DIE TO LIVE Steve Vai cover-joop wolters

[hellraiser7974]

man how did you get that bitchy b string in tune? it is very hard to get full major chord in tune especially with distortion because of equal tempered tuning where the major 3rd is something like 15 cents sharp compared to natural tuning.. what is the trick?? :-D sorry for my bad english..

[wijayaj]

wow! i love hiw the song changed its pace, more energy!

[Dukebox69]

No problem, I will check it out, keep the vids coming, any tips for guitar and YouTube would be appreciated,

[Dukebox69]

Best cover of this song on YouTube by a mile! I'm trying to learn this song so it will be uploaded soon! Hope it's as good as this! Haha Congrats with Steve vai himself favouriting the vid! Don't blame him! Easiest sub I've done

[skingaz]

love it! I'm not surprised that Steve Vai did too! Btw, what pickups have you got in there? Cos' your sound is so like Mr Vai's.

[IMTheMagicRat]

killer vid! clarence

[FreeMediaWorldwide]

dude ur awesome. could u post up ur tabs for this plz?

[haciko100]

waw...salute!!!

[Turee85]

WOW!!! Bravissimo!! ;)

[3283gieni]

that was wonderful. you put a lot of feeling into that. very nice guitar too

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Muy bueno tocando la guitarra!! Bravo!! ;)

[N0mary]

Wow you play this so perfectly no wonder it got favorited by Vai.

I covered this but it's not as good. Maybe I'll be able to play it as well as you when I'm older.

[ezeqsurf]

You are very good, it is very dificult to play vai performances and you did it . congratulations

[McPino67]

.......perfect!!! ;)

[OldShatterhand1985]

ohhh I can see line 6 POD xt on the desk :)

[brutus64]

If I played this good, I wouldn't be able to function on any other level! I'd need a machine to breath for me even!!! Go JOop!

[oseito74]

impressive. 5* to you. check mine if you like

[OctoMania1928]

WOW! good job bro. Beutiful tone PUNCHY!!

[Cazaq]

Vai only adds that tap harmonic on the every ever second riff , you do it on each one.

[togglenuts]

Being the one that played it, quite well I'd say, I'm sure he's aware of the artistic liberties he has taken in covering this song. It was enough to impress Steve...

[Cazaq]

It was not ment as an offence or anything like that , this cover is just amazing , the tapped harmonic just bugged me troughout the opening riff.

Cheers.

[MusicRockChannel]

Awesome job!

Getting a compliment from Mr. Vai himself is quite the honor.

What did you use to record the backing track? Sounded really tight.

[zoomantony7]

It's a cool tune (thanks Stevie)

And Joop pulls it off so nicely I'm inspired to learn it, now that I see it can be played by a mortal

[franedo]

Geweldig joop, bewonder jouw stijl zeer Steve ook :)

[togglenuts]

Joop, this is my favorite Steve Vai song, and you played it true brother. I must say although Steve is known as one of the greatest in the biz, I actually prefer some of your tunes over this one, and that's saying alot. Can't wait to hear some new stuff.

[lneme]

AMAZING!!!

[kbillydj]

nice man!!

with the ibanez and everything.

[4myBronxxxBomberOnly]

Nice, one of the few close plays I've ever seen/heard..sounded real smooth. Great going! :)

[jvbalai]

Bravo !! bravo !!.

Echt mooi gespeeld met veel gevoel. De harmony vloeit gewoon in de solo echt mooi.

Greetz.

Geweldig spel en indrukwekkend geluid joop, je hebt hier hard aan gewerkt en met jouw talent en dicipline combinatie(iets wat veel mensen vergeten) is het zeer begrijpelijk dat de Maestro's jouw niet onopgemerkt voorbij gaan. Vai weet wat hard werken is en herkent dat ook in jouw, je bent een kanjer kerel, ik gun je de wereld,groetjes Vic.

[joopwolters123]

dank je voor je welgemeende woorden..dat doet me goed..!!

grts en tot snel Vic.. joOp..

[MadShroomer]

ah I see you went through a "Bond Phase" too :) I had dyed mine to try and get it 'red' but it turned out 'pink' so I went back to this 'orange red' color before dying it black again and letting it fade to my natural color.

COOL SONG!
