As a guitar instructor myself, I gotta say, you have a great laid-back approach to presenting the technical examples of the artist Sam! Very musical as well. I watched the John Petrucci Licklibrary too, very informative. When I went to Berklee, a lot of the scale presentations and sequences you demonstrated on John Petrucci's lesson, was a very relevant thing you'd see in there Modern Method for guitar Berklee books. Thanks for sharing, Rock On man! 🎸🎼
Wow Luigi, thanks so much for the kind words! And thanks for watching.
Great lesson. Phrases are disected well. Plus great tone. BTW, care to share the guitar sound setting for this video ?. Cheers
This is very great! Please do an indepth Steve Vai video with Sam. From habits, scales, chords and guitar tones (amps and gears). That would be gem video to buy. Thanks
Great suggestion!
I would buy that , Sam’s lesson here is great as he tells us the theory / thinking behind each piece & how we can easily achieve it , eg the piece about stringing the semitones together sounds great
You are awesome. Totally dialled into Vai's playing.
Amazing insights.
Thanks.
Fantastic!
Thank you for this video about SV style
Absolutely legendary. Thank you so much for this video.

Great playing
Excelent!
Thanks
This is bloody brilliant! We need more of this guy and this type of instructional video @licklibrarylegends
Man this is really helpful info I’ve only been playing for two years and I always play with that backing track and I felt a little stuck in some parts on how to make it sound more vai so thanks for the video this helps a lot now I can come up with some ideas my self to
Glad it helped!
Nothing against what you're doing and it's always good to study the greats but I can't help but ask this question: wouldn't be more interesting to search for your own identity, your own style and sound right from the beginning, rather than being too preoccupied with copying others?
I saw one of the Vai's short interviews where he talks precisely about that.
He talks about creating your own musical identity right from when you begin playing.
In short, when you play a note, you want it to be your own, different from everyone else, beautiful and elegant, but it should be all of you in that note, in that chord, in that melody, in that track - not someone else. He is so easily recognizable precisely because he did what he preaches. I don't think he is too much flattered when people copy him (or others). Infact, he gets totally excited when he can play with someone who's style and approach to playing is vastly different from his own.
People get too stuck on copying others so much that they lose or never build their own creative attitude.
I myself from early playing age rarely tried to copy anyone even as I loved their way of playing, except for a few of their tricks I tried to figure out as keyboard player. Now, in my older years that I finally realized after endless attempts I simply can't imitate a guitar successfully enough on my synths (I'm either not good enough or it's not possible), I started to learn on the guitar. And basically, I'm following the blueprint of what I did on piano back in the day - I do my exercises first how they're being recommended and once I have them down, I take them in the direction that interests only me and not the direction that would interest (insert the name of some guitar player who's not me).
As much as I find some of the videos like this one pretty interesting and useful for some learning, I'd rather listen to Steve Vai playing than his clone, however good that clone might be. You can tell he digs Vai all the way, he can play anything and everything Vai even in his sleep and backwards.....and a nice guy, too. Love his skills.
Having said all that, I fully understand that some people dig the music of players like Vai so much that they decide to master his style, and they feel sense of huge accomplishment when they can come close enough.
But in the end, you are you and Vai is Vai, and it's always better to be you because you'll never be him.
Would you rather be you?
Thought you might have mentioned Steve’s hair blowing foot pedal there Sam. Great video by the way.
Great stuff, Sam!
He's so good isn't he! Nailed those techniques.
@@licklibrary He always does! I've been a member for years and Sam never disappoints!
Wooooow, man!!!! Playing guitar while I watch this (figured, it's quite beneficial to "improvise" over these kinds of videos), I just got interrupted by your phenomenal playing! The Steve suits you very well! :D Thanks for all your content, man! You are gold! :)
Rock on! Thanks for watching.
Dude, the first intro need to be full version
We need a series on this from Sam
Stay tuned!
Is lick at 13 seconds in to 17,is it in this video please?thanks
