I remember seeing an interview with Zappa and he said he was amazed this 17 year old kid sent him a tape of him playing Zappas parts faster then Zappa, His first job for Zappa, because he was to young to tour, was transposing Zappas guitar parts into sheet music for him.
That tryout from Vai's perspective is hilarious "it was impossible to add that note, not just for me, anyone. Frank says 'I heard Aretha Franklin is looking for a guitarist'. Haha, Frank had a weird brain, also thought Steve's guitar sounded like an electric ham sandwich, whatever that means
Biz, Steve Vai has a guitar dual with, and for the soul of Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), in the movie Crossroads (1986). About Robert Johnson and the legendary crossroads, where you can sell your soul. It's actually good.
Agreed that I know you're here and Tender Surrender Live are amazing af,.. He wrote this in a guitar shop on an acoustic with a recorder,.. Had an idea. This is all Heart and Soul. I love those tunes,..they are crazy good! But this was put to the side,..and here we are. Love it!!!
Steve Vai became famous when he joined the Frank Zappa band (called Mothers of Invention). Zappa is a very good guitarist but Vai took the solos to another level. Steve Vai tells some very funny Zappa stories including the one where Vai auditioned to play in Zappa's band. Steve Vai fans should check those out!
Guitars want Steve Vai for Christmas. Check out any live version of him doing, 'Whispering a Prayer' pretty much plays just using the whammy bar. All the best from the far north of New Zealand👍
I absolutely love how you review so many of the amazing artists that nobody else hardly ever does!! Steve Vai has played with Frank Zappa, Whitesnake, David Lee Roth & has recorded with many others including Alice Cooper over the years. He is immensely talented! I put him at the virtuoso level for sure 🎸🔥
Steve Via was David Lee Roth's right hand man when Dave left Van Halen to go solo. You gotta hear the tracks "Yankee Rose" and "Going Crazy" from the "Eat "Em And Smile" release. That album left a lot of jaws dropped to the floor.
Check..... Steve Vai - "I Know You're Here" , Steve Vai - "Tender Surrender" , Steve Vai - Teeth of the Hydra (Official Music Video) , Steve Vai - Bad Horsie , Steve Vai - "Dark Matter" Official Music Video
Another famous master rock guitarist known for having performed with an orchestra is Yngwie J. Malmsteen. He's Swedish but has been in the U.S. since he was 17 or something. His "Trilogy Suite Op. 5" is my favorite from his performance with the Japanese Philmarmonic Orchestra.
Steve's guitars take a 24hrs rest after the jamming session. they go back to the hotel room shut the door behind them with DND sign outside for the whole day.
Now you're really messing deeply with FIRE! That axe has a Fernandes super sustainer and when he blows on the strings that's enough to generate a never ending note. Steve 'V' EYE" is how you say it...
There’s and old movie called crossroads with Ralph Machio . It’s about blues and the duel at the end is Steve Vai( sounds like guy ) vs Ralph. I reality it’s all Steve.
The three Gs check them out Joe Satriani Steve Vai whatever special guest they bring in good stuff now check out. Gary Moore The song the messiah will come or anything Else from Gary Moore he does a lot of blues check them out
“Too many notes”. Did you ever watch Amadeus, the movie about Mozart. It is an excellent film. The quote is from a memorable scene where the Emperor gives Mozart the most polite critique….too many notes…..the human ear can only hold so many notes…cut a few notes it will be perfect. Classic and funny scene, the Emperor comes off a bit like an idiot, but it is a valid criticism that gets to the very core of musical expression. I admire Steve Val’s talent but his music never really resonated with me. Same for Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, ELP etc…. Its beyond my ken, I am the idiot.
Not commercially popular but probably the best guitarist ever♥️🎶♥️🎶♥️
Agree 💯%
Not probably. He his in my opinion. Just love Steve Vai.
possibly the best guitarist on earth
Man, you can feel his feelings and love for the music and guitar... So beatiful, cant describe it.... Its just beautiful
Steve Vai is a guitar master with unlimited talent. "I Know You're Here", and "Tender Surrender" both show his amazing abilities. Thanks Biz.
Great to see Steve Vai getting some more love. Dude is a LEGEND and has mastered the art of performing AND the guitar. 💯
I have my ticket for the G3 reunion concert coming through Arizona. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson. It's going to be fargin awesome.
His version of jimi hendrix and stevie ray vahns' "Little wing" takes my breath away......♥️🎶✝️
Tender Surrender is one of my favorites. By Steve Vai rhymes with Eye.
this genuinely makes me cry bro, such a beautiful song, vai is a legend.
Yea you "feel" this as much as you hear it for sure.
Me too..... my soul falls to its knees♥️🎶✝️
correct pronunciation is Va EYE and he's a sweet heart of a guy and a guitar god
TALENT
Check out his song “ ztender Surrender “ on another level
Steve Via- Now We Run, Tender Surrender, Bad Horsie, are a few to react to next.
Check out Steve Vai's "Windows to the Soul". It's truly is divine.
Vai rhymes with sky 👍
Steve is one of the best guitarists ever, he got his first big break playing with Frank Zappa 🎸
I remember seeing an interview with Zappa and he said he was amazed this 17 year old kid sent him a tape of him playing Zappas parts faster then Zappa, His first job for Zappa, because he was to young to tour, was transposing Zappas guitar parts into sheet music for him.
@@Ginric99that was a great interview!!
Frank's little Italian virtuoso. They made some amazing music together. And you can hear Frank in his music to this day.
And just to be sure, Frank Zappa rhymes with drank crappa

I’m seeing him in Orlando in March. Him and Joe on Tour now
he is a master of his instrument.
Biz, Steve Vai has a guitar dual with, and for the soul of Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), in the movie Crossroads (1986). About Robert Johnson and the legendary crossroads, where you can sell your soul. It's actually good.
My favorite scene from that movie!! 👏🏼🔥🎸
"I got me a real good guitar player name of Jack Butler, cuts heads every Sat night"
Love that movie lol
I had never heard him before. Thanks for exposing me to his talent (& of course the orchestra was fantastic).😊
Check out his track knapsack which plays one handed, due to shoulder and wrist surgery

You should check out "Firewall with band intros" from his Where the Wild Things Are video 🤘
Played with Frank Zappa when he was like 20 and he grew up in carle place long island ny
Vai is pronounced like "guy"... 🤙
Yngwie Johan Malmsteen is a beast. Also look up Michael Angelo Batio who plays 2 guitars at the same time. 🤯🤯
There’s and old movie called crossroads with Ralph Machio . It’s about blues and the duel at the end is Steve Vai( sounds like guy ) vs Ralph. I reality it’s all Steve.

Doesn't parts of this song sound like the old Kung Fu theme
Steve what? 😂 pronounce at least properly the legends name! One of the greatest musicians /guitar players that ever exist on planet earth.
