Title: funny Steve Vai video...
Post by: HTH AMPS on February 12, 2011, 02:14:30 PM
never saw this before today, pretty funny actually, and Vai's playing (as ever) is jaw-dropping...

Saw this a while back. Nice to see he has a sense of humour (assuming he was supposed to make it funny). Astoundingly precise technique but not my cup of tea at all.

EDIT - just re-watched it. Very obviously he was making it funny.

What's with his frets?! Are my eyes going funny or are they all skewiff and funny angled?

 :lol: What happens if  you put an Earvana nut on a true tempered neck?

It seems to me that bending would get weird on the frets that have those major dips and rises, but I've yet to try.

Maybe I'm just being naive but I've always thought that the joy of playing the guitar was that it isn't  a science

i agree frank, blues often centres around the note produced between the minor and major 3rd which isn't 'correct'
musicaly.eastern music has more anomalies which makes it all the more interesting.that said i don't like out of tune guitars and i wouldn't want to pay for a re-fret on one of these fancy new necks.
by the way has anyone seen the youtube vid of Vai doing littlewing and making it sound horrible.i couldn't believe
he was capable of producing such a shitety sound , but there it is!
