It looks as though Vai's picking the initial string every time he comes back to it so he doesn't have to hammer-on, and it sounds as though he's sliding on the tapped notes. Tapping fret 15, then sliding to 16, then going back to 15 real quick. Wouldn't that be more expected from Vai?
I can tap the higher string...but the string above, when I hammer-on and pull-off, i can't mute the note after I play it...
like in the first arppegio, in A...I can tap the high E string, but when I change to the B string, the other 2 notes don't sound clear, and when I go back to the high E, the open B string keeps ringing )=
@GuitarLessons365 I'm more of a blues guitarist but all my favorite guitarist are in 80s metal and every band i love has a guitarist who can tap and your vid is the first one thats actually helped me to do some cool tappin.btw if you can listen to a song called the explorer by shotgun messiah and see if you could make an instructional vid for that cuz youre a good teacher bro
Great stuff. Say, would it be possible for you to cover some Uli Jon Roth style techniques? His phrasing and scale playing has always especially intrigued me but anything in his playing would nice especially of the Electric Sun era style Uli.
@guitarick94 Using lydian on whatever chord you're playing over will give you a very distinct Vai sound, especially if you really emphasize that #4. Otherwise, he uses the same scales as everyone else
exlenete ,man vi tu video as poco en una pagina de facebook se llama Guitar Cover of World buena pagina exlente buscala en facebook estan los mejores videos .y sales tu man ,espero que te sirva de algo..
thanx man. this video really helped ayee. ive been using this heaps now, its sounds so awesome. i have suscribed and hope you can reply soon. Monsaro10 thancx
Found this to be very useful. Especially the explanations on chordal spellings. That in and of itself should be incredibly helpful to most anyone even if they can't perform the mechanics immediately.
Totally great. I really had not ventured in this direction because I do Country - but - I just saw Johnny Hiland doing this so I guess it is OK to learn this vid!
hey man, i really like your lessons but the only thing is that i have an electric guitar but it's completely out of tune and i don't know how to tune it.
Only critics I have are about ur microfone. Your voice sounds a bit , like ur taking through ur shirt. Makes it a little effort for me to listen to you. but thats only my opinion, otherwise great lessons and lots of stuff to improve my skills, thx for sharing your skills!
That video was really nice, but I can't do too much with it because I only have an acoustic guitar and my level is only two months experience. So if you could make a video that teaches easy songs for beginners I would really appreciate that. Thanks for sharing this video with me, I have subscribed :) Please reply if you can.
@iddo12233 Hey, check out my song lessons channel. I have some easy acoustic songs on there. :) My song lesson channel's name is GuitarLessons365song Thanks!!
@akamarutv Play this.. 1st string tap 8th fret with picking hand, pull off to the 5th fret then the 2nd with the fret hand. Hammer-on with left hand onto the 4th fret on the 2nd string and pull off to the 3rd fret. Hammer back onto the 4th fret and continue going back up opposite the way you came down. :)
This lesson is precious for me in two different aspects: 1) It contains a simple yet detailed explanation of a trick of a master as Steve Vai 2) It reassured me that people with long and thin fingers such as myself would also be able to play the guitar as good as others thanks to the anatomy of the teacher ;)
Hey. could you please tell me what you used to record the guitar in this video, i'm guessing it's amp modelling software but which software in particular?? Thanks
