He is. Note that overrated doesn't equal bad.

Words cannot describe how good he is. In fact I'm grossly underrating him with this statement.

>>65534752
He has mad skills but he's an overall boring player. He's a beast under the right composser (Zappa).
Also, his guitar models are dated as fuck.

>>65535362
If I wanted to listen to musicians wanking on their instruments, I would rather listen to a piano piece or a jazz standard. Beats random notes being played at blazing speeds with zero note dynamics.
>>65535381
>random notes being played at blazing speeds with zero note dynamics
Confirmed for not having listened to the posted song.
>>65535362
He is, considering other shreders out there. He's one of the most knowledgeable for sure, but lacks the composing skills of Malmsteen, Fripp or Holdsworth.
>>65535381
>Beats random notes being played at blazing speeds with zero note dynamics.
That's one of the biggest minsconceptions of guitar virtuosos and for the most parts denotes ignorance or envy at some degree.

no
>>65535462

>>65535451
>the composing skills of Malmsteen
Malmsteen is great and I truly enjoy his stuff, but he isn't half as original as Vai when it comes to composing, he repeats himself all the time. He has great musicality and all but composing is probably one of is main weaknesses.
>>65535381
Now this is some semi-decent bait.
6/10
>>65535523
I honestly think his compositions have more complexity than most of the virtuosos out there, but yeah, he does abuse of certain movements.
I'm not really a fan of virtuosos, not my thing, but the more I get into guitar and music theory, the more I'm impressed with those guys. I wish they experimented with more effects, kinda like Nick Reinhart.

welp anon, not all of us have the privilege of being close friends with the man
>>65534211
He's getting old, and his sloppiness is showing. He makes quite some mistakes the last time I saw him live. Still a good musician nonetheless, but he's pretty much heavily pentatonic influenced isn't it.
>>65535689
>Still a good musician nonetheless, but he's pretty much heavily Lydian influenced isn't it.
FTFY
>>65535730
That too, I was basing it off Passion and Warfare, that one seems very pentatonic based, but it's been very long since I listened to Vai.
Is this our new meme?
>>65535860
Nah Steve Vai doesn't rap.
>>65534752

He has some songs that are nice, like Whispering a Prayer, and songs that are just fluff, like The Crying Machine.
I just hate his overusage of the whammy bar, it's extremely untasteful and really ear-shattering.

this is far more interesting and aurally pleasing than everything steve vai has released in his career
Satriani makes very catchy music and is usually straightforward and not very technical, much more bluesy and pentatonic based in his improvisations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_m0-f7N9hM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dMX7IpXnIc
Steve Vai has a different style and is more technically capable with the whole trick bag, but still very natural sounding music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKpCVgMKhOs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqF3dE5RIcI
I much prefer Satriani but Vai has a lot of great songs too, and I love his playing style.

Not comparable, their style is too different to draw any meaningful comparison.

b8, Hammett straight sucks and Young is nothing special, just a solid rhythmic guitarist. Perry isn't very special either.
