    Steve Vai is a freak of nature. I can play most solos from the 80s metallica megadeth etc but this guy's stuff is on another level of difficulty. His fingers are really long so it's harder for a shorter guy with sausage fingers. Ill never forget passion and warfare .

      Also the EQ settings of how the bass guitar sits in the mix with the other guitars is really important for this kind of tone. It's just something you have to play around with yourself and figure out what works best with your equipment. Search around UA-cam. Hope this helps!

The electro Harmonix big muff range of pedals is a common one, especially the Russian type (they're usually called "sovtek"). Honestly just try lots of guitar distortion/overdrive pedals with your bass until you find one you like. And probably having humbucking bass pickups would help as well

    What I love most about Vai is his expression on stage. You can see all he's ever wanted to do is play badass guitar and he's kicking arse and knows it. Can see the passion for his art in his face, even covered in gold paint. All the best artists do what they love the most- so many guitarists play but seem robotic, almost like they don't even wanna do it. Vai fucking loves his job.

Love the heaviness of the opening riff and how it was played on slide guitar. The rhythm section just grooves on this track!

      @SynthApprentice 2 роки тому

      It's definitely possible to do both, but unfortunately, exceptionally few guitarists actually do. The thing that sets guys like Vai, Satriani, Eric Johnson, and ESPECIALLY EVH apart from all the other shredders is that they have a deep understanding of constructing an interesting melody. Far, far too many shred guitarists focus solely on impressive fretting and picking technique for its own sake. If you slow down something like Eugene's Trick Bag, it's still good musicianship. If you slow down most shred guitar, you just get boring scale exercises.
