Small clip of me getting Vai-alated at Steve Vais pad

[LanierP]

Here is a small clip of me jamming at Steve Vais house a couple weeks ago. I jammed with his current touring band, Phil B on bass and Jeremey C on drums. Fun as fuck, but I was totally quakin in my boots. We jammed for a couple hours just improving and shit. Coolest dude on the planet.
Yes, I know I sucked, but I tried to do the best I could given the magnitude of having to trade licks with one of the best rock guitarists on the planet. He totally dumbed down his playing so as to not blow my shit out of the water. This was absolutely amazing and so I'd figured I'd share here. Go gentle with the criticism dudes.

Cool as shit. You should've went all Ralph Machio on him.

Then I would have had to 'air jam' and speed up the tape. I have some video of the jam where I try to take the jam in a little different direction and slow things down a bit. I'll put that up too if there seems to be any interest.

Very very awesome dude! You looked quite calm & played great. In the more laid back vid he was really following your lead...........Steve Vai was your bitch! lol

How in the world did you get over to his place for that jam?

 

[PBGas]

So lucky! Many congrats for having that opportunity!

 

[Steinmetzify]

Watched all of em; dude you totally hung. Nice work!

Also, I know I shouldn't be seeing as it's Vai, but blown away at all the shit in the room. Holy fuck!

I was totally Flored by the his guitar collection too. Talk about all kinds of distraction, and the he showed me his giant cabinets with like 1000 different pedals, all organized by type in the large pull out drawers. The guy has everything in there.
Also, while we were jamming, his Axe Fx unit that he uses just for the effects locked up and froze. He was doing this monster descending hammer on lick from top of the neck to the nut and got a weird look on his face, spun around in his chair, turned it off and back on again, all while still flying around the neck with the other hand.
