Arlen Roth was Ralph Macchio's guitar tutor for the film and played many of his pieces. According to Roth on his website, the final duel was arranged from parts played by him, Steve Vai, Ry Cooder and Bill Kanengiser, who did the classical playing throughout the film.

In the Movie Crossroads, the acting part was done by Ralph Macchio. But Ralph's music part was played by Ry Cooder in studio and then dubbed over. Yes, you are right, the part was not played on an Ibanez, it was likely done with a Fender Stratocaster. Ralph didn't know how to play guitar before taking the part in Crossroads.

I suppose another way of reaching that high note at the end of Paganini's fifth is that you could use pinch harmonic on the 6th string on the bottom. It's hard to do when you are finding the right harmonic and it's so thin that it would be hard to hear without the amp or distortion effects. Good break down. (no pun intended)

Ralph's guitar is played by ry cooder and Steve vai essentially plays himself. The duel is indeed both of them playing except for the very end, the bit titled "Eugene's trick bag" which is Steve vai playing. The karate kid does not play anything, it's clever camera work.

I don’t get it, this video has absolutely nothing to do with the title you put!!! You put basically that Ralph Macchio was “ faking “ his guitar 🎸 playing but I don’t really feel that you proved that. I’m not a professional on the subject but to me you did not prove that he was “ fake “ playing. I mean we all know that movies embellish things but I don’t think it was fake!!! Some of the things you say in this video sounds like things that a guitar player says about someone’s playing because they themselves can’t play that fast or they cannot master the person they are talking about technique. Just sayin...

@LeviAWilson 2 жыл бұрын

What I always thought would have been really cool in this movie was that instead of Steve Vai doing some of the other guitar parts that Ralph did and then acting like he couldn't play them for the movie part of his character's role, I thought they should have had Yngwine Malmsteen play some of those parts. And then there would have been guitar parts that Steve Vai really couldn't play. Because Steve even said in an interview once: "I can't play like Yngwine. Nobody can play like him. What I would do was take the harmony or melody of the song and play it the way that I would do it. It was challenging because there were a lot of little fast runs that he does with his fingers and his tonal center, which is a lot different than mine." So yeah, that would have been awesome in the movie to have had Yngwine Malmsteen do some guitar stuff. Yngwine is a classically trained guitar player who switched to playing heavy metal music. He said that he grew up with his entire family all being classically trained musicians and vocalists. He himself got his first guitar at age 5 and started guitar training seriously at age 7.
