Have you ever seen steve vai and david copperfield in the same room?, 2 master magicians?,.. More that a passing resemblance! Hehe
He sure as hell DID sell his soul!!.. you cant reach that level of technical ability AND have a life, Have you seen the guys practice routine?.. Dont know where he finds the time to eat!
@willminor1 You're right, Hendrix is probably the reason of all guitar solos, so, I say... Hey Joe is the song with the most beautiful guitar I've listen... tender surrender is one of my favorite songs :D
This more similar to "Little Wing"'s Hendrix. Is obvious that he's inspirated in this masterpiece ... and not only in the music , the way of playing too: gesticulating . This is a Hendrix tribute, the wha-wha is not usually in Vai pedals...
I cant believe some of you actually think hes really playing this in this video. Dont get me wrong steve vai is fucking great but come on are yous retarded.
I mean that he looks gay while playing. It takes nothing away from his skill, obviously, but I dislike the look. I'm not concerned if he's been married for most of his life, even, it doesn't change the way a person acts. The closest thing I can use to describe the feminine movements is a homosexual. Convenience, if nothing else. Don't defend him. He isn't being attacked.
But why is the closest description to feminine a homosexual? Why not someone is actually feminine....like a girl. I imagine Lady Gaga playing guitar now when I see Steve! lol
to steve vai the guitar has no limits, he doesnt struggle to perform anything, he is the has dominated the instrument is such a degree that right now he is just creating new stuff
dude he plays so easily cuz he only uses 7 guage strings...i use 10's i can play just as easy. im not even close to as good but anyone can do that if you use 7's...
Its called the ultimate Ego struggle Ego has a voracious appetite and is never satisfied with what it gets because it is not its nature to be satisfied. Its recognition comes at the expense of others because it seeks to be better than (or even worse than) - anything to stand out.

He's teaching a class in Sydney in October. I'll be there. I hope he will teach us how to comb during our solos (cf. 2:59)
