@@FreddhunterxBad Horsie wah. It's an optical wah which turns on when you move it, and it is spring loaded to go back up and turn off when you step off it.
@@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.
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... 😉😁😂
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 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.
*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.*
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.
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.
Little Stevie Vai demonstrating why he's at the top. Anyone want to grab the other video (ua-cam.com/video/qt9niB3gOo8/v-deo.html) and do some editing?
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.

“That Steve Vai. What a nice boy.”
THAT SOUNDS LIKE NOOOOOOOIIISE, MISTER VAI!!!
Excellence performance and great honor having your axe used by Steve Vai
That guitar will never be the same 😂
That was badass!!! Hell yeah Steve!!! Can't say enough about him!! He's a legend for a reason!! 🤘🎸🤘
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
After this the guitar went direct to press charges
Dude it is just so crazy good.. I'm pretty sure watching his fingers move without the sound would be entertaining!! True awesomeness 🤘🏻
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!!

This is that time during which the audience is listening to the audience is listening
He's don't care what's brand of guitar he play. That's MR VAI!!!!
EXCELLENT 🤩👍 Thanck you so much for sharing !!!!
This is the 1st time on stage I ever seen him play a non Ibanez. Parker guitar looks like

" That sounds like noise, Mr. Vai! "
the melodies are so animated, just amazing
Vai che si presta a suonare la chitarra di una fan....il top
Props to the drummer.. just hammering it!
After the show i ask the guitar 'ARE YOU OCKAY'.. And the guitar said I'VE GOT SICK IN THE NECK'.. Wkwkwk 🤣🤣
Damn! Is that Steve Vai playing a Parker????
I think his steve vai
That wah getting destroyed 😂
Hendrix would be proud 🤘🏻😝
Passion and warfare
That guitar and him are great together
Well kids today’s lesson. Know your fingers. That’s where the tone comes from. Start playing and buy pedals later.

Still has the speed and chops for sure 👍🏼
Wow! He is god of guitar
I got to play a Parker Fly years ago. Still want one.
Freaking awesome Via is still Freaking amazing...
Very good.... . The best
The guy was like. " just dont throw it pleeease" for 7 min.
Legend!
Steve's an alien 😮
So that's who Joe was surfing with..........?
@@jon9536 thats right 😄😄😂

Absolutamente alucinante. El tipo lo da todo. Es el mejor para mí, y con la Parker... Que preciosidad. Le sienta de maravilla.
The Tracy Chapman's bro is an extraordinary bassist
When I first saw a Parker whilst scrolling …I played …then saw who was guitaring the instrument!!!!!
Okay I give up now 😂🤯🎸 FANTASTIC
Shredding
Nice ballad.
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.
Awesome! 🎭✨️👏🏼🤝🏻🙋🏻♂️🇦🇷
Bynoe is a great bassist. Underrated.
Had a hard time hearing him…
this is so rare god
Steve could play a hello kitty guitar and make it sound good. “EVH it’s all in the fingers”
Well there you go 🤛
Something about Steve Vai playing a Parker guitar seems natural.
This is gold
The best the best🎸🎸🎸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥😎
That axe is pretty Fly, Parker but that’s no Ibanez haha. Steve Vai is always brilliant

sooo much better without the lady yelling about it being too loud
Oh my god, the god himself touch and play a parker deym! 😍
Melodic Genius
How is possible for someone to reinvent himself so many time likes this? Who is this guy? looks like Steve Vai
The man could play a broom and sound fantastic

The original!
That was good times
Is this Ken Parker playing a Steve vai?
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.
GOAT!🔥🐐🤘
Стиви унижает во мне гитариста!))
Как же он хорош!!!!
На Паркере запилить такое. Стиви спасибо что ты есть!
This dude looks and sounds like Steve Vai.
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.
Awesome 🙋🏻♂️🇧🇷🎸🔥🔥🔥
Ken Parker corporation shares : 🚀📈📈
I love your Knopfler style Stevie...❤...
Show.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎸💫
Mistrz ✌️
Esa Parker ya no tiene precio.....😂😂😂
Как сказал стив: гитара это всего-то палка и шесть струн, все дело в человеке.
Parker fly is so light for steve vai
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.😂
On a Parker -- dope!
Since it's not a JEM that's not Vai , that's JACK BUTLER!!!
My man Jack Butler's gonna liiike you....
What kind of whammy pedal is he using
Morley Bad Horsie 2
He got Jim Dunlop on he's effectboard too
Unrealllll Fantastic
Is that Vai? Man he looks great. What is he like 65?
Vai and a fly
Super ! 😊💪🏻
Foreshadowing the Belew tour
Badass ❤
Who needs a Ibanez to bem happy? Killer Parker kick asses.
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.
Oh lord he's playing a Paul Gilbert guitar.

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
My great whit 🐃 the Parker fly
I would like to challenge Mr. Vai
Akang vai sampurasun
The begining lick is it a song ? Name?
Who’s rig is he playing through and if it’s guitar camp and he’s the main attraction you would think he’d have his guitars and rig present?
He did have all of his own gear there, but a camper asked him to play his guitar.
Get outta here with that Pahka fly, Steve Vai. 😂
Who's the skinny kid with the glasses?
Name song?
What a fackin hero 😂😂😂😂
I dont blame Steve. I wouldn’t trade my old Parker for a $1500 Jem made in Indonesia.
Satch playing EVH Vai playing Parker… What’s going…
