Any Satriani fans?

[essayons89]

Does anyone here like the music of Joe Satriani? He's one of the best guitarists in the world. I believe he started teaching guitar when he was 15. Some of his former students include Steve Vai and Kirk Hammet (Metallica). I'd love to see one of his live performances. From what I hear from fans who have met him is that Joe is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you can meet. He's turning into one of my bigger influences.

Here are two or three of my favorite "Satch" songs (I love all of his works):
Summer Song (1992)

I prefer Vai, but they are both Ibanez endorsers.

I like Satch. I was so happy when I finally learned Surfing with the Alien. But my biggest inspiration for guitar is John Petrucci. Playing with Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, or his solo career, I love it all.



From his solo album Suspended Animation, Glasgow Kiss

With Liquid Tension Experiment, Biaxident

With Dream Theater, Learning to Live

I'm stuck in the past. I love Mark Knopfler's guitar playing. I would happily sell my soul to travel back in time, and see him playing with Dire Straits (Sultan of Swing era.)

Carlos Santana is a legend, I love his music. John Petrucci and Steve Vai are both awesome.

I just watched the "Telegraph Road" video from a 2005 live performance, Mark Knopfler makes that strat sing.

I also like Ritchie Blackmore, Eric johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Mustaine, Adrian Smith & Dave Murray, just to name a few. Did you know that Satch was asked to "replace" Blackmore after the latter left Deep Purple?

I'm not really a fan of Yngwie Malmsteen.

I just went online and found that Mark Knopfler is currently on tour, and will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan on April 27. I'm going to check Monday if I can get that day off, and buy my ticket!!! Usually, my luck would have been to find out about it after the fact!

Pookie-poo, I am with you. Mark Knopfler is one of my all time faves. Not the rest of them listed aren't great guitarists, I just love his tone.

Love him and so does my Husband. In fact one of the high points of his life thus far was when he got a chance to talk to Satriani on the radio and got to ask him a question.

Here's a pretty heady foursome. What a great show this must have been:

Do you have his album, "Sailing to Philadelphia?" Very good music, and significant to Americans.
