Steve VAI Alien Guitar - DUAL # 1

[NickolozMcCool]

i would run the fuck away :D

[jib36]

ahh i like the other dude... hes got some tasty blues licks, Vai is great but over plays imho, other dude has taste..

[KingOfShadows1500]

this guy's tone sounds like shit compared to the one vai gets

[vi70h12]

shows you it really is all in the fingers

[Stevin13]

unfair duel, Steve's Master build Jem is 10 times better than everything other...

[Stevin13]

In my opinion Steve is the best guitarist, but he is more than a guitarist, he is such a nice kind of human, although he plays like an alien Steve Vai for President !

[aphexlane]

this is not even comparable. duh the other guy is not even close...

[beefcake0354]

did you mean "duel"? ... BTW, thanks for posting, I enjoy it very much :)

[faithandpractice]

Come one people. Do you really think this was a "dual"? It was just a couple guys jamming and having fun playing music. If it was a dual than I'm sure that both guys would have played something a lot more demanding than just standard licks that any basement guitarist could pull off. Just a lot of fun. That's all.

[KitchenMarshall]

@faithandpractice It was a duel. with dual guitars.

[faithandpractice]

@KitchenMarshall Nope.

[Metallimeister]

And I know you're just doing this to wind me up so I'm not taking this too seriously. You clearly have as much free time as I do

[Metallimeister]

@MegaDehumanizer Sort of like the duel we're having right now

[Metallimeister]

@MegaDehumanizer Make a grammatically sensible sentence using the work dual in this context.

The word duel doesn't have to mean a fight to the death. It can just be a contest between two people trying to prove a point. Like a duel of wits

[Metallimeister]

@MegaDehumanizer Dual just means two things or people. You can't use the word dual in a sensible way in this context of two guys playing guitar against each other.

Duel, is the word that suits this guitar battle/compettition. It doesn't have to be deadly fight. Look up more definitions for duel.

[Metallimeister]

It's Duel, not dual

[SanctuaryShred]

@AcceptNoBullshit Your point is utter bullshit, and seeing your name just makes it that much more ironic.

[SanctuaryShred]

@AcceptNoBullshit And your point is?

[dogman4227]

@doeboyfresh863 LMAO

[JulianManzara]

Steve Vai and Shia Labeouf live for the first time!!!!!!

[PlataniumIdiot]

the other guy held his ground

[DavidL1432]

I'd love this backtrack

[tritjay]

Awesome! I just won a competition to Jam with Steve Vai in Melbourne Australia. Can't wait! How intimidating ;)

[mahajohn]

@tritjay Break a leg dude! Keep it all harmonic minor and whole tones and it will be the coolest musical event of your life!

[shredicon86]

Dual and Duel are two different things.

[taproot7]

Was just at his master class. Vai has to be one of the nicest guys out there on top of everything else.

[jeanounou]

Amen to that! The man's got it all; I mean, he's a great player, but he also has an incredible creativity, coming up with original ideas, like turning his young children's mumbling into a song (Ya-yo Gakk), or presenting his Gemini pedal with "a special friend of his", he's not out to show off, but has respect for other players, and on top of that, he has a great sense of humour! For me Steve Vai is the portrait of a perfect instrumentist!

[ultraudv]

1:07 bows before steve :)

[EskimoJOE55]

Its kinda faint, but you can see Vai say, "You're pretty good." @ 0:51 I would shit my pants if Steve said THAT to me.

[theweirdphone]

Steve has his pedals and everything as the other people who play only have an amp to go through :P Steve is an absolutely amazing guitarist though haha

[ylcn77ylcn]

Hi I wish you success

[doeboyfresh863]

the guy should have pulled the solo from crossroads! everyone knows steve can't play it!!!!

[markadiculous]

@doeboyfresh863 lol good one!



[VaiRendy]

@doeboyfresh863 hahahaha... steve played that crossroad movie solo.. the kid is just actor..

[MatheusAdrian]

@doeboyfresh863 LOL :D

[angeldanny87]

@doeboyfresh863 Ehm. Didn't Steve actually record both guitar parts from Crossroads?! :D

[MClancer18]

@angeldanny87 no steve plays his part and they have another guy play the kids part

[angeldanny87]

@MClancer18 Sorry but Eugene's Trick Bag was written and performed by Steve Vai.

[pmacFTO]

@angeldanny87 Ry Cooder played the slide stuff - Vai did Eugene's :p

[angeldanny87]

@pmacFTO Well yes, generally we all mean Eugene's Trick Bag when speaking of the Crossroads duel! ;)

[Pablitoeklevia]

que vergonha esse cara passou por tocar com steve vai

[Corruptedxxx]

i think it would be better with some more distiortion for that guy :)

[caljeson]

sounds like bird shit!!!

[EranProductions]

Frank Zappa taught VAI everything he knows about guitar.. he was like his child

R.I.P. Frank Zappa

[TarariraHero]

@EranProductions Man... Vai has a classical and jazz music degree...

[MrKittles1123]

Steve is such an awesome guy. :D Man though I'd be nervous as hell improvising in front of him! This guy does a pretty darn good job, and I love his style, but wow this type of thing kind of puts into context how advanced Steve really is as a player. Is he even capable of mistakes or tastelessness? lol

[skylinrg]

awesome :P

[stevevaiisnumber1]

Hey people, which name of this backing track that steve vai uses? somebody tells me? cheers!

[Callaham07]

@stevevaiisnumber1  THE ANIMAL

[stevevaiisnumber1]

@Callaham07 Thanks man!

[NITROKILLERFULL]

steve vai is better

[SanctuaryShred]

This just reassures me how good Steve really is. This guy clearly isn't bad but when Steve plays he blows him off the stage...

[mahajohn]

@SanctuaryShred You needed reassuring? Does your emotional state hinge upon your assessment of Steve Vai's technical and musical capabilities? Ha ha! Personally, I know that my life is worth living as long as David Gilmour hasn't forgotten the pentatonic scale.

[SanctuaryShred]

@mahajohn I didn't ask what you think, nor do I care. But to answer your question: "My statement was intended to portray the "Vai" effect. After watching Steve play for long enough you begin to be desensitized to the amazing spectacle that you are seeing. Watching another person play simply reminds you how far ahead Steve is."

[PlanetHellDj]

@SanctuaryShred a carefully crafted tone also helps. not to take anything away from steve, he's a master of tone too :D

[fallingtogracemusic]

i was just waiting for them to kiss the whole time

[vikfox8]

and as many players saying like steve vai the great tone its in your fingers...

[j3emt]

They look like they are having fun......cool

[selvinstrat]

quiten al de la derecha, es una pena q este con steve vai

[rafauleciaelcarpio]

this the animal backing track, isn't it?

[RGplayer01]

@rafauleciaelcarpio Yes it is ;)

[wakomaniac45]

that just proves with similar equipment that you cannot sound like steve vai

only time and diligence spent on the guitar will allow you to transcend to that sort of level

[RockDisciplineG3]

that guy play more like joe satriani that play with steve vai

[Guitareben]

It is a dream of mine to play with Vai!

[KingOfShadows1500]

who is this guy and why is he playeing with steve? :P

[YdnarFett]

I would love to hang with Steve.

[maiajazz]

Steve is a gentleman!

[GitarenEnBananen]

I really cant understand how steve vai could get SO FUCKING GOOD

[toliveevil]

lol he always sounds that step in front :L

[JTD7000]

@GitarenEnBananen - it's because Steve Vai is God, pretending to be human.

[Jed9133]

thats good hes going easy on jamming with others..

[underdog4000]

Jack Butler lives

[OpT1mU5PrYm3]

You played a hell of a lot better than numbers 2 and 3. Good job mate.

[NewFoundOfPower]

Lol good job

[KtZA7]

BRAVO!I don't know you!But I'm proud of you!!!

[LuteroReforma]

Man, you perfoms a really great job with the master Vai...congrats my friend
