music so souless, and eigties lame. Who ever walks out of store with a Ibanez must be tone def. :)

[funnyguy1321]

dude, you need to read up on some steve vai. maybe watch some more vids. he uses more feeling than you can imagine. And the tone def thing is not true. Just dont think that Herman Li is cool.

Yea, go to Vai. com and say that steve's music has no soul, and you will get what you asked for

[BrokenVai]

What songs of Steve Vai's have you really listened to? Or are you taking a guess because of this guy? Because really, this is a beautiful song and this guy wasn't in rhythm. I am tired of all this crap about guitarists not having soul in their songs, especially against the guitarists that do have soul in their songs.

[GuitarMasta37]

haha! so you basicly are saying anyone who plays fast and doesn't bend every other note and make gay faces playes with no soul.yeah and i guess you've never played an Ibanez before then. yeah i just got the RG550 20th aneversery and its amazing. there was only 200 in the U.S. of the yellow. and by the way... watch some of vai's other songs like Tender Surrender. yeah... don't tell me his music doesn't have any soul.

[andymuzic]

Hey what's ya gear? Post it in the description otherwise guys like me will repeatedly ask you :)

The guitar... I didnt recognise the headstock, hmm

As for the harmonised sound, is that a digitech whammy or an eventide harmoniser or something?

Oh yeah, sweet job man, your obvously a BIG vai fan!

Shounld get a backing track going to play it to, big geeky just playin the solo alone, haha

[federicombarrer]

que culia.... ta re copado loco

[mesamesa1]

this man has been caught eating a man sausage in a toco bell bathroom......its true

[CloudFROST]

Great!!!

[krazykid7217]

all guitars are know for their best things like eddie van halen.......inveneted 3 finger tappin ,dimebag darrell his high pitch harmonic squeels hedrix well lucky he could remeber what the hell he was play half the time he was so messed up he didnt even know what cords were where but if he could see where they were played he could play it all guitarist are know for one thing or another

[mahesh248]

nice tone , u almost got the blood and tear tone, and good solo, slightly off in the end but u pulled it , this song has an indian touch to it

[kribbles]

Those pickups look like DiMarzios, do you mind telling me what model they are?

[Gullun2002]

don't know what type of pickups are the neck and the middle ones.

The bridge model is a Jeff Beck. All Seymour Duncan.

[soadrocker856]

Haha you guys are so fucking stupid.

Hendrix is a terrible guitar player. His technique is comparable to am 80 year old person with down syndrome and severe arthritis. He is terrible! He fucking sucks! Sure he made some stuff that was good enough for stoned out hippies, and he died so now everyone is forced to like him. Go back to worshiping Green Day and learn guitar, or at least learn proper technique so you all don't look so fucking stupid.

[NurseDischord]

Hendrix was an amazing songwriter and a talented musician who really put soul into his playing.

Ok, so by todays standard he's not that good, Vai would eat him for breakfast, in fact in an out-and-out widdle-fest I could prob give him a jolly good seeing to. But Vai could never write "If 6 was 9" or "Machine Gun".

[NurseDischord]

Actually soadrocker, i think i get it. you don't like music. You like technique.

Well done. I hope you're proud of youself for somewhat missing the point.

[lordtkn]

I like that sound

[TheNeonLantern]

dood

everyone knows jimi is one of the best there ever was.

in accordance with his time

steve vai would have never played like he did if it wasnt for jimi's influnence..

yeah vai is way better in sheer playing

but you have to look at the times they were playing

jimi was starting a movement that vai had been exposed to his whole life

[Jefferies2006]

hendrix doesnt suck and he's a retard, but thats a bit harsh, everyones entitled to their own opinons.

[soadrocker856]

Hendrix sucks but this guy doesn't.

[hjorthan]

Screw you!

[aurian4parker]

fuck you

[rasomaso]

I hope you'll die slowly, painfuly and as soon as possible!!!!

[MuzMuzMuz]

Fuck you SoadRocker, you disrespectful homo prick. I hope you burn slowly, naked, in fron of your crush, you whorebag.

[MilanWraith]

you're just jealous

[hilltopmoma]

What the fuck do you know soadrocker? That you suck cock and hasn't seen what guitarists can play? Steve Vai liked Hendrix bitch so shut the fuck up prick

[Mitkovic]

I want to do that :)

[Designedbydeath]

haha very awesome! I can tell you know your fair share of vai stuff

[augfive]

syntax,, i bet he can play with soul and heart and ..whatever the otehr shit you were saying..lol--how can any of you judge a player by ONE tune!? i can find hendrix solos that SUCKED! he was out of tuned and too stoned half the time.. do you judge him on only that? no.. thanks

[Gullun2002]

It's only digitech wammy pedal (maybe ........ preset 24).

it has the first note and the fourth. when you press the pedal you have the first note ant the fifth.

[ShredWorldPromoter]

Great Video....Solid Performance....

Check this amazing video too....Great touch great technique..

Cheers to all you guitar Freaks

[dimecrusader]

the way steve plays guitar he has to have a.d.d.

well done man

[ura1poohead]

exactly 1 minute!

Lol awesome man

[syntaxburn]

nice speed..but can you create a soulful solo on the spot that doesnt require sweeps and other gay 80's trix?I suggest you listen to SRV/Hendrix/Mayer to know the other side of rock guitar, ya know, sweet tone and soul??But I guess playing for 40yr old long-haired burnouts doesnt require any of that...rock on garth! LOL

[alijens]

So you like srv\hendrix\mayer better than vai.I guess you are a bald 70year old burnout then.LOL NOT!!!

[IamGuitars]

you fucking suck so does hendrix

[PapaHet4Life]

you suck, at life and ur bf's cock u dick

[Trippedfellanddied]

Jealous twat

[PapaHet4Life]

what? i wasn't talkin bout the guy playin in the vid u twathead i meant the guy down there who said 'you fucking suck and so does jimi hendrix' IamGuitars is his name, think before u call people jelous ye?

[stevevaizorz]

this is a cover, listen to the whole real song, you might enjoy it

[shrikanthkalyan]

might enjoy!!?>??? its a killer song!!! enjoyed rt frm da beginning till the end

[catopwnz]

your the best man .. wow you are duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[RecklessFable]

bella capo. come lo setti il whammy ?

ciao

[Gullun2002]

vado a controllare l'impostazione....

[Gullun2002]

Il programma deve essere il 24 hai impostato la tonica e la quarta giusta sopra (col pedale a riposo). premendo il pedale la nota armonizzante diventa una quinta giusta sopra. ciao

[cheifsniper]

What the hell, he isn't even holding a pick

[MrScorn]

No he didn't speed up the video you idiot, my dad can play faster than that, I would know what it would look like if he sped it up.

[lydianModeX]

U Rock....

Guitar Lovers......>>>>>>>>>check this amazingly great player too:

TAGS: Jad guitar gently weeps

[zackdaripr]

sweet

[xwb9447]

Well done dude. Keep it up...

[o0thefairy0o]

he also clearly just sped up the vid..

[jonjoshaw92]

this is crap but no offence to the guy who played it except hes crap hahahahaha!!!!!!!!

[LookItsRael]

You have a small penis.

[Clinton06]

HAve you ever heard the actual song? You probably cant even play a blues scale. O I get it, you think that Fall out Boy and Panic at the Disco play music. Okay, guys, don't make fun of him for being GAY AND FAGISH FOR INSULTING THE GREATIST GUTAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!! :D

[harmonicnote]

The tone you have is absolutely astounding!!!

BRAVO!!! Keep posting!!!!!!! CHEERS

BTW, that was flawless!!!!

[miticosheva7]

sei un tabbozzo!!!

[Gullun2002]

Tabbozzo, scusa ma traduci!

[zaction]

signore molto buon! Sorry if my Italian is not good :) Well done dude! I am impressed!

[storyoftheyear113]

i agree with jeniAce satrianis better

[GitarrPwnz]

Satriani himself doesnt think so.

[JeniAce]

hes solos dont even sound like something... it sounds like all hes doing is hitting random chords no offence it sounds like crap...

[GitarrPwnz]

Shut up douche

[chikaofg]

Do you use a pick at all?

[Gullun2002]

I use a fingerpick

[chikaofg]

That's a skill in its own. Amazing playing =]

[slaghmelis]

lol to the person who said it was fast forwarded.

your a fucking idiot

Steve Vai, is quite good

but hes not all that.

just fyi

[Kubrick10]

OMFG you rock !

amazing >_<"

[Gullun2002]

Commenta pure in italiano grazie.

[DoubleDlol]

dude you rock!

[sepasertan]

fantastic

[waynebradybitch]

WOW. awesome man

[f4phantom2500]

This shit's fast forwarded!

[thefirstkrow]

no its not...

[rimpink]

Bang up job!

[JakeELee]

what a screaming tone, did not suprise me it came from one of those marshalls which eddie played beat it on! Great tone!

[Millenwagon]

ur bloody good :) nice tone too. suprised u only got 3 stars, some of them must have been from jealous musicians, or because theyd prefer to hear it with some backing music? who knows, i give 5 stars

[flyingV1043]

it sounds really good man. good job.

[flyingV1043]

amazing. how did u get that tone?

[Gullun2002]

It's only a Marshall DSL 50 with a boss sd1 and a quadraverb in the effect loop.

[yasi13]

not bad but that doesn'T sound like the real solo !!

[Gullun2002]

you finally found the "hot water".

I am not Steve!

[DivineCharon]

he's got skill, but compared to hendrix- nuh uh.

No feeling, and no harmony in the perfect combination of tunes.

This guy: speed

Jimi: stardust

[Gullun2002]

You are right!

[045355]

stop comparing people to Jimi, Jimi's style is different from Vai's. Live with it

[045355]

SHUT UP! THIS SONG ISN'T SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE HENDRIX!

(I felt that that was the best way to make this point bluntly once and for all)

Now copy and paste this message or a similar one every time you hear someone try to compare Hendrix to another  great guitar player. (sorry for the chain message joke cheap shot) =)

[Mykel2323]

nice work. who needs seven strings?

[EddieSKnox]

Cool, I need to record some of my stuff sometime. Steve rocks

[alienfingers]

got some great skills, mate keep up the great work! =D

[kungfucolin]

yeah.. I watched a few more of your videos and I can finally see where you are "concealing" that pick :)

[kungfucolin]

That was fricken amazing.. how did you get that attack with your finger? damn

[Gullun2002]

Thank you.

[Gullun2002]

I use a finger pick on my first finger.

[imbroken8]

And no pick?...pretty good rendition...how `bout something original...and button yer shirt, it`s 2007, not 1987!...

[darthjz]

I would start a band or solo project, if I were you

[Gullun2002]

Thank you.

[darthjz]

seriously, and finally, great european guitar players aren't dead bro, you proved it!!

[mitsuioskline]
