i think I play this song very well now, however just being able to do something doesn't make it easy. The things that Michael Jordan seemed effortless when he did them, but I doubt even he would say that he's athletic performances were easy. He had just trained enough so that his skill made his performances possible.Quote: from Big Job on 6:17 am on Aug. 2, 2001
Not trying to start a big arguement here I find juice easy, well I can do it, and I think well. If you want real hard on the Vai frount try 'Kill the guy with the ball' that gives me nightmares and I have spent a lot of time trying to do it. However thats just me......
Yes... "Juice" just kills me! But I won't try to figure it (again!) for a while...Quote: from Cory Bottone on 2:30 pm on Aug. 3, 2001
Hey Carlos, I said the same exact thing about juice on a topic a long time ago. I can't play it either! It seems everyone here can but me! The hardest one I've came across is probably Fire Garden Suite (because of that end sweeping part) and Juice. But then again, I've never tried anything from P&W except FTLOG and Blue Powder.
Hey... I've also spent a lot of time on "Tender Surrender". But it does worth all the work... it's the greatest Vai song, in my opinion!Quote: from ripl3y on 7:47 pm on Aug. 3, 2001
I don't attempt many of his songs to be honest, I seem to have more joy with Joe's work.
But one I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on (so much so that it's now starting to annoy me) is Tender Surrender, basically because it is just the greatest tune I've ever heard.
If you think Vai is hard,try playing some Dream Theater.Their songs are so complex(how on earth do they play A Change Of Season Live???) and it requires a lot of memory power to remember them.Try playing this small solo from Just Let Me Breathe-(copy and paste in notepad)Quote: from Devo on 3:10 pm on Aug. 4, 2001
how do you guys have the patience to go through a whole vai song and try to work out the rhythms???
trying to play 11 notes evenly over two beats just wrecks my head completely so I keep giving up?
I think this is because where my guitars are I cant play the cd so Im trying to imagine the song in my head.
does everyone here work from tab and cd simultaneously??

Devo try playing that solo above.Quote: from Devo on 4:12 am on Aug. 13, 2001
ahh yes DT is quite simple, all they use is 16ths and the odd 16th triplet hence everything is a sinch to learn if you got the picking.
I totally agree with 7vwh its all about the smoothness and what you can conjur out of the music.
I love DT though!!!! I just find it much much easier relative to SV
