i been watching the G3 live in denver dvd, and i keep watching the same bit in Steve Vai's show over and over. it happens in the song 'Juice' jus before the bass solo. Vai does this strange tapping thing where he taps the neck behind his fretting hand, in a really fast motion. i have no idea what he does, and wanted to know if anyone here did. if i haven't explained it to well, let me know.

I LOVE when he does that! He's tapping behind the fretted note and I think letting the note behind it ring out...I'm not sure how he gets that to pick up though...

Haven't seen it, but maybe he is pulling the string while fretting the note, making something like a small bend. I would have to see it to know for sure.

the first song in his set is so cool, except for the singing of course

I really wish that Satch/Vai wouldn't feel the need to sing...
