Great video and playing. My favourite Val solo is at the end of Ease by PIL. There is an incredible ascending run at around the 6m10s mark of the song. Believe me, I would absolutely love to see that.
Thank You again Cameron for another awesome lesson. The "Eat'em and Smile " was filled with amazing riffs, licks, and solos, and really helped put Steve Vai on the map. The technics he used on this album was absolutely unparralled.
Great little lesson as always and I love how you teach the little things. You're definitely a technically sound teacher and it's the little things that make a world of difference. You got Vai's little whammy bar subtleties down too a T.
I don't know why it's controversial to say this, but, the original DLR band (first two albums) was wayyy better than Van Hagar IMO. Now, a more controversial opinion...I take "Eat em" over any VH album after "1". "Eat em" and "1984" haven interchanged as my second favorite DLR album but I settled into "eat em" a few years ago. And while skyscraper is a little more hit and miss, it's in the top 5.
Glad you set that in stone because I feel the same. I like VH with DLR and Van Hagar for different reasons. And Eat em and Smile is a great album from start to finish. My controversial opinion for VH is 'Balance' is probably my favourite VH album then followed by 1984.
Cam…out of all the guitars, that yellow DK is your fav…its funny how one guitar “speaks” to you…btw, just picked up a sweet mij wolfgang…loving it….rock on bro😎
Yeah Buddy Steve Via, I am totally serious when I say you are the best guitar teacher I’ve seen,.. I’ve always been able to see what people are doing and all , but they don’t take the care and time, running through it slowly ,..piece by piece and you are better at explaining the entire process ,… you don’t just play it slow once then speed it up a million miles an hour showing off,.. thanks for your time & Videos.
CAMERON, Thanks for making this video lesson, there are more steve Vai "finger Swapping" licks in his David Lee Roth Album licks to look into more to make another video lesson. He uses finger swapping techniques in his scalar licks. Try to make Jason Becker arpeggio licks and scalar licks video
Thanks a lot! I can't escape George Lynch comments even when I'm doing an impression of someone else. I was never once inspired by his music although I think his stuff with Lynch Mob and Dokken was great
Dude, you are a very highly kick butt accomplished lead n rhythm guitar player! Question: what kind of strings n guage do you use n why? Thanks from Michigan.
@@CameronCooper Wow, fast reply n as fast as your fingers move on your Charvel fret boards! Thank you so much for your time. You r my #1 favorite youtube ch. Love it!!👍🏽!
Cam! Awesome! You'v been very generous with your (VH) settings on the Yamaha THR...would you mind sharing them for this stellar Vai sound?? 🙏🏻 THANKS!!
Right, sometimes it's easy to miss notes when playing slowly. I'm just mentioning it in case someone else is wondering why it doesn't match up when playing the part fast.@@CameronCooper
That tobacco road was tight I've never heard that one wtf I'm a have to study more Vai.. I know alot of people must ask you to tab stuff out uh lol well that's the reason you play it slow so the people can play along or tab it out themselves. Everyone learns different I guess , some rather read some rather watch or be told...
Not a fan of Vai... too wheedly wheedly, too much whammy madness, not enough aggression in either the playing or the tone. Which is not to take anything away from the fact that you play his licks perfectly and that's impressive!
