He's got skill, but what the heck is he thinking? You can't tell me that 100 % of his "moves" here are sincere and genuine. I'll point out the worst parts. His arrogance spoils the music a bit:D



During the video youll be seeing him trow/wipe his hair back about 10 times.
Even my mom thinks he's lame:D
2:04

2:49

This is often referred to as guitarphelia: 3:30

3:33 is bad too:(

I don't hate him. Come on, if he needs that to sound expressive... that's as lame as saying, I need drugs to think creatively. I mean, SRV didn;'t act like that did he?

Well no, but he does play with some attitude. I do think Vai does these things partly to make a good show, but it does make your playing come more alive IMO.

I agree when your put more feelings into your playing it comes naturally (OMG!) but i think you must control those facial expressions a bit.. Playing in front of a mirror could be great biggrin.gif Then you could have an idea about how that`s looking laugh.gif
