TABLATURE
32 tunes from all of Vai's work for film and TV soundtracks - including transcriptions of the searing duel scene in Crossroads between Vai and Ry Cooder. 256 Pages.
Le parti di chitarra che suona Macchio nel film Crossroads del 1986, sono in realtà suonate da Ry Cooder.
Ry Cooder plays Macchio's guitar parts throughout the movie.
Most of the battle is played by Vai, except for Eugene's blues parts at the beginning of the duel which are played by Ry Cooder and can be heard on Vai's album The Elusive Light and Sound, volume 1.
Macchio's fingering on the guitar was a studied acting job in itself because he didn't know how to play guitar prior to taking on the part of a guitarist. He received intensive training from classical guitarist William Kanengiser of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and Blues guitar Master Arlen Roth to approximate playing realistically enough to hide his inexperience.
William Kanengiser can be heard playing his version of Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca (Turkish March) in the beginning of the movie.
Musician Tom Morello has stated that Crossroads is one of his favorite movies.
Blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa said he was influenced by the movie after hearing the song "feelin' bad blues" and learning by ear on guitar.
The classical-influenced piece played by Eugene during the climactic scene is based on the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 by Johann Sebastian Bach. The piece also contains parts of Caprice No. 5 by Nicolo Paganini.
There was no classical guitar program at the Juilliard School during the creation of the movie, but the school has since added one.
The guitar used by Jack Butler (Steve Vai) is a Charvel San Dimas.
La chitarra usata da Jack Butler (Steve Vai) è una Charvel San Dimas.
The guitar amplifier used by Jack Butler (Steve Vai) is a Carvin X100B.
The guitar used by Macchio is a Fender Telecaster.
The battery-powered guitar amplifier used by Macchio is Pignose Legendary 7-100.
In reality Willie Brown played the guitar, not the harmonica as stated in the film. He also died in 1952, so the premise of such a story is impossible.
The Notes and tab for all songs from the movie can be found in the Elusive Light and Sound Volume One book.
In the beginning of the guitar duel, Butler (Steve Vai) plays a riff that he later reused for his song "Bad Horsie" from his 1995 E.P Alien Love Secrets.
The movie was filmed in some of the same Mississippi Delta locations where screenwriter Fusco once hitchhiked and hopped trains, searching for lost blues legends much like his characters.
