You listen to this guy and you realize that an actual playing ability is a small part of what makes him great

12:01 "The quality of what's going to happen to you is based on the quality of what you're doing right now." Best inspirational quote ever.

One of the best Vai interviews I've seen in the last 10 years.

[robertstrobel]

Dom Famularo and Steve Vai had a conversation that is a timeless masterpiece.

Sounds like Steve is spiritually awakened! Seeing he also knows about manifesting principles like the Law of Attraction! 😀👍 And I believe he's right when he says the younger generations are quite open-minded to such information; It's the _older_ generations that from my own experiences can be quite stubborn and are stuck in old beliefs and old paradigms. And I definitely have been struggling myself a lot at times to let go of five decades of societal programming. But in any case: There's a new World coming, and the one as we've known it for a veeery long time is ending 🙂

In all dead honesty, while I love his music, I love his musical and spiritual discussions even more. Over the years, I've spent more time listening to him talking on YouTube than I've spent listening to his music.

[carolinevdvlies]

Such a humble and wise soul…and ok…a skilled musician as well😀

[sethcashman]

All of the Session Panel interviews are inspiring, but this one takes the cake in that department. Essential listening.

[barbamatteo]

Steve is a great storyteller, really talented musician but his deep passion for music is bigger than is immense talent and he love to tell to all the people. I think i could be a great teacher.. passion teacher.

[stevemartin]

Common sense wisdom, humility, generosity, authenticity, and he didn't even play a note. Totally amazing to hear (and it's true what he says, "it's all out there" to read) an elite level rock musician talk about this. Brilliant! Thanks Steve!

Vai was my next door neighbor back in the early 2000s, he’s a great dude. This interview is in the Penthouse of the Sunset Tower btw. Great location.

[rogeralleyne]

Steve Vai dropping that existential knowledge!!!🙏🙏🙏

[GoatMee]

"Frank had big wings." Awesome statement.

[EVEROSFP]

"In fantasy there is doubt in it..."Thanks Steve!

[FrisellFan]

Hands down... that was....the....best talk from any musician I have ever most a well respected guy in the business! I could listen to Steve Vai talk it would always produce something something to pass along to

[tmitz]

Steve is truly a blessing!! It's not the guitar...its the man. :-)

[subramaniantr]

Forget the guitar. This is humility!! An unassuming student even one is a master.

[mightyV]

"Those fears are in the collective, they're not even your own" - Oh em gee, I sooo understand what Steve is talking about there! And it's not easy to switch that chatter of the mind off or to at least ignore it either! 😏 I've been watching a whole bunch of these interviews over the past two days, and one recurring thing I've noticed is the advice to be in the Now, to be in the present moment; Which I agree with, too! And _that_ really is a great way to quieten that negative chatter of the mind! 😀👍 Thank you Dom and team for these great and very inspirational talks! 😀 And I'm happy to hear that Dom's health has been improving 😊🙏

[ryedylantm]

"You can't find the enthusiasm in anything if it's obscured by fear." Well said Sir Vai.😊
