The guitar duel piece by Steve Vai in the 80's film Crossroads

Being one of the older guys here who grew up in the 70's and 80's it was THE No 1 challenge

I always preferred 'The intimidation run'

if there's a better way for a minion of satan to kick off a dual for souls..... then Ive not heard it

Nice, I think I'll tab that one out for later

I did it when I was around 15! My metal guitar teacher gave it as a part of the guitar plan so I learnt it and practiced it a lot! Then I was the movie. It's a killer etude.

Nice one! I didn't remember this one, but I think that I will learn it this week. It is a fast passage that has some special stuff on it, Steve always finds a way to make his playing sound creative.

here it is in the actual dual, Its really the first thing via plays when he gets a bit annoyed at Eugene.

if you learn it, you have to post up a video of it

it would be very cool to see.
I would love to learn it myself but it will take me more than a week..... maybe a week and 2 years

Cool idea! I haven't played it for many years (I'm 32 now) but I will re learn it a record a video.
