Afallon Your an Idiot. to compare crossroads the series............... get a life. I don't remember the guitarist, Jack Butler, "dancing with the devil"~Scratch (Robert Judd). I remember him being the demonic counterpart to Ralph Macchio's Eugene in a guitar duel.

By the way:
Steve Vai played both sides of the guitar duel, while acting as Jack Butler, the devil's guitarist. Ry Cooder recorded the slide parts and produced the soundtrack.

"Eugene's Trick Bag", the updated classical piece at the climax of the film, is largely based on Niccolo Paganini's Caprice #5. Paganini, as the pervading myth has it, sold his soul to the devil for his musical skills. Steve Vai, as 'Jack Butler', replicates Paganini's legendary rolling eyes, long unkempt hair and gaunt stature.

Though the blues guitar sounds aren't truly coming from Ralph Macchio's fingers, the actor is actually playing note for note the music of Steve Vai and Ry Cooder. His fingering, slides and bends are precise until the "main" solo, which incorporates Paganini's 5th Caprice, in which it is obvious he is not fingering the correct location on the guitar, as well with the patterns, this can be seen since he uses mainly the same pattern (scale on the top frets, then another one in the bottom frets) and all the scale portion of it, the scales are shifting and changing sound, but his patterns remain the same.

I love this film and have watched it many times. I'm a fan of Ralph Macchio, Joe Seneca and Steve Vai. Joe Morton has a good role, too. Source(s):
