Alright all you guitar players. Check this out. It's from the movie crossroads, based around Robert Johnson... If you've ever heard of him. It's this kid vs. satan's guitar player (Steve Vai). Pretty cool. I'm trying to learn it.
If you dont want to watch the whole duel, here's what the kid played to win...

(BTW, everything is played by Steve Vai... Ralph Macchio isn't really playing... lol) |

No. This movie was in the 80's. It's about the great blues guitar player Robert Johnson.

Supposidly, if you cross a certain crossroad in Mississippi and play one of your own songs on the guitar at midnight, the devil will show up, and tune your guitar. Then you would have sold your soul.
From what people said who knew him before he died, he could play anything. As soon as he heard it on the radio or heard someone else play it, he could play it. There was not anybody like him before. |

Techniquely great, but like alot Steve Vai's stuff its still a shit song, even though the playing is amazing.
Steve Vai, Petruci and sometimes even Satriani seem to play all this really hard stuff just because they can, not because it sounds good. Self indulgence.
Amazing players, terrible song writers. |
