"You can shred up and down forever, but to actually make something speak, with articulation is a very different thing" - this is why I don't compare Vai to other technical mind boring shred guys. He has a soul like all the other great guitarists, Hendrix comes to mind

i had a dream last night where i dreamed that vai was my guitar teacher. i woke up and for three seconds i was sure he actually was my teacher. then i realized it was a dream.... damn..
3:54 It TAKES TIME to make the guitar speak. Geniuses like Vai are not only born. They work hard. I hope we all understand that and not give up at first time. Thanks Mr Vai, for keeping us motivated!!
Steve is a true guitar icon. I saw this very show when he toured the us in 07 at the pabst theater in milwaukee, still have stub too right next to pat methenys when he was also at the pabst in 08. Anyway, I met steve going to his tour rig with the band and got an autograph or course and had him also sign my stub. Incredible human being.
This guy is so good, so smart, so endlessly creative...much more than just a "shredder". Yngwie just plays classical scales. Vai is a composer in his own right.
@finndave youre right... scales is a word used by musicians who dont know thier shit yet.... us vaguely more advanced players refer to what they are getting at... as modes
@superdome65 That's bullshit. Sure, when one is referring to something like Locrian or Mixolydian, but I don't know anyone who goes out of their way to say Aeolian or Ionian instead of major or minor. Not to mention there's no mode enharmonic to natural or harmonic minor. You make it seem like anyone who uses the word "scale" is somehow an inferior musician. Really, it just makes you sound like a tool.
@GuardianOfFate12 oh yah? then when you play the notes a,b,c,d,e,f,g over an Am chord, you cant just say, the minor scale fucktard, you gotta say aeolian, because you can play a,b,c,d,e,f#,g, and it still be a minor scale.... when in fact its called the fucking dorian scale. aeolian and dorian are both minor scales... same if you played a,Bb,c,d,e,f,g....thats also a minor scale. THEY ALL HAVE FLAT THIRDS.... but this one is known as the phrygian. get what im sayin? or was that too complicated?
@superdome65 Ha...wow. Hey dumbass, do you know what scale the aeolian mode corresponds to? NATURAL MINOR. Natural. Let that sink in. Ok, now, the Dorian scale is defined as a natural minor scale with the sixth scale degree raised. Meaning that it is an ALTERATION of a natural minor scale. You must be a bedroom musician, because if you actually got out and played, you would know how ridiculous your initial statement was.
@GuardianOfFate12 then you would also know that the chord progressions for both aeolian and dorian differ because of the dominate 6th in dorian and b6 in aeolian... thus making both modes different .... i do get out and play.. .thats how i know fuckhead........ and its not called a raised 6th if its based off of the ionian progression .. its just dominate.. it doesnt change... its like saying for harmonic minor its a flat 3rd 6th and raised 7th.. no.. its dominate..
oh man that little lick at about 4:13 jogged my memory. it runs all through the famous guitar duel with Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin in "A Love Supreme". when i heard those two when that album came out i was forever hooked...still at 60.

Don't apologize. You ain't no real Texan if you like this fool. Billy Gibbons invented electricity, you ignorant ass. Vai is an acrobat, not a guitar player.
@newtuber1290 Like i give a fuck about being a "real Texan", I just hate feeling like I am lumped into any kind of relation or category with an ignorant fuck like yourself...

i honestly laughed at your comment, because it highlighted the idiocy of people who don't understand instruments "Get a strat and..." do you like country music? Im going to hazard a guess that you do whether im right or not. A strat, very original, we can tell you have absolutely no musical creativity by the fact you said that... Wait, we could tell that by what you said. ByeBye.
You're gonna "hazard"? WTF? Vai is a musical mumbler. He doesn't speak to you when he "plays". He yells and chatters. It's about communication, you ass. J. Christ, don't you get it man!!!!!!! Your boy.he ain't got no fell, you fool.
Like i said im not the biggest vai fan, but i appreciate skill. If his music doesn't speak to you thats your opinion, but that demonstration is all about phrasing - the melodic structure - thats where the real feel of a piece comes from, i'm no fool.
Tosin Abasi rapes steve vai and yngwie. He made one of the most innovative/progressive albums of the year with his band, Animals As Leaders, and he went on tour with fucking BORN OF OSIRIS.
i love how he reduces shredders like yngwie to nothing in 3 seconds, when he says its easy to go on with scales at 3:47, hahaha true professional, vai rocks
@Valtchanovv Yngwie has excellent phrasing, as would ANY good guitars whether they are a "shredder" or not. Phrasing is the only thing the separates a great guitarist from a mediocre one. Vai has his style, Yngwie has another. Vai is clearly a superior guitarists in terms of overall dexterity and probably has greater depth of musical knowledge, but that doesn't reduce Yngwie in any way, since Yngwie doesn't just play scales/arpeggios up and down.
@Valtchanovv Yah Vai rocks, love him but brother what makes you think he was talking about shredders like yngwie. Yngwie composes like they composed back in Baroque era and those were all scales. Above all great compositions. Vai is out of this world, totally different world. I can't compare these guitar gods. They all have their own thing going on. Its a blessing that we get to hear so many different types of great guitarists out there. But of course that was your opinion and the above was mine
Yngwies good years were a lot more clever and unique then people give him credit for. Nowadays he's putting out the same recycled garbage, but I doubt Vai could put out stuff like Yngwies good days. That said, I KNOW Yngwie could never do anything like Vai.
@Valtchanovv He is not aiming for Yngwie man...Vai respect Yngwie and the other way arround. I know Yngwie is very repetitve and I find him quite boring...but Vai is not reducing Yngwie.
he explaisn it simply haha heslike uhh it takes u forever to look at the fretboard and put every fuckin note in there when u wanna play every note on the guitar in a song like me
I guess i just thought you know, that there was drummer, a bassist all that recording ya know? is that how it is? or is it all just created in protools? ive never used pro tools before.
Well pro tools is actually a program that you use to record multi-track songs onto. So for instance he would've brought a drummer in, mic'd up his kit, and recorded him. Same with the bassist etc... Then after he would then record his guitar over it. Or he could've had the whole band play it all at once, but from what he was saying it looks like he was making loops with some of the audio files, so it seems like to me that a lot of it was recorded separately and pieced together in pro tools.
Oh i see, thank you for explaining, See i was surprised because i thought, the drum, bass, and other instruments on the vai songs were all fabricated through a computer program after seeing this video, but i see thats not the case, thanks again.
He ventured into this because the only album F.Zappa ever owned was Bulgarian album with choir music. And, as we know, Zappa was God. He said that was the only interesting music he ever heard. I am no Zappa but I think Hungarian Gypsy music is even better than Bulgarian stuff. Hungarians over all are phenomenal musicians with some fantastic bands, time signatures are something they eat for breakfast. Eastern European folk music is highly evolved and it inspired many great composers in a past.
playing ibanez jem 7v and jem 555 is a HUGE difference.
jem 555 is a jem with dimarzio pickups. and that's it. it's made in korea, while the jem 7v is made in japan (that's like comparing squier and fender usa)
jem 555 does not have a tremolo system like jem 7v (jem 7v has an egde pro floating tremolo, which is better, the string NEVER get out of tune)
and the guitar body is made of one piece wood in jem7v, while in jem 555 is three pieces
anytime. if you want to get a better info on guitars, visit harmony central. type harmony central and the guitar name in google, and you'll see what comes out
I know, but it's like 10 seconds real world time, to load 3 seconds of video for me. Sucks to live at home in the basement playing World of Warcraft eh?
wow im glad all these solo guitarists like vai, satriani, petrucci, gilbert and buckethead exist because im not 100% on most metal and i hate mainstream, i just love awesome guitar
Well there is alot taken froum Bulgarian music.. But i got to say it is just copy. 1 to 1. Excactly the same!
