It's a tremendously bright instrumental from one of the top guitar players in the world. 'Nuff said.

Two Steve Vai songs:

For the Love of God

Tender Surrender

I love how orgasmic his playing is.
Thanks; I hadn't heard For the Love of God before.

Bad Horsie is another Steve Vai song that I listen to all the time. The "solo" from 4:02-4:49 is great, and the phrase from 4:13-4:16 is particularly orgasmic.

Van Canto are a group consisting of a drummer and five vocalists who either sing lyrics or use their voices to imitate other musical instruments.

Here's their cover of Metallica's Master of Puppets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSpuVsLnl1k

Gambetta & Crary - Mozart in Hell
There's no available YouTube video for this Edit: gently caress it, I uploaded one. This song is fantastic and needs to be heard.

It's two outstanding acoustic guitar players performing an interpretation of the Rondo Alla Turca section from Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major (which I guarantee you've heard before).

Indeed. And he did another one with them that day that’s also really good:

To be frank, I could post most of this band’s videos itt. The sheer volume of quality stuff they have is impressive. A coworker introduced me a few years ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since. It’s only two core people with a rotating cast of session musicians. They have a very deep bench of talent.
