[yamila2068]

Pretty convincing job by the Karate Kid in playing the guitar. Love this scene. Awesome ending to the movie.

[daringrebe]

at 8:08 Mr Machio looks like he wants to suck on a Tube Steak Sausage

[crue93]

Oooh burn Vai.. You just got burnt by Vai..

[pubess213]

Best guitar dual ever, i still like the brittany spears crossroads better thoughh

[chadmbedwell]

[imalonelytylenolami]

I hope the dancer didn't get payed a single cent for being in this movie. -.-

[gitaar0girl0voetbal]

I want to see the movie

[XxXDeathNoteLoverXxX]

Ha I love this movie. It's one of my all time faveorites.

Ha. Vai Got his ass kicked by Ralf Matchio. lol. If you take into concideration that He's using a Floyd Rose, and Karate Kid is using a Classic Tele, He did pretty damn good.

[sundowna]

actually this is that movie where anything worth seeing happens in the last 12 minutes or in this case..this scene.

[j0mp]

Ry Cooder Plays all the cool Slide guitar for The Karate Kid.Greatest Slide around.Go check it out for your self

[danieleliasson19]

vai plays the both guitars!

[EmperorZhang66]

yes, lets counter technical shredding with a blues bottle neck???wtf....vai would so pwn him...

[GuitarRHCPfan]

I know right? I thought the same thing.

[ArtfulDawdger]

vai owned himself, he played both parts.

[EmperorZhang66]

yep....you can tell the end is overdubbed..cause yu cant actually pklay the 4 notes at the same time :P

[MysticXrazorX]

theres a lil guitar cut out of this..

[666wrathchild]

lol

[Whydoyoureadme]

This movie reminds me of Karate Kid, Showdown, and other movies like that... but the guitar rulz, but I'm sure the movie it self sucks.

[MysticXrazorX]

WHAT?! r u retarded? sry but damn never judge anything till youve tryed it lol woah man

[Whydoyoureadme]

I DIDN'T Say that it sucked, but it looks like the kind of movie that usually sucks.

[MysticXrazorX]

u said u were sure but whatever okieday

[Whydoyoureadme]

Ya, might be, but somethimes I don't express meself that well since I'm not british or american

[MysticXrazorX]

what r then fellow human

[topperspoppers]

it really isnt a great movie but.. cool scene

[wynn224]

ry cooder only does the slide guitar part

[unrandomrob]

I own this film on video, and its without a doubt one of the worst films I have ever seen.

However...... This scene more than makes up for the rest of it. One of the best final scenes to a film ever made.

[esmortis]

lol steve vai can do harder shit than both of those parts put together. cool mentality tho

[busavata1965]

its not playing karate kid

bat ry cooder vs steve vai

[partyboychain]

Vai recorded both parts but at the end when he "Loses" he actually plays when he fails the ending.

[mythbuster1991]

vai still sucks

[edialfaro]

steve vai is better than that

[NanaPudden]

This is like crack coccaine for my soul -- this Guitar Duel is for me, the ultimate battle of spirit right there. Good stuff >:)

[tomiclav]

which guitar is vai playin?

[zinodikudu]

Steve Vai actually played all the guitar. It was dubbed.

The karate kid was pretending to play.

[BulletFrenzy543]

O_O karate Kid strikes again

[red151516]

owned.

[CrazyJimProof91]

daWatchiir

[SgtPeppers17]

"Bet ya can't play none eithuh!"

I would have straight up jacked that douche in the face.

[guitarherorg]

The guitar of Vai in this movie is a Jackson JSX94?

[BLACKMAGICMETALMAN12]

I'm pretty sure it's a Charvel san dimas if I'm not mistaken

[louiseduvee]

Thanks for posting!

[AdamDamonAtkinson]

Im inclined more and more to believe Arlen Roth that he did the slide work in this movie... big time... After watching a bunch of Ry Cooder stuff on youtube and listening to him for years, I tend to doubt he is capable of playing this stuff physically. Arlen however, certainly is.... could be wrong, but the tone isnt even Ry tone in terms of attack and notes and what not... the classical stuff was done by someone else all together according to Arlen's site.

[NewOrleansFrog]

I want that tone that Vai uses for this solo, is fucking beastly and I want to find it and use it. I can't imitate it.

[RevilationGuitar]

me 2 :(

[AdamDamonAtkinson]

The Vai tone is easily attainable if you A. Buy an 80s era Jackson... now very cheap because they are way hairbandish... plug into a good reverb pedal, chorus and a cranked marshall solid state stack... back in the 80s that was the tone for bar band and concert rock alike...

[NewOrleansFrog]

Well, actually, Vai wrote all of this himself, and he is famous for his Ibanez's. So I would imagine he used a Ibanez. But yeah, I figured it was a Marshall amp, I use a Line 6 so thats probably why I can't imitate it, Marshall is too unique.

[msterdaniels117]

i thought vai used carsin stacks

[skaterrock]

thats accualy an ibanez you can tell by head stalk

[AdamDamonAtkinson]

ibanez or jackson, either way... point is Dimarzio pickups, marshall stack, reverb, chorus and maybe a little delay. Vai did write all the improv stuff in this solo, but he definitely didnt do the slide stuff or the fingerpicked classical part which is Paganini's Caprice V.

[jagvillhaensoffa]
