Steve's playing always brings a smile to my face.

this guy can play in any style. sign of a true musician

Steve Stevens has got to be on the most underrated and unappreciated pro guitarists around. His ability to weave jazz into his work with Idol has always endeared him to me. The fact that he's a hell of shredder doesn't hurt either. They always say you may not want to meet your idols...Not so with Steve, I'll bet.

Absolutely , a guitar guru. A true Maestro. As another just said, I could watch him play all day. One of the greatest guitarists of all time.

All the years practicing, studying theory and playing different styles of music make this man a treasure. I could watch him play literally forever. He is the best. Success has not corrupted him. Bravo!

Every style he just played he flat out schooled us!

I own that guitar but it has NEVER sounded as good as that, I'd sell my soul to have this man's skills!!

You could put Steve on any stage with anyone he adapts to every style so fast sounds like he's been playing it for fifty years he's amazing

The guy is just fantastic. He's old school with a up to date twist. Cool dude.

Such a humble, down-to-Earth guy and phenomenal guitarist. Never plays a note more than necessary, while still displaying his amazing skills and talent. What he did on Vince Neil's fist solo album (Exposed) is absolutely brilliant from start to finish! The most underrated genius, and looks a thousand times more rock n roll than most others. Not just image-wise but his stage presence as well!

Real Talent. A true lifelong musician. He can not only play the instrument flawlessly but he has a real talent at making demo videos that are easy to understand and fun to watch. He is a true master of his craft.

man I can listen to you all day, awsome player.

Damn!!!! Incredible. I've read several of the comments here...with several people talking about the versatility of Steve Stevens!! I really don't think there's a style he can't play!! In this video...he played the majority of music out there! What an incredible talent he is!! Wow!!!

It has the tones but sadly most of us will never have the chops of Steve Stevens! The man is a legend

Steve Stephens is a completely underrated guitar player.!!! His chops are tasty & he's so much more then the Billy idol years. His versatility belies is image..🤔

Always been a fan of Steve. One of the most versatile guitarists out there. I dont think there's a style he cant play.

Freaking BRILLIANT player!!!! Can play anything, anytime and crush it! My 2nd, by a very close margin, Favorite guitarist. PLUS; he seems to be a very down to earth, very approachable guy. ROCK ON, Steve!!!

Can't stop watching videos of Steve Stevens. He shreds! This one is nice because he's playing a lot of styles.

Steve is so wonderfully versatile, so stylistically diverse. Situation Dangerous (Bozzio Levin and Stephens) has some amazing performances on guitar, with many moods and styles. He should always be mentioned when the subject of great guitarists comes up.

Perfect blend of technique and feeling

I think everybody is more impressed by Steve's playing than the actual guitar.

I just keep coming back purely for Steve's playing, this man is a beast on the guitar!

Couldn't have picked a better person for this demo!!

Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys is a highly underappreciated album. One of the best albums of its time. I bought it on cassette and wore it out. So, I bought it on CD. It's also on Spotify.

the emotion passion and the ability to create such sonic soundscapes sets this guy apart . I concur I could sit and watch and listen to him all day and night

It's 2024 and i've gone back to this video because Steve Stevens is awsome.

What makes Steve so enjoyable to watch and to listen to? He puts his heart, soul and balls into everything he plays -- even if it's just demonstrating a product!! Love you, man :-D

WOW, dude plays the shit out of that guitar. What an Amazing talent. I especially liked his nylon work. He seems a pretty down to earth/laid back kind of guy. Extremely nice work. Good posting, thanks for putting it up.

I just love watching you play I feel like I should be paying just to watch the video you are so under rated. Bless you man you have given us old folk hope!

I am mesmerized watching Steve play. It’s fascinating to watch a master artist paint these sounds with just his fingers.

what an incredible demonstration of perfection performed

what a cool guy . steve is a true musician . im so impressesd with the " hendrix" sounds .

Seriously underrated player. Deserves every accolade that comes his way.

Without doubt, THE BEST demo of the 2013 VG strat capabilities- fantastic Steve, thanks!

This video was the reason I bought this guitar 4 years ago when I stumbled on a used example for sale in my local market. I saw the classified ad and had to search KZfaq for info on this strange beast of a Strat that I had never heard of. : ) SS provided a perfect overview of all the capabilities this guitar had to offer. I still watch this video regularly just to remind myself of some of the sounds it is capable of when in the hands of someone with such technical mastery and god-like talent. So impressive! Owning this axe has vastly improved my playing simply because of the different styles I have found myself pursuing due to its versatility. I absolutely love this guitar, and it will probably remain my #1 for years to come. It provides hours of enjoyment in every session, and regardless of your mood (or your set-list), you have such a wide range of virtual instrument choices, tunings, and pickup combinations available at your disposal. Thank you Steve for your simple, chill, and informative overview of this fantastic guitar! Your technical mastery is surpassed only by your humble and straight forward approach to the demo. I was instantly sold, and drove 2.5 hours to drop $1k on a fine used example - and I have never once regretted my purchase.... or the effort it took to retrieve it. In fact, I thank my lucky stars that I accidentally “discovered” this guitar every time I pick it up to play! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Best Roland demo I've ever seen! Steve is still my favorite rock guitarist! So Creative!

Still crazy after all these years... and killer talented. I have always liked his playing style, and vids like this are sure not taking away from that. Nice guitar too, diverse sounds!

Great demo! I wish all demo guys were this clear. Beautifully done Steve!

That must have been an awesome experience...good for you dude! Steve is one of my favs for sure.

Steve is amazing, real down to earth guy too. Could watch his videos for ever

Wow you are amazing Steve .I never thought you were such an accomplished guitarist what a pleasant surprise .thanks

Sounds really good Steve, you are a very great picker and always were tops in my book and i could listen to you play all night long..........love the virtual strat, you make it sing my friend...

It's such a pleasure to watch him play all those styles. Really inspirational!

grandissimo Steve, un chitarrista completo e preciso, è un piacere ascoltarlo anche solo per demo come questa che avrò visto una decina di volte

No ego with steve, just a humble guy, who plays guitar fantastically

A masterclass in guitar playing from hard rock to sitar to jazz, Steve's the man.

One of my favorite guitar players...loved the early Billy Idol Albums...

I hope they paid him good. If I were Roland, I couldn't think of a more compelling demo of the product. The perfect 9 minutes of showing off this instrument! You couldn't find a better guy to represent this axe; betting they sold a few units just from this amazing demo.

Great guitar... Fantastic player Steve Stevens

Beautiful Instrument... beautiful playing. Rock on Steve!

He and Billy are my favorite duo of the era

Steve is the dirt and the grit when it comes to guitar playing absolutely amazing

Wow. Amazing, effortless versatility.

I can tell by a few notes weather my ear likes the style. SS playing shines through every time! So many styles and he plays through effortlessly. Actually just watching him play can teach you a lot, amazing player-wow!

Maestro Steve Stevens! All I can say man you are among the most talented guitarists ever to walk earth!! Rock on brother!

One of the most unheralded amazing players in rock. Brilliant chops.

Forget the guitar and listen to him play. It's just so diverse and always very melodic. And he makes it look at sound so effortless. I have seen this demo over and over again just to hear him play.

I could listen to steve all day !

Clean, creative, and melodic, with a nice mix of old school and heavy metal. Pay attention class, Steve is a true musician, and versatile in any style, and a cool dude with no ego.

I can't believe I haven't come across this man before today, he's like some best kept secret, I will not be fooled again, he's awesome.

Sweet, Very Nice Guitar Sounds and it doesn't hurt that Steves doing the demo !

Totally underrated and overlooked.

Steve is the real deal, incredibly professional and knowledgeable about guitars/gear. Love his unique playing style, it covers such a wide range of styles..how many hard rock guys can record a flamenco album? Very few...

What a well rounded guitar player is Steve. Pretty amazing.

Great player and both feet on the ground which is refreshing to see :) Goodonya Stevo keep 'em comin' man!

Nice demo, very nice indeed. Best I've seen.

Always been impressed by this guy!

Always loved Steve❤ humble and great man

Excellent Demo, one of the most comprehensive ones that I have viewed.... I have researched many guitars and these DEMO's are extremely valuable in searching out equipment... Also viewed the one from Pete Thorn on the Roland/Fender VG Stratocaster .... This is a very nice guitar with lots of capabilities for the musical enthusiast like me.... So with that being said I ordered myself one today... Many thanks for the INFO...

A beautiful Guitar played by a fantastic player what more can you ask for!!!

Amazing guitar, incredible guitarist, great combination to show it off.

Amazing, very unique, authentic underrated guitarist.

Absolute MONSTER player. Nice MIDI stuff too.

Very down to earth star! This video is obviously his pre tat days lol. Amazing! I had to subscribe!

The nylon demonstration put me in a trance. Let’s go Stevens!
