Massimo Canfora Steve Vai The Blood and Tears 28/12/2006

[mattodisalvetti]

Ciao Massimo. Suoni bene. La canzone mi è piaciuta. L'unica cosa che posso riprenderti è, a mio parere, che la chitarra sia un po' scordata. In certi punti si sente bene..se sei sicuro di averla accordata bene, controlla che non sia un problema di intonatura del manico..! Comunque bravo ancora e cerca di essere un po' più te stesso senza imitare troppo il grande Vai :)

Ciao !!

[guitarlovermills01]

u r awesome dude... don't give a damn to these shitheads half of m don't even know to hold a guitar...

[tradbowseven]

i've been watching these vids, and I like. This dude loves Vai and has the balls to do what he loves.

[Prog4Prog]

Hey Massimo ol' Chum,

I'd just like to remind you that you suck! I hope you get crippled in a car crash so you can never play again!

you douchebag!

[mattodisalvetti]

@Prog4Prog Una persona che risponde così non può che essere un perdente. Fai pena

[jeetsatriani]

awesome playin man!!

[nikos1995patra]

Great Job !!! Vai would be proud of you :D

[Guitareben]

Omg you can do the circular vibrato too :O:O

[prutsikas]

Amazing guitarist, its clear that he is deep into Vai's music and philosofy

[graveyardclassic]

dude it's great

[samsam2307]

not great, but good playing, well done. but seriously, i suggest you drop the act and focus on playing the instrument to get better. Best

[Guitareben]

Fucking brilliant. Anyone is allowed to sound however THEY want. The people bashing you are just jealous. Amazing.

[vinzamaniac]

the position of your finger's are too weak...try to analyze and study...try different technic's,,,

[marcepetrucci]

You don´t know anything about guitar technique. His playing as well as his interpretation of this song is excellent. No weak positions, I can hear every note clearly.

[Keithdrozario12345]

You know, Steve Vai himself said, and I quite "Spent hours in front of the mirror, trying to develope a style as far as the appearance is concerned, cause it does help with the finesse of your music" .This guy is doing exactly that! Great stuff, dude. Its all about emotion and feeling your music at the end of the day. 5 stars!!!!! If you wanna sound like Vai, thats the way to go!

[shrikanthkalyan]

amazin!!!!!! loved it. i wish all indian hymns were like this :D

[arvalov7]

Heya dere dude.........ur attemptin to be GOD......nd fuck dem haters...u are pretty close to VAI dere....!!

[poopyboy456]

well played but dude.. yer not Vai

[proggedout]

Deary me. Massimo ol' chum you really shouldn't do this to yourself. Tongueing the buttocks of acceptability with this farce i see. Then again i suppose people need to laugh these days, and you provide the perfect comic foil. Inept performance dressed as virtuosity, Mutton dressed as lamb.

[Guitareben]

@proggedout = Massively jealous?

[proggedout]

Massimo, you are a puppet of your own ego. You seem to have a skill at jumping on the band wagon of professional musicians and making a mockery of the whole affair.

When will you realise that your fable is indeed reckless and shoddy?

[tommyknoker]

Really cool man, i love this song. I wish the vocals were louder but all in all it was nice.

[unfoldanduse]

Like the playing, too much of an imitation though, are you a tribute act or something?

[mgray7777]

what pedal is that your using?

[diocaolino]

i use Digitech dhp 33 (rack effect) with expression pedal

[sandrillon31]

t'es ou toi là dedans ?

[drewslog]

haaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaa jem jrr

[pedrowrt]

no, its a Jem 555

[manhun7]

good job dude, keep it up..

[N4TH4N222]

most of u jerks are missing the point! like dave said aswell, he is gd at his guitar, not perfect but not even Vai the legend is perfect, ive only been playing guitar for a year and listen to vai everyday! i reda tab from his passion and warfare book and its very very hard, i have respect for people like u recklessfable and keep rockin dude!

[33dave]

No, this guy is good. Some people get off on the whole "Wanna-be" or "Copy Cat" stuff when it comes to Vai and guitar players copying him. I was KINDA like that at one point. Vai is like the icon that guitar players strive for. Vai tapped into the artistic well with imagery, style, music. Listening to Vai's music has an effect on the person that really UNDERSTANDS what Vai is doing. People end up mimicking Vai as the beginning of their journey into redesigning Vai within themselves. Good playing

[SteveProg]

reckless fable, you have got a hell of a lot of Vids of you playing Vai. You are clearly a dedicated Vai man but i have to ask, are you not interested in playing your own music?, in your own way?, with your own facial expressions?. Tis a strange thing that someone would devote themselves, seemingly entirely, to the image and sound of another. Virtuoso players such as Vai often state the importance of individualism, and personality in music. Up the chuff-pipe?.

[RecklessFable]

of course i will get aids, when i fuck your mom and your sister

[kudochop]

Well then why would you fuck them? You're an idiot, yes you are!

[brendonsgay]

progged, dude, I totaly know what your saying!! I also like to watch this when I want a good laugh. This guy probably jacks off to the poster of Steve Vai in his room, then likes to fantasize about getting it up the butt from Vai.

[bigmusicman69]

Very Cool!

[proggedout]

i watch this on a weekly basis when i want cheering up - this guy is such a try-hard it makes me laugh. I bet he has a steve vai pillow case that he tosses off into.

[Zotoaster]

You guys are all so pathetic, it's actually funny. No worries, I will just watch RecklessFable climb over all of you and you can all sit infront of your computers and throw insults at him; I bet he will be too busy gigging and scoring chicks to even notice :)

Great work man. Very nice and clean.

[RobertoColombo]

Secondo me devi studiare piu' in dettaglio il brano.

Certe note lunghe hanno poco "calore" e alcune frasi veloci sono un po' confuse.

Ho studiato anche io questo pezzo e so che alcune diteggiature non sono facili... ma d'altra parte stiamo parlando di Steve Vai! Continua a studiare il pezzo, usa il metodo Donato Begotti: frase lenta, poche note, se non la sbagli per 16 volte piu' incrementare un poco il metronomo :-)

[N711DA]

Woooooow man proggedout and chickinman u guys are so gay i bet not one of you can play guitar like this guy.. RecklessFable did a great job. I totally agree with billtheglourios u guys critise way to much. And Hellsbusta yout gay too! U Guys SUCK!! great job dude sounded great!

[proggedout]

i agree with chickenman, this guy is one of lifes nobodies. I hope he looses all his limbs. get off you offend my ears! loving the steve vai fan too - what an irritating little man

[billtheglorious]

Right out of all of you criticising him for this. How many of you can play guitar? And if you do how many of you can play anything by steve vai?

[chickinmanyt]

what an absalout bloody ego, he even poses like steve vai! get a haircut sunshine,take that ridiculous hairband off, your not in wimbledon and finally take your ibanez guitar, frame it, and pretend you won it at a Steve Vai quiz online after choosing the mystery box. Then sonny jim its time to wake up and consider a career change.

[rocknwill003]

your a total asshole whats ur problem?

[berzerkerking]

Awesome, to the very least, if I am to be miser in praising the piece.

Inspired me to pick up mine and try to do the same ... :)

[hellsbusta]

Your fucking shit, sell your guitar on ebay and kill yourself. your shit from Aaron Rajaap

[RecklessFable]

sorry, i cant sell my guitar, nobody want it. But i can still fuck you mother...ok ? sure she will be glad

[hellsbusta]

ben u fukin nob jockey

[RaphaelFragelli]

@hellsbusta

asshole

This guy is great. You are raped by your father ?

[meinaksel]

Holy Shit!!Great play:d

[chethanjs]

nice playing. think your gutiar is a bit loud .

[URAGR8M8]

Nice work, ignore the comments by the dickheads who can't play guitar and have no videos up.

[alwayswalter]

many people posting here have no idea on what is involved in playing this stuff. It may not be original... but playing this songs it's not like you seat, listen a couple of times the song at play... carry on Massimo, you have the guts to try and descifer it... !!

[Gnocchi]

You´re pathetic!

Totally Sucks, man!

It bored me to death.

Do never copy things, that can impossibly get better than the original, but hey: then you must stop playing guitar, i guess...

Do some own shit, at least

[WinterFist]

Wow your so much like Steve Vai.. not.

[maumoral]

you suck dude,you'd better practise

[bliss865]

doppio in che senso??....cmq sei bravissimo!!

[lo7angus]

massimo!!!!  ma sei italiano?? voglio sapere che effetti usi!! credo un wammy e poi??

[RecklessFable]

sono italianissimo. intendi che effetti uso su questa song ? semplice, whammy doppio

[russhardyman]

your playing isnt bad i would love to be able to play these songs but your vibrato needs a lot of work

[RecklessFable]

of course

[Sludge311]

If you are going to rip off Vai's persona at least play the song standing up.

[Thediegmyster]

wow ... dude .. get your own personality ..

[KissMyEss]

hhahhhahhaah yea i agree!

[xperimetal]

Jem rules!!! Nice playng!!!

[w2iecmkkghht]

Dude,i know you'r e big fan of Vai but this is rediculous.

[RecklessFable]

i do it just for promotion to my vai's tribute band

[dylanleelooker36]

guys check out guthrie govan , the best guitarist in the world . the jeff beck jam he plays is amazing .

[RecklessFable]

i know guthrie govan....

[edswolfy]

love the expressions, wannabe. makes me not want ot by an ibanez. you give they monkey grip meaning...

[lespaul369]

Bad

[CloudFROST]

You played as bad as you can, your career is finished!

[CloudFROST]

Not good

[ScottTePaa]

Another Steve Vai clone! All the time you have wasted trying to sound like someone else, when you could have been working towards your own style!

[lydianModeX]

U Rock....

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

TAGS: Jad guitar gently weeps

[XXdariaXX]

damn! This is awesome i cant wait to go see him at the guitar show on saturday :DDDDDDDDDD

[RecklessFable]

me too !!! saturday i will be at london for Steve masterclass...see you there

[rimpink]

NICE!

[pandascarpo]

In linea di principio non sei malvagio ma in effetti la copia mal riuscita di Steve Vai (specie nelle movenze) ti penalizza. Non è un commento sarcastico, senza offese, sei un bravo chitarrista (sono sincero!), ma imitare goffamente (perdonami ma è così) il vibrato circolare di Vai o ancora peggio alcune sue espressioni getta del ridicolo su te...che ripeto mi sembri un valido chitarrista invece!

[RecklessFable]

ripeto che non è una cosa voluta. che tu ci creda o no, certe movenze mi vengono spontanee da quando steve vai non lo conoscevo nemmeno. il vibrato circolare invece l' ho copiato ma ormai ce l' ho sulle dita e lo faccio anche quando suono i miei pezzi (che assolutamente NON sono alla vai) perchè produce un suono diverso rspetto agli altri tipi di vibrato. in ogni caso, promovendo qui la mia band che fa il vai tribute, ho cercato di fare tutto per assomigliargli.

ciao

[kkhadka]

dirty copier, wahhahhaha, dude nice try but u suck, do something original

[RecklessFable]

i still do more original music. but its no free

bye

[elansible]

there is nothing bad in doing a version but the fact is that you imitate him even in the gestures . Ummm a little of personality. Anyway you touch it very well

[RecklessFable]

i explain this on touching tongue video.

thank you

[elansible]

In your video touching tongues, between the 4:00 and 405, among other parts, you copy exactly the gestures that steve does with the hands and the face. Even when you do the vibratos with only one finger doing "circles". You touch it very well, but you pass trying to imitate him. I think you must try to create your own world of gestures. It is as if you were feeling the music across his mind. Anyway you touch it very well

[salvady]

complimenti davvero! specie per l'uso degli effetti...capisc'a mè! :)

[salvady]

Aaa Canforaaaa sei grandisssiiimooooooo!!!

[RecklessFable]

con chi ho il piacere di commentare ?!?
