I took lessons from one of Joe's students, and it's like musical boot camp. You come prepared and play perfectly. On my first lesson, the guy before me came out crying. It was intense.
MyworstEnemy wow...Alex Skolnick is the best one...he is better than Joe imho...it all fits into whatever testament was doing at the time...for better or worse.."the ritual"...impossible melodic great solos...I'm a testament fan so it isn't annoying to me to listen to.
Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett as students goes to show how amazing Satriani is as a teacher alone. Man I wish I was a kid back then with 5 bucks and this guy teaching. That’d be a fun set up.
Joe is just the greatest guitar musician composer player I’ve ever heard (in the world of instrumental music dedicated to guitar) I discover his music in the mid 90s I was like what the hell !?? and never changed my mind till today .. genius !
@@lazman5516 i knows everyone of the ones you mentioned.. I’m myself guitarist and composer ..it’s about the musicality in terms of songs that Satriani wins .. Shawn lane for instance is a monster .. I know personally Brett Garsed who’s on another level .. but it’s about taste maybe above a certain level ..
He’s one of the greatest rock instrumental players, definetly…. But to say he is the absolute best it is a little bit of a stretch. A dude named Allan could say something about that from his grave.
To say these guys can't hold a candle to Jimmy Page is inane. Page is my all time favorite guitarist. But even he has said his mastery of theory and flashy technique can't compare to many others. The thing is there is no need for comparison. We are talking completely different playing styles. All that matters is what the music makes you feel.
everyone can hold candles, thumb-index, thumb-middle, left hand right hand, both hands, tight grip, mellow grip, upside down, on the middle of the shaft of the candle, at the bottom, sideways.... its just your choice how you wanna hold it
...all for a reason. Thanks for sharing this exerpt- a bit short but GRABBED MY EYE, EAR AND GUT. Joe is our 21st Century virtuoso. JUST SO EXTREMELY CREATIVE, riffs galore snd, AND THEN delivering uniformity and reproducibility in live PERFORMANCES. Ty🙏🤙 ( note for note ).
Man Joe satriani is definitely immensely underrated. He is a force of nature as a guitarist and in an all around musical sense that it's ridiculous he isn't commercially up there in the top 5.. commercially though to some guitarists could be considered "selling out" but when a musician at the caliber of Joe satriani isn't as well known as they should be, it just isn't right. Well anyway all true guitarists and most musicians probably know who he is anyway, he's the fucking man bottom line..
Anyone who's a serious guitar player or loves the instrument and it's players knows joe satriani. Dude headlined a music fest in my city in India, the amount of people around me who like me knew all the songs all the licks and tricks was honestly very surprising and heart warming at the same time. Man's also held the record for most Grammy nominations without a win at one point so even the mainstream acknowledges the greatness of this man.
I'm sure Kirk will cry all the way to the bank, but whats actually funny is how you were ready with this jealous comment, maybe Kirk slept with this guys chick, he must of done something to him for him to be thinking about Kirk when he wasn't even mentioned, or maybe this guy tried to hit on Kirk andbhe turned him down hahahaa
***** If you take 5 seconds to look at the profile of the person who asked the question, you can see he or she is probably not from an English speaking country (and neither am I or many other people on RUclips, you know). Tom cleared it up in an informative way, this is how the Internet should work. More helpful people like him, less angry people like you.
I think his best student would have to be the unmentioned Alex Scholnick of Testament. phenomenal player and got better ad he got older. dude was better than yngwie when he was 19 in my opinion. definitely joes best students
He didint realized he realy good in guitar until many people asking him to teach them play the instrument. Wow, he so dedicated on what he's doing, and forget to give a credit on himself for what he did.
teaching is a gift. Dirty DOM has never been great to at it although I did teach a bunch of high school kids when I was in 6th grade. They went to college and got on the tops list of the UM campus around the time Steve Miller and Boz Skaggs went there.. The bass player eventually got a big name with Elvin Bishop a b day others great players.
Still trying to master satch boogie that song is just fucking sick as hell, I think it's Joe satrianis masterpiece.. it embodies everything that makes him as great as he is..
I like Surfing With the Alien more (no, it's not because I haven't heard anything else. I own most of his albums), but that's largely due to my love of that tone, the Solver Surfer, and the sound of tapping with a pick.
I love how it always comes back to their sisters, satch learned on his sisters guitar, Steve vais sister played before him, and if you dont play something perfect in the studio your sister will die lmao
That's somewhat how I feel about the two. I feel like Satch has the better musical talent, while Vai has the better technical ability. Ultimately I like a larger portion of Satch's catalog, but many of the Vai songs I like, I like way more.
I agree. But I do also think it's just a matter of what each of them want to play. Vai has done some incredibly beautiful and musical pieces to. Whispering a Prayer, For the Love of God, Tender Surrender. Satch has more of a basic approach when it come to sound and the way he utilises the instrument but he has also done some stranger technical pieces like Midnight, Day at the Beach, Souls of Distortion etc. They are both extraordinary players but as a guitar player myself, even I wouldn't like to say who's better.
It is about choosing an identity. Satch can surely play all that VAI does, but then he won't be Satriani that we know. Vai has carved his own identity and that's why there is no logic in suggesting that Vai is better than Satch. To have your own identity is the best possible achievement any musician would love to own.
+Justin Gulbransen older satriani was better, same with Yngwie and Steve vai, i mean they skillfully got better, but the songs were just more enjoyable in their early emerging years. More hooky, they grabbed you better.
+Justin Gulbransen tbh, I think the love for instrumental rock wained and, like with all these niche markets, they have a life... there's only some much noodling someone can undertake before it gets a tad dull...
+Billy Chutkins one of my favorite albums, and that song is just nuts! I mean, back in the day tapping meant Eddie Van Halen type of stuff, but this song shows that tapping can have a lot of other uses even if you play some kind of blues, it’s brilliant really :) The rest of the album is filled with awesome tunes
Legend has it Steve never revealed how or why he cut his teeth. Could’ve been stripping electrical wire or it could’ve been grape nuts. The clip wasn’t cutoff the story just ended there and there was no need to include the awkward silence.
Pressure to play perfectly? Slash himself said that he would mess up all the time when playing with GNR, and personally speaking, I could play something a million times and still make a mistake.
Slash was pretty messed up for a majority of the bands lifetime, the whole band was. I'm sure even Joe would make some mistakes if he had a hangover or smack addiction.
Joe is like the one punch man of guitar. he practiced so much that his hair fell out and he became OP at guitar
+Jeremy Schecter Ahaha your right bro haha xD but i will never forget what he did to harry potter xD He's a PRO xD SAITAMA!
I guess I'd rather lose my hair than have to sell my soul to the devil.

lol one pick man
xD
Satch thought he had gifted students when in fact they had an extraorfinarily gifted teacher.
Exactly
Satch gave up his hair so his students would suceed 😢
imagine kirk without satch as a teacher. he wouldn't even get the intro to nething else matter right
axlrosea675 why would anyone imagine that ?
would show you how satch shaped the world of rock
Satriani is great. I still own my "Surfing with the Alien" cassette tape that I listened to when lifting weights in High School back in the 80s.
+JarnBjorn72 That album was so far ahead of everyone at the time and still unmatched !!!
redhead5150 Amen, Redhead!! ;-)
I cut school to see him play at a small club in chicago....studs hamm on bass...Jeff campinelli on the drums. Joe barely said anything...
dude i love ice 9
You sir were ahead of your time, hope your alive and well
3:00 five bucks for a lesson with JS... I wonder if he still offers that deal lol
Hi..now he charges around $380
per lesson..
In all truth that still isn't too bad.
I would pay 3800 for a lesson from him
@@nishantsrivastava7876he still teaches?
I still listen to Flying in a Blue Dream. I am still amazed by that whole album.
yep - The Forgotten (Part 1 & 2) , is freakin killer
***** Agree... I never tire.
TheMeJustMe75 same here. It is still as magical as it was when I first heard it almost 24 years ago.
I remember when it 1st came out. Every Guitar player, and their Brother was trying, I repeat trying to play his stuff.
One of his coolest composition
I gave my Dad this VHS for Christmas one year. My Dad became the biggest Satch fan out there.
I took lessons from one of Joe's students, and it's like musical boot camp.
You come prepared and play perfectly. On my first lesson, the guy before me came out crying.
It was intense.

Alex S?
What do you think happened for that guy to come out crying?

Ler from Primus too.
💯👋
When did Steve Vai dress up as Yngwie for Halloween?
lol
+Nathan Machack That's funny
he used to work for Frank Zappa...nuff said
inspired by Ozzy, perhaps?
On Halloween silly . . .
He's one of the greatest teachers out there. Even if u dont like him never miss out on his teaching.
Pissed alot of People off telling them Sach taught Steve Via. He seems proud to have Joe for a Teacher.

Using the Mafia as motivation? Interesting approach.

Shhh...There is no Mafia.
they were all in new york after all
So the most important thing to remember when learning to play music is.....####*U*()UIOPDJKLD...end of clip. Thanks
+me still me FUCKING RIGHT (y)
+me still me Exactly !!!!!!!! hahaha
Still my favorite guitar instrumentalist to this day! Been listening to him ever since Surfing with the alien.
First time I heard Satch Boogie I was so sold.
Damn, if I could take lessons from Joe for 5 dollars, I'd be soooooooooo happy.
Thank you for sharing this !!!.
The Satch is a legend who s leaving a trail of his legacy! From master to student becomes master to student becomes master to student becomes…….
When I was a child
I saw that Satch tapes video over and over.. :)
Larry Lalonde was a Satriani student? Primus really is a powerhouse band.
I watched this video 100's of times in high school during the 90's.

Notice how when he's talking about his best students he doesn't mention Kirk hammet
Kirk had an affair with Joe's sister and it didn't end well for anybody.
Steven Gregory Joe's brother u mean
Could be, didn't get a good look.

Because Kirk isn't one.

figure of speech, he learnt guitar from Joes teachings and that's why they sound similar at times.

Pressure to play perfectly? Slash himself said that he would mess up all the time when playing with GNR, and personally speaking, I could play something a million times and still make a mistake.
Right? a teacher who forces you to play to perfection under extreme pressure....cant be a healthy way to learn

Messing up all the time isn't something to strive for, even if Slash says he does it.
