They don't like Steve around here because he plays guitar better than Prince.
Thanks for this, by the way. | |

Thanks for this, by the way. Who's "they?" Not everyone around here considers talent something that's relative to Prince. Nice clip. Anytime I watch him play it's just I can't fathom making my fingers move that quick to make that kinda music. Good stuff. | |

You've read the threads. There is a select group of posters on here who try to declare Prince the greatest at everything - especially guitar playing because that's what he wants. I'll delve no further into this as I hear torches being lit as we speak. Steve is a bad ass. He has so much character in his playing. Its funny how people try to use him as an example of a "technical" player when he exudes so much personality when he plays, its not even funny. | |

I love footage like this because this is right when guitar playing was what I thought about 24-7. 1984 - what a fun time.
That said, I don't think Vai knows how to play what is appropriate to a song. Or else he's a genius that only Zappa fans really understand. For my money Satriani has everything Vai has, plus a musical ear. | |
