Steve Vai, solo artist

Satriani's protege, almost as good as Satch Boogie himself.

very good soloist

Steve Vai, i think is one o the best guitarists in the world.
he is very unique and has his own mind for playing, he gives guitar playing whole different meaning when he plays.

Steve Vai's vast range of techniques that is far beyond anyone else.

I think he's the best because of his range of techniques along with Joe Satriani, and that Steve is by far the most technical player in the world. Definitely like the stuff he played with Frank Zappa.

The most gifted guitar player ever. His techniccal ability, musicianship and stage presence are uncomparable. His sound and way of composing is way out of human nature. Guitar is a 3rd arm for him.

STEVE VAI IS GOD!!!! he's the best ever

Steve Vai is one of the G-3 ( greatest 3 ) guitarist in the world !!

When He plays the guitar it seems as if the guitar has come to life and has flesh and blood. A whole new dimension opens up and engulfs us in it.

when Steve Vai plays, he becomes his guitar, he can do anything he can think off, which i think is something only Steve Vai can do.

Not counting the popularity of his music, Steve Vai has created some of the most advanced musical compositions and some of the most advanced work on the guitar. No one, even if they tried, can play the guitar like Steve can. If you were to hear most of his music, you would agree that Steve Vai is one of the,if not, the best guitar player ever born!!

probably the greatest guitarist of all time ive seen him play with his feet tougue anything you name it

The most innovative, versatile and skilled guitarist I've ever seen and heard. You have to watch the tender surrender performance to truly appreciate this musical genius. Definitely in my top 10 favorite guitarists

Awesome guitarist. He uses the guitar as an extension of himself in the likes of Hendrix, Page, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Should be rated higher.

Vai is one of the most competent guitarists in the world. His work with Frank Zappa, David Lee Roth, Ry Cooder ("Crossroads" film), Whitesnake and as a solo artist ranks with some of the most innovatove and exploratory guitar playing out there.

omg! THIS MAN is so talented! so difficult scalling and i think he got a power because of his talent...

Makes love to the guitar in tender surrender, thats real music. Crazy guitar player, he's got real feeling!

VaI Makes Great Solo And Songs
Wich Are Fast And Beautifull

steve vai rocks my socks

the best of the best guitarist in the world...

The problem with this system is that people base their votes purely on popularity because steve vai should definitely be top five for greatest ever. Any serious guitar player would realize Steve is more talented than nearly anybody on this list and aside from not selling out or being able to write lyrics Steve Vai would be at least number 2. Seriously how many people can cover Hendrix and actually make it better.

Watch crossroads and you'll see!

steve is a real good guitarist and brings out a lot of feelings in his playings.
