vai slamming a parker is crazy haha. Its unreal how it just sounds exactly the same

@AB7F9 Ай бұрын

That's cause the tone is in the fingers!! They'll always sound like themselves no matter what gear they pick up!!

@JgHaverty Ай бұрын

@@AB7F9 I mean clearly to a point; its a supeer strat with dimarzios and a floating trem going through the same effects, preamps, ampliferies and post production; if you break it down holistically its not THAT much departed; but it is refreshing to see vai just ... sounds like vai. If you put him on a hollowbody tele with single coils, its gonna sound like "vai" but its going to be a bit of a tangent sound here.

Teenaged me always wanted a Parker Fly but could never afford one. Middle-aged me is now more interested in modding guitars and amps and building pedals than actually playing, so will likely still never own one.

I owned the first Carvin Legacy halfstack and almost killed my hearing permanently with its toneful bliss. Now I own a VLD1 preamp pedal but vow to own another Legacy in my lifetime. I have much more common sense now than I did in 2007... 😉😁😂

Well kids today’s lesson. Know your fingers. That’s where the tone comes from. Start playing and buy pedals later.

@sanjeevmraman 29 күн бұрын

That’s great as a general comment, but did you happen to miss the huge pedalboard at his feet 😂? You could maybe use Eric Clapton, or Wes Montgomery, or anyone else as a suitable example, but Steve Vai is hardly an example. I get your point- that he would sound like himself whether it was an Ibanez or a Parker Fly, but don’t confuse his distinctive style for “tone”.

@rmp5s 28 күн бұрын

False. Gear won't magically turn you into Vai, but even Vai couldn't make a Taylor acoustic sound like this. Or whatever. To get even close to this, you need an electric guitar, high gain amp and a wah...at least. Gear DOES matter...even to him.

@rgdec74 24 күн бұрын

@@sanjeevmraman completely missed the point. 😆 of course there’s a pedal board in front of him. If I give him my pedal board, guess what my board will sound like. 🤔 Steve Vai. 😮

Guys, we all use gear. We all have unique styles. It doesn’t matter what you plug into. Your fingers is where the tone starts. We all have a preference of gear. But the fingers is where it’s at because our fingers are unique to our style. Don’t over think this kids.

If only it was recorded vertically. Anyway. Usually I’d say the guitar doesn’t matter it’s the player but you can see Steve struggling a bit with this guitar but still managed to play it well.

@AlanChavisGuitar 21 күн бұрын

I'm guessing you mean "horizontally"? I was very close to Steve during this performance and the phone I had at the time didn't have a wide angle lens. If I'd have recorded it horizontally I'd only been able to capture the guitar so I doubt it would have been any better than this.
