    In this lesson, I am teaching you my interpretation of the 'Big Trouble' guitar solo tapping section. This a passage that I am sure has eluded many players for a long time. But no longer!!
    Feeling proud of myself. One day, I woke up one day and couldn't play this solo, and by the end of the day, I had it down! This was always one of my bucket list solos which I am really happy to share. How @SteveVaiHimself came up with this I have no idea!

    I would rather listen to this guy all day than alot of famous, big name guitarists. He is right up there, or better than most of them. In my humble opinion. Keep it up mr. Cooper!!

    I know, Steve Vai has some great solos, but this is my favourite. When I bought the album in 1986, I listened to it at least ten times in a row. Big Trouble endlessly, and cranking up the volume until the windows rattle. Cameron, you do it very well, and you explain very well how to do it. Now continue with the remaining solos on the album.🤟🤟

    Beautifully done Cameron. There was an interview with Steve Vai in Oct 1986's Guitar Player magazine (which included a flexidisc of Blue Powder, way before Passion and Warfare came out). Steve talks about most of the songs from Eat 'Em & Smile, and it was a fascinating read. My copy is long gone, but after seeing this video nostalgiaI prompted me to order one fron ebay, and it arrived yesterday. I forgot that it included a transcription by Steve himself of this solo!!! (Amazingly, my "new" copy included the flexidisc).

    This is why Vai is truly an original... I hear this as lydian dominant in E... but, I'm sure he just played it... his note selection is really rather brilliant.

    • @DaveElwoodCutter
      @DaveElwoodCutter 9 місяців тому

      I think he was 100% aware of it having a lydian dominant sound and consciously aimed for that sound. Steve's a genius

    I think the biggest challenge of this tappiing bit is getting a solid grip on the tempo and locking it into the groove. I was able to bring it up to a decent speed in about a day, but now I find myself needing to slow it down again and figure it out on the backing track. This is mostly due to its peculiar, almost 'free form' style, which is typical of tapping patterns in Steve's solos. Do you have any tips on your process when it came to locking it into the track?

    • @CameronCooper

      Good question. To put it into context with this video, get to the end of section 4 in time for the chord change.

    • @herbcanter2114
      @herbcanter2114 Рік тому

      Nobody compares to Eddie . There is just something about Edward that no other guitarist in history has and it's almost impossible to explain but I'll give you an example of what I mean . Steve Vai being Frank Zappa's guy used to be at Franks house all the time playing guitar . Dweezil despite always being around to witness it was absolutely OBSESSED with Eddie , that's all he talked about . When Eddie visited the great Jason Becker at his home Jason's parents told Eddie that Jason says you're the greatest ever . There were a ton of other amazing guitarists around but everybody including every guitar publication on the planet focused and obsessed over Eddie . Eddie himself never asked or wanted any of the fame as he despised interviews but he was the whole package, he was a true freak that wasn't from this planet . He changed everything .

      LOL, nothings better than classic VH . Steve just like every other guitarist on the planet took what Eddie started and did their own thing but it all started with the great Edward . Nobody comes close to having the impact of VH did and nobody ever will . People who can play some of the stuff today have had over 40 + years to practice getting it right and the fact is most still don't get it right . It's why Eddie is known as the Undisputed King .
