Love those dissonant notes he plays in between the "destination" notes. Sometimes going completely out of key but landing on the right note. It's very cool, like a controlled chaos. Makes his playing so unpredictable.

Steve Vai always a legend. Aside from the blues motif, he is totally in jazz/rock territory with this one, often playing outside and using unusual scales. The legato playing is phenomenal and it reminds a lot of the late great Allan Holdsworth (phenomenal solo). Steve Vai always pushing the envelope, one of the best of all time 🙂

Such a daring piece from Vai. The title reflects the music very well. It is rooted in a simple blues feel. The piece starts in familiar blues "language", but as we go further in the piece, Vai starts progressively speaking in "gibberish", mixing in foreign "words" and "phrases" into the familiar blues tongue, hence "Greenish Blues". At the song's climax, his tongue has morphed so much he is speaking in complete alien. An absolute masterpiece.

And like EVH, Vai too is a pioneer whose passion clearly emanates through his spirit.

I know every song you've ever published and this will go up there in the top 5. Great job. The composition is not rote chord vamp, backing track, wanking. it moves, it evolves, it maintains interest. You've still got it, brotha. From the first notes of Little Green Men to Greenish Blues, you continue to evolve. The lush exploration here shows you're not done expressing and you haven't run out of ideas. GREAT JOB!
