This is the Steve Vai interview I have been looking for forever. The composition topics, the musician topics, all great pieces to pick from the Master's mind. Thanks Kip
❤ You are a man of many talents
Steve has always managed to surf his way thru the ups and downs while other artists fell. He has always stay relevant but still true to himself and his art. Respect!
Pay closer attention to the edits. My statement could go more.
I knew Steve Vai was a composer since June 1990. Best composer alive today.
I absolutely loved this interview. I recommend this to every single musician even if you’re not a Steve Vai fan.
Steve Vai is very inspirational in style personality and guitar or in other words in mind body and soul. 😎 ✌
This is absolutely it with Steve Vai - the harmonic language. His tendencies, taste, feelings. The technical toolbox is out of this world and it still isn't "the thing" about his music. It's why he's Steve Vai and there are hundreds of other shred people shredding but not making music to the degree of sophistication that he has and does.
Steve Vai seems very down to earth, incredibly talented guy
'even with parameters, its infinite' WONDERFUL!!!! DOES THAT NOT DESCRIBE THE UNIVERSE!
“That’s a great point, and I make that point all the time.”
That’s the most “Kip Winger” a quote can get. ❤
VAI 🤗
I just cant imagine what it must be like to understand music on a level to where u can just write out on paper what you hear..... then hire people to play it. Never had the discipline for it. Gotta be an amazing feeling to be at that level.
Thanks, Kip. I really enjoyed this.
I have been a guitarist for 42 years and just recently discovered that closing my eyes opened up my playing and writing.
Incredible guys, this is absolutely incredible! Thank you both so much for doing this, incredibly inspiring! More of this Kip, please!
The first time I have seen steve bested on the subject of classical.Kip was throwing out so many terms which implies he has a stronger foundation.
Steve is a GENIUS but Kip is blowing my mind...you would just never have known this is the same guy that composed " seventeen" 😂😂😂
I am always inspired hearing Steve talk. He could have easily taken a different vocational path as a motivational speaker or a therapist if he wanted.
Kip and Steve HAVE to do a composition together.
Dammit, I needed to hear Steve Vai's words when I was 20...but it IS good advise at any age. Shaman of Rock is right Kip!
but would we have listened? lol..
Love Steve's work with Frank.
Watched parts 1 & 2...Best and most inspirational interview I've ever seen...Thanks...
When I studied Beethoven, and heard the Neapolitan 6ths I started perking up and started hearing more in-depth in the CPP. Wagner and Stravinsky were also favorites. I actually loved Babbitt, Cage, Williams and Copeland..... Tiramisu comes on a small plate..... some harmonically rich music may be tough on first listen. I loved this interview Kip. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! I recently did a deep dive into Wagner, I can't believe I waited so long. So much incredible music.
@KipWingerTV truth! Tell Reb I used to own his old Kitty Hawk I got from Stan Cotey in Nashville. Stan is now at Fender. Hoping to catch y'all in TN soon! New album is incredible!
Met Both Of These Amazing Music Colleagues! All Love -CeeHimself
Kip, you have incredible interview Chops! I hope you do more of these in the near future. Subbed
Big fan of Kip and Steve, I've just discovered this channel and I've immediately subscribed. This interview is so much interesting, thanks!
These two videos with Steve Vai are absolutely intriguing. I seriously wish they can go on for hours. Great job.
That was so inspiring! I dream of your conversation with Geddy Lee. Two great musicians, two bassists, two multi-instrumentalists. You, Kip are a man of many talents, so you can talk to every big artist as equals.
Greetings from Poland!
Wow! These interviews are very deep, formative and inspirational! Thank you Kip and Steve! Kip, see you next week in Columbus!
It would be incredible if Steve would collaborate with Kip on a solo album.
Listening to Steve Vai when he talks is like therapy!
EXCELLENT
Finally...seriously... finally someone asking good quality questions and having great conversations with Steve. I'm grateful that you didn't ask what type of picks/strings/guitar he uses lol!
Thank you!
Very entertaining interview, Kip. Love Steve Vai! Who can we look forward to next?
Kip Winger is such a superhero alter ego name.
This interview transcends the creative device the creator is submerged in, be it an instrument, a genre, vocal, visual, sculptural or poetic. Every point on a map Kip makes a journey to, Steve opens up a dialog about. This is good stuff.
Appreciate it!
So many layers to Kip Winger. Winger, Kip Solo, symphonies, ballet, etc. These interviews and podcasts I watch, every layer so very interesting as time goes by. He's always absorbing, teaching and sharing. Kip is such an intriguing man. Intelligence in a word.
Gratitude & Appreciation🎶💯
I Love these conversations and could listen to you for hours. I didnt know of Steve until these videos, he is very interesting. I cant wait for the next video! Good Night and God Bless You Kip!
I so love this interview. Both artists here are so inspiring❤
So true …you are both incredible!
My ego was looking forward to part 2. loool
Thank you Kip!
Inherited conditioned responses. Love it! The animal survival part of our brain is real. Need for acceptance is how we learn from a baby. The trick is growing up and discovering the real me. We are each unique and enough. Knowing is beyond believing. Like it.
Accepting the paradox.
Incredible interview
Excellent Interview, greetings from Colombia!
Love Steve’s honesty 🎸
Two greats
Thanks for this infallibly amazing interview. It’s quite rare to watch Steve discuss his works as a composer with his peers in the rock community, and it only fascinates me so much because I have always wanted to see an expansive elaboration of how Steve navigates himself both as a rock guitar virtuoso and an esteemed composer, much like yourself Kip. It is very eloquent to see him present his artistic sensibilities in both those worlds. Cheers and thanks to you Kip, for articulating this so well… looking further for if there’s any part 3… :))
I appreciate it! Thank you!
amazing
Killer. Thanks.
Thanks for wonderful interview Kip! Do more!
Thank you for this interview. Love you both.
This was a great interview and I was blown away by Steve’s enormous talent. Prior to listening this, I was aware of his guitar virtuosity; now that I have experienced his compositional work, he is truly a musical genius.
Really enjoying these interviews! Thank you.
Fantastic, Loved this.
2 favorite musicians....
Hey Kip! This is incredible. Thank you for sharing and please keep these coming
Truly loved every minute of this! ❤
Amazing interview!
Love both these guys so much ! Such inspiration of love, music , and being you writing music !
💙
watching these two amazing men and listening to the way they build the arrangements is inspired. love them both❤❤
I can only hope we get an new episode every week for years and years to come … thank you
These interviews with Steve were awesome. I would love to see some more similar ones in the future!
This just gets better and better, really great discussion with proper questions
Equally love these two masterminds. Thanks would watch a million of these
Great great interview! Loved it!!
Thank you , hope this is not the last part!
Great interview Kip
What a fabulous conversation/interview! Great job. Thank you!
Cool interview
Always great to hear from you both. Loved Steve's comments about inspiration that's for you as well as inherited beliefs... so true. Also, "criticism is good for you." Wow! Thanks again Kip! Thanks Steve!
Ready for Part III. Such an interesting conversation. 💛
Great Interview! Two great musicians and composers. Not just a musical interview... philosophical and spiritual. Great!!!
What a special interview! Fantastic! So insightful and personal. Thanks for this
Hats off Kip.. what an amazingly inspired interview!
This was pure gold, thanks for an amazing interview here Kip. Good luck in your endeavours man.
This guys such a legend! Thanks for this interview, really has helped me to appreciate little known artists pioneering new genre’s like Gran Hechicero, much love and thanks again!
Winger Vaibrations 🎶👍
That. Was. Exceptional! Beyond the great tips for budding composers, the life tips can apply to anyone, creative or no. Interesting how Vai's answer to how you know when a piece is finished was so different than Parsons'! (the knowing) Agree that it's key to celebrate the accomplishments of others too. Our challenges definitely lead us to the cruxificion of the old us to create an improved version(if we're listening). Bravo both of you, so good!
Thank you!
@@KipWingerTV de nada! Such a unique convo
I wonder who Kip wants to interview next. Looking forward to it!
My wife and I we're lucky enough to see Steve at Westbury on Long Island. Where he performed lotus feet ! My wife was an RN and never cried at anyting had tears in her eye and said it was the most beautiful piece of music she never heard ! She never played anything but she was a sponge for music a wealth of knowledge and open-minded to many genres ! In 2014 Lorraine passed away. Everytime I hear that song of course it tears me apart with the mighty grip of music powerful stuff ! But how it can cradle us also and somehow in the end leave us laughing ! 😢😊😂 Remember the central scrutinizer warned us that music can make you crazy LOL ! Try intonating a Floyd Rose that will really make you crazy 🤣 !
Loved these interviews Kip! Such great questions and the kind of things I've always wanted to hear his perspective on. Big fan of your work overall as well Kip, your solo albums are amazing as is your orchestral works.
Many thanks for uploading this conversation. It is a great series. If you find the time it would be very cool to have more of these. It would also be very cool some interviewing you about your career as a classical composer, because I really appreciate that side of you not many people in the rock world know about. All the best Kip!
That three note thing reminds me of how Gran Hechicero composes, forms such a cool rhythm!
Thank you for this, it is fantastic. Where can we hear this music? Oil of Smoke and more
Thanks, a lot for sharing this unik interview with all of us. Huge respect for Steve Vai and I love the ol´ black/white picture in the background. F.Z. have had a profound influence on me, most of my life. Both as a Devine musician/composer and his bright personality. And the same goes for Mr. Steve Vai. Awesome!!!!
so satisfying vai mention modern Composer Ianis xenkis,Igor Strainsky,Gyorgy Ligetti or i saw some interview on his ipod playlist also Edgard Varese. and lets not forger elliot carter.thanks kip, for digging the other guitar stuff from him..
What a great interview!! Greetings from Brazil!! Kip, I remember when you came to my hometown, Ribeirão Preto, you played at a bar called Vila Dionísio, it was awesome. Hope you come back some day!!🤩
How awesome would be a project of this two genius gentlemen 🎸🎤😎. Just a thought 🤟
This is food for the musician's soul. Thank you Steve and Kip for bringing philosophy and intellect to the rock music conversation. The only way this could be any better would be if Billy Sheehan, Stewart Copeland and Neil Peart were involved with a round table. Huzzah!
What a wonderful interview.
If you pay closer attention to the edits, then it is garbage.
Another excellent interview. On another note, on the intro tune, is that the Logic click track I'm hearing?
So good, this interview seemed like it was over in 5 minutes. Could listen to these two guys talk for hours
Kip, this is amazing! Thank you for doing all of these. Having said that (and feel free to delete this comment, btw), could it be that the version of "Monster" you are using for the intro has some sort of audible click track bounced with it? Once again, great stuff and thanks for sharing these great conversations! Cheers from Argentina.
Vai introduce zappa sound to guitar heroes, Vai is amazing!!
This was an extremely interesting and inspiring conversation.
At first, I thought you were correct. No. Watch the interview again and look out for the edits
Love Midget, was in his band before he moved to Nashville
Lol
I really appreciate him but I only really love about four or five songs of his. When ever is bluesy rock, I'm down
Do you have the link where Steve "download" all his music ?
Thank you Kip for asking the questions that I suppose many of us have been wanting to ask Steve (and you!). Important clues about Higher Energies (Akash) to be learned here 😉
I agree with you. They are open and working with the Divine. Mastery on all levels. Peace to you. 🌹 ♾ 🌹
Wow! Such an incredible conversation I’m so curious to hear your music now!
One question I’ve been curious about for a while and I’m not sure if it’s discussed is I hear an uncanny similarity ( in spirit and motific/ rhythmic contour ) between Vai’s Ballerina 12/24 ( from Passion and Warfare )and Paul Hindemith’s “ Interludium. Fast” from Ludus Tonalis ( it would be track 9 on a recording by Ivo Jensenn). Is it just me or does anyone hear it as well? I’m curious if Mr. Vai had heard or had been aware of the Hindemith d prior or during recording Passion and Warfare .thank you
Interesting question, I'll ask him and try to get an answer. My music can be heard here:

Thank you!
@@KipWingerTV wow. Thank you so much for replying to this . Again what a beautiful exchange.
What do they think about ELP? Especially Keith Emerson compositions.
