does anyone know what the ending neoclassical song is at the ending dual where Ralph Machio owned Steve Vai?

It's Called "Eugene's trick bag"

As for ralph... I guess he was too old for another Karate Kid

Slammer got it right,
Steve Vai covers his own parts in the movie & Ry Cooder played Macchio's parts.

hope this helps


Vai pretty much snagged Paginini's 5th Caprice for the basis of his solo, check out Jason Becker doing the 5th

He was like 25 when recording the Karate Kid movies, he's close to 50 now but still look like 15 so he's planning another Karate Kid sequel

Eugene trick bag it is called, and it is actually Paganini's 5th caprice cover.

I learned to play Vai's version and Paginini's ages ago, if you go back and listen-Vai only teases the theme in the begining the whole rest of the solo is not part of the 5th Caprice....Jason B's version is much closer to the real version

p.s sorry for off topic.

What is played before the paganini stuff is some kind of variation over Villa Lobos Study Nº2.
