    This is a tribute to Hendrix with a lot of triads. The dvd commentary really helps to appreciate this album.

      If Jimi were still here, I bet he and Steve would be trading licks, and Steve would dazzle Jimi…but still go home kicking himself cos Jimi’s just so freakin’ brilliant.
      Anyways, yeah he probably would be honoured; he deserves this tune.

    Steve just plays what he likes which as it turns out, he's got a WIDE variety of genres he plays! this just happens to be one of them and his more edgy/shredding side is another.
    Ultimately, he puts feeling into everything he plays! look at Tender Surrender and see some of the expressions he does in that!

    • @MusicissuperiorEVHROX316
      @MusicissuperiorEVHROX316 9 місяців тому

      The feeling he puts into this one as well, especially for a song that’s half rhythm based…I heard this was a tribute to Hendrix, so he must have really deep respect for the man.

    I remember in my early beginnings at guitar, in the 2000, I bought a ''Jam With... Steve Vai'' book, and spent many many hours learning this song bar by bar, together with another one called ''Frank'' and ''Sisters''. I was so into Steve Vai in those days. I never mastered the songs to perfection, but I learned a whole lot about whammy bar and slides and hammer-ons, and they became part of my vocabulary to this day.
