Dude, find the aspiration button on your remote and set it higher..
YouTube - Steve Vai - "I Know You're Here"
I do play, though not as much as I would like anymore. I've not really improved in years though which is a shame, maybe I'll get lessons eventually as I'm about as far as I can go teaching myself.

Just stumbled across this gem..
YouTube - Voodoo Child (Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen)
Frankly.. it's a guitargasm.

The Edge gave away a lot of his secrets on the recent BBC programme about guitar players.
Most of his sound is echo from simple riffs to make a more complex sound.
I was quite disappointed when I heard him admit he only plays simple riffs and allows the tech to do the rest!

Quick fiddle with an effects peddle (reverb and dealy lol) reveals those sorts of secrets in fairness.
he makes it work for U2 nicely which is fair enough but he's no guitarist, well not to be included in conversations with Vai, and.. any other guitarist really.

I saw it as more of a tribute. EDIT well it started off that way. I hadn't actually got to the middle.. I agree with you about the self-indulgent part at the least.
Still, 3 legends on stage at the same time is awesome.

I used to play in that style when I was in bands Met Vai about 3 times too. I was well into "guitar" music of all kinds. From Frank Gambale to Segovia to Hendrix and Clapton - Jeff Beck too - can't forget him. My dad is a professional guitarist too so it was no surprise I played too!
Check out YouTube - Steve Vai - "Tender Surrender" and also look up "For the love of God" by Vai too.
YouTube - Joe Satriani - Always with me, always with you
The guy in that vid is very average - there are a million like him (prob on YouTube alone!)
For technique and phrasing and if you don't like the shredding: try this:
YouTube - Larry Carlton - Emotions wound us so (live Last Nite album)
One of the most amazing pieces of guitar playing. If his sound is familiar it's because he was a session guitarist and played on many famous songs - he also wrote and played the Hill Street Blues song! lol
Next in your guitar education would be John Petrucci:
YouTube - Dream Theater - Lines in the Sand (Live)
Dream Theater are just incredible musicans all round - but I realise metal/rock is not for everyone
Man, I have so many guitarists I want to tell ppl about!! lol

Not having a go at him. Just saying I was surprised at how simple his sound was to create and how easily he gave up what he does.
It explained the lack of the guitar the solo in U2's back catalogue though

Honestly, I can't stand anything like that. Where's the emotion? It's just too fast to appreciate anything about it. It doesn't provoke any emotional response from the listener other than a vague feeling of "****, that's fast". Guitarists with fingers so fast have missed their true vocation in life, which is maybe inputting computer data, or destroying alien invaders on the playstation.

Now you're crossing a line lol
No emotion response? Vai and Satriani (and others like them of course) are amazing technically.. obviously, but also compositionally.
Jam sessions like G3 etc.. aren't about that really it's about showing guitar fan boi's what they can do. Some of their slower stuff is amazing too.. satriani's ZZ's song for one.

to be fair G3 is all about guitarists and guitaring The crowd want them to show off and trade licks - don't think greats like Hendrix and Clapton and Beck didn't do that too!
Vai and Satch most definitely have feeling and have an astounding knowledge of subtlety and phrasing where needed. They just so happen to be able to play quick too. They are both trying to take things to the next level sonically - and they achieved it!
YouTube - Joe Satriani - Always with me, always with you
Vai won a Grammy for Tender Surrender! If that's not acclaim I don't know what is
Bubba - hope you liked my Larry Carlton link
EDIT: Francis Dunnery rocked - the It Bites albums were cracking in a prog way He is a great guitarist.

You'll do for me.
I'll check it out now, funk soul brother.

Carlos Santana will always be a bit of a guitar hero - Samba Pa Ti is a classic and the guitar playing on Promise of a Fisherman on the Borbolleta Lp is a bit special
