Haha nice to see that more people like this guitar-player (from hell, f cause )

His album-booklets are funny as well, lots of funny stories how he came up with the songs.

And he uses a true temperament fingerboard. I wish they existed for sevenstrings...

Happy you like it!

A true temperament fingerboard... the straight frets on a standard guitar are a compromise. If you play a chord, the guitar is never 100% in tune.

So Anders Thidell, a swedish guy, invented this system, where the frets are bent individually, so that every note is 100% in tune. There are a lot of top players using this now, like Steve Vai. Sustain and harmonics are also increased a lot.

[Scar Symmetry]

The groove at 00:50 gets stuck in my head for days at a time

 

[gtrbmart]

I still don't get how he squeals like that.

I wouldn't agree with that, but he's a LOT better then I thought.

Vai is still a breathtaking player, but he takes the Vai style melodic shred to a whole new level!
