Steve Vai Vs Eugene Nicolo Paganini, Caprice No 5 Crossroads Guitar Duel

[Radiofranz]

Que puta hace le karate kid con una guitarra! XD

[YogendimeB]

eugene's playing is so fake we can tell as we ourselves are guitarist too....but good acting though

[MrDizzyvonclutch]

and i'm a not practicing now for what reason!?!?!

[haubsen]

its funny when u look at vais fingers u can already see how ridiculously good he is

[hmm2112]

It's a bit ridiculous to have Butler 'lose' because he couldn't 100% perfectly play a piece he'd only just heard. Though to be fair the whole film is ridiculous..

[DanteSteel]

omg..my balls shriveled when that guitar hit the floor at 2:14

[MrVerao9]

what is name's music!?

thx

[JPalvesvideos]

@MrVerao9 Caprice No 5

[reverb2020x]

So Vai shoulda brought his jem......with maybe the addition of 24 frets instead of 22 he mighta beat the karate kid.

[paololaunion]

vai could have won

[Leonard3882]

Rewind, rewind, rewind.................

[666pecker666]

I think steve vai was born with yngwie's dick already in his mouth. Y.M. FTW

[msumungo]

As a teacher, do not teach The Steps to the disciple, because if you teach The Steps to the disciple, the disciple will kill the teacher.

On the contrary, get laid. Yeah!

[vexamatic]

Hey if I was the devil and getting laid with the singing and dancing girls, I wouldn't be brushing up on my Paganini either. Steve definitely was the right casting for the part I would say.

[matt2eadgbe]

Karate Kid not only plays it perfectly... he does it without a pick.

The student has become the master.

[ezrhino100]

steve needs to brush up on his classical scales.

[panzerfaust96]

I wonder how much they had to pay Vai messup and how that conversation must've gone.

Director: (says quietly) urhhmm, in this scene you play Eugene's trick bag and messup.

Vai: [Slowly getting pissed]... what?

[Imsleazy666]

this is stupid. i cant belive they made a movie with the karate kid doing this. hes fucking stupid.

[phallystorm]

You gotta Love movies like this where at the end the underdog pulls out something that no one knew about. A hidden talent that was concealed all along. Like ROCKY when he went South Paw , and kicked major ASS/ Everyone knows that Steve Vai was the one who did the tracks in the movie along with Ry Cooder, and that their Talents alone Kick Major credos.

[ShapeShiftTheWorld]

lol. a 21 fretter can reach that note while Vai's 24 cant... i nrver understood that..

[phallystorm]

@ShapeShiftTheWorld Not only that, but listen closely to Ralph's last chord in this caprice. You can hear a cello, and a violin!! Where can I get a Tele like that>?

[ShapeShiftTheWorld]

@phallystorm xD !!

[vasilios1994]

steve is trying so hard to mess up

[sbrave]

Still one of Vai's best tones, studio or not, and that red Charvel is bad ass!!!

[THESOUNDCONSTRUCT]

Vai vs Chuncky Sirloin Burger Stew....CSBS destroys him every time!

[SeaOfTrees78]

I wonder how hard Steve had to try to fuck up.

[BendyStrawhat]

one of the greatest moments in musical memory. Steve Vai being beaten by the devil.

[3875521]

Great movie, but I see how Steve had to focus on making this mistake xD His fingers wanted to go further :D

[NinaJedwardLover]

I want to see this movie! Amazing!

[zelt141]

what film is this?

[kingv911]

this movie was completely unmemorable...and then Steve Vai was cast.

[jon3266]

He should get his soul refunded

[jazztifiable]

Actually...Steve Vai is playing both parts ...He beat himself

[NozeDive1]

@jazztifiable No actually Ry Cooder did one part and Steve Vai did the other...

[MessengerOD]

@NozeDive1 Nope. Ry did the blues parts only. The rock and classical parts were done by Steve.

[TheSchafer78]

@jazztifiable no, steve only played his own part. Ralpm Macchio's part was played by the blues guitarist that recorded all the blues stuff.

[captross07]

@TheSchafer78 Ry Cooder only did the slide and "bluesy" stuff. Macchio's super-awesome classical solo at the end - Vai.

[YogendimeB]

@jazztifiable we all know that..!!!haha

[Luckzzz]

Steve..buy a guitar with 24 frets HAHAHA.. My problem sometimes :)

[judhin4rr1]

to make it more belivable they shuldnt have chose this GOD......

[q1w2e3470]

who is beather , idiots

[TheDavidJayPaw]

lol at him "playing" the high b on a tele.

[freitasnetuno]

WP Daniel San!

[SiK0Fuzz1es]

2:10 = Steve Vai thinking, "That's it, I rage quit. Fuck my life this game is shit."

[sunnyjim98]

1:48 "if i had a 24th fret i woulda beat that little half italian's ass! fuck this shit, im goin to Ibanez! imma make my own guitar with 2!!! more frets! yeah..."

and that is how the Jem was born...

[paolomanueldec]

@sunnyjim98 Vai is half italian too... just like Zappa, Satriani, Cuccurullo, Di Meola, Frusciante, Chris Impellitteri, Petrucci, Richie Sambora... quite a few

[astclair]

there was an actual movie made around this scene?

[Agnostyx13]

01:23 : Steve Vai fails :  absolute fiction ^^

[johny2471]

pierdolone reklamy!!!!!

[gloris57bard1]

Смотрю этот фильм раз наверное сороковой! И восторгаюсь мастерством "МАСТЕРА Гитары" Стива Вайя! Я снимаю перед ним шляпу! Сам гитарист,учусь по его школе..И,признаться,давно..

[silviocesarlizarraga]

I love that black dancing hot chick

[devourment8800]

0:00 rafiki from the lion king?

[DeniseInChains]

@devourment8800 :)))

[frankthebegginer]

its all 'bout wax :D

[skategangster]

Always loved the part where he just drops his axe..

[deanxleong]

... He's playing without a pick...

IMPOSSIBRU

[pipsqueek14]

@deanxleong nah, i play without a pick a lot. i can get some hi speed thinies without a pick

[knuckleheadzup01]

steve didnt fuck up. its actually him playing it. Why? cos i got the making of it on vid - ;)

[jose044]

Damm, steve must have had a hard time recording the part where he fucks up!!!

[radu156]

aahhaa forte!

[ChienJaune01]

Karate kid's hand movement are actually quite plausible. They at least tried to get it right.

Also, that's the only part of the movie that anyone watches more than once (if at all).

[LolEYEHasFun]

@ChienJaune01 its pretty off, especially when he does the arpeggio in the begining he goes to like the 13 fret

[ChienJaune01]

@LolEYEHasFun "Pretty off" is actually quite good in the realm of movie verisimilitude, is what I'm saying. More often than not, they do not give a flying Miyagi.

[LolEYEHasFun]

@ChienJaune01 oh cool dude

[MrDizzyvonclutch]

@ChienJaune01 no, i have seen the whole movie at least 8 times through, and here i am again watching this part, but i have to say i have seen this part at least 100 times!

[delta9LouDog]

@ChienJaune01 naw man he's way off learn the major scale and you'll be like the fuck dis nigga doin, but ya at least he tried

[SCRex0472]

...probably already been said, but Steve played the recorded solo for Karate Kid!

[givemeajackson]

then jsaon becker came along and blew them away...

[thesandman775]

Vai is the worst faker in the history of the world. He's so good he can't even fake sucking.

[Margalus89]

is Crossroads the title of the movie?

[MrShredder666]

@Margalus89 yes mate



[Margalus89]

@MrShredder666 do you know other movies like this for other instruments?

[MrShredder666]

@Margalus89 no mate sorry i dont

[Margalus89]

@MrShredder666 well nevermind, thanks i'll check this one :)

[ptoyadmirator1]

Daniel San, vencio con paciencia, muchiiiisimas horas de encerar-pulir/ encerar-pulir. jajajajaja

[CosmicSPC]

Karate kid lets roll ! ! !

[zerointurn]

it wasn't an idanez JEM....so its broken

[ToastedCigar]

It's Daniel LaRusso playing guitar.

[fantasmadewilde]

Es bueno hasta para equivocarse el tipo :-p

[polenta123]

karate kid?

[italiavergogna]

è più difficile far finta di sbagliare che suonare bene in un film!stimo steve vai anche in questi finti errori

[ja73ni]

crossroad,yeahhh...

[bilibalala]

hes not even holding a pick in his hand lolol finger picking my ass

[miyavizim]

@bilibalala Finger picking is picking with fingers (duh), no pick is required unless you're doing hybrid picking..

[bilibalala]

@miyavizim ihope ur joking.. why is a newb telling me the difference of technique? I was making fun of his fake shit because he wasnt shredding with a pick and you cant do that stufff neoclassical stuff with finger picking you dipshit.

[TheRichardson96]

@bilibalala Yeah you can... You just have to be really good at finger picking.

[bilibalala]

@TheRichardson96 no you cant.. i said neoclassical not classical... theres a difference.. u think im not aware of classical guitarist picking with fingers? I've seen a chinese girl on youtube doing it on paganini's song many years ago..

[BenCarriganx]

The funniest thing about it that steve vai his the one who did all the guitar soundtracks in that movie

[coltsuperocean10]

@BenCarriganx ... the funniest thing is that actually a lot of the guitar playing in the film was by Ry Cooder, who did most of the soundtrack. I am happy to put you straight on that point.

[Traumglanz]

@coltsuperocean10

You are right, except that for the final duel, which only the beginning of it is by ry cooder, the finish is all vai.

[havelant]

Steve f*cking up? No way.. Have to see this movie..

[poetofdamnation]

@havelant Well that's why it's a movie, it's fictional and therefore Vai can f*ck up in it ;d

[Traumglanz]

@havelant

Actually he is playing both for the final of the guitar duel.

[Rvgrungeman]

@havelant lol.... Steve Vai is the guy who dubbed for Eugene's charachter :P ...

[oldGnRrocks1]

@havelant my guitar teacher said that he had trouble f*cking up when they recorded this movie, and steve vai recorded ralphs part

[havelant]

@oldGnRrocks1

Yeah, he's so epic, he even has troubles with fucking up.

[oldGnRrocks1]

@havelant ikr!

[screamincheetaaah]

@havelant I agree. It must have been in the script LOL! :-)

[kakkashin]

@havelant He's not really fucking up :D. Even though you prolly knew it already

[LolEYEHasFun]

@havelant it was scripted man, I was upset too until i found that out.
