It's just so damn tight and relaxed at the same time.. the flawless technique and sophisticated groove between all 4 of those guys... the drummer's snare hits which are perfectly in sync with EJ as he leads us through each section of the song... everything here is just magical and majestic

THERES THE INDIAN TAAL AT 2:32-2:35 dha-dhin-dhin-dha Dha-dhin-dhin-dha Dha-dhin-dhin-dha Dha-dhin-dhin-dha-ta-thin-thin-dha dha?! Need to confirm if someone else also heard it or not 😮🤯
I’m a 2 time Grammy nominated guitarist. And all I can say is this is an amazing performance. There is just sooooo much going on here. The touch to create sustain at the very end of notes. The vibrato is absolutely stunning. This guy has an ear of gold! Finesse for days!!! What an amazing guitarist
Some of the great pianists are as comfortable stating a melody using an inside voice of chords as they might be playing just the notes. I have always sought out such players in my productions. It’s a very special talent, making the same melody brand new. Bill Evans was superb at this, ditto Monty Alexander, and a good friend of mine, Alex Darqui. Eric is one of very few guitarists with that same facility. It never gets old.
Technically astonishing, from both Vai and Mike Keneally. I just love the way Guitar magazine readers voted Steve Vai the 10th best guitarist of all time. If he was the 10th best...
