"I was faking it!" Steve Vai reveals he wasn't able to play Heart triple-neck

guitar.com

Steve Vai's iconic Ibanez heart-shaped triple-neck guitar is as much a visual spectacle as a technical challenge. Initially, Vai admitted he couldn't play it, using it more as a prop than an instrument. While this might deter some, it showcases the guitar's intimidating complexity. However, Vai's determination to conquer it speaks to its potential for inspiring musicians to push boundaries. The guitar's design is undeniably extravagant, and its playability has been questioned, but for those seeking to add stage flair and are willing to invest time mastering it, it could be a rewarding endeavor.

Steve’s multi-neck playing is just one facet of what he does, but his use of 3-neck guitars is why he is on this list. Steve Vai’s Heart Guitar was first seen in a David Lee Roth video, but it evolved into a unique instrument featuring a 12-string neck and two 6-string necks. The 6-string neck facing away from him usually has a capo, and is tuned to a chord, while the 12 string doesn’t use a capo, but is also tuned to a chord. Of course, it is painted bright pink to make it easy to see from the back row. The whole instrument itself seems heavy and awkward to play, but Steve makes it look easy.
