CREATIVITY AND FEELING!

Definitely Vai. Macchio is not even remotely close to looking at all capable, let alone being able to play Paganini, lols. Not saying I didn't enjoy his acting, but yea.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 his acting is actually really close to how its actually played

@@aylbdrmadison1051 - When he is plays it on classical guitar in his dorm room, it pretty much dead on. I learned how to play it by watching him.

🤣🤣🤣 you're spot on with this one!

mijo mcgyver Who the fuck is vai?

he played both guitars, so technically, he won...

@@mattnewby123 Thus tired.

yeah i totally agree. but still he got grammies for his composition

Nah, he used a hand double.

My only problem with this comment is that the blues isn't something that's taught. You just have it or you dont.

Thank you for making me laugh @killerator80

What the heck dude😂

this^^^

This killed me!

HAHAHA! 😂😂😂

It’s not that close, but it’s close enough up and down the neck that it looks good to most people, unless they specifically spend a lot of time playing guitar

Hahahahahahaha yes!!!

XD XD XD

Cobra Vai :D Genius

Lmao

❤️❤️❤️ that'd be amazing

lol

You want less armor when moving against the trickier bosses.

@@cowel8734 less Armor means you can't tank hits and dodging becomes very necessary

@@sairamr6886 Yes very true. Gotta be nimble

Oh shit the jackets off 😳🔥

I think the moral of the story is that whatever the Devil is selling is within our power to achieve for ourselves: no need to sell your soul at all. And diabolical shortcuts won't help if you haven't paid your dues.

Not only does he fall back to his classical roots, but he also uses a piece of music written by Paganini, who was known as "The Devil's Violinist" to beat the Devil's guitarist. However, Paganini himself claimed the music came from his guardian angel.

​@@cathbadmusic8489 just yesterday the Devil was at my door selling me something. Wanted my soul, but in cash, so... What are you talking about? The Devil? Can you translate it to reality?

​@@majdavojnikovicyou really lost the point.

@@goranlazarevic2613 yeah, THAT must be the explanation. You people think that just saying some random words together has to have a meaning? Because it sounds like it might have?

Basic power levels😂😂😂😂

Hold it! What about blonde the kid way-way back in the bar humming Mr. Crowley's guitar solo? Ok, he wasn't there. He was gone long before... $%&$%!!!!

Can confirm

But what about that kid on the far left side who only knows stairway vs the other kid two feet away only knows steam on the liquid

Than the kid who knows the eruption tapping line

🤣

No stop please, my mental health, every show that he’s in cannot he canon unless it is? MAYBE IT ISN’T? BUT WHAT IF IT IS?

Wax on...wax off...

*Steve Vai walks in the dealership*

When are they doing the CrossRoads follow up series?!?!? Steve Vai could be a guitar repair guy that runs into a rich and successful Kid Lightning as old guys. Hijinks and hilarity to ensue....

Exactly the same thing 🤷‍♂️

very iron maiden-esque

Its just literally your common pentatonic scale

No, you're the only one

You’re right. It sounds amazing.

gaming

Here before blows up 😳

hii :)

LMAO ikr 🤣🤣

Why you everywhere?

His name is Jack Butler

His character is dead.

Actually a Jack Butler redemption story would be interesting...

@@ArgyleGroove Since Jack was the one to lose the battle, the devil gets to keep his soul. It would be interesting to see how Jack gets it back.

@@simplestrum after the slow demise of crossroad blues, maybe he never got his chance of getting his soul back, Jack Butler lived forever, striking more deals with other sinister creatures to keep himself from dying and losing his soul.

You've obviously not listened to Albert Collins or Roy Buchanan play the Telecaster! Don't disparage the instrument!

Richard Mitchell I have a Telecaster of my own, just thought the concept of this battle was funny 😄

@@jsouthent5127 I agree with you on that point .. but at least they allowed slide to become a factor ...

Richard Mitchell Vai didn’t underestimate the guitar he underestimated the kid lol

with telecaster and without a pick

Yep. Actually pretty sure he even played the part that Ralph Macchio’s character is supposed to be playing. Ry Cooder played a lot of his parts, especially the slide stuff. But pretty sure Vai played that last part.

@@funkybluesman42 Indeed, he most certainly did play both parts.

They're both acting like they're playing, do you really think Steve's really playing in the video? It's all dubbed lol

@@ManikMekanik indeed, but Vai played it anyways.

@@ManikMekanik Just as Daniel P said, Steve played both parts, although for the sake of recording the movie the soundtrack was obviously recorded separately.

Steve vai didn't played the bottleneck part.

@@mastowl_7112 I like Ry Cooder as well…but all I was saying was that Eugene’s Trick bag (the victorious riff) was Vai’s part. He was humble enough to make it look like he lost in the movie though.

U win.

Steve VAI thought he'd make Daniel San wax Steve's axe. Axe wax? In all SERIOUSness Everybody, make sure your left palm isn't slow moving up or down neck as in Power Cord style like Iron Man. Back of your neck must be somewhat slippery. Some guys use extra-fine 600 grit finishing sandpaper .

Wax on-Wax off

Daniel-san was about to brutally sweep the leg.

😂😂😂

Especially when we all know he played both

@@mchamberlain7408 Actually three guitarist contributed to this scene

In early 1984, director Walter Hill contacted Arlen Roth-guitarist, columnist and co-creator of the Hot Licks instructional video series-about a new film he was about to make starring Ralph Macchio. It was to be centered on the blues and present a modern twist on the mythology and legend tied to the late Robert Johnson. The problem was Macchio couldn’t play guitar. Roth, it turns out, was the man for the job. The guitarist, who was hired as the film's musical consultant, also was tasked with showing Macchio how to play guitar while creating guitar parts for the film that the young actor could mime to. Over the next few months, Roth visited Macchio’s home in Long Island, New York, four days a week. He taught him electric and acoustic blues techniques, including fingerpicking and slide. He even threw in some classical. The young actor was determined to actually play the guitar in the movie; however, Roth knew this would be impossible. He was keen to just get Macchio good enough to fake the parts recorded by Roth, Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser. When production began, many of the film’s sets were still yet to be finalized. After filming on location one evening in Greenville, Mississippi, Roth, who was fascinated by the local music scene, decided to sit in at a nearby juke joint and took Ralph along. Macchio was so impressed watching Arlen jam onstage that night with Frank Frost and Son Thomas (widely regarded as two of the foremost American Delta blues musicians of their generation). He wanted the same kind of scene written into the movie. Cooder, who served as the film's musical director, agreed and even insisted Frost and Thomas be included in the film, which they were. Hill envisioned the film's climax to be like a boxing match, or a blues version of The Karate Kid (ironically, also starring Macchio). With that in mind, the original guitar "duel" was recorded; it was a battle between Roth and Cooder, with the plan that Cooder would appear on screen in the role of Jack Butler. As the film progressed, however, the producers were growing less keen on this idea and wanted someone else for the part, much to the disappointment of Cooder. Nonetheless, Cooder was still musical director and therefore was tasked with finding a replacement. Keith Richards, Frank Zappa and Stevie Ray Vaughan were briefly considered for the role, but ultimately with the producers keen on capitalizing on the mid-Eighties “guitar shred” boom, Steve Vai was cast and was quickly able to put his own stamp on the part, even writing additional music for the film, including his work on "Eugene's Trick Bag," an updated classical piece, at the film's climax. I copied and pasted this from a guitar Player magazine article on Arlen Roth

@@mchamberlain7408 Ry Cooder played the slide parts.

what about the other guy pretending that he can play it ?

Yes. I've read that he practiced really long and hard to look like he knew how to play. I think it paid off. Very believable from a movie standpoint.

Yeah, his look of despair at the end says it all.

A musician is an actor. They are someone that can, with sound and motion express emotions and set the mood. I watched the 'Masterclass' by Itzahk Perlman and until that point I didn't see the similarities but his comparisons were truly revealing. I'm not a classical musician but his description of what a musician really is was enlightening.

Rofl yeah great actor. Stop

@@el34glo59 Aw come one you snob. He's doing plenty good for an untrained first-timer.

@@Swampster70 A musician is an actor.... especially in the bedroom.

oribably even longer to unlearn

Yeah I'd believe that.

More Jake03 LMFAO best comment ever 😂

It probably took triple scale to get him to do it. The negotiations might have taken weeks.

Vai actually performed both parts for the film, he's credited for it. Macchio wasn't playing

Haha I always thought the message was a bit strange even as a kid, music is an art form you can take it in many directions but I guess technique is impressive. I actually gleamed a bit more wisdom from it as an adult, in this scene he embraces his journey of learning practicing the guitar, sometimes the stuff your less interested in learning teaches you more.

“Crossroads” it’s worth watching even though this is the end scene.

100% this 😂

I’m reluctant to admit this... but it’s a pretty great movie. (I know, we’re not supposed to say that about Ralph Macchio movies. 😉)

You won't regret watching it, it's worth watching for the music alone, but also a good movie

"Playing for your soul...."

Yeah,that's acting

Yeah,agree man

Then why Chuck Norris didnt vs Bruce Lee?

Lol...no doubt. Saw this movie when it came out. Made pick up the guitar. Still love it. What a great scene.

Better than 8 mile a fake mc like b rabbit , Steve vai is a legendary.

It's something due to his never sucking the first time he picked-up a guitar.

Wow, Steve looks alot older than Ralph these days

Nah wtf, I'm dumbfounded.

born on November 4, 1961 in Huntington, Long Island, New York. Had to believe he is a year older than i to the same day. Not knowing his age when he played the Karate Kid i allays thought he was a little kid in comparison

Because of Ralph’s mullet?

@@egierzal2184 they have "talents battles" just not guitar battles.

Otherwise it would be on a netflix seriea

Someone is probably offended

This is like my 8th time watching it idk why

Well the movies great and I love Steve vai soooo

Weird flex but ok

Yessir

srsly? xD

ikr!

Gamest - Gameplays De Risa Wooooooosh

@@lisztomaniac2593 That's the sound of the joke going over your head.

What are you smokin?

Ralph Macchio is a decent guitar player himself, just (obviously) not as good as Steve Vai - hence it was easy for him to mimick the playing pretty well

@@gaiaorigin9569 - He didn’t know how to play guitar. Arlen Roth taught him good enough to fake it.

Ry Cooder plays Ralph Maccio’s parts until the last thing he plays

To his credit, Maccio knew that the only way that his performance would "sell" the audience was to make sure that he at least looked credible when playing, particularly in close-up shots with both hands plainly visible. So he got some top-notch coaching and put the work in.

Hahhahah

What's a panini

@@rorrycalhoun836 look up Niccolo Paganini, the 19th Century virtuoso violinist.

@@1destined Pagani Zonda???

3.01..... always bugged me , vai rips out a literal riff from hell and nobody bothers that lightnin boy shits himself and doesnt try to play it back!

Indeed so true.

one day you will come back and you notice the quality has dropped from 480p to 144p...

Is that buckethead?

What is VHS?

Only the thing is the kid was faking it

SqueakerPlays dang bruh chill out he’s being nice that’s why you listen to mainstream lmaooo

Nice movie, Vai rocks

Ralph was actually 24 here

Bro Even that kid's part the last one was played by Steve only..

It looks good if you dont play guitar, if you do however play guitar, it looks like crap.

@@combatdentist He played some of the pieces in the movie and was trained for the role. So do YOU actually play guitar if you didn't know that??

Ralph's proven in his life professional life to be a superb student. Steve's not just one of the best guitar players ever but also one of the best guitar teachers. It was a performance match made in heaven

what is the name of that piece?

@@cdavid0715 The song is "Eugene's Trick Bag", which was written and performed by Steve Vai and heavily inspired by Caprice No. 5, one of 24 pieces composed by virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini in the early 19th century. Check out the cover of this song by then 14-year old Tina S at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tXuYLc6rIg.html.

If you ask me, he was paid to lose.

hahah... mmm no

I drove by this gas station today remembering that was where I bought a guitar magazine featuring Steve Vai so long ago it's ridiculous--it's important that un-fan facts are known, too.

i am 1000th one to like your comment 😉

Just like Robert Johnson who has said to have done at the Crossroads in order to become to greatest Blues guitar player of the time

I was thinking maybe it had something to do with Steve Via's character not being able to play the song since the person that originally played it had sold their soul to the devil first.

it was not an homage to the devil

Aren’t you the musical genius, wikipedia searcher.

Yes, Vai looks a bit like Paganini too. Btw, any cultured classical music listener won't need wikipedia to know this...

Hammer on,Hammer off Daniel san

sweep the notes

Any dumb ass that thinks its possible to learn that for a movie, cant play at all !! Losers

I’m under the impression that vai’s guitar in this scene is actually made by charvel. Unless you meant vai’s association w/ Ibanez

Steve Vai should have won the Nobel Prize for acting, as he must have spent days acting like pretending to miss those musical chords hahaahhahah

Well Steve Vai was never anything but second best anyway.

Lol

But he hadn’t practiced it.

It's fine it helps with the plot

What I didn't get was Vai played the crazy stuff before the Machio solo that Machio didn't replicate, but Vai played most of Machios solo note for note on sight minus the few screw ups. I know Machio was supposed to win cause of the plot but still..... On a side note Legend I heard it took Vai like 17 takes just to intentionally screw up

Right. If you know music, you noticed it instantly

@@johnhareiel5118 I can totally believe it. The mistakes were amateurish lol

Illegal crane kick.

*Daniel-san 😉

I call my bro Steve Vai cuz he plays like him and looks like him. Then I ask him why he lost to Ralph machio in the championship. He says F*** he right crane kicked me in the face off the stage. 😂 That was pretty funny

I don't know. Joe Satriani could probably defeat him...

Satriani taught Vai back in the day

@@multiplewhiplashes5461 I know. That's why I said that. He taught a lot of great guitarists.
