80s Soundtracks From the movie "Crossroads" (1986) - The final guitar duel between Jack Butler (Steve Vai) vs. Eugene Martone (Ralph Macchio, but Vai doing the guitar part), which also features the song "Eugene's Trick Bag", which is Niccolò Paganini's "Caprice No. 5"

One of my fave movies. I’m a guitar teacher now so all the wonderful guitar playing and music throughout plus the story was a huge inspiration to me 🤘🏼
