"HeYaaaandy" #3 Steve Vai acoustic idea

[panconquesoderretido]

Niiice!

[haurlame]

am i the only one here that would be happy just being his dog

[KazysBobelis]

This accoustic Idea begins as Aerosmith's-Jadded only in a different key

[panconquesoderretido]

I love this <3

[ECCvideo78]

As always <3

[rccbatv]

0:48 look at the world's happiest dogs

[Laxer1313]

T...tt....tttttttttttt....TABS­! 

[CharveI]

this guy is a posing arrogant fcuker, he sweeps his hands through his hair as he plays on stage like the extra from a gay movie the dick licking chinaman

[ItalyNerf]

@CharveI you got your period?

[pinino1611]

@CharveI FUCK YOU !!!!!!!

[SteveManArg]

@CharveI ¿Que mierda te sucede con Steve Vai? Sacate la arena de la vagina antes de comentar mierdas de este gran hombre, la recalcada concha de tu reputisima madre. Si no podes comprender su musica, entonces cortate los oidos ya que no te sirven para un carajo, hjo de mil puta.

[wagnerfelix]

Amazing. Always Amazing.

[YooEssBee1]

to be honest it's not that great riff

[capalish91]

it reminds me something like "super 70's" intro by andy timmons!

[deathbringer0520]

@capalish91 I love that song! I kinda see what you saying man.

[N1ckSchrader]

@capalish91 exactly my thoughts!!

[jasonbecker]

Welcome to the real world, she said to me, condescendingly

[TwistedSpeech]

Steve, you need to do a totally acoustic album and put that riff on the album. Sounded amazing my friend. : )

[matheussantosandrade]

Sounds like an old 16-bit game theme.

[carlosjbesteiro]

this fragment is like you, ...fantastic!!!!

[WazWarptonMyspace]

Steve, are those guitar bits by FZ by any chance?

[shahrullz1]

what chords is he using?

[HillaryHitler]

Is this Andy guy his  "Houseboy"?

[WalkingDudeGuitar]

@HillaryHitler I think you mean 'bumboy'! Just kidding!! Andy is Mikey Mesker's replacement and he runs all of Steve's on-line stuff, such as his website and his Twitter & Facebook pages.

[milongalacovacha]

WTF!!! shit!!!



[TheSpoonwood]

a bit out of tune.... send another guitar please

[StreetSoldier88]

He was reading the tab with his phone.

[outtacastatv]

fuck me this guy has had his head up his arse for 20years! that was shit a pointless slightly funky jazz thing that if a kid played in a music store nobody would care! fuck off vai you cock jock

[diveplane]

@outtacastatv what a dik comment

[outtacastatv]

@diveplane fuck off

[guitpla304]

same guitar Elvis played, Awesome I've always wanted one

[shackyl]

those dogs sure hear an awful lot of brilliant music

[EJwannabe]

Actually, I think its a reference to one of his artists, the great Andy Timmons and his song Super 70's, though, which sounds like John Mayer's 1983 a bit

[catspajamas01]

@EJwannabe

Andy is the name of the guy filming the video

[TheLydianRocks]

@EJwannabe lmao no it's the dudes name!!! Bloody hell. :D

[EJwannabe]

This is the John Mayer song that his clip made me think of - listen to the chord voicings and patterns - you be the judge: search for John Mayer 1983

[eddysynyster]

Absolutely beautiful, Steve Vai you truly inspire me, i wish that one day i could be close to your level

[EJwannabe]

Sounds like one of the John Mayer tunes, don't remember which...

[CapnCheezburger]

@EJwannabe Don't even compare him to that idiot.

[mariojunior1992]

A guitar that here in Brazil "if it has to sell here," should cost every organ of the human body!

[nes313rd]

steve can cure cancer , oh yea i see him do it



[JasonWB007]

Actually, Steve Vai has invented a new way of programming computers through the use of sound. For his encore this year, he will instantly reprogram every computer on the planet to reproduce his concert instantaneously, thus setting the world's record for the largest simultaneous computer network on the planet. Immediately following will be Judgement Day :-)

[JasonWB007]

Steve just makes up stuff on the spot that the rest of us could ponder for years. That's genius!

[cleverclover7]

we love it! thank you for being so accessible with these Steve. You've been such an inspiration to me over the years as a guitar player and it's really great to see you in your natural habitat just being a regular guy. (except for your supernatural musical talent obviously:)

[FISHGOMOO4321]

"Why do you want that when I'm filming you in HD?" Upload it with only 360p available. Liar.

[rocker9911]

Nah steve was giving a getting lesson to his iphone.

[Vgupy]

sopa .please noooooooooooooo

[KeithRobProduction]

This is sooo beautiful. I love the tune

[BDPGT]

In the background with all his pedals I see a EVH MXR effects pedal.

[stevenpaultrue]

Effortless brilliance

[VideoGameSpeed]

The high E string is a little out of tune, but otherwise I hope this ends up on a new album.

[sinyantoday7]

Amazing chance to see this!!



[GoofyGuitar68]

I LIKE IT WHEN YOUR AT HOME! PRETTY COOL VAI! TO WATCH!

[sanmigueldj]

Those dogs have free Steve Vai concerts every single day.

[lukegunnlee1988]

did anyone els hear him fart as he sat down

[MrAppolo777]

i'd sell my soul to devil for his right hand!

[dariotten]

@MrAppolo777 what about the left one? :D

[jhonas43]

@MrAppolo777 not worth it why no just check some of good acoustic guitar much better than this like allegro solemne from la catedral compssed by a really virtuoso agustin barrios mangore if you want to see how the acoustic guitar mos be played

[patapatapon777]

this would be even more amazing if his high e was in tune:/

[SIGMARE]

Steve was getting guitar lessons on his iphone.

[ZacksquiresMusic]

@SIGMARE no, he was giving his iPhone guitar lessons.

[bishopoftroy]

@SIGMARE The guitar lessons were learning from Steve.

[matyasd88]

very good

[williamquitilipi]

un capooooooooooo

[Chakalaka025]

steve vai with gibson? whoa???

[frogbass12]

Sweet sound and nice (improved) arrangement.

[Wintersguitar]

..."niiiiiice"... :)

[mercilessfreak]

The guitar has a moustache XD

[MrLosfuegos]

@mercilessfreak It's called a moustache bridge!

[MrSupercracker1]

is it true that you can play free bird note for note? if so that is awesome

[osvaldomneves]

@MrSupercracker1 I think he can play this music with just one hand...LoL

[dnzcndmr96]

HELAL OLSUN STEVE REYİZ!!!!

[PaulGilbert60sMind]

Am I the only one that thought of Andy TImmons' "Super 70's" after hearing this?

[mycareer]

Just so cool to see one of my favorite virtuosos in such a down to earth way. Thanks for sharing!

[RockhouseRay]

is that other dog a corgi?

[mrfilipgnesin]

Sounds awesome but also a bit like andy timmons

[TheBigMclargehuge]

Steve's improvs make your life's work sound like background music in an infomercial.

[Bouillestfu]

Hi I'm Steve and here's another video of me being better then you on the guitar! Enjoy!

[motleybrewshow]

Brew to you Steve!

[Rafalou89]

Steve , i love your musique but this song is not for you ! I think you are the best of the electric guitar but not acoustic !

[VaiRendy]

@Rafalou89 don't take it to serously, just enjoy.. he plays what he likes to do

[CBSSOM]

What tuning was the guitar in?

[BeeMockAutrey]

ahhh I got that guitar for my birthday--wondering is this is Koa wood in the backs and sides---awesome, Steve, You make her sing! :)

[jwilbur]

lovely jam! nice geet!

[dihsruhk]

love ya SIR!



[tkojams]

beautiful guitar, Steve.

[SoundofAli]

Nice! NICE Nice! Bro

[LifeImitated]

Acoustic idea? Please turn this into a song Mr. Vai. Truly wonderful.

[Luizfili]

You know, I've done the same thing, not for a Gibson (gorgeous that one), but a Takamine. As those (two tunes) are in open G tuning I put the name "Keef The Reef" (Keith Richards), but watching this one could be "Vai Vai", that means "go Vai" in portuguese. The tune is as beautiful as the instrument.

[ArchitectRufus]

hey stev i got a new accoustic for christmas too...a lag...plays great

[kermheat]

mâââa!!!!!

[bmbbmx]

Could I trade places with the dogs? just for a day?

[TreyDee45]

songs just like a mayer song from way back

[dtongamusic]

@TreyDee45 Does sound a little like the No Such Thing riff. Similar chords.

[naynaydnay]

wowzers!



[Joe87theburningskull]

so good to listen to a new Vai tune :)

[guitarrosegroove]

I wish him play Les Paul.

[Metallimeister]

@guitarrosegroove They're not the best guitars in the world. They're just popular but they so uncomfortable and you can buy a better guitar for a lot less money.

[guitarrosegroove]

@Metallimeister I Just want to know what sound will be like if he play Lespaul.

I agree with your opinion :)

[Metallimeister]

@guitarrosegroove He has played similar guitars like a Paul Reed Smith. Good luck finding a recording though.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to hear him play something else aswell. I can't imagine him playing anything that's not a Jem.

[guitarrosegroove]

@Metallimeister 

[abbiescadia27]

the story goes like this...

STEVE VAI...

THE END.

[robertuzg]

I will hate this world if you leave before us, you are simply the best.

[TheKillerFabivs]

Beautiful playing as usual and nice guitar!

[c1e2r3v4o5]

Thanks...

[Chaos23x]

Very nice guitar, and beautiful playing!

[alkaw1]

Steve thank you! Your music save our lives, happy new year, be happy, and we waiting g3! Many job waiting you, Steve! (Sorry, bad english, RUSSIA :))) )

[Archergod]

He gave us the finger as soon as he starts playing.

[wyzwyz24]

Happy new year Vai!!! All the best for 2012

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

The way he moves his picking hand is just Mezmorizing, I need to practice that right there.

[igorregis97]

MUITO BOM!!!!

[strabbs1]

Nice to see a legend chilling with the guys and girls and being normal.....or s normal as you can be with that amount of talent

[BoyOfLol]

The only person who could ever strum better than that that's alive right now... Is Chuck Nor - nevermind. I think Steve is better.

[GreeNmOonn]

i love you Vai !!

[Vailover4ever]

Happy New Year Steve.This is so nice and I do hope this becomes a song and a new album for 2012;can't wait.

[headachebr]

acoustic only album coming soon? what?! :O :P

[Barefoot67]

that's not an Ep 10 whats goin on here?

[pistache7]

@Barefoot67 Maybe that was just for work? This guitar is for fun !

[DarkieBC]

Awesome hat is awesome

[salasvalor01]

Hey Steve, I often wondered why you don't wear your ring anymore? Does it interfere with when you play? Your my virtual father, Steve, and you are growing as a player even from the beginning when you were already too much! A special person you are- a gift to mankind. You and Steve Howe (maybe it's just everyone with the name Steve is a wonderful guitar player lol) are unmeasurable guitarists. I also love your orchestra work. Happy New Year!

[wagnerroficial]

Happy 2012 Steve! I wish you a wonderful new year. Successes for you!

[toneshun]

1st guitar licks that i heard from youtube in 2012 =)

nice ditty, steve, thanks & happy-riffs year to u!

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Whoa

[matykpo1992]

"Naiissz"

[mr306notch]

Very nice lick you came up with

[EquinoxParadox91]

Steve sure likes that hat.

[ArtKun95]

We definitely need more "HeYaaaandy" videos :)

[KennethTheGuiTarist]

Genius! 

[turbomike91tsi]

Fire the video editor for uploading a low resolution video to youtube when the video states it was shot in HD. lol

[maskedman000]

Fuck them dogs!

[jotace1234]

amazing



[abglongpower]

love the gibson..

[Istalriify]

Brilliant. 

[canajian]

Nice tone......

[aslbled06]

I really digg that rhythm:)

[satch1144]

Nice sound from this guitar, may be the guitarrist help a little. ;-))

[simpledudeable]

>Song is improvised on the spot

>Other guitarists want notes.

[Thepiermarshow]

Great Mr. Vai!!! 

[rohanbahadur92]

everything he plays could become a song oneday

[glassslide]

Cool!

[jharri1]

Thanks so much Mr. Vai!

[uendicott]

SteveVaiHimself is such a real artist. you don't only show your best on stages but also sharing to us what behind your scenes. long live steve vai !!!!

[wilsinhobatera]

its sounds like no such thing by john mayer.. good stuff.

[PVS21m]

5000 bucks guitar plus Steve vai hands = out of this world

[mickiew4]

Now, I'm no expert on social dynamics, but I might assume that, especially after the third try by this same "andy" guy, Steve knew he was gonna film this.

[TheCasualty]

.......where is the HD?

[RockstarBurnzy]

@TheCasualty ...who cares?

[69mergo69]

I think it's a little k'm pee du wee-like.

[patchoulinick]

this sucks

[houseband239]

HD, eh?....

[peelopuu]

It sounds like somebody running on grass fields. Don't ask me why I think it that way :p

[HOPE77z]

Fantastic play.

Happy New Year Steve!!!

regards Hope

[DrummerBoyfm]

this sounds great. sounds like something John Mayer would play...with a hint of Vai... good stuff.

[brunocoelhobass]

Beautiful guitar.

[Dozbik]

Nice, indeed.

[LuteroReforma]

Really nice idea, but probably not quite in tune

[Progehr34]

@LuteroReforma Well aren't you the expert.

[Jaxemus]

His hat is terrible lol

[LuteroReforma]

@Jaxemus No! jaja its so fun!

[TaVeneno]

lessie ??

[xguitar123]

Awesome

[xouris123]

Who would dislike a sound-checking jamming lol.

[jasonbecklegend]

Genial sonido!!

[Tallguyalec]

awesome fast strumming! :D

[luvgory]

Man do I even know how to play a guitar

[eventosjgomez]

bacano...

[yungbubbabush]

Why isn't he using his Ibanez Uphoria?
