Review title: Musicianship to the max
Product review: Long-time fans already know what Steve is capable of, and this DVD should serve as a shining example to new listeners (and new guitarists, of course) of the kind of expression possible with an electric guitar when it is in the hands of a master. Aside from obviously high quality, non-formulaic songwriting and dazzling technical skills, the thing that has always impressed me the most about Steve is that every note he plays, even in very rapid passages, is articulated like a word in a sentence. That is, there are no notes that are merely "played," but rather are "spoken" in terms of phrasing, rhythm, dynamics, attack, tone, etc. As a guitarist of 20+ years, I can tell you that it is exhausting to play even a slow passage of Steve Vai music because of this. Each note must be worked individually. Of course the DVD also shows us again what a great entertainer and showman Vai can be. Highly recommended.
