@@ballaking1000 absolutely a valid take. They are all so good at that point that it ends up being a preference thing. Like I don't actually think Satriani is the best player to ever live, he's just the player I can relate to and get the most out of. I don't try to sound like him or anything, but I base my approach to lead guitar on how I perceive his playing. With a heavy emphasis on striking a balance between melodic expressive type playing that fits with the song and fast shredding. And of course the emphasis on dynamics too. I absolutely love Steve Vai too, and yeah Hendrix is amazing. He played so differently than everyone else at the time and still to this day nobody has really been able to copy it very well. So many ppl talk about his lead guitar playing but his chords and rhythm guitar playing is equally amazing if not more so. Hendrix will always be in his own category of awesome.

First Satch song I ever learned… by ear too. 🤘🏼 Newer fans don’t understand that since he wears shades on stage all the time these days, he’s playing mostly with his eyes closed. 😮 I noticed that when I saw him tour on The Extremist. 🤘🏼

Guitarists take note. JS did not become famous and open the door for solo guitarists by shredding. He is a bit of a shredder. But his success came through playing melody driven solos, much like Eric Johnson. Seems everyone is shredding these days and putting melodies on the back burner. Then you are just one more shredder in the large bin of shredders.

Мне вспомнился концерт твоего старинного друга - Стива Ваи - осенью 2013 в Омске (Россия, Сибирь), когда у него была температура 38°С. Выступление было под вопросом.. Но в итоге концерт состоялся и длился один час пятьдесят минут. Вы, ребята, из алмаза, я полагаю. Браво, Джо! И браво, Стив (я на концерте постеснялся ему это крикнуть😊).

Man, Gregg Bissonette is just the best. Always has been.

Perfect music !!

I was a pretty good player when I was young. I still am a pretty good guitarist, but I have a silly problem that I was never able to overcome....When I'm really jamming my ass off and having fun, I can't control my laughter and I screw up. I am having so much fun that I honestly can't control my laughter. I lost studio gigs because of it. A producer once told me to think about sad things like a dog dying because he knew my talent...Nothing worked. I know this sounds crazy but it's the truth. I could have made a good living doing what I love, I just couldn't control my happiness when I was playing. Some of you reading this understand the joy of being in the groove musically and how good it feels. It feels great! It just made me TOO happy. In the middle of a piece I could hear everyone else in the band doing their part perfectly and inside my head I was telling myself "Don't screw up, don't start laughing". I would usually lose it right after a solo and start laughing uncontrollably. It became obvious that I couldn't make a living with music. After 3 years of playing professionally nobody wanted me around anymore. I can't blame them. I see videos of bad musicians slamming nonsense out of their guitars with angry looks on their faces. That's not me. Two of my siblings suffer from the same affliction. When my brother and sister and I really go at it musically, one of us is bound to lose our cool and we have to end the song with a crescendo of laughter. I'm the youngest at 60 years old and we still play hard-driving rock (at least until the laughter starts). The texture of the music that we are playing hits us ......."damn, this is good"....Then we start smiling, then we throw some crazy riffs in, next thing you know we can't catch our breath because it's a great jam and we start laughing our asses off! We need Dr. Phil. We are too happy.
