If steve vai is playing is because he has an idea about music .also if you cant feel anything playing like him maybe is because this isnt your music style
@VictorMRSilva im a musician, maybe a shouldn't say this is pure shit, sry, but I didn't liked what he did... I love music that really shows feeling, like For the Love of God, the kind music I love is Blues and classic rock...
@S0D41 I agree 100%. Guys like Vai have no idea about music. They're just perfectionists & technicians. I'm not suggesting Vai isn't an incredible player, because he is, but he just feels he has to play exotic scales & chord progressions because he can. He turns music into white noise. This just sounds like a soulless machine.
@Frederikguitar1234 Most lame? You mean lamest. Please gain a decent command of the English language before trying to engage in conversation. Now I really must go, as I can't abide any more of this meaningless noise pollution supplied by Mr Vai.
@whitbyjet65 this is not a grammar school sucker besides steve vai is definently not a douche he is a guitar virtuoso playing what he enjoys the most and u cant blame him that nor me for telling u it.
@whitbyjet65 It seems to me that when you can't win an argument, you try an insult someone's grammar? Seriously, this is too immature. Grow up, enjoy music. If you don't like Vai, don't listen to his music. It's as simple as that.
@FarezRulz Incorrect! When I've won an argument, I become bored & therefore correct people's spelling & grammar, & make them into better people. You see! I'm an all round good egg.
Tut tut! Would you look at the state of those jeans. Until he can learn to dress appropriately, I for one will be taking all future musical influences from the immaculately turned out "Cliff Richard" :) ... And for heavens sake Steve, TUCK IN THAT SHIRT!
EVO never had gold hardware. EVO always had the black and chrome mix. FLO, his newer white Ibanez JEM is the one you're thinking of, with the gold hardware.
About EVO: Evo was one of 5 7v guitars given to Steve in the mid 90's by Ibanez when they first made this model. He has made several changes to it (lots of bridges and 3 necks, if i'm right). So EVO was a white guitar with gold hardware. (you can se Steve playin' it in the Alien Love Secrets videoclips like the Bad Horsie one or the Tender Surrender one.
About FLO: Flo was a Jem 77FP (Floral pattern) painted white.
@61SGman He changes the bridge about once a year or so, as stated on his website. My guess is he doesn't really care what color the hardware is, so long as it works
@ConklinTa its probably more because the orginal one that ibanez puts out gives you nothing to rest your hand on.....it gets tiring when your hands sliding off all the time...the only reason that guitars expensive anyway is because his name is on it...I perfer the js's and ericjohnson strats over his sig anyway :)
@ConklinTa I playe done at guitar center last week....ehh i liked the js because of teh sustain and weight and body shap and the eric johnson strat because its just like a vintage strat...have you played one of those? there BAYONE great guitars.
@metachozoite I have, yes, they're nice, I'm just not a big strat guy. I like the JEM, I thought it had better sustain, but it also greatly depends on the amp/equipment. I put the DiMarzio Evolutions in my JS, and I love it.
I bet most of the haters have never picked up a guitar and know little to nothing about music theory or composition. Not liking someone is one thing but you can't say they suck when Vai's forgotten more about playing in the last 5 minutes than post people ever know.
Theres just no bottom end to this garbage. Take the trem bar off and drop the effects and harmonic man. Im getting sick of Vai so bad. Hes a fuggin primaddona. He and all his "followers" think what hes doing is so great. I just dont get it. Its for fuggin little kids. Hes in his own little world and it is really getting boring. Quick.
@brib333 well my friend, that's why Vai's been around for over 20 years.. If any of this would be getting boring, he wouldn't have lasted this long. So please, stop trolling and if you don't like Steve, don't come on his video and complain.. Just DON'T LISTEN!! I mean, it's that simple dude..
I am real. And I think Nuno is a much better player that Vai. When it comes down to the nitty gritty Nuno is the better player. Vai has nice little melodies going on but all his songs sound the same. I love how percussion Nuno is and very creative and original. Listen to Extremes last cd before you tell me to be real. In fact listen to there last 3 cds. Vai is a prima donna
@brib333 Nuno is nowhere close to being as good as Vai...he isn't even on the same planet...and I'd bet a huge sum of money Nuno would tell you the same.
@999vai999 You're obviously going to be biased co you're a Vai fan...Vai is impressive but Nuno does stuff that is beyond the quirky noises I hear in this vid. Nuno def has a better right hand than Vai. But having said all this who cares....they are the best of mates and both rich. They dont give a fuck so why should we?
You know what sucks. True and soulful guitar music like this will prolly be gone forever when Vai and the few other greats are gone. Music like this dying out and too many people are too worried about " fast picking" and "sweeping" to just PLAY! I will miss it when it's gone. I can play, but sadly not this good.
@bunnyboybxb it's just a piece of tape with KONX written on it.... sometimes Vai plays so hard tat his high E string would get stuck under his pick up so he sealed it with tape and if I remember corectly KONX is an Indian word which brings good fortune... read it on Vai's website some time ago
dang forget the music teachers at my college lol i've got a whole arsenal of guitarists(Vai, Satch, Schon, Slash, Gilbert, Petrucci, etc.) on youtube; i learn just from watching these GuitarGods in the comfort of my room.
@atila120 that a thing he does a lot.....is a a pattern in E lydian, he plays a is a succession of fifths going down E Lydian, thats it.....good luck!!!!
What the fuck are you talking about, guy? Post a video of yourself playing this, and I'll leave you alone! You're a loser! Go listen to your nu-metal shit somewhere else, and leave the true musicians alone!
I'm not sure if you have guitar pro but if you do there is a tab on ultimate guitar called "i Know you're Here" by Vai (ofc) and that lick is in there :D
I think Vai is starting to sound very very cliched. Still amazing but it's more of the same, bog standard Vai patterns and licks. Take a chance Steve, try something different.
Dude, you realize these are just excerpts of songs made for Young Guitar magazine, right? It's very easy to say that when you're not a virtuoso. And at one time, these "standard Vai patterns and licks", were not really even happening before he came along. The fact that his licks are standard and that we're so used to hearing them and taking them for granted speaks about his level of guitar playing. It's so original.
Yea, and I gotta say, even though I've seen and heard of alot of amazing players, I seem to like to still listen to Jimmy Page, and Van Halen. The only time where I really liked Clapton though was the Bluesbreakers, maybe Cream. Other than that though, not my cup of tea.
it's the name of his guitar, because he needed to tell which guitar had the evolution pick ups, he wrote EVO on it, similar story with FLO, but i dont quite know exactly
He can play a few trademarks all the time because... well he invented it and it's his trademark.
I am sure if 1 of the millions of youtube guitarist actually made it and became an innovator they'd always reuse created styles and phrasings.
In fact I am willing if we picked anyone here to play every day to an audience for 1 week, by the 2nd or 3rd day we'd be bored to death of seeing the same shit being used. There difference it would be plagiarized rubbish.
well flo has the fernandez sustainer, one of vais secrets to how he keeps notes ringing for years and how he gets such high pitches without his whammy pedal!
He probably is, but that's not why the tone. He has an effect called "chorus" going on, which makes it sound like there are 2 guitars. Almost like a flanger, but way more subtle.
well isnt he playing it here... this is less than a year old... and evo does have a big crack in it right near the heel... but i saw him play it last year if nothing else
Much better tone here then on the previous one. I realize here that on both videos he is using a wah I believe, which may explain what I think is horrible tone on the first video. I still say Steve should study his buddy Andy Timmons more and cop some better tone. Andy is just as technical, writes in my opinion much more accessible songs, and has outstanding tone.

it's the name of his guitar, because he needed to tell which guitar had the evolution pick ups, he wrote EVO on it, similar story with FLO, but i dont quite know exactly

He can play a few trademarks all the time because... well he invented it and it's his trademark.
I am sure if 1 of the millions of youtube guitarist actually made it and became an innovator they'd always reuse created styles and phrasings.
In fact I am willing if we picked anyone here to play every day to an audience for 1 week, by the 2nd or 3rd day we'd be bored to death of seeing the same shit being used. There difference it would be plagiarized rubbish.

well flo has the fernandez sustainer, one of vais secrets to how he keeps notes ringing for years and how he gets such high pitches without his whammy pedal!

Poor EVO, it is in awful condition nowadays. No wonder, any normal guitar would of been long dead considering the way Vai abuses them :)

I think he is using the Jimini distortion pedal here. That's the reason the tone is a little weird : )
xpand123 2 years ago
He probably is, but that's not why the tone. He has an effect called "chorus" going on, which makes it sound like there are 2 guitars. Almost like a flanger, but way more subtle.

And also he's keeping the wah on but keeping it in one place for a lot of the time.

Much better tone here then on the previous one. I realize here that on both videos he is using a wah I believe, which may explain what I think is horrible tone on the first video. I still say Steve should study his buddy Andy Timmons more and cop some better tone. Andy is just as technical, writes in my opinion much more accessible songs, and has outstanding tone.

his tone is so ridiculous that my volume needs to be nearly off to not wake people XD I wish I had that tone.
