Steve Vai: Evolution of an Icon 

You got that right and so am I.

He looks like HOWARD STERN HERE BUT HOWARD STERN IS KOOL ONCE HE REALIZED BIDEN SUCKS..

there's a touch of eastern music influence here

my thought was "jeez gary oldman can play anyone"

And real. EVH was a big deal.

@@AdamSpade like Steve said, “game changer”

EVH........STEVE VAI.EVOLUTION.🤘🇺🇸

He adores EVH

Richie Allan already is

Me too bout to see him a third time in march already got my tickets my favorite guitarist of all time hope he's coming through your area so you can see him a third time too.

We truly live in a fantastic time. Where our legends have connected with us and have tried sharing their techniques and how they attack things or new methods that simplify things.

@@imoffendedthatyouareoffended Indeed. I don't play anything like Steve after years of developing my own style of music but I really appreciate hearing from him and also finding out what a great person he is. You often imagine all people in Steve's position to be complete ego maniacs who believe that the entire world revolves around them. I suppose Steve's parents did something right when they raised him to be a nice person who tries to be authentic and generous. I think Steve really tried to help Yngwie Malmsteen get off his high horse but I'm not sure how well Yngwie has received Steve's gift. Steve can be quite silly and corny but he's always been that way and I appreciate his honesty. I'm sure his children adore him and that's something that is likely paramount to Steve's happiness and his continued growth as an artist. I would love to hear an album of Steve's where he only played slow. I think it would be so creative and very interesting melodically. He has an ear unlike anyone else and hears things in a unique way and I often imagine what that would be like if it were removed from the kinetic guitar maneuvering he's prone to. It seems possible that Steve could reduce his note count and be more interesting as an artist.

It's quite remarkable that he's been at the forefront for so long. That's quite unique.

This is so true, met him once after a show backstage and he was quite reserved and humble, as nice and friendly a megastar of his stature you could meet.

Very well said.

🤘🤘🤘

Al Bundy needs to be on the cover of your first album.

@@georgeohwell7428 Yes indeed!

That idea reminds me of BLT jack Bruce, bill lordan, robin trower. Good idea. There's another reference too frank Zappa , when he says 'everyday is just like christmas' was something frank used too do with tape recording I forget? I think was like sampling? I could be wrong. Somewhere on RU-vid Steve is at a pulpit telling Zappa stories to the audiance

Why not? I own several modded DS-1s, a Japanese made one - but one I am using now is a bone stock Taiwan model. You can certainly push the tone knob into disgusting screeching territory. But if people got away from the paradigms of everything at noon or guitar volume and tone knob on 10…they might discover that the DS1 can be an awesome pedal!

Go to RU-vid and check out his Under It All series. I believe there are a couple not on there but only on Patreon, but most are on YT for free.

Tone is between the ears.

I've often been told long fingers or short fingers -it don't matter, but watching him here , I think it does
