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

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.

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. 👍 🙏💯

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’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.

@CallousCoder 2 месяца назад

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.

@petermoonband7181 3 года назад

Steve, What’s really amazing about this is that you can be so completely present in the moment instinctually while playing , but then be ruthlessly analytical about what u have done after the performance is done . As a performer , it’s reassuring to me to learn that the inner dialogue you experience regarding your music is at least somewhat similar to what I’m feeling when I enter the creative space. I think we all appreciate your transparency and honesty in these sessions.

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 🎶💜🎶 ~DOG~ of the East Texas band Black Ice

@Kurt1969 4 года назад

Wanted a separate post. Growing up as a teen in the 80's was both a blessing and curse. I'm not a full time musician but have always struggled with my 'sound' or voice. 80's rock was my main influence, but there were so many other styles that influenced me as well. I always joke that I need I music therapist as when I sit down to write something my mind just goes in different directions. So my music sounds well...confusing. However, I have found if I write to say a video, it helps me focus on a style. Anyhow, the insights on all these shows are appreciated.
