[shabi4n]

[QuantumThe]

That's why Steve is one of the Greatest Musicians of the 21st Century. Inspired by Universe.

[Xaederaz]

Lovely 7 string tune... Gonna have to save up for a 7 string with a good trem...

[zerekzoo]

Does he use the 7th string for this song?

[MuggerFugger665]

@zerekzoo yes

[TomMoranoHimself]

[mafoota]

Lovely tone on this.

[ZZUBZERO]

THe one where you introduce the newest jem

[ZZUBZERO]

Sounds cool Steve! Neat dark piece........ And,.....Can you tell me if the jam at the beginning of this Ibanez video is a song of yours, and if, so which album can I get the whole thing? 

[7StringSeven]

Learning this by ear now because it's so freaking awesome!!!

I'm up to 25 seconds now..

[shredicon86]

Vai got tone.

[IplayMusic2]

Steve and Paul were grown from the same test tube. I was too, but they sterilized it too many times and I only got a small percent of talent.

[DavemechL1011]

Looks like he's playing a Green Dot UV!

[CCCMSM]

COME AL SOLITO ONLY STEVE!!!!!!!!

[ctamaray]

is it 2:20 in the morning or afternoon?

[00sven00sven00]

@guitarmageddonhax thats what i waa gonna say!

[pamposh666]

Great! The first part of this song reminds me of "Kojo no Tsuki", famous Japanese song. (I found Scorpions version on YouTube.) I didn't realize this melody could be so heavy, because we learn the song in boring music class of elementary school.

[ggcoolg]

Nothing like staying up late into the night and making music.....

[AlexMcshred6505plus]

do I detect a note (not a pun) of Dream Theater? this sound freakin' awesome

[Shredsomemore]

Kinda reminds of Endless Sacrifice

[ff8tapwned]

Intro sounds like "Give into me" by MJ and Slash

[mito13progressive]

What kind of headphone is this?

[RezzhaF]

haha funny hair , lol

[CEm0i]

I hope this song will be in the next James Bond

[manvaix]

@CEm0i are you mad? James Bond sucks now and Steve´s music is too great for popcorn movie like Bond...

[guisantenuclear]

Es increible como este tio es capaz de sorprender una y otra vez!!

[mod50]

He can play and chew gum at the same time. :-)

[Darmain0001]

This is Mr Vai doing what he does best, and he's so very good at it. What made this one stand out? It took me a while to realise. This is beautiful work without shreading, well, not yet anyway, I suspect it might pick up a bit later on. But it goes to prove, yet again, that Steve can play this instrument, whatever the material. It's got my vote and is on my "to buy" list, when it becomes available. Thanks for sharing Steve!!

[Magoosle]

I loved Real Illusions, but I think this album may top it.

[WilleyGHD3]

What is the tuning??? That sure isn't "standard"......is it?

[profanious]

@WilleyGHD3 I think it's a 7 string.

[Thill1116]

It's 2:20am Do you know where your hairs at? Didnt even recognize him.

[AlexDIIM]

2 things:

1) can't wait to listen to this song when it'll be completed

2) can't wait to see your hair grow long again :| 

[TheSantanaLee]

Anyone know which guitar of his this is? :)

[naochiMalmsteen]

Steve took an arrow in the knee,somehow his long hair gone.

[locochupacerebros]

wow, I love the sound of that metronome <3

[MrGeeetar]

paul gilbert playing vai?

[Njc102100]

seria 2:20 da manhã? rs

[theMachineandI]

Such great chunkiness. Thank you for having a proper YouTube and giving us such a great insight into your processes.:)

[r0kas]

this reminded me As I Am by Dream Theater

[gayhomosexualcock]

amazing how much he reminds me of paul gilbert without his hair

[timmo1782]

''oooh my hair is getting good in the back'' get some perspective now ..

[LeviJacksonGuitarist]

sounds interesting cant wait to hear more alien love secrets from the ultra zone :)

[nzSkitzo]

Wow I am so happy to see Steve with a 7 string again! can someone tell me wich one it is? I can see a square heel.

[Gabriopunk77]

He made a mistake. Wow. He's actually human.

[ShadowLancer128]

He Belongs with his hair at his shoulders. period.

No buddhist genius of musical hero should ever be without a full head of hair to match his brilliance. period.

[vubear]

@ShadowLancer128 With you on that one mate. I don't wanna be rude about my High Exhaulted Mystic Ruler but he kinda looks like a cancer patient now:(

[MrSantiago1911]

Master.....

[jaibhakti]

Beautiful.

[TheFutureImagination]

WHY HERE APPEARED A DISLIKE BUTTON!!?

[TheFutureImagination]

IMPOSSIBLE!

[jereibanez]

Yeah!!! Steve Fucking Vai is back to the 7 string guitar!!

[FarezRulz]

hypnotizing... can't stop listening to it.

[Symblotic]

So I guess the fan is retired now?...

[Chrizzter]

Steve is the king.

[adanbettencourt]

Steve Gilbert? amazing 7 string sound!!!!!!!!!

[FazSaber]

Nothing beats listening to Steve Vai on a 7 string :D

[BriansProjects]

Steve is pretty much awesome

[SuperSparson]

Fucking amazing!!! Can't stop watching it

[85skateboarding]

J' ai tres hate d' entendre la version final!!!

[JonnyBarkerOfficial]

Am I the only guy watching over and over again?

[JonnyBarkerOfficial]

Sounds amazing, this album can't come soon enough!! Love the stuff he does on 7 string (like 'Under it All')

[sixpounder6169]

trying to look like paul gilbert and play like jeff loomis haha jk awesome playing there steve!

[DiveBombProductions]

That might be one of the most bad ass things you've ever wrote. That sounded so amazing!!!!!

[MAFBmusic]

Now there is a man who loves what he does, even while recording steve shows that amount of passion we are used to see when he plays live. I would love to see him live but unfortunately the last time he came to portugal was in 2007 and I didn't know his work yet.

Besides his technical skills he is for sure an inspiration not only for guitar players but to every musician around the world. Long life to Master Vai

[uv777gr]

Awesome!!!!!



[TheJuza74]

[RickyandNathy]

That Song Remind me the Tunes from Alive in Ultra World !!! ;)
