HE REPLIED - METAL GUITARISTS REACT TO STEVE VAI TEETH OF THE HYDRA
Музыка
Hi Everyone,
**We are so happy to say that Steve Vai himself replied to one of the questions in our video. After watching it, we wondered about the recording process for the different guitar parts. Check out the pinned comment for the reply! At first we weren't sure if that was him, but he's used that account to comment before and talked about it on video with Tyler from Music is Win. So we can confirm, the comment and the information on the recording comes from the master himself.**
Steve Vai is one of our biggest idols so when we heard about this new song we knew we had to do a reaction video for you guys.
This is one of the craziest videos we've ever reacted to. Steve Vai is always pushing the limits of guitar and music, and this performance is a perfect example of that.
0:00 - Intro
0:52 - Reaction
8:19 - Final Thoughts
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed doing it.
Are there any other tracks we should react to? Let us know in the comments!

Hey guys, Thanks so much for making this video. I'm very touched by your kind words. If you feel entertained then my job here was done. To answer your question, when I was writing this piece I was also recording it as I went. I recorded it in sections and not all on one pass, but each section was recorded in one performance the way it's seen in the video, but not with the showy movements, and the Hydra was on a stand. The only thing I went back and re-recorded was the harp strings because the pick up for the harp strings picks up the vibrations from all the other necks and makes things a little more messy overall. Yup, it's heavy. It took me perhaps 3 weeks to be able to perform the piece all the way through standing up the way I'm doing it in this video. It will take me a while to be able to play through it relatively perfectly live. That's the goal. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this post. It's always inspiring to me when I see people enjoying my quirky weirdness. I think that's what I'm here for! 🙏

What I love about Steve Vai is that he's always, ALWAYS exploring, pushing the boundaries, and especially, making it fun and interesting. He is necessary! His contribution help keeping electric guitar alive.
Those are the 13 harp stings that he strums at the back. He has a presentation video of hydra on his official channel.

And the harp strings in the back
He's soooo animated in all he does whether a guitar is in his hands or not. This is infused in his playing....and rarely does the same thing twice. Steve is the Electric GOAT ...hands down.
His creativity seems to know no bounds, I wonder how much stuff we will never hear or see.

I love it when people who know react to THE G.O.A.T.
There's an Ibanez video breaking down the Hydra. That's a harp he's hitting on the bottom. All the necks can be independently shut off, pick ups coil tapped and modulated. He has a "climax control", ethernet input, extra lamp plug, tubes, etc.
This song never gets old i love this, I watch this a lot He can do this whole song live

Dude's a wizard 😆. Love that the instrument looks like a hydra. Amazing video guys! Congratulations! One my favorite albums of SV is Flex-Able (1984), in that album you can hear Zappa's influence. With this song the vibe is very intoxicating 😎🤘

Hey Alex! Yeah man, serious guitar wizard, and yes that guitar is something else...Happy you liked the video. Yes early SV the Zappa influence definitely comes through! Steve is coming to play in London in June, absolutely cannot wait to see him live! 🤘🏻
Damn !!! This is what i love about mr vai !!! Doesnt even need to shred like crazy to be CRAZY !!!! Totaly awesome !!! Thanks so much for that !!! And by the way i notice mr vai himself comment your video and that makes it a total winner !!! You guy's deserve it so much !!!amazing !! Bravo !! Cheers 🍻🤘🤘
I thought this was a gimmick at first, another three necked guitar played separately at certain points within the composition - however this has blown my mind. To incorporate all this musicality and technique on one instrument is insane. Again, Vai had a vision in his mind and executed it to perfection….Astonishing.
This axe is insane, couldn't believe since the first shots! Steve continues amazing me he will rule forever and ever 🤘🏼😎🍻 cheers!

We felt exactly the same. Sometimes after years of playing in can be difficult to find music that really gives you that inspired feeling that you came across when you first made the decision to pick up the guitar, but this song/performance does it! One of the reasons why Steve is one of the best in the world.
When he flips the switch it sounds like when on a modeling amp you turn your dial from different amp types .🤯
It’s a fact, but this is the most professional reaction of the guys to Hydra on all of KZread.
I am sure you know by now there is a live version of him playing. So yeah, he does it in one take
I’ve watched/listened to it for the last couple hours, it seems like there’s something different I pick up every time I hear it. Steve is incredible, can’t wait to catch him live again. Great job on the video guys, keep ‘em coming.

It's both accessible and mysterious. And it's so damned rewatchable. This performance is the equal of any virtuoso, in my super-humble opinion.
I kinda wish I'd heard the song before the vid, cause the song blows you away, and then if you saw Steve was playing everything, you'd be blown away again on a whole'nother level.
Hey guys. I’ve played for many years. I think I’m ….decent. I’ve had other guitarist say, your very good , Scott. I said, thank but……if I watch and listen to Steve or SRV….I feel like I have played for 6 months. My goodness. Incredible.

It's great to see you guys keeping metal alive, and your honest and excited videos. Steve Vai is one of the greats for sure, I've followed his career since the 80's. I'm big on finding talented guitarist. You may be interested in checking out Yo Onityan, some say he's the fastest guitarist in Japan, I don't know for sure, but I do know he's a great guitarist.
