Steve Vai unveiling his new technique in a new song, "Candle Power".
Vai says, "It’s a technique that I call “joint shifting." This is where you bend a note while fretting another, but I wanted to do this technique with a combination of double and triple stop single note bends while fretting other notes and releasing bends.

I certainly hope other ambitious guitar player see the potential in this technique and take it to the moon!"

John McGeoch totally nails it in the middle eight of this Banshees classic.
