Hey, do you have tabs for this?! I've been trying to find a full set of tabs for this song for FOREVER!!! And with this being the most AMAZING cover I've seen period *other than vai himself of course* I'd like to learn how to play more than what I already have down (veeery beginning) of this beautiful song!
perfectly played !!! perfectly... one of the most beautiful songs of the world... the octave part is just a piece of art... ver very well played ... tone, feeling, teknik
@tiothe138 its called a direct line recording. no mic noise involved. audio and video were maybe a millisecond out of sync, so what. why must people always look for the negative. GOSH!
Beautiful. I always thought alot of what he did in this song was studio work. Did you use an eventide harmonizer, or is some of that just in your background track? Either way you nailed it. Steve would be proud.
Dude....rather amazing, my friend. Im blown away. Not just the technique but your mad attention to the tone of the original guitar. Thats not even a Floyd Rose trem and alot of the "snap" with Steves guitar in clean mode comes from that.
You somehow compensated with that Roland. Are you using some pickup effects of somesort, like ya know how some have single coil settings. Bravo man. You epically captured the snap of the tone and precision of the song. Epic win dude.
I gotta back this guy up here, lol. I was there 18 years ago and been playin since. This is a mad cover of this tune and its still my favorite Vai tune. I know half the sound but not with near the detail. A joy to watch...
hey man i have a question.. do you read music or play by ear and just have a really good feel of the guitar?? i'm only 17 an i love playing i just dont really want to learn to read music
Learning to read music is useful, but in terms of using music for a guitar is somewhat impractical, as there will be many different positions to play one note, and usually a run will need to be played in a certain position otherwise it will be ridiculously difficult :P But reading music is useful, but I doubt how effective it is for a guitar.
I am not saying it's not useful, I mean I play piano and saxophone too, and it's rather important for those 2. But drums really? I have never heard of that. It's a useful skill, but what I am getting is tab is better for guitar :P what does the drummer use is music reading ability for? just out of interest, all the drummers I know can not read music and are all pretty damn good :P
Drummers need to be able to read rhythms at least. Drummers also use staff notation, though different from most instruments, it is still written music to be read. I think a lot of rock and metal drummers can get away without being able to read music, but learning a song on drums without hearing someone else play it first would be pretty tough without the ability to read music.
This is true, but I thought you were talking about like more standard music, cause drum music and normal music are very different. But yeah I suppose drummers do have their own music :P
I've worked this song out. It took me two months to memorise the notes then a further two months to make it sound like an off the cuff improvisation. You can't struggle when you play this cos it will show. The hardest thing about this song is the feel. Nice playing just the same
great tone man! I prefer your tone to Steves. 99% of the song note for note perfect - just the timing on the harmonics after the intro at 0:47should have been earlier - have another listen to the original if you can be bothered :)
wtf are u on about, this guy is clearly playing it, if u think he isnt, then u are rather stupid! and the original sounds nothing like this in terms of tone etc...
im jealous but well that was great, and the real version is 7 minute long who would lie and do half a song...its unsettling how little fowksey knows about the tone of music
you are so fucking stupid, he obviously recorded the vid and recorded his guitar seperatly using a backing track and then mixed it with some program for better quality you stupid fucker
If i dont look at the video, i cant tell its not Steve Vai playing. Your tone is awesome. You should do more Vai covers man, your the best in tone and feel i have seen playing vai on here
How can someone dislike this :/ It's perfect! Thanx a lot for sharing this with us :)
