Hey kris i've been following this solo for a few weeks now and i got down pretty good i just can't get the right sound, u mind helping me out
- Kristofer Dahl14th February 2007
jams: The sound will come from precision (synchronising left and reight hand - loads of practice) and vibrato & bending practice.
I really don't have a Vai:ish setup, I go for the sounds that come from the techniques!

that's the spirit Slickster!
May I suggest you pick one single lick to try to learn from this lesson, and once you have practiced it for a while see if you jam around with it over a backing of your choice. I find this is the most rewarding way to tackle difficult lessons.

- Statistics
Few modern rock guitarsist have had such a major impact on the guitar community as Steve Vai.
Mr Vai's musical ability comprises of strong, unpredictable compositions - as well as a technical driven guitar style with innovative techniques and melodies.
In this lesson lesson we will approach Steve's pattented tones and techniques by analysing "Vai slides", whammy-bar tricks, lydian mode and plain shred!
The backing tracks should allow you to start practicing these techniques slowly - and gradually work your way to the top!
As always, if this feels way to difficult for you - just focus on nailing one single lick. Give it a lot of time - eventually move over to the next one.
