@reldditmot right on man,I meant in a technical sense...frank was maybe the worlds greatest improviser.I've heard Vai mention a few times (look up his GIT seminar) that frank wasn't a very technical player that's why he hired guys to do it...but his brilliance was and will always be in creating that stuff....just little black dots from his head on to some paper....and wow!

[reldditmot]

@radgainesmaster He didn't hire guys to play the guitar though, he was the absolute master, although Vai & Dweezil are phenomenal players, IMO they can never come close to the mastery and wizadry that Frank had on guitar, he was also technically brilliant both composing for guitar and also his vast knowledge of guitar gear and equipment was second to none..Cheers for dropping by!

What a magnificent jam! MUCH better than most of the G3 monster jams. Is this "Variations on the Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression"?

@FreedomZealot No it's Trouble Every Day..

Christ I just got a boner and then it exploded

My favorite part is when Steve plays the guitar

@FreedomZealot Reason being, at G3 monster jams, it's like a competition. Here they're just making music, playing what's necessary and not worrying about who's faster! haha

Does anyone know which specific model of SG is that?

[henrique773]

frank should be proud, wherever he is =)

I believe what Steve said about Frank is that Frank was not a 'virtuoso' on guitar meaning he wasn't trained in school in all the techniques like Steve was. He also said that Frank's playing was incredibly difficult and "cryptic" which is what made it so hard to reproduce. I believe that FZ was one of the most innovative and creative guitarists ever, his rhythmic phrases were so advanced, he played some of the most beautiful melodies and the tone and texture unparallelled.

@daytradeshow Complex setup doesnt mean better sound.

Realize: Steve Vai is on an Ibanez. It's got the hottest pickups and he plays that guitar through the most processed amp. The Ibanez Steve plays is a formula-1 race car, a jet, or a slinky-surgical instrument. Dweezil is on an SG. Through an amp. Dude, if you play and understand the instrument you realize just how amazing Dweezil is and how much he pulls out of that SG. I NEVER would have dreamed this pairing on THOSE instruments would turn out so evenly-matched. WOW.
