"Steve Vai is watching, I can't fail now"

You can play :

Pentatonic

And some Am

[FrettiYeti]

Cm w.t.h. i want my Em pattern ... ok just kiddn but not used to playing in C and F so i guess that is what lurn-un is all about

[raultejedor]

Wow, what is it about this track that every note I play to it sounds like a good note?!

[eROCtele]

yep, nothing says good old blues like italian american steve vai......wait.

[tediz57]

i am an ameutur guitarist and i just soloed my ass off haha thanks loved the track

[Buttanick]

Awesome track! I mixed some dorian/aeolian with mixolydian and stuck some chromatic runs in there. Good fun. : )

[GiveMeMyWhammy]

HOT DAMN MY WRIST HURTS! I CAN'T STOP!!!!!!!

[mahajohn]

My improv on this backing track garnered intense amounts of applause and adulation from the audience of the popular, dark, alcohol-sodden club that exists in my mind. This is propulsive!

[mahajohn]

@mahajohn The audience asks me to play this again and again, no matter how repetitive I play!  It's amazing.

[LivetheHighestGrade]

Beautiful vibe, all I could think was an upbeat Riders on the Storm, thanks so much for this

[YgorGB]

1h playing the same track? good track.

[deathshade73]

Y is Steve Vai giving me the eeeevils?

[Stevin13]

Steve Vai the best !

[trombonewizard6]

Hope you don't mind, I used this recently. Huge hit!



[drumnkeys]

Couldn't find a better way to improve my practice in Scales!!!!

I made a bluesy lick to this on my channel and I figure it out for the life of me

Thanks,

Beau

[DMurdock]

What's up with this beat? I've never played this this good before

[renzo260]

just a replay button 0:00 , for the addicted, like me :)

[SASPython]

wow, i think this is my 7th time in a row playing... everything was awsome. The feel of the track, my delay, overdrive and reverb settings, just me n my guitar, and a picture of Vai watchin me didnt make me uncomfortable at all if not more inspired. Best fkn track ever. Wow that was good and i got another 3 hours of spare time on my hands. This is the life.

[mikesotite]

i was going to hit like, but then i realized there was 420 comments. YUP...and its 4/20!

[1pixle]

@mikesotite God sent you a message boy! Go get high, and spread his word! :D

[williamblueboy]

[williamblueboy]

[mpalin11]

*phew* wow, that was FUN! Better than sex :D

Thank you for the beautiful backing track.

[flandrian15]

Shit, I've never played anywhere like this in my life.

Scales, Modes, Arpeggio's. . .

They just came to me.

I had an epiphany !

Finally, after 14 years of playing, it makes sense to me

[tj2214]

@flandrian15 It's because Vai was there in spirit with you. He came through your computer and entered you. You've just entered..... the Vai Zone.

[JoluBadBoy]

Man this track y fucking great i can´t stop to play over that !!!

[JoluBadBoy]

The Boss Is Watching!!

[p1ippers]

These videos have improved my playing, and have allowed me to enjoy playing the guitar again .

[fivepiece]

Shit, I can't play with Steve watching me. Not cool.

[RealTomSawyer]

@fivepiece Its like trying to have a wank with the dog watching.

[fivepiece]

@RealTomSawyer Hahahaha! 

[Kroooket]

[cbpk1996]

this is fuckin GREAT ...i sound like BB king !!!=D....still not as good though =(

[BrittonDeJong]

omg at exactly 5:30 i did the perfect blues turnaround

[smartwood11]

isn't that gibsonulli's backing track??

[RetardedGuitarGuy]

@smartwood11 That is impossible, his was posted in January 2011, this was posted in May 2010...

[smartwood11]

@RetardedGuitarGuy aha.. his was reposted in January 2011 because he created a new channel.. but the original is older.

[resmoore]

@cwhitsy - G minor works too, especially if the v chord is a Gm9 - emphasizing the A; other scales that seem to work F dorian, G phrygian, as well as Eb major over the Cm7 and Bb mixolydian over the Gm five chord. But, keeping it simple and straightforward, both G pentatonic minor and C pentatonic minor work really well as both scales have notes common to both keys. The only difference between the two keys is A in one is an Ab in the other. Definitely a good sounding track!

[smartwood11]

@resmoore I agree. generally just playing around with minor modes. P.S. the 9 is the sweetest note ever!!

[Guitar6251]

@resmoore try making a one of the common tones so your playing dorian on the cmin part the Ab is a great passing tone

[maccagrabme]

@resmoore Are you able to explain this a bit clearer to the idiots out here? I get the C and Gmin Pentatonic part but the Dorian and other modes mean little to me other than Dorian I believe starts on the 2nd note of a scale. Thanks.

[Jerwold]

@maccagrabme If you don't understand modes yet just think that Dorian is the minor pentatonic, but add in the 6th and the 9th.

justinguitar explains it really well in his Blues Lead lessons - they're all on youtube.

[IrishLebaneseBeast]

that was the best I've ever played. ever.

[Earphunk]

@IrishLebaneseBeast its easy to think that when ur high

[PMBuffington]

@IrishLebaneseBeast hahah me too man! I love these

[DistortedV12]

I can't fail now... Steve Vai is watching.

[Ingolfur1983]

@DistortedV12 HE IS ALWAYS WATCHING :D

[guitarsender]

@DistortedV12 lol



[lonewolf1234512345]

@DistortedV12 not to worry. He knows precious little about the blues

[Kangos7]

@DistortedV12 :O I KNOW!!!!!

[cwhitsy]

Are you sure this is C minor? I'm hearing G minor... Smooth track though!

[tubatag]

Sweet track. Thanks for a great backup to my lead guitar practice. Very inspirational!

[FranLesPaul]

You shouldn't have put Steve Vai's picture here, I abuse my whammy bar too much because of this.

[BlkUnk]

what fret should i try this in????n00b desu... little helpよろしく.

[sacredgeometry]

@BlkUnk try c dorian

[swimmerforlife789]

@BlkUnk Roku genn no 8 fret kara dorian matawa pentatonic. Sore dakede jyuubunndesu! Ato wa tamashii wo komete!!!!!!!! Good luck! Just remember start from 8 fret on the 6th string.  Dorian or pentatonic. Are you American or Japanese? I'm confused, haha.

[2mas999]

@BlkUnk lots of frets, any interesting notes in the c minor scale, just look up "c minor scale for guitar" and see what u can come up with =)

[ChezterG]

my god this track is beautiful.. jazz blues fusion soooooooo cool =D i'm definetely makin a improv of this on my guitar on keyboard =)

[Nexxion]

Awesome feeling track. When you just want to sit back and groove and not have a worry in the world, this is the track you solo to. I love how it doesn't force the 5th either. You can play with a major or minor 5th and know it isn't going to hurt the backing track.

[effectivetherapy]

Great feel. Very well done I love the groove.

[jek21]

Great track!

[veravereta]

Thank you so much for this =)

[originaleggster]

Thanks so much for all your backing tracks. Love soloing over them. Please keep it up!!!

[pabloturrado74]

Muy buen backing track. me encanta tocar sobre el

[mofo4sholivecouk]

Hey, great backing track!

Iv been having guitar lessons for 6 months now, me and my guitar teacher done a recording in his studio using this backing track, using the scales I've learned, feel free to check it out on my page (mofo4sholivecouk-jam to C minor backing track), all comments welcome!! :)

[bmak24]

Mr.Vai is awesome!!!

[HitaroX]

This backing track is one of my favorites, along with one that is called "80s power ballad" which I did a video with, and put the link in the video for anyone that wants to use it.

[Zeiler91]

[greatestescapes]

[OmgItsGaryBusey]

it's shocking how ridiculous you really look when you're soloing to this track on a Dave Mustaine signature

[kidblink11]

@ASFM11 Do you know the minor pentatonic scale? If so Cm home base is the 8th fret and the scale would be

[kidblink11]

@ASFM11 starting on the low e string it two notes per string going like this bye the freat E, 8 ---11 , A 8-----10, D 8----10, G 8-----10, B 8----11, E 8------11.. hope this helps

[UltraMaXAtAXX]

[qwecars]

@UltraMaXAtAXX go ahead, nothing's stopping you! If it turns out sounding good then you can upload it on youtube for us all to here!

[UltraMaXAtAXX]

@qwecars Well, I'll only do about 32 or 48 measures' worth.

[qwecars]

@UltraMaXAtAXX anything would be great!

[Bindlossclun]

This videos are so good for me to practice improvise on my trumpet. Thanks for posting. :)

[Tank716]

Download link please? I wanna upload a vid of me playing over this ^_^

[Mustang1204]

Simple pentatonic seems to fit this best imho. Really really great. Love how I develop more speed as I really get that "creamy, layd-back" feeling going. Awesome.

Thanks for the upload.

[ltuomela]

yea man great fun to play on long with that..thanks..

[fdesb2]

Thanks for this great backing. Could you tell us the source? Maybe some opportunity to get more of the same :-)

[Fluffypopcicle]

damn, this is a great track for imitating guthrie govan.

[FreeInquisition]

I think this is the best one. You can play around so much with exotic lines in this.

[OMERTA011]

great track!

[canadaboy700]

My god this track is just cream in your pants material.

[xxCaMRocKxx]

beautiful track. thanks :)

[lookylooky2006]

[spike4379]

love the track, only thing i dislike about it, is that its not THAT prominant when it hits the 5 chord at the turn around, but other then that its a great track hey?

[DesireBros22]

Man...its just wonderful to play this on my original 1961 olympic white strat. those were the days........

[javierqr]

BRUTAL!!!!!!!

[helikestv]

The man whose name is synonymous with the blues.... Steve Vai!

Thanks for the track man it's good stuff.

[Drogba2108]

Im sorry guys, it seemed a bit boring to me. SORRY, i know ima get flamed for telling you my opinion. BUT, however, it still was somewhat fun to play.

[Hanz780]
