[kenroy916]

i know vai does not make mistakes its almost like he doesn't know how or if he does it just gets lost in his act and you cant really tell

[VulegendZP]

every1 can go there and move his fingers on 6 string while theres music in background :D.Not so hard

[VulegendZP]

lol m8.U never heard bout effects.Steve vai play in background while actor "act" that he plays like Vai. LOOOL 5 year kid know it :P

[arabflyer]

they used a hand stand in

[TheChewyWun]

I bet it was hard for Vai to make mistakes on purpose LOL goes against his whole being.

[littleVogty]

hey! dumb shit, it's an actor its not really steve vai

[TheChewyWun]

Hey FUCKING RETARD! That is Steve Vai, Ralph is the fucking actor and Vai played about 70 to 80 percent of all of this music, Ry Cooder played the slide parts. So go fuck yourself.

[frankenstrat25]

how is it an actor when he plays so good i cant do that and ive been playin for 5 years non stop practice

[Herzi72]

Hammer Geil 5+

[10thmaggot]

[jeminiser]

[rolandomorado]

1:53 AAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[dethcx22]

obviously not karate kid playing that , steve vai playing it then dubbed to the video

[redrocker1055]

I'm still waiting for them to do a movie about Jack Butler...LOL

[guigabryan]

Chorei largado!

[RandomHeroes2112]

theres no way hes playing that with his fingers instead of a pick

[JimMorrisonAbrams]

In the movie his character is a virtuosic classical guitarist, thus he would be more comfortable playing without a pick, however it is Vai playing with a pick. You can tell from the graininess.

[baileycentral]

Wow I nearly had a heart attack. I was watching this, thinking no. NO. A kid>VAI? NO. Then I looked up and saw "Crossroads", and I was like, "PHEW."

[ecurrent94]

i like how he just dropped that beautiful guitar on the floor. if i were in that crowd i'd probably grab it and run.

[CheatasticChea]

Classical Music FTW O:

[eddieisgreat5150]

dont know but kick ass!!!!!

[Zorieuk16]

telecaster sux a lot of auhshuashuauhsahusas

[damienro0]

Does anyone the name of the piece the boy is playin??

[aznargo]

Paganini's 5th Caprice.

Originally covered by Jason Becker.

[thobiashs]

This movie is Sweet ! Name of the video " Crossroads"

Epic movie

[Sephiroth753]

yo si le doy a steve vai xD

[sircraigery]

This movie looks fuckin stupid.

[blurpy123]

ur fuckin stupid

[richard4120]

that laugh at the start is awesome

[emillioe]

The karate kid doesn't play. For the movie a classical guitar teacher helped teach him to fake the fingering to make it look as close as possible/realistic as possible if you were to actually play it. Ofcourse they have to make it look harder at certain points but yeah. Hope that answers your question guys . ^^

[MrPignati]

i heard, that vai plays both. that the boy isn't play one can actually see... :)

[Jaggyrat]

this so fake dudes...he was sweeping in the audio..and not in the vid....

[nthsieh928]

haha you can even tell that steve vai is faking that he can't play it.

[bloeregard]

that was sweet! anyone got tabs hahah?

[walshy0001]

yea dude like seroiusly can the karate kid seriously play guitar?

[RockenDokkenlover91]

lmao!!! it's funny seeing steve vai loose at the end you can totally tell he made himself mess up on purpose hahahahaha

[Anik04]

lolzzz...I wish to see who wins in a real battle!! :P

[Buyandsee]

AND is that the karate kid???

[Lilrocker5150]

does he rlly play?

[Buyandsee]

hahahaha wat in gods name is this from??

[hoagie13365]

The movie Crossroads...its a decent movie.

[moonsterX]

lol, too short fingerboard

[Solidiquis]

Hwen your a guitar player, it's actually harder to mess up on purpose than to actually make a mistake. You can sooo tell Steve doesn't know how to mess up xD

He just lifted his fingers and muted the strings with his fret hand xD

[KyleWhittom]

apparently the karate kid can play the arpeggios without a pick at that speed

[theyounones]

lol steve vai is the gretes gutair in the wrold so fuck u

[testdrug]

technically Vai just beat himself.

and he's pissed about that.

[Learninsomegeetar]

Steve Vai won.He can actually play it.the karate kid can't.

[ikilledyourmom666]

one word... "OWNED"

[peacemaker9080]

no one seems to realize that the kid is ralph macchio from karate kid.

[gerryiam]

*Falls to the ground with exhaustion from bending string* I am vanquished! *Hissy fit*

I love this movie :P

[Zway2]

Vai's so good he finds it hard to make mistakes XD

he's trying his best to fail but still makes it 90% perfect

lol

[parnapple]

obviously deliberate mistakes

[Newbit19]

LOL this guy is the shit i play a way better guitar than him.. and he gets a movie

[punims]

Vai does both ... the other actor is only mimicing xD but Vai both wrote and plays the parts xD its in his disk actually

[peacemaker9080]

true

[SSREZAL]

which is Steve Vai ?

[kenjiohyama]

the one thats looks like severus snape, the man, not the kid with the telecaster.

[aznargo]

basically, to sum up what he (or she, I don't know which >_>)

It's the dude with the red guitar

[Venix946]

Seems like Vai got served O.o

[zemlay]

kool

[666izzy666slash666]

bitch what the fuck?

[Zusik12900]

Can someone tell me where this is from?

[KingChief73]

Crossroads you idiot.

[Aralmo69]

thaNKs asshole, no offense

XD

[danakraken]

I hardly could breathe the first time I saw this duel...Masterpiece!!!

[bnnkhardcore]

it's so awkward and hard for vai to fuck up cos he's too good lol.

Btw this piece shows his amazing knowledge of music theory and composing ability. Hands down to Vai.

[criesmanwhy]

this movie rules

[BlueH4wk]

yes^^

it is a tele

[lkn4spaces]

This scene is totally awesome. The who reason to watch the movie!

[luhae]

is that a telecaster guitar???

[pash210]

YEPP

I am a 10 year old freak at guitar

[BUTTONIZUM94]

RIGHT!

[BUTTONIZUM94]

that dosn't even play guitar it's all steve vai

[spawn1492]

WRONG. Eugene's part is done by Ry Cooder and Steve Vai recorded his parts before hand. Check the credits.

[AchillesLastStandxxx]

NOT QUITE. The final piece by Ralph Machio is written AND played by Vai. (Eugene's Trick Bag)

[Whooper22191]

If Steve vai sucks then why is he famous and well respected and your not?Oo thats right cause all you do is talk shit over the internet.Anywho that kid is amazing he isnt even using a pick,But Steve vai would really have owned lol

[JeZaJaws]

good movie, grate scene :-)

[Xmjthrillme2020X]

Steve Vai's face: Hella Pissed!!!

[frenchymonser]

[matthew909]

[g0thchik77]

Kickass! Can someone teach me to play like that? :P

[ipmanrique]

JAJAJAJA YA PARECE!!!! XD

[greenlizardsun]

his fingertechnique isn't bad :)

[KingChief73]

Get out you stuck up fucko loser. You talk like you're better than Steve Vai.

[greenlizardsun]

what the fuck?

why do you give a fuck about my comments and i haven't said anything about vai, so, fuck you..

[anjeroxjp]

Omg steve vai lost to the karate kid! damn you mister miyaghi DAMN YOU!!

[heavymetalkid13]

[Incredibleskills123]

If i can learn to play this in a week, im getting a free guitar xD

[girrafo]

When you are able to play this piece U can say that U can play the guitar... xD Greetings for all starting guitar players =D

[pigmonster]

thadus232 

its the film crossroads =]

[kyeldai92]

IS THAT REAL??

[thadus232]

something is wrong with this video... oh yeah, its a movie.

what movie is it again?

[Incredibleskills123]

Crossroads

[aromin25ron]

there's someting wrong about the video the guitar player just cheated pretending that he was playing it Im playing thats why i know... actually its just a movie so never mind its good anyways just enjoy it...

[jesterofseven]

Ralph Maccio is pretending to play the guitar. He went through 3 months of proper guitar riff training though to be in the correct positions. The person he is playing against there, is Steve Vai. He played both versions. One that we hear now, and the one he stuffs up.

[MuseMuseBliss]

what are u talking aobut jester? his fingers arent in the right places, if u watch steve vai play it for reals after ralph maccio does ull see their fingers arent in the same places...

[LordCarcas]

i'm fucking jealous 0_0' xD

[alexkamysz]

Id like to bring it to your attention that the song in this video is in the wrong key. This vid is in A# minor. The real song & vid are in A minor. Whoever ripped this must have used a cheap program. The video with the song in the correct key for those of you trying to learn it can be found on youtube under the user mitmensch.....Its called Crossroads Guitar Duel - Steve Vai battles Karate Kid. This vid can be misleading. There are several copies of it too so don't get fooled.

[aznargo]

You have good ears xD I would have never noticed that

[metalmaniacemg]

That gay  steve vai gets owned !

[kodysbanik]

stfu you fucking idiot steve vai is 1 of the guitarist there and the little kid is dubbed over a soundtrack

[metalmaniacemg]

Calm down man it was just a comment no need to take it so seriously i am a big fan of steve vai there was no offence intended in my comment jeeze.

[JostoCa]

paganini capriccio N° 5

[Iggysparks]

What is the name of this song ?

[WOWISFUCKEDUP]

its known as eugene's trick bag..awesome guitar playing

[dogyshmogy]

I want to see this movie it looks pretty cool

[needs9a9name]

is most of the movie about this? or is it just one scene?

[aznargo]

I think it's one scene, but I'm not sure

[needs9a9name]

what movie is this?

[aznargo]

Crossroads is what it's called

[bilalmukhlis]

ummm has anyone seen the clip wehre the guy plays hid guitar so hard his hand bleeds???

[blueredfred2]

he learnt to mime it then they sped it up, you can tell because ralph is jerking his head quite a lot.

[djmighton]

Wrong, a lot of great classical guitarists "jerk" there heads a lot

[blueredfred2]

i know that, i just mean he jerks it in an un natural almost sped up kind of way...

[blossem1234]

nah the peice is actually a classical piece which is normally played on the violin... needless to say people thought the composer was posessed by the devil...

[Axeman89]

did steve vai actually right that guitar bit for that guy?? or was that ry cooder? lol

[azimuth457]

it's his interpretation of a classical song, i'm pretty sure when it just shows fingers it's actually him playing.

[thesandman775]

Vai is soo good he sucks at sucking.

[Frostbite155]

...wtf to say...

Karate Kid meets Steve vai

[gravy47]

[madness44911]

[mccarty]
