I had all of the pointy metal guitars in High School. Rhodes, Bich, Warlock, Virgin.

Nothing like hitting the breakdown and catching a Rhodes to the temple lol. You pointy fuckers need to stay stage left.

Pointy past for me. Guitar is still killer. Opening for Rush Hold Your Fire tour 87/88 with Tommy Shaw.

Luckily when I was playing out in a hard-core band, I played bass. Although even with that I clocked the singer quite a few times 🤣🤣🤣

Speaking of spiky murder headstocks, did you see that Dean's Signature sold out in a day?

 

[Soundguy]

Can we talk about him reading questions and casually talking on his live stream while mid shred?

We can. But it depresses me.

 

[Steve Vai]

Guess what day it is?

 

[w_b]

NGD! But what do his friends call him?
Ying?

 

[Steve Vai]

I have a feeling if you don't call him Yngwie J Malmsteen every single time you talk to him, you get booted.

Wrong guitar

 

[Steve Vai]

This thing is pretty friggin' cool. Super weird looking down because there's no fretboard, but it plays mostly the same if you don't look. Real easy to pull the high E off the side of the fretboard so you need to play light.

Sweet!
...does it smell good?

 

[Steve Vai]

It smells like...

 

[Steve Vai]

And, it's awesome. Still gonna take some time to relearn to bend the first 2 strings the other way. I always pull down and never noticed it...

 

[Steve Vai]

I realized relearning some of these older songs that I've completely given up on straight picking lines. I can play using Economy and Legato fast enough to get the job done but it's missing the pick attack that makes these lines sound a lot faster than they actually are. So I bought Chris' YngWay course to help work on these things.
