I had to learn this song (Eugene's Trick bag) when I was just starting out. My dad told if I practice real hard and play like that he'd buy me a real guitar... That's how I got my 1988 Ibanez Jem777... It is a great piece and some parts I still use to this day....
Don't bother reading the comments..50% are experts saying "telecaster doesn't have 24 frets" and the other 50 are danielson references...you're welcome!
@@ricstormwolf It's "You're" dumbshit. And yes,you can obtain a Telecaster with 24 frets..You guitar "experts" need to do some research before you speak.This way you don't look stupid.
I very much needed to see him rock the devil in slow motion!!! The beauty is captured twice as sweetly because I get to listen to it for twice as long! Thank you. Also VERY helpful for learning this piece on guitar
@MrOlliguitar He is mimicking the correct way to play the piece. In the beginning he plays an arpeggio of an open A chord on the second fret, which is actually the correct way to play the piece. The tab is wrong. It should be played in the style of Villa Lobos. For example, etude 2 arpeggio study by Villa Lobos. You will notice he plays an open arpeggio, then plays an open high E and plays another arpeggio at the tenth fret. These tabs are notoriously wrong. ua-cam.com/video/Ldhh6FrM4H4/v-deo.html
Damn. This was really cool! I came for for Ralph, stayed for the music, and I think it’s actually even better visually and sonically at slow speed! Wish I had this on my phone’s music library...thanks for posting this. Saw the film for the first time in 2021. Library didn’t have it so I bought a DVD online. I like this story !
It's been 2 1/2 years since I've started playing the guitar. I actually tried learning how to play this piece for a good while during my first months, but clearly failed miserably. Even then, i still learned to play everything in spite of it being EXTREMELY slow paced and sloppy at the time. Fast forward to today and I can essentially play the piece at it's original pace without much effort.
Wow really?? at speed with no effort?? how long did you practice on the average day?? Ive been playing around the same amount of time but cant do this at speed..I dont practice too much though, only about 20 minutes on my four work days and about 1-1.5 hours on my days off… Back when covid first hit and I had more free time I would practice about 2-3 hours sometimes but only in the first few months..
dig it. I worked SO hard to figure some of this out back in the day. rewinding the VCR. I was so happy to find some tab in a guitar mag. this would have helped a lot. thanks!
@digil thank you and God Bless you. I’ve been wanting to learn this since I was 12 year old little fart just starting guitar. Thank you for sharing/posting this in such a perfect way.
for those ignorants that think you can not replicate 24'th sound on 17...well it is actually quite doable when you now harmonics. tab is just to replicate the sound that you must play...
Ralph did such a good job with miming Honestly I can’t stand when actors completely disregard even trying to be in the same region of the neck in which the track is being played Take the Jimi Hendrix docurama all by my side the backing music will have Jimi shredding up high on the neck and the actor is mimicking a cowboy chord in the first position Hats off to Ralph for taking the time to really mime correctly and to Steve vai and Ryan cooder for taking the time to show him the parts over and over 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Ralph Macchio is the greatest cheater ever! As a Karate Kid he won with an illegal kick, as a blues player he won with classical musical made by the adversary.
@@LanceDaniels1 Paganini is the actual source of the whole "selling ones soul to the devil for talent", which is why I think they used this particular piece and why "Scratch" reacted to it the way that he did.
I’ll give it to Ralph. 99% of actors portraying guitarists just throw their hands into whatever position they feel like at the time, and when the director says “action” they just flub their hands around like no one will notice because THEY don’t know how off they look. But you can tell Ralph actually put some time into understanding finger-placement. Obviously there are parts that just don’t compute if you slow the video down (like the opening figure is a 2-4-2-5 on G but he’s going 2-3-2-4, and of course at the end where he’s supposedly bending up to the 24th fret but he’s in like the 15th position, AND ON A TELE NO LESS 😂) but all in all as far as actors who can’t play go, this is probably the most legitimate I’ve seen an actor do it. His arpeggio sweeps and returning to the Low E are consistent, his physical timing is pretty spot on, and when bends occur; you can see his face and hands clutch in that way of extra tension like any guitarist would. So props to Macchio who probably got a lot of advice from Vai on this set for not insulting guitarists all over the world by just hurling any hand-position that struck his fancy at the wall and hoped it would stick. 👍
as somebody who learned to play this piece 17 years ago (o...m...g... I'm old now. lol), you're absolutely right, most of the time actors can't even pretend to play guitar right. However, Michael j Fox did well pantomiming Johnny B Goode in Back to the Future, I remember hearing that he took lessons to make sure he looked natural, and I think the barre chord 12 bar blues shapes he is making are all in the right places.
Excelente! Muy bueno. Haberte conocido antes! Tuve que aprender a leer para sacar esto. Pero para los que les sirva para cortar camino, Felicidades y a seguir estudiando!!!
The first arpeggio is incorrect, which is one that most people get wrong. The last one is correct though and nobody seems to get that one right, so overall I'm impressed.
Vai actually played a 21 fret tele when they recorded the part. If you fret the high E string on the neck pickup, on a 21 fret tele, you get the high E(24th fret), and that's how Vai did it.(read it in an article years ago) I should specify, it's the second last run he does that has the high E, the very last run it seems he's using a harmonizer/octaver perhaps?
@@SergeantScream the Ibanez Jem was first produced in 1987, Crossroads was released in 1986, Steve Vai didn't have the Jem prototype early enough to play during the making of the movie. As for the article, it was the early 90's when I saw it, so no idea where you would find it.
That was very helpful, really appreciate it, but adding the tab on a cover of this song (for example Tina S cover) would be much more helpful since we can also see the guitar neck :) Thanks again!
+MrMuppet DZN Ok. Start by repeat the same phrase time and time again. With little increments on the speed. Use a metronome and the backing track for support. Then you join two or more phrases. Use these method to achieve the full speed. Let´s practie. Thank you for your feedback
the first section is great for practising sweeping. I found that over the course of some time, my left hand got it, but my right would keep slipping/skipping, so practice sweeping only right hand at like 60 bpm.then I found that putting the two together was quite fuzzy, so work from 70 to 200 bpm with 10 bpm increments. the second bit is great for left hand movements. I'm working on that right now so I don't know how it'll sound. its the same shape but in different parts, and I use the 12th fret (2 dots) as my guide, and the 17th fret. I'm not claiming to have this piece down but the process of slowly getting is such a lovely feeling :) hope this helps!
wow you wrote that a year ago. I would imagine your are far ahead of me, but some other people said they took several years to get this. how is it coming along?
Daily. In chunks. slowly. Building them all up together. Playing them all from memory. increasing the speed. Practicing the more difficult parts at increased speeds. Repeat until at full speed. Or faster.
My all time favorite movie guitar battle! You knew he couldn't loose! God's music warrior!!! But the frtes don't go that high! Dubed! It's still sounds great!
Has anyone else noticed that he plays it differently in the movie? He keeps sliding down to the 2nd fret but not once do I see this happen in the tabs.
1.the footage isnt a tutorial it's a movie purely for entertainment (dont follow it) you dont need to comment about him not having 24 frets or not using a pick he did actually learn to play a little bit if i recall correctly 2. he didnt use a pick because in the story he is a classical guitar student (id call this solo classical 100%) classical players dont use picks a lot, as far as i know they mostly use finger style 3.they chose a tele because its an iconic guitar that a blues player might actually use and it just fit, it wouldnt make sense if he were carrying around a 24 fret 7 string schecter with super hot humbuckers playing blues, i dont think steve vais ibanez would exactly fit either. they made the right call even if it sacrificed realism.
Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser did Ralph Macchio's guitar parts not Steve. Ry did the blues stuff and Bill did the Classical stuff get that thru your heads people. Steve did not do everything like you make it out to be. Steve just did his parts nothing more. That movie was not centered around Steve.
Phillip Tomlin eugenes trick bag is Steve vai, and Steve vai person tried to play it after Steve vai played it through Ralph, thus Steve vai lost to Steve vai, doesn’t matter that other players were on the stalemate “head cuttin’ duel” this comment still stands!
@@pt8175 Bill only did the Classical parts that were performed on a Classical guitar. There are a few scenes in the movie where Ralph "plays" on one, and those are where Bill's parts were used. On the other hand, Eugene's Trickbag aka Paganini on the ELECTRIC guitar was done by Steve Vai. FYI, Bill plays exclusively on Classical guitars. Heck, Vai has the writing credits for the piece AND included it on a few of his albums. He sure as shit didn't do so because Bill performed it, genius. Vai played it, end of story. You are wrong. Next time, don't be so arrogant. You aren't right about everything like you make it out to be (ooops).
Exactly! It was automatic. I laughed every time I saw this sequence exactly because of that. It must have taken good acting for him to pretend to fail like that! Kind of slapstick-black humour, especially when he falls over!
To all the misinformed people, the guitar parts for Ralph Macchio were done by Arlen Roth(also Ralphs Guitar teacher for the film) and Ry Cooder in the Duel scene with Steve. Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser did the music for the film. Ry did the Blues parts for Ralph and Bill did the Classical parts for Ralph throughout the film. Steve was just brought in to play his part for Jack Butler in the movie nothing more nothing less. All of the music for the sountrack was done by Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser. What you see of Steve Vai in the movie is what he done that is it. Steve did not do all of the music for that film. Just go find the album soundtrack and on the front of the album says Crossroads Music by Ry Cooder. Now if Steve did everything his name would be on the front of the album which it is not.

Crossroads 1986, it’s a movie. The part on Steve Vai’s CD is called Eugenes Trick Bag. This is Eugene vs Jack Butler, get with it man. Guitar nerd 101.
Ralph Macchio did a great acting job here. Makes it look like he's actually playing while it's Steve Vai actually playing dubbed over. Pretty good job at making it believable.

El video que esperé toda mi vida.
In the 50x speed if you place in 1.75x will be the normal song
Ok :)
Caprice no 5 paganini wow.. This piece sound so cool on guitar
Steve Vai vs Steve Vai, somehow Steve Vai manages to lose to himself
Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser did Ralph Macchio's guitar parts not Steve. Ry did the blues stuff and Bill did the Classical stuff get that thru your heads people. Steve did not do everything like you make it out to be. Steve just did his parts nothing more. That movie was not centered around Steve.
and that's the win!
Phillip Tomlin eugenes trick bag is Steve vai, and Steve vai person tried to play it after Steve vai played it through Ralph, thus Steve vai lost to Steve vai, doesn’t matter that other players were on the stalemate “head cuttin’ duel” this comment still stands!
@@pt8175 Bill only did the Classical parts that were performed on a Classical guitar. There are a few scenes in the movie where Ralph "plays" on one, and those are where Bill's parts were used. On the other hand, Eugene's Trickbag aka Paganini on the ELECTRIC guitar was done by Steve Vai. FYI, Bill plays exclusively on Classical guitars. Heck, Vai has the writing credits for the piece AND included it on a few of his albums. He sure as shit didn't do so because Bill performed it, genius. Vai played it, end of story. You are wrong. Next time, don't be so arrogant. You aren't right about everything like you make it out to be (ooops).
@@pt8175 Learn your facts before sounding like an idiot.
Small hint, use the open A between arpeggios 😊
Ralph Macchio said he was fake playing the entire time and doesn’t know a single note
No need to be told it's kind of obvious
Loved that movie. I have it in my collection. Going to watch it this weekend.
I highly doubt that Steve Vai would be intimidated by arpeggio exercises.
do you realize how hard it was for steve to act as if he cant play? :D
Of course... Paganini's Caprice No 5 is just some easy arpeggio exercises...
Exactly!
It was automatic. I laughed every time I saw this sequence exactly because of that. It must have taken good acting for him to pretend to fail like that! Kind of slapstick-black humour, especially when he falls over!
Wow...This is my favorite movie over 30 years.
Can you tell me whats the movie tittle ?
Steve Vai vs Yngwie Malmsteen

Mr. Miyagi could play the 24th fret on a Telecaster, he must have thought it to Daniel-san.
To all the misinformed people, the guitar parts for Ralph Macchio were done by Arlen Roth(also Ralphs Guitar teacher for the film) and Ry Cooder in the Duel scene with Steve. Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser did the music for the film. Ry did the Blues parts for Ralph and Bill did the Classical parts for Ralph throughout the film. Steve was just brought in to play his part for Jack Butler in the movie nothing more nothing less. All of the music for the sountrack was done by Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser. What you see of Steve Vai in the movie is what he done that is it. Steve did not do all of the music for that film. Just go find the album soundtrack and on the front of the album says Crossroads Music by Ry Cooder. Now if Steve did everything his name would be on the front of the album which it is not.
Vai's look of pretend unease always gets me in this scene.
🇧🇷Muito bom 👍
Queima o filme expor a bandeira desse país ridículo !! Ninguém põe a bandeira de seu país , mas brasileiro acha bonito como se fosse um belo país desenvolvido, no meio de 1,2 mil comentários a única q expos de onde é como se fosse grande coisa viver aqui kkkkkk

I remember learning Eugenes Trick bag and people telling me of it wasn’t for Van Halen those licks wouldn’t have been inspired. People have no idea how complex the guitar was before EVH had a name, he’s a microcosm in the art of playing fast.
In the intro, He's not even touching the 5th fret yet it says he's playing it. Lol.
Ralph isn't really playing here. The tabs are correct though.
Crossroads 1986, it’s a movie.
The part on Steve Vai’s CD is called Eugenes Trick Bag.
This is Eugene vs Jack Butler, get with it man. Guitar nerd 101.
Ralph Macchio did a great acting job here. Makes it look like he's actually playing while it's Steve Vai actually playing dubbed over. Pretty good job at making it believable.
Yeah unfortunately Daniel San couldn’t play that 😔
