"an error occurred please try again later"
do you think Vai gets that often?
Maybe whilst playing "Guitar hero"?
:Wink:

There is still hope. StSanders has all his videos gathered here (http://www.stsanders.com/). There apparently is a new Rolling Stones video and when you click to the 'old' link you get to all the good shit.

Arlen Roth I believe played all of the Tele parts.
I don't think that's true, although Roth was involved in the movie.
There was an old Guitar Player interview about it - I know Ry Cooder played a lot of the slide and acoustic parts [edit: just saw McLights beat me to it!]. William Kanengiser did a classical part early in the movie, and it's pretty evident from the style that Vai actually played some of the "Tele" parts as well (especially towards the end where Eugene goes all neo-classical).
I believe Roth was credited as Macchio's guitar coach.

Yeah - what I heard matches with that. Ry Cooder doing most, Vai doing the final battle.
