He’s pretty good. He kinda goes off a cliff there a couple of times, esp around 4:03 with the scales; he sounds like a sewing machine. Chill, son.

By whom? The usual yutz assembly in a YouTube reaction thread? Of course he’s compared to Vai, he’s playing his guitar, an [Ibanez Steve Vai Signature](http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-JEM7V-Steve-Vai-Signature-Electric-Guitar?sku=519833). I wasn’t as good when I was 15, but my P’s didn’t buy me a $2400 guitar, either.
