  • 0:13 orgasm face

  • I only just discovered steve vai, this is the first video of his i have watched and i have already realised HE IS THE BEST GUITARIST EVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • Has Steve ever mentioned if For the Love of God was inspired by the 1970's Tv show called Kung Fu with David Caradine...?  That opening melody of the Tv show where Caradine is walking in the desert. FTLoG reminds me a lot of that great show. Thanks.

  • please wear that shit when you're old as dirt Steve Vai. your giddup is legendary.

  • I've just came !

  • i have this dvd and its fucking awsome

  • Is he playing through a Fender?

  • @FreakShowExcess10 Nope, that's not a Strat - Vai plays on an Ibanez Jem-555.

  • @hafrox Nah, it's an Ibanez Jem7v :P the 555 is the cheaper model.

  • @morphicwraith Whoops, thanks for correcting me - wasn't quite sure about the model. What's the difference between Jem-555 and Jem7v? Only the pickups and the bridge?

  • @FreakShowExcess10 Fender amp yes. That his "clean" amp, his legacy's are his distortion amps

  • Awesome !!!!!

  • add--->prefeared

    

  • i like

  • i bet the carvins are off and thats all fender.

  • Steve is the best!!!

  • Hate the tone, but the phrasing is perfect!

  • The best 29 seconds i spend great

  • Great.. :)

  • Steve man your a GOOD Guitar player

  • how is that lick called on 0:04 - 0:09

  • @DutchNewbJr Legato. Only pick the first note in the string and then use a combination of hammer ons (or pull offs, OR sometimes both) for only that string; and  use the pick everytime just when going onto a new string.

  • how is that lick called on 0.04 - 0:09

  • @DutchNewbJr thats seems to be a legato, (play 3 or 4 notes or even more with only 1 pick per string) a technique that is used alot by joe satriani.

  • You RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • more!! i neeed more!!

  • the gr8 one wish he would do a masterclass in INDIA

  • strip tease?

  • I really don't care too much for Steve's style but his technicality is amazing... It seems Tender Surrender and For the Love of God are the only songs of his that are musically appealing to my ear.. his other stuff is just ..well..weird and not really soothing to listen to.. but what I'd do to have skills like this !!!!

  • vai sucks

  • Steve i've used about 3 notes in my 170 or so songs...you can have the remaining notes...i don't know what to do with them,,,you rock dude.... God bless

  • Evo + HD=sex

    hi

    we have medicine and technology it allow the defective and sicly to live much longer and prolonge their their natural death or life expectancy

  • You play so melodically, not just a bunch of shred. Sometimes when I hear your guitar, it almost makes me want to cry. I hate to admit it, but I recently started listening to your music.  The company I was working for closed down, so I had a lot of time on my hands. I started playing again, writing and recording. Now that I am working again, I am not going to give up guitar like I did when I went off to college. Thank you for your beautiful music! Gotta say, you have a lot of class too!

  • damn Steve is getting to the perfect tone

  • Awesome

    

  • wtf 2 days ago was his birthday?

  • Greetings from Russia, Mr. Vai. Hope your birthday brings you all the best, you could wish for. The only thing I could wish to u - steel health. Everything else would be included. And since laugh is known for life prolongation, 'wish laugh and no cheerfulness bluff!!!'

  • Happy Birthday to Steve Vai!!!!!

  • Happy Birthday Steve,hope the next year is full of all the things you wish for.Peace love and good happiness stuff :)

  • Happy Birthday Steve!!! Hope for many, many, many, many, many, many, many, more, year of brilliant music

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!! :D

  • I think steve vai dominated every styles of a guitar

  • can i have ur guitar please.....

  • Hi!

    Anyone, please!

    I reckon Steve Vai must be using a great deal of distortion in his playing, but you never hear any unwanted noises out of the amp.

    When I try tapping, the strings that are not involved always tend to generate unwanted noise that reverberates in the amp, and it's so...irritating!

    How does one avoid this, I mean, is it only a matter of good muting technique, or is there any devices that can help with this type of problems? Any hints please? I appreciate. Thank you.

  • @jeanounou sorry for my bad english, yes there are many noise supresors, but they only help with what buzz is refered to, but getting a clean playing style have so many thricks involved, the big secrets for this clean playing are, 1 ur thumb, the hand u use in the freet board have to take care of the thicker strings, and 2, the palm of ur hand u use for picking or whatever, should mute every string ur not playing, so yes, is hard, cause u might mute a string ur playing

  • Is it just me or does Steve Vai's hair blow back wherever he goes?!

    Mcdonalds, Best Buy, The liquor store, you name it, he's got a hydraulic fan near it.

  • @killingblow528

    hahahaha great you mention that fact with the hair!

    "it's the most important gear in his set up ..... his FAN!"

    "it keeps him cool. not just cool temperature wise but it makes him look cool"

    "you know: Vai is a poser from way back" ;)

    watch /watch?v=b58Xil8RfRY&NR=1&feat­ure=fvwp @ 5:30

  • I grew up listening to this stuff and yes I still have a soft spot for it...Sometimes life just takes us on a turn musically and I decided to embrace it...

  • GREATTTT!!!!!

    

  • I like this more than in the studio version

  • Fran Soler "Revelation"

  • ~ like this short nice momentum

  • steve o melhor de todos,toco inspirado em vc,seus solos sao dimais.Tambem gosto da yasi,acho que ela tem muito talento mas vc e o melhor

  • sin palabras

    

  • love it awsome super cool the best

  • he talks with his guitar

  • Please Steve.... We want you here in Mexico!

  • Steve Vai is not good enough. Bad composer. The old albums were better than nowadays ones. And guys, check my new feature at my channel !

  • Funny if a fly went in his mouth when he opens it xD

  • God takes guitar lessons from Steve Vai. Jesus has everything that Steve Vai's ever released. Buddha has a Steve Vai signed Ibanez Gem. Shiva once had a beer with Steve Vai. The Devil and Steve Vai once split a plate of nachos at the bowling alley. And Xerxes bows down to Steve Vai.

  • Last night, I thought after finishing my to do list, there's got to be a good reason to continue being a strugling artist. When I see Steve play it not only makes sense to continue, but it helps me keep my vision of creating my own version of Prog. I use Art rock, so Art, or Prog. (progresive) of course because we all know what direction we'd like the music to go. It's more than just music, it's an Adventure waiting to lived in the chemistry of our minds, hearts and souls.

  • Excellent !! my friend. Thumbs up of course. G.

  • Wow there is a fresh wind blowing though my heart! Thanks Steve.

    Peace

  • Steve, stop it! My hormones can't take all this musical magic!

  • Steve outplays me with one sleeve rolled up.

  • What the HELL Steve you cut out the mega bend! I feel that shit to the core man.

  • Steve Vai Rocks!

  • Keep your mouth closed its annoying!

  • i dont like his tone that much anymore. it sounds great in the recording though.

  • Hey Steve, you have awesome hair

  • Hes a bad ass. Just watch how he changes his selector switch during the vid. Nucking Futs!

  • Guitar's sounds tear apart the silver strings of my tender soul...

  • so so glad i got this dvd, there is something special about Steve, hope i am not in love though, well... unless a "brother love" type haha ;>

  • Steve you are a great guitarist and a man, take with you an example! with respect to Ukraine, Igor Shandalin!

  • Awesome !!

    Guitar's sounds tear apart the silver strings of my tender soul...

  • /watch?v=cbpFQ6XNnIM Watch here super guitar world worth being very good check

  • He's good but don't forget: Ralph Maccio kicked his ass.

  • @TheLonelySoul87 if you can't listen to music without singing you do not truly appreciate music

  • No Singing / No Good

  • @TheLonelySoul87

    No SInging = ALOT better than singing

  • @TheLonelySoul87 this is guitar instrumental music, if you dont like that kind of music then why are you watching the video?

  • @TheLonelySoul87 Singing Good / No Singing Good

  • Would you expect anything less from Vai? Nope. Pure master!

  • Aí Galera; sou fã desde 2004 quando conheci esse solo - eu tocava numa banda...

    detalhe da camisa do cara; onde eu acho uma dessa? se alguem souber me manda o contato!

  • I got the Dvd too, and trust me.. its a great dvd.

  • Steve Vai is a guitar setting horizon. No matter how much I practice and how close I think I am, I realize I can never get there. But, I'll keep following that sunset if only for the inspiration.

  • I HAVE THE DVD , STEVE VAI , YOU ARE THE BEST !

  • @sheboto14 same here

  • Steve Vai Rocks!!!!

    THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • changed my life!!

  • Excellent!!!!!

  • What is a difference between God and Steve Vai? :)Lol

  • @dmitrit81 It is that everyone loves vai :D

  • did you notice that his last 4 frets are scalloped but the rest arent. hes a musical genius

  • the faces he makes are priceless!

  • nice pants stevo..lol..?! =)~

  • Too much negativity down below. Just enjoy the song.

  • Hey Steve...luv your stuff, check out my vids and lemme know if you'd like some pointers on a 'quieter, more gentle approach to the guitar'...you're sounding about the same as you did 30 years ago when we all went 'down to the crossroads'

  • wow is very cool incredible

  • awesome

  • Hey come on guys, we're all part of the guitar brotherhood! Everyone has their own 'top three' or even 'top one' but Steve's forgot more stuff than I will ever be able to play. If there was a pill that could 'make you play as good as Vai' would anyone say 'no thanks'?

  • lol

  • Best of creativity

  • you know he was meant for the guitar when he gets orgasms from every single note he plays

  • WOW! the way he rolls off the tone knob for that smooth tone was just pro. If i was this good i would attend every talent show just to show off.

    Not only that but i would make my own pedal, use a fan onstage, have a badass guitar and play like a boss... oh wait

  • @XxsaintsblackxX Hahahahahahaha you're just lame dude! First, that's not the tone but the VOLUME KNOB... second, he's rolling UP to increase the volume, in other words, to make it LESS smooth you stupid... and third you say "if I was"... hahahaha that's the thing, IF YOU knew how to play the guitar you should know those Knob things from day one in the first place. Maybe you thought "I'm gonna impress everyone with some technical stuff" haha but you didn't, not to me, at least.. Dude you're LAME!

  • @mamuth2000 wtf is wrong with you. You actually cared about this comment so much that you felt the need to reply with two?Ii'm lame? you dont know me ... simple mistake douche. it doesn't sound "less smooth" (nice choice of words btw); it definitely sounds smooth. You must be tone deaf. I DO play guitar, I'm not this good, however, I like to think I'm pretty good. You're an internet thug. I can almost guarantee that you wouldn't say that to anybody in real life. You care WAY to much. done with u

  • @XxsaintsblackxX BTW maybe... well, not maybe... You're not this good, that's why you don't attend talent shows to show off.... But you know how to write, and you have a keyboard and an internet connection, so you come here and SHOW OFF! VOILÁ!.. Your dream CAME true! lmfao... Maybe next time you wanna think twice before say something silly just to SHOW OFF... Step your game up! I give you this, next time try something with the "Mixolydian" or "Aeolian" word on it... hahaha... dude you're funny!

  • Amazing!!!! :)

  • esse cara toca de mais quero tocar que nem ele

  • Beans to any naysayers.

    Steve Vai: The best. period.

    always was, always will be...

  • Masturbation.

  • Not enough oomph in that sound. Needs more punch like the other video. Still awesome though.

  • bless me master

    :)

  • truly great stuff ,till pull a song like this off live is just INCREDIBLE

  • Estas echo un maestro!! Un crack de pies a cabeza!!! Magnifico con la guitarra!!!

  • Please Steve, add me¡¡I´m a fan to you. I have various Lp of you music wonderfull¡¡

    I loved passion and warfare¡¡WONDERFULL¡¡You player guitar is awesome and very

    special and cosmic¡¡¡Thanks¡'¡¡

  • Please steve add me ¡¡¡Thanks¡¡¡. Carlos Sentinel

  • Is it me or does Steve Vai kinda look like Steve Nye (the science guy)... lol maybe they were separated at birth! they're both smart fellers.

  • I've been to a few of the G-3 tours.

    Vai's performance is relentless power and elegance.

  • I'm going to be extremely sad the day that Evo can't tour with him.

  • steve vai has been the greatest rock guitar player on this or any other planet for the last 20 years and more . . . . and always coming up with new stuff.... rock on steve . . belated happy 50th you dont look a day over 49.. well done

  • The guitar playing is great but listen to the bass lines...just beautiful and so very tasteful.

  • Circuit v panther is much faster than gilbert.

  • u can't "win" in music..it's all in the listeners head

  • Didn't Steve Vai teach Joe Satriani?

  • @ins0mniakds Correct me if I am wrong but Joe taught Steve.  I believe Steve knocked on Joe's door one day and it was a sight to be seen. He may of been Joe's first student, I'm not sure. Steve then went to Berkeley and then auditioned for Frank Zappa..the rest is history...the story would make a great movie

  • @ins0mniakds nah, they're more like colleague if anything.

  • @ins0mniakds No, joe taught Steve
