He is the type of musician that mediocre musicians hate occasionally because he forces them to accept the reality that they are nowhere near as good as they think they are in their heads. It's a reality check. He makes them realize just how bad they suck.

This is probably one of the best guitar pieces ever written!

For me Steve Vai is peerless, he can play with such simple beauty, or just extreme skills and speed, he also can play with a great sense of humour and make me laugh at some pieces, he gives his guitars a real voice and expresion of their own, I have seen him live and was both amazed and mesmerised by him.

IMO, Satch is the only one that comes close, and not just because he was Steve's guitar teacher🙂

I miss the days when guitars ruled. So many amazing talented musicians in their own beautiful styles. I realize that there are still some these days but for about four decades, it was very strong. Anything from classical to rock to blues to country to jazz. Steve Vai is super gifted with his instrument and his style. Love this!

View this song as the soundtrack for a first date/one night stand and watch it again. You'll understand it better then.

When you asked what did he do? at the end, he pushed the string against the pickup. The part where he moved his right hand toward the nut of the guitar, he was using his right hand to mute the unwanted noise from the strings while he played legato.

This and for the love of god are the 2 songs that changed my musical life from the age of 10, these 2 songs are the only that have ever made me weep

Finger Lickin' Good finale

This song is clearly inspired in Hendrix composition Villanova Junction. Both are beautiful

Wow that’s new

even though the video is in playback (mental since he's definitely playing every note and nuance) the thing he does at the end is to push the low E on the middle pickup pole and release it, and that's exactly the sound it would do, it's not just for scenic purpose, I believe Vai in this album and Passion & Warfare was at his top, really on another level, an alien landed to earth with an electric guitar...

He is definitely a guitar virtuoso. Vai is a complete artist that is a master of his tool of expression and art.

this is my favorite from him

He licked his finger and touched the string to the magnet of the pick up creating a connection.

The reason he grabs the end of the neck with his right hand in that part of the solo is to mute all the strings he doesn't play... and also for the theatrical effect it has.

There is a guitarist out of Brazil named Patrick Susua. I think youd enjoy him too.

For something completely different check out Steve as lead for David Lee Roth's first solo album

My favorite from that album is "Big Trouble". It's kinda funky and has a ridiculous acrobatic Vai solo.

This was dubbed because this is the studio version. The right hand over the left is using his right hand as a capo

I have played for thirty years….I am good. I am not great but….very good. Other guitarists think I am…..watching him? I feel like I started five months ago. Goodness.

He pushed the string towards the pickup and let the magnets in the pickup snatch the string to it!

You put your right hand on the fret board to stop the other strings when your solo is legato based

I just hope the guitar is over 18 years old.

Okay.. I think you would really enjoy Steve Vai.. Whispering a prayer. Check it out 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

You should react to For the love of god by Steve Vai

I think sometimes Vai solos are some kind of chaotic, like he was giving more importance to technique than to composition, to the structure. Before somebody misunderstood me, I listen to many different styles and I love jazz. That's why I rather prefer his maestro Joe Satriani, he's still being quite unpredictable, but I can see the structure of the songs and a sense of more unity/uniformity in his compositions.

Pretty sure this song is responsible for our current over-population problems......

Yes because women are famously known for loving guitar shred. Not.

Unfortunately this is a lame mined version ,there are plenty of much better real live versions out there ...

It’s called showmanship…quit internalizing.
