There is one bit, that starts at 22 minutes 30 seconds (Fast Waltz, if you use the track list), that is REALLY FAST!!! It's a cool bit, but I would like to know of anyone who has tried to play it. A midi file would be nice too -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

mirwais57 Group: Members Posts: 188 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Feb. 04 2002, 05:32 i reckon it can't be speeded up. 1. When you speed it up it goes much higher. 2. At the start of the very fast bit it sound like he used a bass guitar. For that to be speeded up he would have had to play extremly deep notes in the orginal playing. -------------- http://www.mp3.com/57_13/ http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/57_ttpo_13/ NB: Avatar = Mirwais himself.

Benskia Unregistered Posted: April 27 2004, 06:52 For fast guitar playing. You wanna check out Steve Vai Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: May 01 2004, 23:32 Yeah, I have a few Vai albums. He can play really really really fast, but sometimes he slows down a whole lot and then he plays with a whole lot of emotion. Those are really nice pieces then, but I've only heard a few. For all those who don't believe me that Steve Vai can play with feeling, go to http://www.vai.com/AllAboutSteve/discography_solo.html. Listen to the clip of Sisters from the Passion and Warfare album. That is really beautiful playing. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: May 02 2004, 05:36 That's the thing though,it's only a small bit of playing with feeling,that is why i prefer the likes of Oldfield and Knopfler,they can both play fast,without the need to tap,and both play slowly,but even there fast playing is emotional,and i just don't get that from Vai.

Slow, fast and with f***** good style!...   Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: May 05 2004, 10:10 I have only heard "For The Love Of God"from those listed,and it starts ok,not really emotional in my book,but,then as it goes on,it just turns into the normal Vai thing of,look what i can do,and emotion is the last thing he is thinking of.

ImAFoolAndImLaughing Group: Members Posts: 536 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Mar. 07 2006, 12:25 ...or maybe he played it really low... then speeded it up?   -------------- "I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach."
