... is a very nice instrumental song/guitar solo by Steve Vai. It goes a long way towards showing how well a few well-placed notes can convey meaning, while at the same time displaying his remarkable talent. That is all.


Oh, you thought this was going to be one of my preachy threads again? Well, I fooled you.

If this thread could be of any use to anybody, it would be to discuss some of their favorite guitar players, or musicians in general.

Steve Vai ruined the Halo 2 theme. Even if his other work is the sublime music of the gods, I'll never forgive him for that.

How about Jeff Beck or Django Reinhardt? Jimmy Page or Stevie Ray Vaughn? Wes Montgomery or Jimi Hendrix?

Music that grabs you by the short-and-curlies.

Who was your teenage-bedroom-tennis-racket-air-guitar hero???

I must say I wanted to be Mark Knoplfer, when I grew up...

Way back in my day, I always air-guitared to Hendrix and, later, to Vaughan.

Vai's version of the Peanuts classic "Christmastime is Here" off "Merry Axemas, vol. 1" is pretty nice work as well.

I am such a geek... I conducted the L.A. Philharmonic on the radio, instead of doing air guitar. :blushes:

Aw, kq, that's okay. I made up entire ballets that I would then perform solo to Gerswhin's Rhapsody in Blue almost every day. Actually it was kind of like that scene in An American in Paris when Oscar Levant conducts the orchestra of himself, because in my head I was also all of the musicians.

You guys are all lame, I air guitared Les Claypool and then got myself a fender jazz. After a few months of working my butt off I realized I could never be Les, and settled on classical guitar.

Thats why I am not a world famous bass player, I can't one up that man.

She's hard to air guitar to, though.

I'm all about the classics: Eric Clapton and George Harrison. I like thier wail.
