I first heard of Joe Satriani during Dessert Storm. I brought a tape player and a few tapes. One other had the cassette of Joe Satriani Surfing With the Alien. It was one of three tapes that got played 3-5 times a day. I'm glad I was introduced to his music.

It is definitely the combination of the riffs and the arpeggios and the scales in such a dynamic and tasty way that Joe plays it that makes him so unique. And obviously Steve Vai has a similiar method and technique and style. And the fact that they both were friends and studied music together from the same part of New York Carle Place I believe. Pretty amazing how two virtuosos grow up together and become legends. The same as Jimi Page and Jeff Beck grew up near each other and learned and studied the instrument at the same time together and both are legends amazing coincidence.

I was there, and we were a lot more responsive than this video would have you believe. This was a seminar/sales pitch, not a concert, per se. After he played a few tunes, he had a Q&A. One kid had a question, and Joe called him up to the stage and showed him the answer one-on-one. The applause after that was thunderous!

I just think of when I first bought Surfing with the Alien all those years ago and I looked at my guitar in disgust thinking "do I even bother continuing or pack it up" but I been playing with more passion ever since.

Surfing With the Aliens was a great album. After that, not much. Problem with soloists is that their playing gets repetitive and its hard to maintain interest. He's a good guitarist, but many do what hes doing these days. Consider EVH's eruption sounded impossible, now ten year old girls can play it. It's not about fret gymnastics but about creating. And the only guitar player I know who can do both, innovator and technician is Jimmy Page. He's in a class all by himself. Sorry posers

Joe is a prolific song writer, master composer and an astounding riff-maker. In my humble opinion he is a true genius. There are more technical players out there for sure, but few if any have the feel and the emotion and the vast catalog of Joe Satriani.

+Matthew Mcsherry He doesn't focus on LYRICS or playing in a FULL band with a singer. He does it ALL himself. Make sense? And he doesn't need a singer to write lyrics etc. And most of the other members he does have play what HE writes.

Ice Cream Cone Head Boi - 7 years ago
I honestly don't know if you're trying to say he's the best or not. First you say no one beats the Satch. Now you're saying all he does is play guitar. I'm confused?
Jeremy Freeman
Jeremy Freeman - 7 years ago
+Matthew Mcsherry Satriani is ALL guitar, he doesn't write songs for a band. Except when he may have played for Chickenfoot. So all the guy does is play guitar. Much like Vai, though Vai doesn't have the creativity, and hum along songs that Joe does. Joe is the number one Instrument Guitarist in the world. Most popular as well. There are tons of people who could beat him with TECHNICAL playing. Six string sweeps, speed picking etc. But they don't do what he does anyway. They mainly play with full bands.

Hi Andy K. I think He use the clean CH, with his VOX Satchulator DS. This concert is a show to test some gears. I use the same Amp. For This Song i use the Lead CH and his original JS VOX Wha. The Results are the same!!!

That is a Marshall 30th Anniversary 6100. Joe's signature 90's and early 2000's tone was a 6100 amp, using the clean channel and using a Boss DS-1 as his distortion tone into the amp. He would also use cabinets with either Greenbacks or G12T-75's. His JVM JS Signature modeled channel 1 after the 6100's clean channel

I'm reading Joe's Story, 'Strange Beautiful Music' by Jake Brown. So far it is a real enjoyable read.   I discovered about two years ago that even though I'm Jewish my religion is music, and Judaism is my way of life.  So how does Joe's music fit into my musical religion?  Listening to him play helps me stay well, and not only him listening to all you folks that are musicians is a way to stay mentally happy.  Think about this; say we had to leave earth in a space-ship of some sort in suspended animation kind of like the Star Trek episode The Wrath of Kahn.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to listen to all the good music as you sleep in suspended animation?  May everyone who reads this post be blessed with well being, good health, happiness and much prosperity and that you are fortunate enough to have a mate that you can reproduce with I hope should you want children that all of your children are born perfect and healthy!

Andy Fadillah I agree! I love zoning into the music, appreciating and studying it. Every little flaw, nuance, emotion, the tone, the way their hands and fingers move, etc. This is especially troublesome for me since I am primarily a metalhead. I want to watch and listen to the bands. Instead I get shoved around by drunken and drugged assholes who have chugged far too many RedBulls. I firmly believe pitting should only be allowed in a quartered off area at the back of venues so people who actually want to watch can be up front where they can actually see (mosh pitters aren't watching, so view in unimportant) and not have to constantly watch over their shoulders for that random elbow or shove.

Andy Fadillah - I agree 100% since this isn't a concert number one and besides the fact that guitarists are studying sound and techniques of others, it also is respect. But if a person never has seen a guitarist on the level of Satriani or (?) in an environment such as this on the surface the crowd looks bored but in actuality are adsorbed.

JJ
JJ - 7 years ago
jmgu l I think there's a limit to how technically skilled a guitarist can be, and from there it's how creative and unique their playing is. Not to diminish virtuoso guitarists, they're musical gods, but I tend to gravitate to the unique/original type of solos like ones by Dave Gilmour, John Frusciante, hell even Josh Homme. When guitarists just play scales over and over at fast tempo, it does start to sound monotonous. I do love the awesome pedals and effects people like Satriani use.

+Stacey Bright I do agree, new Apple products do come with a price, but as you said the packaging and durability, in my experience, is superb. Other than the exorbitant pricing it would be too far to say they are 'taking advantage' of the musical production crowd, but as for the rest of their line, they know how to sell a product, which means good advertising. I was definitely looking out for a used Macbook pro because of the new price, but mainly for Protools and Logic. Apple only apps like iCloud file sharing and iMessages were just the icing on top. Those reasons alone were enough for me to buy another Apple, but also because anything PC had wasn't equivalent or compatible with works in progress I had archived.
Stacey Bright
Stacey Bright - 10 years ago
+Chainheart Machine While I personally do prefer PC's, I have worked in and supported dual platform environments for many years now. Its not a matter of bias that Macs are made up of the same core components available from any other computer manufacturer or parts reseller. They are just shoehorned into a smaller prettier box at price premium for the logo. What ever you had an idea of building/buying, a comparable new Mac would have been more costly. Further illustrated by you having to get a used Macbook Pro, as opposed to a new one. While I wasn't specifically talking about the mobile space (mostly due mainly pre-built options), some company likely made the exact PC equivalent to your Macbook that didn't cost as much new.

Apple Computers, designed in California, built by Foxconn in China (like nearly every computer  company at some point in time), made with components someone else makes (Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Micron,Samsung,Western Digital) that every computer company uses, for price that only Apple would ask. Apple succeeds through ignorance, and by taking advantage of those comfortable with remaining ignorant.

Apple probably was paying a lot of attention to the potential Logic had to offer, which is why they bought it and stopped development on Windows. 
Chainheart Machine
Chainheart Machine - 10 years ago
+Stacey Bright Good initial points, but I think your idea of PC is cheaper for the same performance is a bit biased. I personally went from a PC desktop running Sonar 8 years ago, but once I started adding more arrangements my soundcard, memory, etc couldn't hang so it was time to upgrade. After doing all the homework a new PC built to handle what I wanted was gonna be a pretty penny. My brother who had done music production suggested a used Macbook pro, which could handle my preferred sound setup and was still affordable. After trying Logic Pro 9, I was instantly hooked for user interface and the tweekability (like meter changes mid song, which PC programs didn't support at the time). Not only that, but the Apple programs themselves lend to a much easier learning curve when new interfaces/plugins becoming integrated into the Logic platform. Looking at both sides of the spectrum, I can tell Apple has done their homework for the musical crowd. Keep in mind, I don't really use my computer for much else. For gaming etc the PC is the preferred platform.
Stacey Bright
Stacey Bright - 10 years ago
+Chainheart Machine The real reason they use Apple is because they don't actually know anything (or very little) about computers or technology. Apple simply marketed their computers heavily toward the content creation crowd. So when they ask what to use for their digital content creation tasks, Apple comes to mind cause its really the only company that has ever really ever said "Hey choose us for this". The only other factor that helped back in the PPC era was the standard inclusion of the 1394 interface that offered lower overhead than USB that the CPUs of the time couldn't handle. The GUI is the only thing that really separates most any DAW, as at the lowest level they are doing the same thing in the exact same way. Anyone who was specing out PC with this task in mind could have the same performance as the Mac but cheaper, or way more performance at the same price. The reality is that old habits die hard. Apple being the choice for CC, is not much different than the Windows PC being the business platform of choice.
Chainheart Machine
Chainheart Machine - 10 years ago
+ArmaAceChannel Most PC's will crash trying to run ProTools. The only program close to Logic Pro is Sonar but it's interface is not as user friendly. Cubase is for kids starting off, not a real studio setup. There is a reason all the top producers use Apple.

As a matter of fact Edward's father was a professional musician (clarinet player?). So there was an influence on Ed.
The musicians that had an influence on Joe were the Giants of Jazz.
Jimmy Page was before Ed and Joe and they "followed" his path. Edward more so being the rock star (alcoholism drugs etc) the band Van Halen were the next step after Led Zeppelin though the lyrical content of Van Halen was not on the level of Led Zep.
Joe Satriani is a true virtuoso renaissance man (no b.s. stories about him) and he is a well respected family man.
If more people in music were like Joe in character there would be great music everywhere.
Macintosh Apple computers are the best that is also a fact to whom it may concern...if it works for you use it

Okay, Joe Satriani probably has more technical skill than eddie, (as of now), but eddie knows how to make the guitar sing and not just pour out the highest number of notes in a solo. Also would like to point out that Eddie taught himself to play the guitar and joe studied with professionals, which could be argued either way for eddie having innovation and intuition, or joe having being taught by professionals making him better. two way street.

APPLES oranges really

Ed was an innovator though and Ed's Rhythm accomplishments  is way and above Satriani's style of playing to mostly standard jams or 'backing track' style band accompaniment .

Satriani is a great teacher and good soloist (in the style of EVH)

BUT Satrini has no 'intro to mean street' or 'cathedrals' or the solo to ice cream man or all the rhythm parts in Ed's songs.

Ed's use of a slide (possibly beer bottle) on DiRTY Movies intro with Mike playing bass harmonics, Satch has no equal to this in his repertoire IMO .

I could bring up many more but it's exhausting.

EVH made it popular to tap in modern rock music, I will give him that, however jazz guitarist where using the technique way before EVH was even born.

EVH did learn piano and drums when he was young, and could still play both today, however Randy was teaching classical guitar and didn't just know modes, he understood them at a fundamental level and could apply them in all his music, Randy also had better technique than EVH, if you study Eddie's style you will understand that the way he performs certain techniques- like picking and tapping- is unorthodox, Randy's technique is much cleaner. EVH did have an amazing tone though, Eddie's "brown sound" is legendary even today.

My point isn't that Randy is better than Eddie, that's a matter of taste. My point is that in Eddie's hay day there where still guitarist that could rival him and some- like Randy- where technically better than him.
Nathan Shen
Nathan Shen - 10 years ago
Yes I know EVH didn't invent tapping. He might as well have, though, he because he inspired legions of fans to take up the guitar and teach themselves the technique. Without him, it would have taken a very long time to be popularized today. IMO, playing fast is not the key to playing guitar well. It's just about how it sounds. Eddie Van Halen also had a full understanding of music theory, modes and scales. He was born into a family that stressed education and music. He was playing piano when he was 5 and then drums and then guitar. Randy Rhodes is fantastic, but EVH has just the right combo of skill, technique, and style.
JerodimusPrime
JerodimusPrime - 10 years ago
+Nathan Shen
Actually lots of Jazz and classical guitarist knew about tapping, just rock and blues guitarist where ignorant of the technique. EVH pioneered the technique in modern rock music, he didn't invent it.

There's no doubt that after Jimi Hendrix no other guitarist has influenced rock guitar as much as EVH he's a true legend and rock god, but even in his time he did have rivals.

Randy Rhodes was arguably a better technical player than EVH. He played just as fast, but was less sloppy and he had a full technical understanding of music theory and modes and scales. Randy pioneered model neo-calssical shred and IMHO was a better guitarist than EVH, but EVH was more a legend and more influential to rock guitar.
Nathan Shen
Nathan Shen - 10 years ago
+JerodimusPrime This is partially due to the fact that in the 80s, when Van Halen was in its prime, drugs and alcohol flowed freely to those in high-caliber rock bands. Eddie Van Halen might as well have invented tapping because A) He taught himself B) No one knew about it before he popularized it. Before the Hagar era, Eddie Van Halen was unrivaled by any guitarist. His innovation combined with skill makes him a better guitarist.
JerodimusPrime
JerodimusPrime - 10 years ago

EVH is a guitar god and true innovator, but Satriani is a much better guitarist than him, times have moved on since Van Halen, players like Satriani, Vai Guthrie Govan can run circles around Eddie in guitar playing, Eddie could be quite sloppy sometimes.

I think we should establish one thing: people get respect for different reasons. It's not always because they are the best out there. Clapton actually earned his status due to his earlier work in Cream and Bluesbreakers. You might add the surge in popularity due to his guest spot for lead work on a couple Beatles songs. He was one of the people who formed the blues rock sound thus contributing to something new and original..

right. If you say "Clapton is the best guitarist" you really aren't saying much because no one knows what "best" is trying to say. Best? Like, he can outplay anyone in any genre? Or maybe he WAS the best rock/blues guitarist in 1965? You can't really talk about art in such vague terms and get anywhere. BUT you can say that Mr. X has a more advanced technique than Mr. Y. That's pretty clear. Guthrie Govan has more skill than Clapton, eg. That should be beyond debate.

haha ad populum arguments! Nice playing by the way- that cover sounded quite professional compared to most stuff on Youtube. But yeah, due to the juxtaposition of musical taste vs. technique you definitely have the more demonstrable position here. However, I would argue that music is more of a cultural phenomenon than a science; different aspects of it mean more/less to different people, so "good" is purely subjective as a whole. I like the really fast, intense guitar stuff personally.

Wow, you really do know nothing about the actual music or playing guitar. I've heard a lot of Satriani and I'd say only about 5-10% is pure flashy show. The rest is about feel and melody and music theory and groove and rockin out. Satch owes a lot to Jimi Hendrix and I'm sure you'd agree that Hendrix was a great guitarist all around. You just sound as if you don't play guitar (or you totally suck ass and are jealous) and you don't understand music theory at all.

also every song Joe Satriani does is a self-indulgent ego trip that he does because he likes to show off
UltimateRockLegend
UltimateRockLegend - 11 years ago
So you're better than Eric Clapton, I think that is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard, Eric Clapton has been playing since the early 60's, what makes you think you can be better than him? He was good, he still is, he doesn't play this kind of stuff not because he can't, but because he doesn't want to. (cause its no better than Justin Bieber)
TruthSurge

If you don't know, then I suppose the readers can decide on who knows more just based on your past comments. Me, I've been playing guitar since 1974. Bands, studios, albums, etc. Clapton was good back in the 60s. But he is technically and musically outmatched by Satch, Vai, Govan, Greg Howe, and thousands of other guitarists people don't even know about. Even I can outplay the guy and that's not hubris but just a fact. Time marches on or haven't you heard?

"Eric Clapton is one of the most technically proficient players on the planet," The most ignorant comment I've seen in a very long time. Clapton is so far below Satch it's embarrassing. Clapton is HUGELY overrated. You know fuck all about nothing.
UltimateRockLegend
UltimateRockLegend - 11 years ago
Eric Clapton is one of the most technically proficient players on the planet, he COULD play whatever he wants; including super metal with shredding solos. He could write a song like this without difficulty. But Joe Satriani just sits there with a computer and an amp and you say he's better than Clapton who started with the most basic equipment and has written hundreds of songs? that actually mean something, also he is pretty good, he just prefers the blues which is more classy than this anyway

Playing like that won't really get you "somewhere" other than barely being known, usually by guitarists rather than people that enjoy music. There just isn't really a place for his style of playing in the industry outside of a specialized group of people (while there's a lot of those people out there). Depends on what you personally want as a guitarist, but don't expect to be in the mainstream playing solos through 99% of your music.

So you'd go to see a concert where the artist intentionally fucked up parts of his songs or even entire songs and then be satisfied when he says "DURR I WROTE THEM I PLAY THEM HOW I LIKE." Next time he can just play his guitar with a banana and fret random strings and idiots like you will just fall down and worship him.
Andrew Sabol

Why the hell would anybody want to play their own solo the exact same way as their studio recording? That would get so boring, and if they are talented enough to improvise and play it differently every time (and Joe most certainly is, in case you weren't aware), then why not? The fact remains that Joe Satriani is one of the most talented players alive today, and you are just a complete dumbass. Unless you were just trying to be funny, in which case you would still be a complete dumbass.

This album just totally blew me away in 1988. First time I had ever heard of Satriani and went to see him at a local opera house. It was the best show I had ever seen and my friend who was an Allan Holdsworth fan admitted that Satriani was great. It was rare for him to state any guitarist was better than Holdsworth.
