I figured his hands would be bigger.

His music is fucking awful

Mr. 2 good songs. Whispering a prayer and For the love of God. It's a shame for a musician who played with Zappa.

All Steve Vai does is play a million notes per second, he has no feel

You clearly haven't listened to flamenco guitarists.
I'm and I'm not defending Vai by any stretch of imagination.

fucking loved Steve Vai as Satan's guitarist in the Crossroads movie, he also played the solo Ralph Macchio plays in the movie to win the guitar battle

basically trying to be a modern day Frank Zappa and failing miserably

should just play other people's music since he's an awful songwriter but great player

>basically trying to be a modern day Frank Zappa
I think he gave up on that dream after his debut solo album.

He's done some instructional stuff that significantly helped my guitar technique when I was starting out, so he'll always have my respect for that.

But I can't stand his music or overall style. It's not even that he's a just "shredder," because he does a lot more than that. But he's cartoonishly exaggerated in everything he does, like some PUA elder god. His "soulful" playing is honestly worse than his shredding for me, and sounds like softcore porn music (and his face/mannerisms while playing like that doesn't help).

Not really a fan of him. There are a number of better technical players.

>All Steve Vai does is play a million notes per second, he has no feel

That is simply not true. All that comment shows is that you really haven't listened to his music.

He has amazing chops, a great sense of humour and doesnt take himself too seriously.

He is one wacky dude who has some really wacky songs...hes a fun listen

Passion and Warfare is one of the greatest guitar records ever.

People who say he is just a shredder are ignorant plebs.

I don't like his use of the whammy bar.

HIS NAME IS STEVIE VAI AND HES A CRAZY GUY...LAST NOVEMBER I RECALL HE NEEDED A SPANKING.
