In 1990, Steve Vai released his album Passion And Warfare featuring the virtuosic instrumental track “For The Love Of God”. In 2024, some high schooler with the YouTube account name Laci absolutely shredded the fuck out of that track note for note at his high school prom.
Watch as Laci rips through the track below, which again I cannot overstate how impressive this is. Laci has incredible control over the instrument. I’m also pretty sure he’s wielding Jason Richardson’s new Ernie Ball Music Man signature model, though you can’t exactly buy talent like that.
Anyway, check it out below and maybe practice more. This kid clearly does.
