#SteveVai #AlienGuitarSecrets #PIA #JEM
This is the secret magic of technology. The ability to sent your greetings to a man who influenced you while living on the other side of the world. So, good morning Mr Vai and thank you for everything
great words my friend!
It's so secret magic it looks like one of Isaac Asimov's greatest Science Fiction Crime Novels. The Naked Sun, where no one ever saw each other. I betcha Elon Musk was involved in it too. For the record, that's a JOKE.
Indeed
Thank the man
Don't thank his manager
Cheers buddy
He is the ultimate gitarplayer...pure magic!The greatest of all time!😤😎And-I have meet him...how cool is that!🤗🤗🤗😉👍👍👍Oh-one moore thing...he have hand-signed my old jem 555..K.M Norway
@@alternoego5147 Thank's,man.
Steve Vai: "I hope you enjoyed it."
Me: "Really Steve? Really?"
The way I achieve it is be listening to the track and visualizing the lead melody and singing before I play it. Recording and vocalizing my guitar parts. Then I go back and learn what I though the spirit, vocalized. Get me???? But I would love to be able to just go from my fingers to the get fiddle.
In the green one the peddles remind me of the sperm of?? Oh yeah, slightly scalloped. Whith full sustain functionality.
Always in my prayers brother. Very very nice. 👍 🙏💯

I’m a simple man, I see Steve Vai, I click.
Holy shit me too
Absolutely! Anything from Steve Vai is great. Can listen to him for hours...while having his guitars right next to me making me feel all chuffed that they're my favorite guitars in the whole wide world and their maker is on the screen talking to me :D
I’m a simple guitarist
I hear Steve Vai
I cry realizing how good he is and that I’ll never be that good
lol
still clickin boy?
And that is what separates a pro from every other guitarist on youtube, legend.
Steve Vai really is the greatest innovator of music and musical functionality of our times
oD S.V. and E.V.H. tie in my book...
...not to mention composing a song here about a horse that is very pissed off.
How about Hank Marvin?
i love him. 🤗
Even that we acknowledge him at this moment, people will still praise him for generations claiming that he was ahead of its time, which is true
I once did a masterclass with Vai in Tilburg NL. And it changed my guitar playing forever. The economy of motion and the economy picking was such AHA moment. It took me a good 6 months to incorporate it and it gotten very frustrating to the point knalde couldn’t play my old style anymore. So I basically sucked at everything. That’s when I stopped the hours and hours of practice sessions and decided to relearn my own style. That I picked up quickly again, luckily. And I noticed at a certain moment that it sounds slightly different. Less aggressive and things went easier. And I realized I was economy picking and subconsciously changing starting on up or down stroke. That I had practiced for hours and hours, in what I thought was in vane. Suddenly it clicked and it was there.
PIA pro? For the “how Steve plays em right off the shelf edition”
YES please... started saving yesterday!
Maybe a PIA jr is more my budget but I’m saving 👏🏽👏🏽
You can get the PIA for around $320/month from zzounds.com. They allow you a 12-month payment plan without having to open a separate credit card with them like other companies do. And they ship the guitar to you after they receive your first payment, so you "pay as you play."
I'd take a Pia premium
@@sprigmackanover1836 I got the Jem Jr. it’s (deep breath in) AWESOME!!!
@@PooNinjaThe black Pia is the dream for me, but I just ordered an affordable yellow Jem Jr. Thank God they make guitars for sewer plant operators too. Lol!
every single time i hear bad horsie it sends chills all through my body amazing piece of music
Steve I would definitely be interested in a PIA with your shallow scallops, sustainer and trem setter, I hope you do it!
Can you imagine factory guitars with a sustainiac button?! I would immediately buy one. Looks SO fun to tinker with.
Some of the best playing I’ve ever seen from Steve - just a master!
"Thank the lord for Steve Vai"
Rob ever since U got married your playing kinda sux, in fact usually massively so. U just went on an endless kick repeating licks from your Door Jam album songs & pretending U R a 'shredder' when your really unique beautiful skill was the 'modal improv' thing U ignore now =P BOOO!
Yes, he achieved the flow state thing fully today.
Funny I posted during the intro song and the entire first 20 minutes have been about achieving flow. I am not the only one who noticed, it seems!
Rob I see you're improving a lot year by year as well. WTG Cheers!
He s one of the best guitarist you will ever see! Everybody love Vai!🎸🤙
I feel so bad that I laughed so much with the hospital story man... Thanks for sharing all of this with us...
BAD HORSEY!! That is a lockdown all day replay tune! Every time I watch any of his videos you are guaranteed to learn something!
0:14 You learn a lot from Steve even the way he gracefully pushes his chair away - we all have to do that at one point to get on with it :)
Not only are you my all time favorite guitarists,but what makes me admire you even more is what a humble,caring,down to Earth person you are.I've only KINDA met you once when you played "Clicks" in Tyler,Texas where you actually let me work your whammy for a few seconds right during your performance and that made my night,week,month and year.
We do have a few friends/aquaintenances in common.
I just want to say thank you for everything you do and share with us.
I have your number in my phone and have for a while and have never given it to ANYONE as it was a promise I've kept from a mutual friend.
Trust me when I say it's been so hard to never call you or text you,but I don't feel I have that right or privilege,but just knowing I have it makes me feel like a million dollars.
I'm almost 62 years old and still play in my 3 piece band every weekend and have followed your career since Zappa and will always be a fan till I am in the next spiritual plane.
Thank you again for the inspiration,the words of wisdom and the best guitar playing,in every aspect.
You are the true GOAT.
Much love,honor and respect Sir 🎶💜🎶

I’m going through a tough time in life right now and you are such an inspiration. I went to see you together with my 16 year old daughter Rosa in Antwerp and since then I have rediscovered your music (you never really went away) but now also your video’s. You’re a gift Steve and an inspiring human being.
Blown away! Every time you play Steve, it feels like my soul is being ripped out it’s so deep it’s unreal.
You, dear Sir, are unquestionably a pure genius and inspiration to millions. Thank you for everything.
I am at a loss for words...... I would love to exist as Steve VAI's harmony hut...
Holy sh!t.
That voice and vocal control. I mean, I shouldn't be surprised seeing how amazing you are on guitar, but I wasn't expecting THAT.
Wow
Lockdown isn't just for us mere mortals...good to see you're staying in shape.

@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding Nope, gotta practice...priorities.
UA-camCensorsTruth more like heaven
Anything off that album is fire thank you wow!
The hospital story was hilarious!
I still have white JEM. I bought it in 1996, in Japan.
My God Thank You Steve Vai❤
Played Malmsteen strats for many years, had another guitar scalloped as well. I love all kinds of necks, but the vibrato and bends offered up from a scalloped neck is just big fun. Please release a Pia with a fully scalloped neck. Definitely!
Vai is the master wizard.
Mr. Vai, that. Was. Amazing...
Mad monk hangin' at the Harmony Hut!!!
I love the great tone followed by his chair being wrangled. Eff it well do it live, well do it live
As always, everything Steve does is perfect. The green pia is so beautiful. I can't stop following you
What a living legend. I remember a guitar. Jam at sneakers night club in san Antonio 35 yrs ago. A friend of mine Manuel Santos jammed with SV. Awesome.
It's crazy as the media depicts the world on fire but here I am using this time to jam and enjoy my time on this earth
I wish i had even one tenth of the skill you have sir...
Wow... the 667th Comment! Love You Steve...Thanks for All the Awesome Years!!!
After all these years Steve and you are still impressing me , absolutely brilliant and beautiful.
That is by far my fav song you ever did man! that riff is just insane and the the solo! FFS! Always killing it Steve!
Can't help but make guitar face while listening to Steve !!!!!!!
That was great! Thanks Steve!!!
We love you Steve
Thanks for sharing these live videos. They are very much appreciated.
We really enjoyed and appreciate it.
Amazing, one of my favorite tracks...thank you
Can't express how much I love those live videos. Thank you Steve!!!
Hi Steve, thank you for this .
I just wanna say " I love you" Mr. Vai !! This was BEAUTIFUL !
Preciuos! The search for the flow. Thank you a lot for sharing
Steve, you recently said that Roy Marchbank was the fastest guitar player you have ever seen. Have you seen him play Paganini and more recently Shawn Lanes solos? His own compositions are astounding too. He also speaks of total relaxation in playing, so in agreement with yourself. You’re both incredible guitarists and great human beings pushing the boundaries of the guitar! Thank you for acknowledging Roy’s virtuosity. It takes a true virtuoso to have the grace and goodness to recognise another. Would love to see you play together.
Thanks Steve Via just amazing as always!! also Thanks for spending time with all of us!!
Man I’m happy to be alive thank you so much brotha awesome as always!!!!!
That was beautiful and beautifully played Mr Vai.
Thanks so much for sharing some time and your experiences with us. Have really enjoyed both series!
Priceless moments watching these videos...unique teachings that can only come from a person like Steve Vai...this will represent a change in our lives...for those who see it...thank you teacher !!
This is my favourite UA-cam channel by far! Thank you Steve! 😎👍
Perfect as always Steve 😍😍😍😍
I Love to see how much fun you have, playing! Thanks for being you.
thanks for this steve. one of my favorites! thanks for this.
Steve Vai you're probably the best guitarist today I say it respectfully you play everybody's music flawless what I want to know is who's going to be able to play your music there isn't anybody who could play like you,,.....
Ohh you should listen to Lee Wrathe he is close up there to Steve but he’s not Steve so to say lol 😂
i´m in love with this guitar!!!
Thanks for all you do for us , the music and insight 🤘🔥🙂🔥👍
what a humble guy ! true inspiration !
Thanks steve ! Love your music and i see that you love deeply what you do !!!

Crazy and funny life stories are the best. Thanks for sharing Steve, a whole video of stories would be great!
Thank you Steve, great video as always.
Steve vai what a legend you are
Thank you very much for these, they've been inspirational and entertaining in a complicated and worrying time.
Great Steve...Amazing...ever...!!!
Thank you so much Steve ❤️💕💙🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Incredible way to play !!
Bad Horsie brought a lot of memories from way back 2009, thanks Steve keep it coming 👌
Amazing collection of the BEST guitarists
The Moon and I - Love it and relate to your explanation
Steve, I love your dedication to your craft and your passion for music and the guitar itself.
God, when I heard Bad Horsie kick in, I had goose bumps. Still got it. Amazing.
happy sunday steve!!
Absolutely brilliant and insightful video Mr Vai 🙏
Oh SH!!!!! Words cannot describe Steve! As always, you’re one of the great performers that I can recall. I saw you first at Bimbos in the Bay Area CA! You have never disappointed! Thank you!
Thankyou Steve for the programs you have done!Very interesting and informative.Enjoyed them all.Hope to see you in 2021 in Houston Tx!
I would like a Pia with a sustainer and an Ibanez backstop.
wcm5150 there are solid alternatives for backstop but sustainer is not being sold as the unit itself.
@@davidhendrox Which ones? I have one that's a magnetic single post that I never installed because I'm not too confident it's going to work. Other than the Edge Zero I don't know.
I have a Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder with a Sustainiac in the neck position...awesome guitar for the money! Doesn't have the same bridge or backstop vibrato device (refuse to call it a tremelo when its a vibrato effect)...but it's pretty killer! 😎🎸🤘
Well, you can. If you order the PIA from zzounds.com, you can opt for a 12-month payment plan (which is about $300 a month, ish). Not cheap. But not a bank-breaker either. You can order the sustainiac pickup kit from the sustainiac website here: www.sustainiac.com/stpr-org.htm. And as for the backstop... Well, that one's harder to find because the Ibanez backstop was discontinued a LONG time ago. The best you can do is get one on ebay or get a close 2nd from Amazon or another such site which has "trem setters" or "backstops." It won't be Steve's backstop, since Ibanez likely manufactures them specifically for him when he asks. But it'll be the best thing to get as close as possible for you.
I've searched extensively and the closest thing I found to the "Trem setter's" Steve was referring to (which I'm pretty sure is EXACTLY what's in Steves PIA) is the Göldo Back Box ( www.thomann.de/gb/goeldo_backbox.htm ) it's pretty much a permanent modification to the instrument but based on what I've seen, read and heard about them is completely worth it.
Thanks for helping us also welcoming us in your studio
Thank you Mr.Vai. I saw you live in San Diego and it was amazing.
Thanks for going one on one with us!, fantastic! ✨
Thank you Steve, it feels amazing to hear your thought process, I feel blessed. :)
Amazing series and a master's classes. Thank you Mr. Vai.
Thank you! for sharing your inspiration about your music, which is so original in all aspects. Just so emotional your playing is with great attention to detail! Wow!
That's nice, lots of feeling passionate guitar playing, it moves my soul listening to Steve vai.
Dude! Much appreciation for all this! You're really helping to open my mind to a new way of approaching my guitar! Thanks for that!
Thanks for posting these videos mister Vai. You are a legend, my good Sir.
I love you Steve!!!!
Steve vai the legend. My hero
I feel the need to practice. Thank you!
You're a classic... I loved it. You really inhabit the music.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
That Bad Horsie was AMAZING! You are such inspiration to me and so many guitarist out there. You are the best!
Amazing! Great tone!
Also, that story toward the end is perhaps my favorite thing I’ve ever heard Steve discuss. Definitely unfortunate circumstances, but pretty interesting to be made privy to. Awesome video!
Thank you so much for your vast work. I have a 2001 Jem and love it. I hope to get a new pink one but with Duncans. Thank you so much so much for of everything,
1:39:06 - !!! YOU ARE THE BEST YOU THAT THERE IS !!! ... Wow Man! Thank u for all this speech!
