Joe Satriani is a legend among guitar players. He's old now, but him, Steve Vai, and some others are legendary. His song "Surfing with the Alien" was a huge hit and was even in some games like NASCAR 99.

Satch stopped the song and was like no dude it wasn’t him it was that guy. After the show I got to talk to him and he was like if you’re ever in Cali and want lessons look me up. He’s real down to earth for being an alien.

Alright guys here we go. The electric guitar is capable of producing a lot of different sounds depending on who is playing it. The sounds you had never heard before were coming from Joe using the whammy bar (or tremelo bar). It allows the player to lower or raise the pitch of the strings by either pushing down on it (to lower) or pulling up on it (to raise the pitch). The brown guitar (Acoustic) can have whats called an under saddle pick up installed or built into when the guitar is made. Then you plug it into an amp or the p.a. system of a venue you're playing. Its the only way you could hear that guitar with the band playing. Electric guitars can be plugged into different pedals also that change the sound of a guitar

Proof positive of how different and crazy a guitar can sound based on who is driving it would be Tom Morello.

Satch was pretty much responsible for popularising guitar instrumentals when he released the Surfing with the Alien album in 1987, and 'Always with me, Always with you' was getting a lot of radio play, while the album's title track seemed to turn up everywhere. 😏 Fun fact: Joe played nearly everything on the record himself! What separates him from many other rock guitar virtuousos are his compositions... very melodic and 'song-like'.

One of the greatest guitar players ever!

The genius of Joe Satriani is audible in the studio and visible on stage... a shy kid from the East Coast, he picked up guitar in the 70's, and found himself teaching guitar to students - guitar hero Steve Vai was an early student. He moved to California and played in a band called The Squares, but supported himself by teaching guitar (Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Larry LaLonde of Primus were his students in the 80's). In 1986, he recorded an album of guitar instrumental music (which was not commercially viable in those years), going into enormous credit card debt to release his first album 'Not of this Earth', which he reportedly sold copies of out of the trunk of his car. Relativity records signed Joe Satriani in 1987 and released his next album 'Surfing with the Alien' - it shocked everyone by charting and selling a half million copies in the US as a guitar instrumental record. This video was for the track 'Flying in a blue dream' from the same album name in 1989, which became another gold-selling success... Satriani peaked w/ the 1991 album 'The Extremist'... the track 'Summer song' became a standout single. It was followed by a 2 CD album 'Time machine' (1993) which featured a studio album and a live disc. In 1993, Joe Satriani also did a tour as the fill-in guitarist of Deep Purple, when their guitarist Ritchie Blackmore left the band... Guitarist Steve Morse would join Deep Purple in 1994. Over the years, Joe Satriani has recorded a string of instrumental albums and supported them w/ headlining tours... He established the G3 tour w/ guitarist Steve Vai, which had a few successful runs over years. Some of his notable records are: 'Crystal planet' (1998)... 'Super colossal' (2006)... ''Shockwave supernova' (2015). His latest album is 'The elephant of Mars' (2022). Satriani also recorded 2 albums as the band Chickenfoot w/ former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals), Michael Anthony (bass), and Chad Smith (drums) from the Red Hot Chili Peppers... 'Chickenfoot' (2009) and 'Chickenfoot III' (2011).

Joe Satriani is so amazingly talented...the man with the brown guitar is playing a regular acoustic guitar :) If you want great blues guitar try Stevie Ray Vaughn's friend the late Jeff Healy - See the Light (live) :)

I think I have one that will shock you.....Look up Roy Clark on the Odd Couple......the Odd Couple was a sit-com back in the 70's and Roy Clark of Hee Haw is a guest.......he is arguably one of the best guitarist ever. Also...check out Steve Vai........Tender Surrender.......he is an amazing player also.

So cool you guys picked JOE! Love your reactions.

Any song from that concert, "Joe Satriani Live 2006" is amazing. He sings with his guitar and I'd personally recommend "Ten Words" coz of its simplicity you wonder how no-one has ever thought of it before. Keep it up guys

Check out Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Another guitar legend. Great song.

The base melody of the keys and acoustic guitar just shows how much of a composition this is. I heard this song on WXRT about 30 years ago and immediately bought the CD. I really appreciate seeing other people find this absolute GEM. You guys are awesome!!✌️

Love your videos guys! I've been a huge Joe Satriani fan since I was a kid. Got to see him live and he's amazing. FYI - as long as your acoustic guitar has a pickup inside, you can plug it into an amp.

That sound is a whammy bar and feedback... the whammy bar loosens or tightens the strings depending on the direction it is moved. look up feedback, its like sound loop through the amp and guitar

as a life long music lover of all genres its great to see you guys getting exposed and opened up to all the various styles of popular music that is out there yeah ;)

Summer Song is what introduced me to Joe after I heard it in a commercial great song but "Surfing with Aliens" is epic

Very influential guitarist Mr. Satch Boogie himself taught Kirk Hammet of Metallica and Steve Vai to play guitar the right. Glad you guys enjoyed it!

In my opinion he is the best! he plays with such feeling and being able to phrase his notes and he gets tones and feeling that nobody else can do. I seen him several times on the G3 tour a few years back I saw him with Steve Vai and Neal schon made a surprise visit and it was awesome!

Joe is a great player played his music for 10 years summer song, friends and two other songs I can’t remember right now great stuff love him

I heard "Surfin' with the alien" on the radio.Bought the album a day later,and my first electric guitar about a week later. The fat brown guitar is acoustic,but almost all modern guitars are plug-n-play. Meaning that they have built in electronics to pick up vibrations and send them for amplification. Satch has pretty much mastered his craft and owns it.Watching a live show borders on being church.You guys chose a great song."Summer Song" is probably my favorite,but his catalog is HUGE.

Satch is my fav guitarist of all time and it was very entertaining to see your reaction to that for the first time. Very cool video.

Charging a guitar...LOLOLOLOLOL PRICELESS! Love this channel.

There's a regular guitar and then there are bass guitars, they have thick strings and lower notes. Out of guitars you could have acoustics (wooden ones) they can have pick ups inside them sometimes so you could plug it in to amplify the sound (acoustic electrics) or just have a regular acoustic without. Some electric guitars, which have solid wood bodies, mostly, could have a battery inside them to amplify the pickups even more acoustics have hollow bodies. Basically there's a lot of different kinds of guitars and shit. Sick video!

Now do Steve Vai...."For the Love of God" live with the orchestra. Joe Satriani was the guitar teacher of Steve Vai when Steve was a teenager.

Love all of your reactions!

Absolutely awesome guitarist he's in a league of his own got to see him October 6th in Salina Kansas excellent excellent show

Joe Satriani’s Summer Song is a great driving song. Also check out Steve Vai. Satriani was one of Vai’s guitar teachers. Also check out Tony MacAlpine who often gets forgotten but is an amazing guitarist from the same era.

Just suggested this to you...and bam... he is amazing. have seen live...and still going strong...summer song is my fave..this is second...I dont know anyone else who can play like Joe and make it look easy

"Acoustic" guitars can be microphoned up, fitted with a temporary pickup, or are made as an acoustic/electric combo. There are many styles, from classical nylon(or catgut) string, to concert form(nylon/catgut or full steel string), to dreadnaught steel string. Those and other styles are then perhaps further modified. "Electric" guitars are often solid body(ie, carved from one piece of wood and solid), or semi-solid bodied (ie, carved from a piece of wood and then slightly hollowed out). Gibson makes some awesome semi-hollow guitars, if I remember correctly. The neck of the guitar can be an attachment or also part of the solid wood carving process. Then, you add analog or digital "pickups". Humbucklers for example are perhaps an industry standard for pure analog style pickups. EMG makes digital pickups that are sometimes preferred by metal or whatever musicians. The pickups grab the sound digitally and transfer the noise into an analog form. Humbucklers do not require the digitization process.

@rogerdaly6326

Жыл бұрын

They are not digitized. Pick ups for guitar are either passive (what you are calling analog) or active ( they require a 9 volt battery to power them). EMG is probably the biggest name in active pickups. They have a popular set , 81 & 85 , used by Zakk Wylde (Ozzy , BLS).Passive pick ups do not need a battery. Most guitars have passive pick ups in them.

New subscriber here! I've seen Joe once in Minneapolis. Loud as hell. Our bro here mentioned "charging the guitar." Most guitars simply plug into the amplifier where the sound is generated. Some guitars have batteries in back, but that is usually for the pickups that further amplify the signal to the amplifier. Joe's main influence BTW is Jimmy Hendrix.

Lived in East Bay Cali.Berkley way That's my circle of friends groin up in Oakland .He was ''The Squares"' when we were kids

I first came accross Joe in a record shop mid 80s. I seen a cassette tape (when Joe had a full head of long hair) that only had 4 or 5 songs. It was a demo so I bought it and I became a fan. Since then I have a collection of his cassettes & CDs. There's too many songs to list that I like by him. He actually gave another legend Steve Vai early guitar lessons.

I always play the studio version of Flying In A Blue Dream to someone who's never heard Joe before. Live version still kills it.

great reaction! you should listen to Joe´s live version of ¨Made of Tears¨, one of the best performances in the whole planet

Satch has perfected using harmonics and feedback as part of the music. He targets and forces partial mutes, string tension, even position of the pickups relative to the amplifier, to squeeze exactly the right tones he wants out of the instrument. That's how you hear the odd pitches as he plays - he's using what might be unintentional gaffs for other players and actively making them part of his sound. He's incredible.

Check out Back To Shallaball.. it kicks Ass 😎

Satch! Bay Area represent! Flying in a Blue dream. Epic

Welcome to SatchWorld my dudes. Loved the reactions as well as the pre and post talk too. I'll jump in and add that electric guitars aren't plugged into a wall outlet like most electric products so the name can be a little confusing/misleading. Here's a high level overview of how it works. 1. The electric guitar has magnets called pickups... 2. When you hit the strings, the strings vibrate. 3. The magnets "pick up" those vibrations and send them electrically down a wire to an amp/speaker 4. The amp/speaker (which is plugged into an outlet) converts the electric pulses (vibrations) sent from the guitar into the sound we hear coming from the speakers. Anyway - glad to have you along for the ride! 🤘🎸

I've been following Joe since the not of this Earth album and when I first heard am I knew there was something special about him I've been following him ever since I have nearly all of his CD. I believe he's the only instrumentalist has won a Grammy just on instrumental music alone

Steve Vai - Bad Horsie........Y'all will trip out!

Just Saw Joe in Spokane, Washington, on Sept 29th.He STILL Rocks! My Third time seeing Joe Live. Eric Johnson is one of Joe's proteges. Add to that Steve Vai and Kenny Wayne Shepard, and ya ready for this? Does the name Kirk Hammett ring a bell? Lookup Metallica! and many others! Joe was actually in the band Deep Purple, Spinal Tap, and Chickenfoot with Chad Smith from RHCP and Michael Anthony (yeah, THAT Michael.... Van Halen), And the Red Rocker himself, Sammy Hagar!

I saw him at the house of blues In Nola years ago, incredible show and so loud I was deaf for a couple days afterwards. Check out Sonny Landreth too he’s a Louisiana guy & the best slide guitar player alive

I grew up listening to this song till like i was 5 had no idea what his name was and then probably when i was 11 i had to hum it to my mum and when she played it to me on our computer i was baffled that i remembered it from such a young age. My brother learned this and then at his college got to meet a guitar legend Guthrie Govan. You should listen to his song waves. Its beautiful just like this song ❤

Bad Ass concert outside in the beautiful foothills of the Sierras between Lake Tahoe & Yosemite... He doesn't sing much, it's like he makes his guitar sing.

Guys, if you like this Satriani song, try Crushing Day! This guy is my favorite artist, and Crushing Day, in my opinion, is his all time masterpiece. I recommend listening to the studio version first - what a rock solid, tight solo in that one! Speaking of video games - his song Summer Song was in GT4. And his song The Golden Room was considered for the movie Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. They ultimately didn't use it, but it should've been - awesome song with definite mid-eastern taste to it. If haven't delved into Satriani after this video, you need to. His older stuff is better. Enjoy guys, God bless!

They are watching the BEST introduction to the man! Either you are floored by his playing or you are not. (Consider me permanently floored.) Brothers gettin' into Joe? Oh yeah!!
