Vai, what a master guitarist!

The G-3 shows must be shred fans dream shows, seeing Satch, Vai and Malmsteen
or Petrucci all on the same night.

I haven't been to a concert since Metallica in Ft Worth,1998, but I did get to see Van Halen in 1982....it was the Fair Warning/ Diver Down tour I guess....Alex had the monster striped drum kit and did a long killer solo.

I was lucky enough to see FOUR G3 shows when I lived in Phoenix, Arizona. At times Vai was even more impressive than Satriani. But I believe Joe is the better guitarist overall.

He taught Vai at first, but I think he gives him more credit than he may deserve.
I'm surprised Vai doesn't play more 7 and 8 strings with those big hands.

I had a buddy from Ohio who lived out in Tempe Arizona for awhile- late 70's.
He said they used to do peyote buttons and hang out in the canyons and talked about a really cool natural water-slide there. I've never been farther west than Ft Worth Texas. ( except for one trip to Hawaii in 2008)
 
I'm willing to bet that Joe could play Steve's songs easier than the other way around.
Vai is more improv-style where Joe's more precise. Joe has an overall broader vocabulary or something.

Steve's playing is a little too sporadic and not enough feeling sometimes, if I was to crtiticize him at all. Something I learned from him - play something different every day....learn something new, get a little better ....it's not how long you've been playing , but the quality of what you've been playing, no matter what it is. If you practice something correctly for 15 minutes, it's better than doing it wrong all day.
