Teenaged me always wanted a Parker Fly but could never afford one. Middle-aged me is now more interested in modding guitars and amps and building pedals than actually playing, so will likely still never own one.
I owned the first Carvin Legacy halfstack and almost killed my hearing permanently with its toneful bliss. Now I own a VLD1 preamp pedal but vow to own another Legacy in my lifetime. I have much more common sense now than I did in 2007... 😉😁😂
@@AB7F9 I mean clearly to a point; its a supeer strat with dimarzios and a floating trem going through the same effects, preamps, ampliferies and post production; if you break it down holistically its not THAT much departed; but it is refreshing to see vai just ... sounds like vai. If you put him on a hollowbody tele with single coils, its gonna sound like "vai" but its going to be a bit of a tangent sound here.
@@AB7F9 Yep! EVH was the 1st person I heard say that. It's true. Seen a lot of great players with unique tone play on someone else's rig and sound as usual.
*I used to want a Parker, so bad, in the 90s. Now that time has passed, I find them ugly and plain-looking. But they truly were great guitars. I'd rather a PRS.*
That’s great as a general comment, but did you happen to miss the huge pedalboard at his feet 😂? You could maybe use Eric Clapton, or Wes Montgomery, or anyone else as a suitable example, but Steve Vai is hardly an example. I get your point- that he would sound like himself whether it was an Ibanez or a Parker Fly, but don’t confuse his distinctive style for “tone”.
False. Gear won't magically turn you into Vai, but even Vai couldn't make a Taylor acoustic sound like this. Or whatever. To get even close to this, you need an electric guitar, high gain amp and a wah...at least. Gear DOES matter...even to him.
@@sanjeevmraman completely missed the point. 😆 of course there’s a pedal board in front of him. If I give him my pedal board, guess what my board will sound like. 🤔 Steve Vai. 😮
Guys, we all use gear. We all have unique styles. It doesn’t matter what you plug into. Your fingers is where the tone starts. We all have a preference of gear. But the fingers is where it’s at because our fingers are unique to our style. Don’t over think this kids.
If only it was recorded vertically. Anyway. Usually I’d say the guitar doesn’t matter it’s the player but you can see Steve struggling a bit with this guitar but still managed to play it well.
I'm guessing you mean "horizontally"? I was very close to Steve during this performance and the phone I had at the time didn't have a wide angle lens. If I'd have recorded it horizontally I'd only been able to capture the guitar so I doubt it would have been any better than this.
Parker passed extensive pressure testing by Mr. Vai with positive marks in sonic and structural categories. Results: I want one, and they’re impossible to find at a price my bank account approves of.
Is 10:30 pm and I'm getting ready to sleep, I reached to the phone to turn it off, this is somehow waiting on my queue and sure I clicked on it and fucking Boooomm!!! Wow!! This guys energy and that guitar sound is freaking insane!! Now I'm going to bed happy, I'll watch it again first thing! Later you freaking animals and a big applause for this dude!
That's my guitar! Thanks Alan!
How did he get your guitar in the first place?
I have seen these video before
I just wanted to know how does it work (the wha pedal look like a spring is underneath)
Sell it to me I have deep pockets.

Excellence performance and great honor having your axe used by Steve Vai
“That Steve Vai. What a nice boy.”
THAT SOUNDS LIKE NOOOOOOOIIISE, MISTER VAI!!!
Damn! Is that Steve Vai playing a Parker????
I think his steve vai
He's don't care what's brand of guitar he play. That's MR VAI!!!!
the melodies are so animated, just amazing
Nice ballad.
That guitar and him are great together
I got to play a Parker Fly years ago. Still want one.
Steve's an alien 😮
So that's who Joe was surfing with..........?
@@jon9536 thats right 😄😄😂
That wah getting destroyed 😂
Hendrix would be proud 🤘🏻😝
This is gold
That axe is pretty Fly, Parker but that’s no Ibanez haha. Steve Vai is always brilliant
The guy was like. " just dont throw it pleeease" for 7 min.
This dude looks and sounds like Steve Vai.
sooo much better without the lady yelling about it being too loud
The original!
Muy bueno
Thank you for this!!! Great camera work!!!❤❤❤
The playing is great. The camera is literally someone holding up a shitty phone in vertical and using phone mic = not great camera work… at all.
That was good times
Как сказал стив: гитара это всего-то палка и шесть струн, все дело в человеке.
I see PREDATOR.
Bait and a fly
What kind of whammy pedal is he using
Morley Bad Horsie 2
He got Jim Dunlop on he's effectboard too
What a fackin hero 😂😂😂😂
sooo... it isn't the ibanez jem ..... it's all on his fingers....
right ?
Yeah right,Like Eddie V.H. once said,the tone comes from your finger👍
No. The sound is horrible, period.
Get outta here with that Pahka fly, Steve Vai. 😂
What’s the name of this song?
"The Audience Is Listening"
What kind of guitar is THAT????
It's a Parker Fly...
How does he stay in the pocket for so long without loosing it, somewhere!
Losing*

That sounds like noise, Mr. Vai! And I want it stopped!
Sarà pure bravissimo ma a me annoia ...
ไม่รู้เรื่องเลย
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Вначале негр стоял неподвижно, я думал это манекен😂
What in the chessey crap is this 😮
Horrible sounding guitar!, but who cares anyway , Steve plays that and thats awesome!.. cheers kid !
Awesome (but Vai looks a bit like a lesbian here😂...). I hope he won't be like Howard Alden (I still love his music but not his looks😱)!
Who's this dude he can't even put a strap on a guitar....😂
This sucks
No one cares what you think.😂
@@johnfatorich3494 true. The beginning did suck tho
That guitar will never be the same 😂
After this the guitar went direct to press charges

vai slamming a parker is crazy haha. Its unreal how it just sounds exactly the same
That's cause the tone is in the fingers!! They'll always sound like themselves no matter what gear they pick up!!

That was badass!!! Hell yeah Steve!!! Can't say enough about him!! He's a legend for a reason!! 🤘🎸🤘
This is the 1st time on stage I ever seen him play a non Ibanez. Parker guitar looks like
*I used to want a Parker, so bad, in the 90s. Now that time has passed, I find them ugly and plain-looking. But they truly were great guitars. I'd rather a PRS.*
After the show i ask the guitar 'ARE YOU OCKAY'.. And the guitar said I'VE GOT SICK IN THE NECK'.. Wkwkwk 🤣🤣
And I think we can more or less say that that guitar will never be played that fast ever again, Steve took it to the edge and some. Fantastic stuff
Dude it is just so crazy good.. I'm pretty sure watching his fingers move without the sound would be entertaining!! True awesomeness 🤘🏻
Well kids today’s lesson. Know your fingers. That’s where the tone comes from. Start playing and buy pedals later.

Ok, it's the first time like ever that Vai's not playing a JEM.. So what's the backstory to this?
You haven't seen him play the Scofield Semi-Hollow?
It was one of his lesson camps and one of the attendees asked Vai to play his guitar.
Can't stand these cropped verticle videos
This is that time during which the audience is listening to the audience is listening
Passion and warfare
I own two oringnal 1993 black deluxe and mojo season autumn custom with next sustainable…..Oh the sickness! Yeah babe and SV is getting sum.😂
Since it's not a JEM that's not Vai , that's JACK BUTLER!!!
My man Jack Butler's gonna liiike you....
Satch playing EVH Vai playing Parker… What’s going…
When I first saw a Parker whilst scrolling …I played …then saw who was guitaring the instrument!!!!!
弘法筆を選ばずだな…
最初持ち主に使い方を習ってたのかな？英語わからないから…状況がわからないけど…
" That sounds like noise, Mr. Vai! "
Im not an expert on wahs. Can someone tell me what kinda wah is that? It goes back to heel position automatically. I havent seen anything like it.
Not as good as the original.,👎C’mon Steve you can do better.
It's still just noise,,not bach..oy...where's the joy...
EXCELLENT 🤩👍 Thanck you so much for sharing !!!!
Is this Ken Parker playing a Steve vai?
The Tracy Chapman's bro is an extraordinary bassist
Ken Parker corporation shares : 🚀📈📈
Vai che si presta a suonare la chitarra di una fan....il top
Who's the skinny kid with the glasses?
Absolutamente alucinante. El tipo lo da todo. Es el mejor para mí, y con la Parker... Que preciosidad. Le sienta de maravilla.

Well there you go 🤛
Oh yes Francisco Tomas
Wow! He is god of guitar
Still has the speed and chops for sure 👍🏼
Very good.... . The best
Wasn't this Francisco Tomas's Guitar Steve was playing?
Yea
@@Locallybuiltauto Were you there? I was, got to Jam with Steve, it was amazing
On a Parker -- dope!

I see you in jail 😂

Who needs a Ibanez to bem happy? Killer Parker kick asses.
How is possible for someone to reinvent himself so many time likes this? Who is this guy? looks like Steve Vai
I dont blame Steve. I wouldn’t trade my old Parker for a $1500 Jem made in Indonesia.
Love this ... amazing to hear a Parker in Steve's hands ... Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼💥🎸🎶🔥🤘🏼
Vai and a fly
Oh lord he's playing a Paul Gilbert guitar.
Steve could play a hello kitty guitar and make it sound good. “EVH it’s all in the fingers”
Que porcaria de guitarra é essa?! O cara quer inventar a roda e atrapalhou o mestre ... Se fosse eu quebrava a guitarra 😅😅😅
