If mr.Satriani is very proud to have taught Vai and Kirk can you imagine how proud should be the Satriani's teacher!
Who is Satrianis teacher btw?
its joe biden.
@@benbenidonubaltubal2757 lmfao
@@benbenidonubaltubal2757 Yeah man he shreds his ass off
@@benbenidonubaltubal2757 joe biden has forgotten more than you will ever know. in fact, he's forgotten everything.
90% of the comments are defending Kirk Hammett but I have seen zero comments dissing him
But on every other video lol
@@idontreadreplies.252 :)
He's a bum!
You suck! Jackass!
I feel like I see this ALL the time on RUclips comment sections.
"You people need to leave _______ alone!!". And I'm like "what people? where?!".
See ABOVE COMMENT!!!
He taught em both how to wah. Both amazing players.
He taught em both how to not age too.
Do what you love everyday. Age ain't nuthin but a number...unless of course...well, you know
how did he do that?
Not age? Kirk Hammett looks like he’s 65 but he’s only 55. And I say this as a Metallica fan.
@Shallex tell me more dude
And most likely appergios too. And some of his signature licks. You can easily hear satriani in both of em. Anything but shredding. Shredding doesn't need teaching. If you practice too much your shredding ability will automatically be unlocked.
There are far more jokes about Kirk jokes than actual Kirk jokes
@D Ceased hey slow down now, the world needs a healthy NPC populous
I'd just like to appreciate that this is the 5th joke about jokes about Kirk jokes that I've seen so far
And there's more comments like this than jokes about kirk jokes.
The Satriani Vai story is one of my favorite rock n roll stories. It’s incredible! It’s like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig growing up in the same neighborhood and playing sandlot baseball.
Don’t care what people say, I wouldn’t be playing guitar if it weren’t for Metallica and Iron Maiden
Mishkat Rahman same here, well them, black sabbath and AC/DC
i started playing because i wanted to serenade girls lol.
I really dislike Metallica, but I appreciate that a lot of my favorite bands wouldn't be around with out their influence
Judas Priest and Black Sabbath for me, and maybe SOME Iron Maiden, but mostly Priest.
Jacob W no hate in this, but I’m generally curious, why do you really dislike Metallica?
As someone who teaches guitar, I'm actually quite proud of the students that surpass me in any way. It might be chops, style, melody writing, chord progressions, or simply being in really cool sounding bands.
Sir, u must be a good teacher
U have my respect
Sorry for my bad english
@@andrewgraham8331 lol, I'm okay. I just try my best, and use my psychology skills! what is your original language?
@@albertplaysguitar iam indonesian
Same sir
One would think that should be the goal of any teacher. Take the instrument to new heights!
Joe Satriani, the legend that helps people become legends
I love how humble this phenomenal musician is.
Most are very humble, except Malmsteen, he's a dick.
Cotton Hill Maybe so, but love him or hate him, I don’t see how anyone can deny that he has the chops to back up his arrogance.
Gary Moore is someone who injects emotion in his hot solos, he gets into it so much he is in a trance, now that I respect
holy shit. when he said that little kid was Steve Vai i was very surprised
Back when he was shorter than him
2:00 A legend was born.
Comment section: Kirk sucks!
Kirk: Laughs all the way to the bank.
Lmao I was gonna say. He's in the most famous metal band of all time. I don't think he cares what a bunch of jackasses on RUclips think...
@FiniteAutomaton It's better than being the best guitarist nobody ever heard of.
Yeah a shitty guitarist who co-wrote one of the most influential Metal albums ever.@FiniteAutomaton
@FiniteAutomaton are you deaf?
@@bdwitt66 just like jason becker. He is kinda famous but nit famous enough for his talent
Such a legend. Think of all the hours this guy has played guitar. I love how his style always emphasises the mixolydian mode so well. Such a brilliant musician.
Satch is real.
One may like him or hate him, but can't help but respect him.
Aden Pur If someone hates Satch they’re probably only worth a wet fart on the nose and a punch in the teeth. Joe is a beaut. Enough said.
i don't think i've ever heard anyone say they dislike him, let alone hate him.
guitar battles live Me neither. I’m pretty sure if the person exists they’re an asshole though. Just putting that out there. Lol
I saw him live with Dream Theater and King's X in 2004 here in Phoenix. He was phenomenal as well as the other two bands.
Kirk is awesome , his lead playing on and justice for all is fantastic
Kirk Hammett inspired me to play guitar, along with Satriani and Dimebag. Rag on Kirk all you like, but i like him.
Joe remains one of the most humble, kind and nice guitar player around. Plus he's a great storyteller and you listen to him with a smile on your face; it seems easy to picture what he's telling.
All three are incredible guitar players. Why is it always 'he's better than he is'--just appreciate them for who they are. I've heard Joe tell this story before and I think it's a great story and they have all earned their place in music.
Joe is a class act and a national treasure.
"Kirk bad guitar uehg" very original and entertaining comment section 🤘
People who criticize Kirk would probably struggle to improvise a full solo on the spot.
Guitar players seem to enjoy trash talking famous, fairly accomplished players more than practicing.
@@Sphereal damn right man
Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Garage Days Re-Revisited etc. Were all great albums where Kirks guitar playing really shines. But I think this crowd is too young to remember those albums.
@@MichaelKerr71 garage days revisited is a golden album imo but nobody knows it
@@MichaelKerr71 He even had great solos on Load, so what the fuck are they talking about he "fell off"? I barely remember the guitarwork on Reload.
Many musicians criticize Joe for not being a musician that plays from the heart. His songs are real as if you can hear a singer putting vocals down to his songs and yes he doesn't hold back what he's capable of. If you ask me, it takes all kinds of people to make up a world and someone had to go this kind of distance to be k own as the man who taught and mentored the greatest players, making him in my mind the greatest and most determined of them all. Sits at the top as "the teacher"
Stevie Vai has been one of my favs for quite a while. But, then again, so has Joe!! Two of my top 5, right there!
I just love how all of these guys are so humble and openly show such admiration for each other an other great musicians and teachers. Amazing. All of them.
I like Joe, Kirk & Steve. All 3 are VERY talented musicians & inspire & make life enjoyable.
I was In the front row for this. It was a great event!
One of the best guitarist not only his playing. But he also taught and produced world class awesome guitarist
Was very lucky to see the sach with Stewart Hamm no singing just guitar bass and drums. What a show I will never forget. I have also had the pleasure of seeing vai
Live amazing both of them and let's not forget the bass players. 🎸🇨🇦🍁👍
Steve Vai
Alex Skolnick
Larry Lalonde
Kirk Hammett
I'd say Satch did ok for himself as a teacher.
Interesting however I enjoy and prefer listening to Joe Satriani over all listed.
TrackTor I'm a huge Satchmo fan. The only guitarist there, that I can listen to all day/everyday, is Alex Skolnick. I love his tone with Testament, and his jazz stuff. 🤘🏼
@@tracktor4851 I definitely agree with that,Joe satriani in my opinion is such an underrated guitarist
@@sleepbetraysme Satchmo was Louis Armstrong's nickname. Satriani is just Satch.
Digby in the Doghouse thanks for being tedious, however, there are tons of fans that refer to Joe as 'Satchmo'. Look it up. ruclips.net/video/zTXKGr8ZF1k/видео.html
Man if only we could get Joe, Steve and kirk to tour together
Steve and Joe are virtuoso guitarists Kirk is lead player with kick ass solos to songs at best I'm pretty sure
We've already had Joe, Steve, and John Petrucci...
@@GuitarGuy057 But Satriani didn’t give JP lessons.
@@RichardGarcia93
Kirk is not the greatest example of Satriani's teaching. He'd just bring it down
@@GuitarGuy057 Yeah, I was just saying that OP wishes that the teacher and the students could play together on stage someday.
Satriani is the man. He always puts up great shows. His music is excellent 🤘
Joe Satriani it's a really Master piece him self!! A very nice guy and amazing guitar hero!!...he always do the most cool interviews...love You Joe!!
ahhh kirk is the guitar player that influenced millions of kids to pick up the guitar and learn how to play ,the most out of all of them,he ain't the best but his solo's had a bigger impact then all of them combined ,ppl here don't even know wtf they are talking about ,it's like singing ,there is no point in having the best voice if you don't know how to use it ,it's how you use it also .
Kirk is his generation's Ace Frehley. . .
@Nick Costa reb who? is he metallica"s janitor ?, if he picks up metallica's poop maybe that way people will know him .
You don't know who the fuck reb beach is?? Dude educate yourself a bit, i understand your bias towards kirk & metallica. Whatsoever, you sound like a complete douche with what you said, search reb beach and don't bother replying.
@@valf208 LOL...!!!! Total frog in a well syndrome.....The only reason Kirk is famous is because he was on the band wagon of metallica's success translating to a lot of money and the reason he was allowed on that band wagon is because he had just enough 'Talent' not to over shadow the other two like Mustaine did...that does not define talent, there are much better and talented people out there playing on the streets with zilch in their pockets......you want impact? ever heard of Eddie Van Halen or Hendrix Maybe? that's what you call impact....Metallica would be lucky if Reb Beach agreed to play for them......LMAO !!
@@ssdravidian lol mustain plays sloppy ,eddie van halen is overrated and hendrix was the greatest like 45 yrs ago wtf you can ask any guitar teacher and guitar critic who is the guitar players that influenced the most people to play and james and kirk come first ,that's a fact ,no one gives a fuck about playing whitesnake tabs or winger ,lol dude are you freaking serious ,who the fuck even cares ? reb beach is probably working at mcdonald's as we speak
I can already tell there is going to be a lot of kirk hate in the comments
Some how he sucks but co-wrote one of the most influential Metal albums ever? I think that would be the defense. The guys music is far above average.@Steve Seeton
Steve Seeton Negative buddy, I can list all the riffs Kirk contributed on Ride and Master and it’s extensive. Not to mention a driving force. For example the second riff of Master of Puppets or the bridge in Creeping Death so you are flat out wrong about that. If you want to know I can list everyone for you and every riff, harmony that Cliff contributed as well.
@Steve Seeton using modes and scales to create classic Thrash solos for more than a 10 year run isn't "sucking" but alright. Name another lead guitarist in the Big Four who actually could construct his kind of melodies and harmonies that well. Dan Spitz is considered a joke, the Slayer guys suck balls and can't even make dissonance go in tune WITH a noise gate or tuner, Mustaine is just a chromatic version of Kirk's worst days, basically you have Poland from Megadeth's' first 3 albums.
@Steve Seeton read my comment below and fuck off, James can't even solo for shit and for the record Kirk was more musically trained than Cliff was in theory and that shows in all of their first 5 albums. Hell on "Load" he even made the Major scale work in a way that fit their band.
Boy you guessed it. Woo! you was right.
Kirk, Kirk, Kiirk. You got some skills and shit....but you ain't no Dave Mustaine, BITCH!
What could be more happier moment for teacher seeing his kid having a wonderful career.💙🤘
I knew back in the day Joe was involved in The Eyes of Horror. Possessed was one of my favorite bands. Always baffled me though. Over 30 years later this sheds alot of light on it. Cool
"I was a failed drummer"
very relatable
Kirk is one of the best all time. His style fits perfectly in Metallica. Blusy, melodic, sentimental, aggressive... All this creates is unique style. Love his solos, way differents than the other bands. Wha wah Master? I don't care, Kirk is awesome guitarist and person.
@Pone Vongsouvan _ I _
Kirk Hammett and joe satriani are two of the biggest influences on my musical life and even my life in general. True legends. Neither of them are “the best” in skill, but they are a couple of the best song/solo writers of all time, not to mention most influential
Such a great teacher, drummer, guitar player and also a good a actor!
Seems like a nice guy and I like his boots.
Many will hate Joe but you can't deny he is a perfect guitarist. Perfection at its finest. Cant imagine why being perfect should gather hate.
Nobody said they hate Joe. What are you taking about?
It seems like these super gifted guys, joe Bonamassa, Steve vai, and mr satriani are low on ego and just passionate about improving. They all do great interviews. I think all three are long island guys
thank you
While Kirk isn't the best guitarist in the world, he'd be a welcomed addition to any band.
Kirk was taught by absolute guitar genius let's leave it at that
Back when cassettes were still around I used to trade my deck out with flying in a blue dream and Texas flood and back in black. Them and Hendrix completely explains my approach to the guitar as a player born in the mid seventies
I lived in Berkeley, CA. when Joe was teaching there at a small music store on the corner of Rose St. and MLK. I had a lot of friends who were taking guitar and bass lessons from Joe at that music store in the early 1980's. Pretty much all of the best rock musicians in Berkeley at that time were studying with Joe.
Friendly reminder that Kirk Hammett wrote the solo for Ride The Lightning and The Shortest Straw.
Friendly reminder that Kirk didn't write the solo for Ride the Lightning... it was Mustaine, check it out
Triginta Tres lol no it wasn’t
@@garywilliams1858 yes it was..and also there are a couple of recordings where he plays it with them..
Triginta Tres it wasn’t mate, it’s not Mustaines playing style at all. He only wrote the spider riff and the verse riff
Read Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir it’s in there, he mentions ride the lightning and what parts he wrote and he definitely didn’t write the solo, also, the recording you speak of are the ride the lightning demos, if you listen closely it’s not all power chords being played on both strings like Dave does it when he plays the spider riff, it’s just Kirk and James playing power chords sliding up the A string and single notes inbetween on the E
Kirk is absolutely amazing!! I just really wish he wasn’t restricted and held down by Lars and James...it would be awesome if he did a side band/solo project...it would be epic!
Your wish is finally coming true😀his solo project is releasing on April 23 2022
Every pro guitarist has a solo album except kirk Hammet !!
his solo album is really well composed. surprised after lux and screeaming suicide came out and it's back to pentatonic wah
Everyone loves Joe. The coolest guy in the world!
satch is an awesome song writer...
those magnificent themes etch themselves
into your brain...
kirk very humble...we are not a machine to playing perfect..
Sir Joe is such an amazing guitarist. And Steve Vai. And Kirk
I used to be heavy into Satriani and Vai. Still love um.
It is always interesting to hear about Kirk Hammett.
Eddie Van Halen started on drums too... I sense a trend here!
Shit I started with guitar, and not really leaning towards greatness, does that mean I should be a drummer? xD
I wanted to play drum but It was too expensive so they bought me a 50 dollars peavey lol
Slash started as a bassist
Shit this isn't very comforting /cry.
I really want to play guitar, not turn myself to the dark side ahahaha.
For those about to bash on Kirk, what great things have you accomplished in life?
They never accomplished anything like his guitar playing on Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Garage Days Re-Revisited etc.
Pretty sure 99.999% of the haters don't have $200M in the bank. Much less played anywhere bigger than their local bar.
Kirk is good, but I don't think he has the natural musical ability to absorb what Steve is capable of teaching him
Not being Kirk Hammett.
So you're saying that someone is immune from jokes and criticism unless the person is successful? Grow up
I 1st herd of Sach, then bought Surfing With The Alien in 1989, when I was at Fort Gordon GA, for US Army I.E.T. (Initial Entry Training, which is our occupational training, right after Basic Training)
I put the cassette in, pressed play, & my gaw'damn jaw dropped. Been a Sach fan ever since!
Lar from Primus, Alex Skolnik of testament, David Bryson of Counting Crows, Charlie Hunter (amazing jazz guy) and Kevin Cadogan of Third Eye Blind were also Satch's students.
Joe Satriani: And that was the time when I learned what a good student will be like, and what the kid that looks at the window the whole lesson will be like.
Kirk has attitude and stamina, thats what you need in Metallica. No one can keep up a thousand shows like Kirk, even hes sick he still play like in 1998, garage inc tour. He has a dedication and patience to succes.
I love Kirk Hammett.. He takes those songs to a new place with his guitar \\m//
Good job with Steve.
*insert Kirk Hammett joke*
its the notes that are fuckin between
It's obvious he was chosen by Metallica because of his guitar abilities and not because he's half ethnically "politically correct".
St. Anger
I think he's a great guitarist and created some of the best solo's for the band that people can remember even hum during concert.....people are always shitting on him just to join the bandwagon of shit people.
@@mdub2000 boi jumping on the bandwagon is liking one of the most successful bands of all time because everyone else does, like metallica.
Insert “Let me fit in the with the cool kids and make fun of Kirk Hammett” Comment
Wha??
they don't have an opinion, so they repeat what the tr0s comment about some bands in every vid, it's best to ignore them, they're prob angry bad guitar players
lmao yeah and his own kids are among them
D Ceased hahaha no dude I’m afraid you’re wrong. There were loads of Kirk hate comments when I posted that. Also, you must be new to RUclips if you think there’s really no Kirk-hate comments out there.
@D Ceased any metallica video you can see some idiots saying shit about kirk, but yeah, the best thing is to show support to kirk and forget these people
Listening to some of his solos .great talent
Guitar is ever evolving. I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Kirk Hammett played guitar at THAT point at a higher level than most! HE and his bandmates were CREATING A NEW GENRE! Do you understand how important Kirks ideas musically were?! Kirk was inventing not copying anyone! I forget though we live in a time where if you want to learn a song you just click on RUclips and learn it, not EARN IT by long hours of practice and no EASY and CONVIENIENT methods like RUclips to skip through the theory and all essentials! I was learning in the 80's (and still am) and knew only a few guitarists because things were NOT easily accessible in regards to instruction because noone (parents) didn't have $ for a kid to TRY to learn and because of the lack of EASE and DRIVE put it down a day to a week later to NEVER pick it up again because "it's too hard" and "I don't have anyone to show me"! We live in a time where EVERYONE wants the EASY way and clicks on a Steve Via lesson and learns something of brilliance without knowing the foundation and understanding the value of why he is doing what he is doing! It all comes EASY these days so it is easy to understand why you think you are the cosumate professional and critics! Kirk, THANK YOU for taking the HARD ROAD! Leave Kirk alone critics, because he didn' have the QUICK and EASY way like RUclips rd nowadays! METTALLICA RULES!!!!!!!
Has anyone ever thought that maybe Kirk is actually still damn good but just fed up being in Metallica? It seems like he's been bored for YEARS now and they almost never let him get any significant solos or anything in their new music. If I was him I'd feel the same way.
I mean behind the scenes of i think of hardwired to self destruct it looked like lars was telling kirk how to do his solos like he's the lead guitarist not you he needs to do what he thinks is great for the song you know
You know what Id love to see him go solo he'd probably be able to showcase more talent and maybe even some vocals. I don't know just a thought. He'd probably be extra good given more creative space away from Metallica. And I wouldn't doubt Lars controls him either.
@@JakeClark-xw4xz If you really want to talk about someone getting really fucking bad than look no further than Lars. That guy has turned into absolute shit.
@@Blannibal311 I agree truly
That actually is kind of what has happend, Listen Kirk Playing with another artist in gigs and videos, the man still has it!. However after the Black Album Kirk took a way different approach for his solos in Load and Reload been in those albums very experimental solos, then when he wanted to make it back in St Anger they told him NO, he showed he kind of had it in DM and he totally fucked up in the production of Hardwired pretty much not doing his homework and imrpovising most of the solos on the album.
Super nice guy Joe Satriani.
Its cool that Steve Vai the student, have now become the master 👌
I used to think highly of Kirk when I was a teen (what did I know?...), I don't anymore but I won't deny some of his works are classics, frayed ends of sanity solo being my favourite.
Kirk drew from Cliff's creativity. Who know's what heights Kirk would have obtained if his brother in music was alive today. CLIFF EM ALL 🤘
U know ur a badass when ur teaching Steve Vai
Man he is awesome.
that last sentence by Joe , emotional
Nobody in the comment section can outplay Kirk on the guitar.
Period
Lol come on man. There are a ton of local musicians who I know who can run circles around Kirk.
The point is this, Kirk wrote some great music and melodies. He just only uses a few techniques.
Drowns out his mistakes with Wah, only uses pull offs for solos now, strictly pentatonics his whole career ect. It doesn't make him bad it makes him limited in his creativity.
no they just cry like most of the "new wave of crap with no feeling"
Hold my beer
I taught myself how to shred, and after a year i can shred, this was 14 years ago.
Bj sistersbystevevaughn
After a year you’re not shredding very well,and a pat on the back is only a little higher than a kick in the ass
Yeah and……what does that mean?? I think your in the wrong conversation 😂
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai my idola 👍👍🎸🎸
Cool stories!
Well to all the Kirk Hammett haters out there.. You are clueless. Music is about feeling and that’s what he conveys. He may not be the most technically proficient but a lot of other guitarists leave me cold. YOU GOT TO FEEL IT!!!
*pentatonic blues scale*
Nick Costa why bother to reply with that. You're right/has no feeling..contradiction Nick!
Brad Putnam . Aye!
No, YOU are clueless. If music is about feeling, then Kirk's solos make me feel like taking a shit. Almost all professional guitarists use a wah to embellish their solos. Kirk lets the wah BECOME the solo. That's why he's considered a shit guitarist.
Anthony Clure wah wah wah blahblah blah. I've been listening to Metallica since 1983 & he isn't a shit guitarist. If that's your opinion fair enough but Metallica are a great band & Kirk is a part of that greatness. Wah or no wah!
0:01 Hi i'm Robert Downey Jr
Darkened Soul /\ you’re my papa
Cool, the master.
He's the PhD of guitar. So intimidating with all that knowledge.
Kirk is great, people compare him to other players which is kind of stupid. Unique playing is what guitar is all about
exactly . kirk is generic
0:01 Seth Rogen ?
I've actually gotten that a lot haha. Even addressed it in this video. Skip to about the five minute 30 second mark: ruclips.net/video/T3RKNk9Zj3o/видео.html
He really is awesome. I didn’t appreciate him enough when I was a kid. I thought that liking Jimmy Page and David Gilmore meant I couldn’t like Joe Satriani am Steve Vai. Now I realize how much o was missing out.
God bless you guys. Mad Respect Joe. God bless you. Why is this new News. This way old. God bless you
When I was young shredder's was everything now it bores me . I can listen to 50's rock n roll now and be more amazed .
Tone is my thing now... No more Petrucci guitar... Strat all the way.

Hell yea he did
And Alex Skolnick, Rick Hunolt and many others

Alternate title : Joe Satriani: I Taught Kirk Hammett + Steve Vai How to Play Wah Pedal
Steve's The Audience Is Listening, the wah steals the show, maybe the best use of a wah pedal ever.
just here laughing with all the "pro guitarists" bashing Kirk...hmmm how many of you are part of one of the greatest metal bands ever?how may of you play like 200 lives a year touring the world?
how many of you play consistent music for more than 20 years? how many of you have written songs with millions of views??have you been a member of an internation band? you think a "bad" guitarist can accomplish all that? grow up and plzz learn the word respect ... you are all too young
Well he's not a solo act. He doesn't write everything. The songs could be so good that an average or lame solo neither ruins not elevates it. He does have a great gig no doubt, and is a cool dude on top of it (personality wise).
He also taught Charlie Hunter, Larry LaLonde from Primus, Alex Skolnick from Testament and a lot more.
Everybody has known this for many years. Give it up already Joe !!!
it doesnt matter how good or bad the players are as long as the song is good i dont care a SHIT
Amen to that. I'm glad I'm such a pleb, blessed with ignorance and tone deafness. So I can enjoy any song in its entirety instead of noticing details here and there. My life is fun.
Kirk was already a lead guitarist when he took lessons from Joe....
Correct. Vai on the other hand knew nothing - both achieved great success!
@@stopthehate1749 Crazy how his student even gets famous....
That is when you know the Man is for real...
@@sunnyray7819 oh yeah. Alex Skolnick (Testament), Larry Lalonde (Primus), and a bunch of others too...
