Members AunShui Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 When, if ever, did you learn the guitar solo "Eugene's Trick Bag"? Its the steve vai solo from the movie crossroads. Oh, and I'm looking for playing time, not a specific year. And how long did it take you to do it sloppily? Proficenelty? Steve Vai-ily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No particular reason... ...actually there is, my guitar teacher wants me to learn it, and i've been playing for like a year and a half, so i was just wondering comparitiveley when other people started it. I'm going at an obnoxiously slow pace with it ( i learned 3 measures this week and it comes out cleanly at half note=100 bpm [you read that right]), so ya know, just curiosity mosly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alchemist Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 Its a decent piece to learn for mastering alternate picking between strings. Rather than your typical 3 per string runs. If you really want to get into the piece, learn the proper Paganini's 5th or 24th Caprice all the way through. Beautiful work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StatesboroBlues Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 When did you learn "Eugene's Trick Bag?" Never. Saw the movie once & wasn't that impressed with it. Wasn't the movie about a kid who learns karate to beat up a guy that bothers people by making weird noises on a guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful work. +1 hard too its a fun peice to play, but the hardest is definetly the dimished arpeg. at the end. holy hell I remember doing tha for like 4 hours one day...anywho, its a great workout. Also, there is no sweeping, vai plays it all alternating (the intro arpeges...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bgmacaw Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 I took the neck pickup out of my Tele so I can't play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAtomicJeff Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 I loved it but never learned it. Too much work for me. You guys must be virtuosos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bilbo71070 Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 i've been working on it for close to 15 years off and on, and I still can't play it up to Vai's speed with anything resembling accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr footinmouth Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 It took me a few months to learn it after seeing the movie, My take on it is slower than normal, very sloppy and I change a few notes here and there to make it more 'playable'. Basically, I 'cheat' all the way trough it But is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
