Joe Satriani is the guitar. Plain and simple. No one else has ever been able to play with such pizzazz, such fluidity, such timelessness. That's not to say that there aren’t others out there who are accomplished, they just can't even come close to achieving the magic that Joe Satriani performs as soon as his fingers mesh with the strings. Since the late eighties, the self-taught, multi-platinum virtuoso has been winning over fans and musicians alike with his groundbreaking style and legendary sounds. He has been around the world several times on tours of his own, as well as tours with Chickenfoot, Mick Jagger, Deep Purple, and hugely successful G3 summer tours and albums with fellow guitar legends Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. He has been both artist and teacher, instructing such famous pupils as Steve Vai, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, Counting Crow’s David Bryson, and jazz fusionist Charlie Hunter. Joe’s strength as a player, however, can best be seen in his numerous solo recordings

Satriani's music is very much an acquired taste; many people I've spoken to have never heard of him! Basically it's instrumental rock, with tinges of jazz, blues, and many other styles also. He's a fine instrumentalist who makes playing the guitar look so easy (it isn't, I've tried it... and failed miserably) he's actually been around for a long time now and releases new albums on a very regular basis, each sounding fresh and original. When an artist releases more than one live album they can occasionaly sound a bit similar, but this isn't the case with "Satch"; I've got all his albums, I've seen him live 3 times, and will again soon. He's a breath of fresh air to the world of "Guitar Gods", several of whom sound much like one another. I will continue to buy his albums and go to his concerts as and when they occur - he's a bit special, is this bloke!
