  • EL MEJOR DE INSTRUMENTISTA LA HISTORIA DE LA RAZA HUMANA HASTA HOY ... EL QUE SEPA DE ALGUIEN MEJOR QUE INDIQUE SU OBRA ..... AQUI SPERAMOS .. GRACIAS ... IMPACIENTES

  • Not saying he's the best.... but what about Govan?

  • @tastybacon16 rip steve vai.

  • Better.? who else has won the best guitarist in the world many times in row. so many times in fact they once told him he couldnt win Anymore.... steve vai is the best by far.

  • Rescue me or bury me !

  • I also like Synyster Gates :D

  • This title could easily be given to any Steve Vai song.

  • sexy pic lol

  • @MrWurmo, your comment was also about all the other comments. Just sayin. lol

  • I hate it when all the comments are reactions to another comment...

  • Are you kidding me - no live video? Suck!

  • If you like Steve Vai more than Satriani or others, it's probably your likes, because it's almost impossible to know who "is better", because they are in a level which we mortals can't rate them...

    Sorry my bad english xD

  • @vodkashot8 ehhh some are better than each other- but the top 100 or so could all be put in one group

  • u all just type Norzamri Lagenda..the malaysia guitarist legend for now

  • @vodkashot8 Wrong. A "better" guitarist may not. However, more technical, or fast, surely ...

    Sorry for my bad english.

  • @JakaManchaVerde If you wanna compare Satriani and Vai by who is "better", you have to define "better" better because better can mean better as in he is a better soloist, or better as in he writes better music. In my opinion Steve Vai is way better technique wise. And Malmsteen shits on all technique/shredding wise, Vai is a tapping God, Satriani is an improvisation God, and Petrucci is the God of everything guitarwise

  • I agree with Gitan Pwnz....I've seen Steve at his worst, when he played with Joe at the Hollywood Bowl, and got so nervous he feel on his ass, and that incredible performance doing I'm The Hell Outta Here at the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2004.....Steve can be the best and but also has faults....he is human ....,

  • @vodkashot8 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • just...steve vai..

  • @vodkashot8 so true,

  • His skills with the guitar are impressive. On the other hand, Vai sucks as a musician.

    I'd rather be a good musician and a terrible guitar player than a great guitar player and a terrible musician.

  • @deviantan021 you have to be kidding, he's one of the most talented musicians ever!

    You don't enjoy listening to his style of playing, fine, but that doesn't affect his musicianship.

  • @Heroeshere Hey brother I think I know what mr deviantan021 means. Check this out. It's about a really AWESOME musician! youtube.com/watch?v=hWvp9Cd6HU­o&feature=related

  • @deviantan021 I know EXACTLY what you mean. Here it is, not in words but in thunderbolt notes: youtube.com/watch?v=hWvp9Cd6HU­o&feature=related

  • @deviantan021 Omg ... you just don't know Steve Vai for saying that !

  • @deviantan021 I'll bet you couldn't get into Berklee

  • @vodkashot8

    Wow that's awesome.

  • @vodkashot8 Pretty much true to some point, but still, hehe me and steve, I'm obviusly better! ;)

  • jimi hendrix....

    hve you ever goten realy high to a guitar song?

    i mean REALY high?

    i have in it was expensive, costed me my guitar, but that was the most awesome moment in my life.

  • @vodkashot8 youre absolutely correct. i'm every bit as good as vai... NOT :)

  • It just sounds like he is fucking about. Having said that he still makes everyone on here look stupid even when he is just fucking about.

  • @vodkashot8

    So your saying that Justin Beiber doesn't suck....he just have a different way of playing guitar?

  • @vodkashot8 not true. An expert is always better than a beginner.

  • @vodkashot8

    unless theyr called page hendrix or clapton lol

  • I like the Vai exerpt...  What the hell is this guy talking about his (below) 'balls' ?

  • OMG!

    is playing with the balls!!!!

  • @coslip

    la re..!Shit man

    how do you know?

  • @ClaussXeroS

    Just I can feel it in my balls

  • CHUPAME LA CONCHA

  • sounds like a real fuckin old computer game!!! fuckin shit no feeling to it just fast finger tapping crap

  • Sweet! Reminds me of the AOL dial-up ...connecting... dial tone!

  • @vodkashot8 Except when they are SHIT like in Megadeth XD

  • @ColeRegnum ...

  • No some guitaris suck really bad. Therefore, other guitarists are "better". They can be bad in a lot of different ways, but there are certain things held objectively as good, which any good guitarist has and bad guitarists lack.

  • @vodkashot8 I agree. Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen are not better than Slipknot's guitarist James "4" Root or Slayer's Kerry King. Just different. What a completely stupid fucking statement.

  • This solo is from the song rescue me or bury me from the sex and religion album... My very first Steve Vai song I ever heard completely when I bought his cd.

  • @vodkashot8 No, Steve Vai is better than me.

  • @vodkashot8 It maybe better compared by speed, by complexity of music, by cleanness, by the amount of soul it brings to song and many other factors. If your statment would be true everyone would be a guitarists, just different.

  • does this even sound good?

  • Pretty good, but definatly not his best.

  • sex and religion?

    

  • @mmaximiliano22 GOD obviously...

  • gitarrpwnz your right but we all know thats probably not his best and he defenetly can do better

  • @vodkashot8 true, Steve Vai is not better than me, he's just different XD

  • @jessymathault yea, his skill is on a DIFFERENT level than yours :)

  • @jessymathault no, pretty sure he's better.

  • @Sage80 Nobody gets sarcasm these days -_-

  • @jessymathault sarcasm doesn't come across in writing. =(

  • @jessymathault sarcasm doesn't come across in writing. =(

  • Steve blows dick

  • @mrkittyblood so does your mother and she isnt very good at that but we dont complain. =)

  • @vodkashot8 bullshit, there are many bad guitarists all around the world.

  • @Smartchell he means in regards to the good ones

  • @vodkashot8 thats not ture, you must give credit to were its due, but the due is different from person to person. thats what you have to look for and ask why as a guitar player. So i think ha

  • omnomnomn yummy guitar. hahaha no, but awesome solo

  • Просмотров: 66665. Неслабая цифра. Мой — следующий.

  • This solo was alright. Very smooth but it could've used a little more diversity. I realize people will hate me for saying that but Vai can do better.

  • @GitarrPwnz Where was the performance recorded? Was this live...someone steal a practice session ? Or can we get the whole tune on a CD somewheres?

  • @GitarrPwnz Love the way you expected hate, but instead got 27 thumbs up!

    

  • @GitarrPwnz Love the way you expected hate, but instead got 27 thumbs up! And I totally agree.

  • @GitarrPwnz This is just a little part of the solo. It has more diversity.

  • @GitarrPwnz I would like to see you do better

  • @d42292 I would like to see Vai do better. Usually he does, and apparently about a hundred people agree with me.

  • @GitarrPwnz Well 100 people think its easy to play guitar

  • @d42292 No, they just agree that this segment wasn't the best solo ever like the video implied. No reason to be so cynical when people are honestly reading the title and seeing that Vai has done and will do, better than this guitar solo. Good job by Steve Vai here. Best solo ever? Not buying it.

  • @GitarrPwnz Well no reason for you to grab your cock im making my statement i would like to see you and the 95 people that agree play it not every one can pick up the guitar and play like steve hendrix or joe

  • @d42292 Why are you so worked up? I can't play like Steve Vai. Big whoop most people can't. It doesn't mean that I can't tell the difference between the "best solo ever" and this solo, when this isn't even Steve Vai's best.

  • @GitarrPwnz Im not worked up why are you so worked up i doubt any one can tell a solo is a solo my point most people can not do it you and the other 95 people

  • @d42292 Dude... calm down, take a deep breath. It's just not his best work and at the time I didn't know it was only a clip of a longer solo. This sound bite is not that great considering other things he's done. I feel like I can play guitar fairly well and have enough of an ear for music to be able to tell that this sound bite isn't Steve Vai's best solo ever, let alone THE best solo ever. I'm allowed to have an opinion, and clearly you're very upset, although I don't know why.

  • @GitarrPwnz Im not getting upset i am making a good point and your trying to turn it around saying i am getting mad when you are clearly your very cocky my point is you and 95 other people can not play like him

  • @d42292 You're obviously very upset. I said that there's no reason for you to be cynical which is a valid point and you told me there was no reason for me to "grab my cock" as you so elegantly put it. I don't know what your deal is, I'm not trying to turn around what you said. Like I said, I can't play like Steve Vai. What does that have to do with this not being his best solo or the best solo ever for that matter?

  • @GitarrPwnz Your obviously very upset because you can not play as him what does all your phrases have to do with my point you and 95 other people cant play like him

  • @GitarrPwnz So there is no reason for you to grab your cock and get so upset when you keep saying i am getting upset

  • @d42292 Well there is no reason arguing with you. You clearly have no idea what you're even saying anymore. You commented thinking you were so smart and high and mighty but you're just a tool and you should go away. By the way, at least I had the balls to post my own video of myself playing guitar. You don't. Me > You

  • @GitarrPwnz Ok you have no idea what your saying were not even arguing you fucking idiot you state what you think and i state what i think its called opinions dumb ass your the tool if you ask me and i do not give a fuck if you post a video of you playing the guitar clearly you do not know what your saying like i said your very cocky and you and other 95 people can not play the guitar like steve vai not to mention what does you playing the guitar have anything to do with steve vai ?

  • @GitarrPwnz And i do not need to put my self playing the guitar on youtube just so you can see what i look like ? well i can tell you i am 6ft 150 and have a shaved head is there anything else you would like to know about me ? or is that enough i bet you look at my profile just so you can think of something to say i have not looked at your profile once because i do not give a fuck

  • @d42292 You're only 150 lbs.? Lol so what just because I don't like this video clip you think you're going to intimidate me? You sound based on your description like you're still in high school and based on your opinions of who the best guitar players are (Hendrix Vai Satch) that you don't really know a lot about modern guitar. To inform you, I'm your height, plus a lot of muscle mass, and can probably kick higher than the top of your head. You wouldn't touch anything but my shin to your face.

  • @GitarrPwnz Well Your intimidating me right now based on the way you sound it sounds alot like your trying to be cool and i am in college right now and based on you sounds like you do not know music real music i know about more modern guitarist than you ill bet my life on that it sounds like you listen to tons of modern music and i have herd more of it than you and a good amount of it is shit and i do not give a fuck if your my height and more muscle mass i could care less because you would not

  • @d42292 As for the college thing, the fact that everything you write is one annoyingly long run-on sentence says that you should really pay more attention in class. By the way, when someone has an opinion of something, it's really childish to attack them instead of making any type of case for your own opinion. Go crank up your Slipknot album and tell yourself it makes you fight better. LOL what a loser.

  • @GitarrPwnz All your doing is putting run on long sentences mainly when you write longer sentences shows that your smarter than the other person that writes a few and acts like he is in junior high saying your gonna kick in my face you think your so smart and cool saying that but really your not and i respected your opinion i said you and 95 other people could not play like steve vai and you went off on me when you say i was getting mad at you and i was not

  • @GitarrPwnz When you were getting pissed at me SlipKnot is not all i listen to Slayer Venom Iron Maiden Jimi Hendrix And many more same with jazz beethoven mozart and old gangster rapp all real good music unlike you listening to shit mainstream music that sucks fat cock If you saying that me blasting slipknot makes me fight better what ever makes you feel better about your self than turn in on me when your the one who is acting like a child slipknot is pretty damn good live compared

  • @d42292 I don't listen to any mainstream music other than maybe Alter Bridge on occasion. You really have no idea what you're saying, especially calling me out for liking crap like Green Day, rap, and Blink 182, when really that's what Necrophagist, All Shall Perish, Meshuggah, Impending Doom, In the Midst of Lions, and Smashface all make those little homos Slipnkot look like. I listen to real metal, Slipknot is the mainstream garbage. And no, run-on sentences don't make anyone look smart.

  • @GitarrPwnz And you said 100

  • @GitarrPwnz To green day blink182 a7x and what ever all the other gay fake metal punk you listen to i speak the truth you do not you speak shit

  • @GitarrPwnz Just like you would not do shit to me if you seen me you could not kick in anything if you tried

  • @d42292 Side note: Underestimating that someone could kick you in the face shows you've never fought anyone worth fighting. You're probably some dumb redneck who thinks boxing is the only way to fight.

  • @GitarrPwnz Makes tons of sense since i live in the city and you said in your own words you were gonna kick me in the face and you wont do shit i said your a dumb ass

  • @d42292 LOL your sentences don't even make sense. I understand what you're saying, but it's like you have no point. Get your panties out of that huge bundle they're in, and just let it go. P.S. this conversation is the only way you'd ever put me to sleep. ZzZzZzZzZZzZzZ you're stupid and boring. Bye bye.

  • @GitarrPwnz I bet since your gonna reply to me again i am making sense your just trying to be all cool saying your gonna kick me in my face my point is you and 95 other people can not play like steve vai thats my point dumb ass are you cross eyed that you can not read

  • @GitarrPwnz I bet your the kind of person who likes blink 182 A7x GreenDay Disturbed Because if you do you have no idea what you are talking about its all shit

  • @d42292 Wow. You only weigh 150 lbs. you're not intimidating to anyone. And no I don't listen to that kind of music. The fact that I'm commenting on a Steve Vai video should tell you that. You are really acting stupid right now and again, I really don't know why. This isn't Vai's best solo or the best solo ever, and you listen to Slipknot for crying out loud. They're terrible! They're a joke in the face of contemporary metal. The whole fight thing, it's never going to happen. You'd lose anyway.

  • @GitarrPwnz You and 95 other people when you said 100 its 95 can not play like steve vai

  • @d42292 I said about 100. About is the qualifier. College? Lot of good it does you. You probably can't sing like the guys from those bands you mentioned but you still think they suck. Shows your fantastic logic at work right there.

  • @GitarrPwnz I never said anything about singing its all fake metal a7x is shit venom slayer dark angel is better shit there is many more show you logic work you like shit music

  • @GitarrPwnz Do shit 

  • No.

  • from rescue me or bury me?

  • Sounds good to me. Not surprising really, Vai is god.

  • @DurtyHarrys Wow.. jealous much?

  • rescue me or bury me

  • @vodkashot8

    well I think that theory only applies to the elite guitarists that. for example, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani...Etc These people are professional guitarists. Much more advanced then say...Kirk Hammet or Paul Stanley

  • why you talk about Kirk? he never claimd him self been BEST,and ofc he playing in Metallica,so wht you want from him,he cant just push on som heavy shit solo like Vai,Kirk playin in band,in band you have rotation,and gues what,Kirk is doing it very well

  • Yeah ill give you that, Kirk and Paul are not good examples because they are in a lyrical band where there is structure to the songs. However, just because they are in a band playing songs, doesn't mean these songs cant be very complicated. "Dragonforce" "Children of Bodom" "Pantara" Just because songs have structure doesn't mean they cannot be a demonstration of great complexity.

  • Also, I never mentioned that they needed to be playing heavy shit did I? Im talking about their technique and the wholeness of their sound. How well they play live etc...

  • Very true. Thumbs up ;)

  • @vodkashot8 well, i agree with you

  • Joe Satriani is a better melody man than Vai I think fo rthe common Fan. You have to truely be in music to appreciate Vai. Satriani can be played to an audience better. Vai is better technical wise by a half step than Satch. I consider Satch more of a halfshredder/amazing songwriter and Vai a Freak/good songwriter.

  • 110% agree ,, Satch i can listen to for his amazing songs ,, i can feel or picture his music and the meaning behind it although steve vai may be as you say half a step up on the technical ability

  • How does one judge half a step better technical ability than another? Steve Vai is extremely talented but Satch knows exactly how to make sounds people like to hear. I bet Satch could play anything Vai has played, and vice versa. I agree but I don't think either is half a step better than the other.

  • You make a good point in that there is no better here. However, there is also no equality. They noted before, on a G3 interview, that every guitarist is uniquely his own player. This goes more than anything for such developed players as Vai and Satch, and I must disagree that they can play each others things. They might technically be able to learn each other's songs, but they will never be the same or equal. And that's exactly the way it should be.

  • @BillsOfSteel beautifully said my friend.

  • Vai has the unfair advantage of having fingers longer than ET's... But yes, I think he is better than Satriani...

    As for buckethead, I think he is vastly underrated on account of the fact that he hides his name and few people can take anyone called "Buckethead" seriously...

  • Buckethead makes all of them look slow hand. Timmons is better than satriani and vai at their own game, as well as less stylistically limited.

  • You guys are so fucking stupid. I can't believe one would ever take the time to say that one guitarist better than the other XD So pointless :] You got here to listen to the so called Best Solo by Steve Vai... although I am bound to disagree that it is the best of his. Stop dissing Buckethead and Petrucci, they are both skilled players. So is Hammet, even though I doubt Hammet can play anywhere as fast as the other two.

  • Because playing fast means you're good, right?

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't say that playing fast doesn't mean you're good or bad, I just wanted to show the bias that the human being has. So many people trash guitarists because of their play speed.

  • Mhm, That is true. I usually don't really get engaged in those "debates". Nothing productive ever seems to result from those >.>

  • Are you trying to say that playing fast is not a matter of skill? There is a vast difference between being skilled and playing good songs. Every guitarist appeals to a certain crowd so I would say: How dare you say they're bad?

  • you guys are totally foregetting the musicianship and the actually talented ability it takes to even imagine playing like that... flight of the bumble bee has nothing on this guy... and buckethead learned from steve....

    you need to rest your neck bro and give the guy the respect that he has earned in the music industry.

    He lessons (rear) video will show you he is and dose work at creating and writing his own music, from the drums to the solos.  check that on out and see if you don't agree.

  • man you people just because its very fast doesnt mean its the best

  • crappy

  • booooooooring x(

  • ur a fucking faggot

  • @Dimebag420xxx i love dimebag to dude but Via is pretty good

  • @dimebag420xxx your mom is a faggot

  • Steve Vai is an incredible guitar player and an altogether terrible songwriter.

  • man my fav solo better than buckethead

  • USERNAMEKLEMPTOR Steve Vai is way better than Buckethead. Why are you comparing Buckethead to Steve Vai???? There is no comparison, Vai owns guitarists like Buckethead.

  • wow how does someone say Steve Vai is kinda boring?

  • petrucci has no creativity and is a cunt

  • And you are a little homosexual person who should'nt have anything with somthing that's about guitar...

    Don't talk about stuff you don't know anything about!

  • You have the grammar of a fucking retard. You shouldnt try to interact with the outside world you stupid little faggot.

  • And You shouldnt try to interact with the music world you stupid little faggot.

  • true dat

  • dream on :))))

  • LMAO -- Hammet --- ah not even on the radar man, but I get your point.

  • Steve vai incorporates all of the guitars possible technical features in his very creative style. Thats why Steve is argueably one of the most influential guitarists out there. Bravo.

  • PPL LISTEN there is no "BEST" overall guitarist, just preference, steve vai is the best at technical stuff and probably up there for emotion, slash is good at "wowing" the crowd, with wahs and stuff, and joe satriani is good at putting soul into fast moving music, van halen is good at improv and whammy/harmonics and staying in tune, and tapping he is amazing at, eric johnson is good at scales and has amazing tone, etc etc etc it goes on forever

  • omfg how much does this guy practice... hes awesome... i only play 1 hour a day

    lol

  • Is he dead?? cause there are some rumors running out that he died.. :'(

  • who's the master of steve vai then guys? hmmmm... i guess his name is JOE SATRIANI...

  • This is a joke, right?

  • CARLOS SANTANA IS THE NUTS

  • this dudes up there with halen easily who;s better him or satriani

  • This man is easily better than Satriani. He may not have the wild energy of Halen, but he's definitely one of the best technical guitarists out there by far.

  • You do know that Joe Satriani was his guitar teacher right?

  • Yep. Joe is the man.

  • Well, we have the widely known saying "The pupil has outgrown his master.". I've never heard Joe Satriani, but I am saying it's very possible that Vai is eventually better than him.

  • One of the best players alive.period. He is so dynamic he can play anything he wants and make everything sound awesome.
