@Dusankk He is not just a virtuoso, he is more then that, since he is just using his virtuoism as a tool to make the spiritual music he is making. And Bach is an innovator, but his music is actually quite simple, like most classical pieces. When you apply music theory you'll notice classical music is very basic in it's nature...that ofcourse is the beauty of it, but Vai has something you'll need to understand before you can appreciate it, just like Zappa.

@PhilosopherOnWeed Well if you mean innovation, you could listen to good old J.S. Bach who is the inventor of most of modern music, not just classical and to listen to his music you'll need lot more intelligence and bigger IQ to get the point. Steve did not invented boiling water, he is just an virtuoso, but far from Paganini and such innovators. Imagine spending 24 h a day jerking up and down on a scale, sniffing to speed up and the result is mental and musical masturbation

@flextoneibanez Doesn't your comment just contradict itself in every sentence? Geeks : Science | Tone : 30 Years ago?!? {:o\
-
@flextoneibanez Uh, vai IS an old player from 30 years ago. He got his start with zappa in 1980. Odd how you are into something you say you aren't.
-
@flextoneibanez Um. Vai has been around for 30 years.
Also your saying something is wrong with guitar players like VH, Clapton, Joe Perry, Hendrix because they don't talk about the "science" of music????
-
@Dusankk You have no idea what you are talking about...but well...to appreciate Vai you need a certain ammount of musical intellect.

@flextoneibanez Some of those old players, you're underestimating, were one of the best musicians in this era, and Steve Vai is a little kid compared to them. I never liked his jerking sound and technique where music in fact loses its soul and it becomes endless loop of speedy scales and jerking all around in chromatic and pentatonic. Listen for Joe Pass for example, that's real music, harmony, soul, and he barely crosses 1/32 note, with a lovely sounding guitar, not this metal jerking rod...

@flextoneibanez u know vai used to wear leopard print tarzan shorts on stage 30 years ago when he was playing for Frank. I like Vai but his innovation didn't come out of thin air.

@flextoneibanez This is for MUSICIANS in general. Not just guitarist. And I do happen to be a guitarist.
This is why I'm a Steve Vai fan. This is for guitarists and not geeks. We're into music and the science behind it. Much prefer the soul and feeling of innovators and not old players from 30 years ago.....
