Ahh, the 80s were a time when you could really act out rock star dreams… and we did! This clip has nothing to do with actually playing the guitar in a meaningful way, but it does show me why I’ve had shoulder issues at 60, ha! Don’t try this at home, unless you simply can’t help yourself. Enjoy S

Here’s an app project we have been working on for quite sometime and I’m told it’s unique. After meeting with the good people at 4DR studios in Eindhoven Holland, I was captured in their studio using their volumetric approach while performing Zeus in Chains. This app allows the user to project that captured performance of me into any environment as viewed through their cell phone. I had a blast capturing myself in a few locations and cut together the 1st 60 seconds of a video for the song. Then we thought, how engaging it might be for folks if we completed the video with fan created content. The goal here is to build a final full length video for “Zeus in Chains” with fan created content. You just download the app, find the coolest, or silliest situations to project me into. The app allows for a 10 second capture from any part of the full performance. Then just upload tagging #VaiEverywhere where we will pull them together for me to choose from, and I will edit together the final vid. I’m looking forward to seeing some of the crazy places you put me. Download links are in my bio. Enjoy! S
I originally sold these guitars in a Juliens auction some years ago to a good friend, Mark Burnstein. Mark started a charity organization in the name of his departed son the “Alexandar David Burnstein Memorial Fund for Musical Performance” and donated my old guitars back to me to put up for auction to raise funds for this charity, and also Extraordinary Families, a leading non profit foster family adoption organization that serves greater Los Angeles. Check out the link in my bio for more information.
I’m sitting in my backyard the afternoon after the last Satch/Vai show of the tour. This had to be my favorite tour of my career. Having the opportunity to connect with Joe, in that intimate space of instant improvisation feels sacred, and quite a lot of fun. My deepest thanks to my band, Joe’s band, the amazing crew that made it all happen, and to all of you who have come out to support this celebration. And of course, infinite appreciation to brother Joe. Much more to come my friends!

I came across this clip of an ok performance on the Hydra from our last Inviolate Tour in India. It’s a shame the audio is not so good. Whoever was doing the lights that night used strobes in the chorus of the song. Although that might be the perfect place to use strobes in the song, I have to stay hyper focused and the strobes made the Hydra look like drop-frame video. That’s not a good thing. You can see me point to the strobes and yell “No strobes!!!” Good thing they heard me. Enjoy! S
Steve Vai @stevevaihimself creating amazing soundscapes with the Hydra on the G3 tour at the Orpheum in Los Angeles February 9, 2024. A few seconds after this shot the high string on the bass neck snapped. Steve was undeterred. 😎 #stevevai #g3 #guitar #orpheumtheatre #g3tour #vaihydra #livemusic #musicphotography #maxcrace #maxcracephotography #canon

Link is in my bio.
