You guys certainly know how to make a noob feel welcome.

Ok, getting back on topic, I'd take my Dean EVO, it's an electric, and a bunch of theory books. But I wouldn't take an amp or any effects. I would just play every day, outdoing even Steve Vai's 10-hour daily workouts. Then I would hope to get rescued about 5 years later at which point I would plug in to a badass stack and get my mind blown.

From Candy Bar thread...

lmfao - I'm sorry I wasn't here for that thread!

But anyway, I shouldn't be encouraging you guys off topic, should I?! :p

Agree with Leedog and outdoing Steve Vai's 10-hour workout; I've often wondered what it'd be like if I didn't have to make time to play guitar, I just had the time there whenever I wanted.

It's still hard to decide what one guitar. I'd want an acoustic for finger picking, but I'd also want an electric to practise certain licks and the likes of speed excercises, etc...ah, descisions desicions!

your pants ate you alive!!!!

I would take my Carvin dc127c, but it has a floyd rose and if im stranded on an isnland im eventually gonna want to play something e flat tuining or drop d.

So I'd probably take a guitar like Steve Vai's triple neck,

I think that thing might just cover it :D

That wasn't a parrot, that was me in disguise. And I ate every last bit of the booty.

We should just take Steve Vai and make him show us how to play that stuff.

And you won't get off the island until I'm every bit as good as you Mr. Vai.

So we've gone from being stranded on a desert island to kidnapping Steve Vai and holding him to ransom... :p

Oh wait, that's acid, not Vai.

My bad.

Porn stars, rock gods and illiicit substances...being stranded isn't sounding too bad actually.... :D

If I was stranded I'd take the time to apply all that I've learned from watching MacGyver and I'd just MacGyver my way off the island. A few cocoanuts, some sticks, and a little bit of sand should be just what I need to make a rocket that'll fly me home.

Vai probably wails on his guitar so hard he probably breaks one per week... so you'd get a week of training... then he'd "borrow" your guitar and break that one in a week... then it's just two dudes on an island... you'll have to take up singing, and banging coconuts togther for percussion...

2 or 3 years later, someone will come by the island, see two guys with long beards and long hair wearing loin cloths, banging coconuts together and chanting things...

then they'll come up to you, and be like "what are you doing here?"
and you'll be all "we've been stranded here for years! woogoobootoo" (you've long since lost your mind)
and they'll be like, "well, why didn't you just go to the airport on the other side of the island?"
and you'll be like "what airport?"
and they'll be like, "you knew you were stranded on the hawaiian islands right?"
and you'll be like "DOH!"

Vai's actually got a pretty good voice. And I could use some assistance with mine haha.

Yep and and me too

Still, any amount of training from Vai, (even if it's for two weeks out of three years) would be beneficial!

Banging coconuts 6strings? Very bad conertations...

I think it would make a cool sound...

plus, coconuts are fun to look at ;)

Originally Posted by: AkiraHmm, I wouldn't want to be stranded on an island with you.

Stop staring.

I was referring more to this kind of coconut

How do you plan on playing those coconuts if it's just you and Steve Vai?...wait, don't answer that...

Now you come to mention it though, I'm not sure I'd bother taking the guitar...seem's there's plenty of other things to be doing on the island!

im not sure exactly how much of THOSE coconuts Via would have.....

eeeewwww! Pale, skinny, bleach-blonde? :p

I wouldn't call Vai "pale" or "bleach blonde"....oh, right...the coconuts...I'm with ya! ;)

sorry, that was the first pic on my results page on my google search... I didn't have time at the moment to pick a hotter girl...

but, I wasn't talking about vai having those coconuts... I meant banging coconuts as in literally banging coconuts together. and then I added that THOSE kind of coconuts are fun to look at.


PS I tried to find a hotter girl wearing a coconut bra, to no luck... I found a couple of guys wearing them, and a few uglier girs... no hot brunettes though.

anywaysm I'm off to work to stare at this one girl I works with ass all day.
