- Guitar Center Sessions presents an exclusive masterclass with Steve Vai. Vai, who helped establish the shred guitar phenomenon in the Eighties, and transcended the genre from the very beginning becoming a legendary guitarist in his own right. Vai has remained as popular and influential as ever thanks to his adventurous, exploratory spirit, which constantly reveals new possibilities for the guitar.
If you like him or not you have to admit, he takes that guitar and dominates it.
He fingers it real good to show who’s boss
Tushar Sharma not really my style of music but I’ve started to open up more to him as I’ve gotten into technique and theory
I am a BIG BIG BIG fans of him....
He sure does,....I mean it's even a little crazy; Heaven only knows where he gets this stuff.
😀😀😀well asian kids knows how to dominates better than him in my humble opinion, ain't trying to offend but i like steve vai shredding more than this whammy bar squel type, don't understand why he only used whammy most of the time it doesn't sound good unlike dimebag who does used it but only at some part like in the end of the song cemetary gates.....
For those trolling about no melody, etc, this was just a "studio" impro piece, useful when the performer wants to show different techniques to the audience. If you want to listen to Steve's phenomenal phrasing and melodies, go buy his records.
@snackajack117 are you a fucking donut
@snackajack117 You probably only listened to 2 minutes of one of his records and automatically hated him
People really think playing impro is easy , try doing it without hitting a single note out of scale like steve here . .. while still being on time with the metronome
Anyone who cant hear the melody doesn't have a musical ear
There's an aesthetic to his playing, not just musically but physically. He actually used to practice in front of the mirror, because he wanted his playing to look as good as it sounds.
i fucking like this style. neither happy, neither sad. just cold rock. and yet with feeling. does this make sense? whatever, i like.
Sickingly Neutral i call it
His control and guitar iq allows this abstract and avant-garde melody to flow beautifully.
one thing that's so awesome with Steve is not only he can write those beautiful guitar licks but also build a very good composition for drums, rhythm guitars, violins, or anything that you could hear in his records. It all sounded like it was written by a professional to that certain instrument.. it's really a proof that he's more than a genius guitarist.. he's truly a genius musician and composer...
I think Steve is an amazing guitar player with a very expressive feel and his ears and fingers capture every little noise that a guitar string makes. I saw him LIVE in '86 for the Roth tour and he was a fabulous entertainer too.
Imagine rolling outta bed every morning and jamming like that...awesome.
So creative ..his entire approach to the guitar is insane yet no one comes close to his note choice and expression or creativity . I listen to so much music and for me to say that means something
Imagine if all the people who went to play at Guitar Center played like him.
They only do that in the guitar center in heaven
That’s why you can only imagine, because no one can
the man is clearly fluent in ever single guitar way!!! amazing!
Zappa left some fine influence in Steve's playing in this piece! Fine job my friend and the flashes of Frank were just so tasty! Keep on keepin him alive in the delivery of your style! Thanks!
Awesome! You inspire many guitarists in the whole world! Thanks!
Master!! I Love the music of this man!!
i love to watch him improvise!
I’ve just been totally inspired !!! TO BECOME AN ACCOUNTANT !!!
such awesome improv!
This is super the way he play the gitar.keep it up it is real good.
An amazing guy... he changed guitar history... only that!
Mind blown once again
I’m amazed
Imagine if you went to a guitar center and actually seen one of his guitars.....
There’s a place by my house that has 3 for like wayyy over priced but still it was pretty dope to walk in and see them
Probably the only guitar I've never played at any guitar center
Quite a few at my guitar center
Imagine owning one
Using the Legacy II’s here I see. Finally a video of him playing them 👍
He is one of the few that truly uses the whammy bar in a musical way
steve vai needs his OWN category... like a level above just being a guitarist... he can shred along ..and hold you on just one bent note...like that note was better than all the hundreds he just played... all the previous was just a lead up to that pinnacle.... superb artist..!
Admirably inventive.
Excelente, aguante Steve
A guitar god to be sure.
His fingers move so quick it's insane.
Vai has his own passion...and so do mr.satch,
Now...there are a lot of guitarists, but
Only a few of them were legend.
carakenio than you have watch vai's acoustic performance!
One word...."Mastery".
Love his Bogner phase
this man has astral projects and becomes one with the whammy
Epic
i like it
one creative way to make a possible guitar buyer to back away....
Im not a huge dan of his music style But hell What a Nice person. I Also like that when You do listen to him a few times improvise he tends to play in a similar way. That’s Just his personal style, Who doesnt love a person with his own style
I like his shoes
He is icon. He's down to earth, guy next door. Steve Vai, perfection in his way. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Im.convinced....he can make any sound he wants out of that guitar...no problem.
you're right, he totally killed him
Manis Sekali...!!
The backing track sounds like Building the Church
I like John 5 and Steve vai
@0deer0se "Building The Church", he's jamming over the bass riff mostly. He does a similar jam on the Minneapolis DVD
Guitar GOD 👍👍👌👌🤘🤘
E muita lavanca com o steve vai .hahaha tento entender porque ja tentei tocar por aqui e achei bem mais facil do que tocar um estilo musical como blues com slash e malmsteen!
That depends on what instrument it is and who's playing said instrument
I kinda like this :)
He is a god!
my brain hurts from this
wow that was a tasty jam!
nobody:
Steve Vai: Playing guitar
Subtitles:yes
Whats the lil green thing on his neck pick up? an extra pick? pick holder? Halp interweb pls!!!
@switch0123 he is holding two notes and pushing down on the tremalo, meaning the two notes go out of tune because they are on difrent frets so that make a wabble sound :)
Hes a fucking magician
DIS ONEZ DA BEZTIZT!!!!
Mr. Steve Vai
Daaammnn.. now dat der boy cun plays da fiddles!
The green thing is just a price of tape over the bottom of his neck pickup, to keep the high E string from getting caught in it when he dives with the whammy bar.
@monkeybutlers1234 because guitar hero cant cope with the sheer awesomeness that comes from this mans fingertips :D
Does anyone know the model of the blue ibanez with the cream colored HSH pickups on the wall behind him?
Ohh look at those elegant beauties he got
And that drummer was amazing!! Anyone know who that guy was? Wow.
Dave moskot honestly it seems to be a virtual GarageBand drummer
i want those shoes hes got
I like his shoes....
@TEMPA01 Perhaps Ibanez should consider designing fans for Steve.. one that would be an integral part of his pedal board (controlled by a foot switch).
at certain points in the vid you see a price tag for that guitar in the background. i couldnt tell what it was but it was vintage and cost $14,000........
how can there possibly be dislikes on this?
Anybody have a link on the backing track?
Ahahahah. Hes like the godfather of harmonics and vibrato.
@ShadowLancer128 yes but its not really that simple, there are certain things that do make one "better" that another and, well steve vai has most of those things, though when comparing a certain caliber of musucian, i do agree, it is just a matter of preference.
the best part is his shoes
@DarkWriter31
maybe you known this now but its and improv, over a repeated part of "building the church" .... sorry for my english
@Footballzeal well it is a steve vai video. what did u expect?
00:26 - 00:30 whats that shaking effect sound???? incredible!
That's the distortion and beating inherent within the dissonant minor second interval being amplified and made prominent by high gain settings. Sorry you had to wait so long for an answer.
Lots of feeling and i think most guitarists lack that today is feel.. You go to every guitar shop and everyone is playing as fast as they can.. But no feel.. With the pros they have a good balance..
How does he keep track of the frets?
What's the name of this piece? Or was it just a jam? Very cool.
Killer...
Onde consigo a Backing track???
Does anyone know the name of the backing track he's using here? I'd love to jam to it sometime

Te melhor do que esse cara
lol he was spinning the fuck out with some of those licks, he is human after all x)
2:53 leopard skin shoes FTW...
I’m honestly surprised that Satriani has a video that’s 2 years newer and with over 2 million views filmed in the same place and this has less than 300k😒 fuck that micro Mr Clean! Steve needs more views, he is a god!
It's like aliens communicating via radio waves.
@ADollsHouse420 Yeah I agree man those Jonas Brothers have insane gutiar chops lol
Don't jugde the whole guitar player just by one song.
Please, You can say that you didn't like this song and etc.
But its Steve is undoubtable one of the most brilliant guitar players of all time. And who plays and who understands music. Knows that! Tecnique is just unbelievable, try the same or better than him. Then we can talk;
2:25 HOW DOES HE DO IT
@ADollsHouse420
Im amazed, Get yourself signed and produce an album.
Back in the day my old guitar teacher told me that Steve Via had a requirement if you wanted to play along with him, you'd had to practice 15hrs. a day. Don't doubt that at all.
carakenio have you not heard his acoustic songs, improvisations and clean songs?
@RickSantosMD
YES!! Meaningless i tell you!! Its Steve Vai ffs.. You think he came there to have a rythms only session?? Maybe show how to make waffels??
what is justin derrico play here
It was so awesome to sit right up front about 5 feet away from him watching this. That whole night was awesome. Steve was so cool to all of us.What a great guy.
1% of the soul Zack Wilde plays with
@RickSantosMD thats nice. just know that until he dies millions of people will give their money to steve vai in order to listen or see him play. your snide comments over the internet will never change anything ever
whats the green thing on his guitar for. i thought i would question you guys instead of the master
Keeps his pick from getting caught in the pick up when he’s up picking.
