If you just listen to the song without the visuals, you'll realise every note has its purpose and the showmanship is simply his unique expression of that note. Absolute legend.
Yes I totally agree. Thanks for watching
The guitar needed a cigarette after this performance and might just possibly be pregnant now.
vai's no joke. he graduated with a degree in music from Berklee in boston and transcribed for zappa and toured with the best in Zappa's band before he went to roth and whitesnake, then on his own. he won't just talk rock or music with you. he'll talk serious theory.
He quit Berklee after a year. They gave him a honorary degree years later.
There are no words to describe this level of talent… Steve Vai is a fucking genius
Yes absolutely agree
@@JackJenningsGuitaristyou zuk
You are correct. Steve Vai can be as performative as he wants because he's THAT good.
I’m not a guitar player and only know Steve Vai from hearing his name on radio commercials when he would come to town for guitar conventions and whatnot. After watching his CZcams channel, I’m certain he’s fully aware of how silly his theatrics are. He seems like such a nice, genuine, often self deprecating guy on his YT vids from home.
Indeed, a performative performer performing.
Quick note, the video for Tender Surrender is a music video. Not a live performance. You can see several instances of his fingers not matching what's heard, including the fade between Evo, his main Ibanez Jem for the solo section, and the green meanie Strat he uses for the cleaner intro and outro. He talks about that shift in the bonus features of Where the Wild Things Are DVD. Still. An awesome studio recording, an awesome music video, and as always an amazing case of showmanship from Vai. Cheers!
This piece used to be my before and after sleep dose....such a masterpiece...
Now I listen to it every now and then..
After his stint with David Lee Roth he was well versed in the art of being an entertainer as well as a top notch musician. I've met him 3 or 4 times and he's a really nice , down to earth guy. Not a cut up but has a good sense of humor.
Yes he seems nice in his interviews
I just watched Steve Vai play this song live on 4/20. And also got to see Satriani play "Flying In A Blue Dream" that night lol. Im glad u got to see Joe live while he is still playing.
Flying In A Blue Dream and Whispering A Prayer are two of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard from a guitar, especially Whispering A Prayer.
Literalmente le hizo el amor a la guitarra. Genioo steve vai
At the end of the day. . .damn, he can play
Watch "Teeth of the Hydra" if ypu want to see Steve play a custom 3 neck guitar with a harp attached to it, a 12 string, a bass and a 6 string. Oh and the 12 and bass are both half fretless. Nobody but Steve could possibly pull it off.
I hate to break it to ya, but this is the music video, not a live performance. He's mimicking his guitar part, you're hearing the album track. That's not taking away anything from Steve, he's my favorite guitar player. Period. In a genuine live performance, he feels it just as hard, with less hair touching 😊
Off stage Steve Vai is just a guy. No performative vibe, no rock star persona. Just a dude. Not kidding.
If any of the rest of us could play half as well, we'd have trouble fitting our skulls through a door for all the ego we'd carry around with us.
It is indeed funny , but brilliant at the same time...
Yes exactly, thanks for watching
Any Zappa fan is a friend of mine...
Yes always something funny to talk about
Very cool. Gotta love Vai. I've seen him in Zappa performances and he was young and still learning to be performative, but then later when he joined David Lee Roth he got a crash course in how to play to a large audience, which he carried into Whitesnake, and then his solo work. For the Love of God is a great next step for Sam, and I would also suggest Candle Power, Greenish Blues, Sisters, Whispering a Prayer, or Blue Powder, just to lean into the bluesier tunes.
Hello thank you theses are amazing suggestions, Greenish Blues is a really interesting track and Candle Power I need to come back to that one.
I love that Halloween performance of Zappa's band with Steve Vai, 1981 I think it was. So great to hear those complex arrangements but with a guitar player that could keep up with those crazy difficult parts. Zappa really got something out of Vai that many no other guitarist could have provided back then.
Thanks for watching the video.
@@JackJenningsGuitarist I also saw him playing in Zappa's band around 1979 /1980 at Hammersmith Odeon as I recall. He was young but a very noticeable member of the band. Frank gave him the chance to really let rip on a few of the solos during the show and they also played off each other a fair bit. I remember thinking he was amazing back then - but then to be in the Zappa band......you kinda had to be 🙂
The expressionism in his performance is very primal. The song is "tender surrender", a song clearly very sensual, very sexual, very primal. Why should his performance be anything less than exactly that? "For the love of god" is another very well written composition of his which has a vastly different performative expression. As a content creator, writer and lover of music, I'm of the mind that every performance should be befitting of the song and emotion brought forth in it, making each song and performance unique unto itself.
Great would be cool to see a reaction to Yngwie Evil Eye live
G3 1996 For the love of god. Best version.
omg i love this reaction , this live performance of his is very comical indeed hahah top notch playing but very funny he almost emote sexual experession in real time haha
Yes he is several thing all at once isn't he 🤣. Thank you for watching 😊
I've always taken this song as kind of a middle finger and a kick in the balls of other Guitarist's as, "Oh Yeah? what you got?"... How can you watch this as a Guitarist, knowing you could NEVER replicate this on your best day. Les Paul ~ Jimi Hendrix ~ Steve Vai ~ 3 Names you should know in Music History...
He’s like “hold my beer”
You gotta show Sam this Vai performance. Imo this is his best live performance. "For the Love of God" G3 live: czcams.com/video/mDZuNM3HmU4/video.htmlsi=OGkEVgFrMwVAfNiO
Intro bit like Villanova junction by Hendrix
Yes exactly. That tune is one the best moments of guitar playing hands down. Thanks for watching.
Hi Guys, Apologies if you have already seen it, but if not, please react to Tina S cover of Dragonforce - Through the Fire & Flames, she was 15 when she recorded it, Even Herman Li has reacted to it, and said it was the best cover!! She also has a cover of Steve Vai - For the Love of God, which is just as good.
i hears this song is a tribute, so Im preety sure at 4:30 its a malmsteen neo lick
Reminds me more of Jeff Beck than Hendrix
I’m on video saying that this song is sex on a guitar if I’ve ever seen it
Would have been better to use an actual live version ..
It's so scripted because it is, Vai said he would just improvise a bunch of stuff over the backing and then picked out interesting stuff off the recordings and then stitch them together.
Vomitous reaction
Funny thing about the hair; you can see it's actually in his face, so he's trying to be performative so nobody knows he hates the haircut. LOL His hair when longer,; you can see he doesn't do that. Bet this footage bugs the sh*t out of him.
Pro guitarists?
Ha ha, check out my new album or live performances on the channel 👍
@@JackJenningsGuitarist
Will do 👍🏻
@@BTbass68 cheers mate. Thanks for watching the video 👍

So you're pro's? Honestly? You don't appear to know a lot! Days were when musicians were performers. Who would want to pay a fortune to watch a static plank on stage? - just buy the record! He's an entertainer and a real pro unlike some pretenders who ain't fully cooked yet!
Ha ha, I feel your passion mate. I agree Steve is an amazing entertainer and artist. But yes if you do music for a living, you are technically a professional. The video title is not saying anything other than that.

You might like this live video from my new album if you still have doubts. 🎸
Why’s that goof keep giggling like a schoolgirl?
A rip-off of Hendrix's Villanova Junction which has a more beautiful melody and interesting tonal quality. To my ear, fast streams of notes are not very interesting and musically boring!
Booooring. Three words for hendrix. Tune yer guitar
