07:17 He´s not tapping the A# - it´s the B as you can clearly see where you pause the video ;) and you had to hear that the A# sounds sooo wrong ;D (power of video - use the video)
yeahhhhhhhh... I get things wrong quite a bit. But this was just silly - I went back and you can CLEARLY see the B lol. In case you were unsure, these are real and these are live with no edits. You get what you get :)
@@Guitargate Well, you attempted it like a man. Well done. You don’t run and you don’t edit out the mistakes which are so instructive to us. Good teaching!
That's Jeff Campitelli On the drums we grew up together in SF/ Berkeley area as close friends.Thank You for the kind words and recognition Joe and Jeff often overlooked for greatness !
One of my absolute favourite drummers. I've stolen so many of his tricks from his Satch days. I blatantly stole his 14:27 fill and put it right into one of the songs on our latest album.
To this day I remember that, when I was 5, I always wanted my Dad to put on Surfing with the Alien on full volume, so I could put my sunglasses on and rock out to it in the living room. I am a fan ever since.
Joe i my favorite solo guitarist of ALL time. The melodies and the hooks are the best I've heard. I can tell it's Satriani playing instantly, and his playing never fails to put me in a good mood. Love, Love, Love that guy.
The 1st time I heard this song, when I was around 14, I wanted to learn this song note for note. I also said I want to play guitar for the rest of my life because of this song. I got to meet him in ATL and win one of his signature pedals. He signed it and got to get a pic with him. I owe everything that learning the guitar has given me. All the awesome friends and musicians. Thanks, Satch!!
I think this version got Joe nominated for one of his 16 Grammy nominations, with no wins. He is the reason why I picked up the guitar 25 years ago, and he continues to inspire me to play!
Joe is one of my all time fav guitarists and I know about him all thanks to my dad. My dad introduced me to his music before he passed from cancer 7 years ago. My dad had played guitar for 55 years and I didn't start until I found out he was sick. On my 30th birthday I went out and bought my first guitar and didn't look back. I am 37 years old now and still play. This piece is one of the ones that I am working on. I am also fortunate to be in a position where I have been able to buy my fav guitarists guitar (a JS2450 MCP) and am looking forward to it. Thanks for all you do Michael, I appreciate you and the community you have built.
I've been playing guitar for 30 yrs and agree that out of all the great modern virtuosos, Satriani is the best. Unlike many others in his genre who play a lot of finger tapping and technical speed playing which looks impressive but lacks the quality and substance of Satrianis compositions. I saw Satriani in concert in 2000 and stood about 20 feet from him while he played this amazing song. It was like he was playing to the heavens. The only other band I've seen in concert who had the sound quality of Satch was Rush. I dont know if you've ever heard "Song of the Golden Dragon"l by Estas Tonne but you should check it out. One of the most amazing pieces of guitar work I've ever heard.
Not to diminish, in any way, Michael’s ability to analyze and/or break down the song but the value that he brings to this type of video is that he is also very entertaining as well as humorous, at times. In most cases it would drive me crazy how frequently he stops the video to share what we both just saw but I’m more receptive to his choice to start and stop so often because of his desire to immediately share what “he” just saw as well as break it down in only the way he can. I really enjoy his work and also his constant insistence that the listener focus on melody. There isn’t a more melodic Rock guitarist on the planet than ole Satch Boogie!!!
@@Guitargate Amen! Loved your breakdown of, and reaction to, Tommy Emmanuel’s version of “Classical Gas”. He’s otherworldly!!! Keep up the great work, young man.
I'm not a guitarist, but played drums for about 20 years, so the constant stoppage kind of makes me crazy, but I understand why he does it, so I grit my teeth and ride his coattail. Mike is very personable and entertaining, so it's not maddening as much as off-putting. I like how he breaks things down as he himself tries to figure out what's going on. Austin Burcham does this with drumming as well. It's quite educational. Mike's so cool I'm subscribed just because of his personality. LoL
@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 teachers slow things down and if they have a passion they are always in the process of learning What happens is that people want something to happen right away and miss the whole point of what being taught A good Tracy teaches in a way that even the very young understand as well as adult The best way I think to learn is become like child Everything is new to them As adults we think we know And in the process we have much difficulty learning new things You’ll be surprised how you can pick thing up by just relaxing and slowing down your mind how you can pick things up Im just learning this myself at 64 going on 3 🥸😃😎
March 11th, 1989 I watched my new bride walk down the aisle toward me to this song. This melody lives deep in my soul. Thanks Michael for sharing another great breakdown of a beautiful song.
Thanks Mom... For having me born when I was and thus being able to experience Joe and his incredible mastery of his music for over the last 35 plus years. I will never forget the amazing live concerts I've seen him at through the decades, I truly feel he has changed me towards the better. I can't thank you enough.
This and For The Love of God have the most beautiful backing track. I will just play these two on my guitar for hours, without even touching the lead and still be satisfied.
Listening to Satch play is like listening to my fathers old stories. Like listening to a conversation. I can put headphones on, play the Extremist album and get lost for awhile. Awesome!
I’ve loved this song sing I was a little kid. Not many can make the guitar sing like Joe can. A true master. Love your videos as always Michael! Gonna go pick up the Strat now.. lol
I feel like Joe has a way of keeping his soul in his playing. He has all the technical proficiency possible, but he never steps into emotionless recitation. In both his writing and his playing, he always expresses himself. It’s beautiful to watch.
I have watched that performance a dozen or more times... being a huge Satriani fan and a modest beginner to intermediate guitarist, I know I love that performance but its hard to explain why... it just hits me hard in the feels... hearing you break it down makes the track even more special because it gives me a baseline understanding of what's happening theory wise and gives me more appreciation to the brilliance that is Joe Satriani... Well done Mr Palmisano.
Man....you radiate so much positivity...i can see your beautiful inner child🙏🕊️All the best for your vids and keep on spreading the good Vibes....the world needs it👋🏼🇩🇪
great explanations of joes guitar playing. from a fellow alumni of git...i might add that you are doing it with grace and the love of guitar, thanks for the magic
Love your content. Love this song. I've worn out 2 cassette tapes of it now going down the road just trying to figure out little licks and stuff and I swear I hear something new every single time I listen to it and this was no exception. Thank you for the lessons you share (even if there are a few misinterpreted notes) I'll definitely have to check out your website. I've been playing for 20 years come July and have never been that great at reading sheet music or tablature (always listened to a song and figured it out) but watching you has helped me to learn certain chord names which is helping.
This has always been one of my absolute favorite Satch songs. I even managed to convince my wife to let me put it on our pre-ceremony tracklist during our wedding. Great video, as always, Michael!
Satriani has ALWAYS just blown me away!! Such a complete master.. live in San Francisco is an awesome album if your looking for a fantastic piece of wizardry!!
I've been listening to Satriani since he had hair. To me this was his best composition ever. But the original studio version was masterpiece from the tapping to the next verse. And I know the live versions display his real talent, in this case he delivered the gold at the studio
Michael has a superb and fun way to explain the storyline and technique, and his facial expression tells us how much he admires the mastery of the performance, nice job Michael you are very interesting to watch , and the info you give is important.
Satch is the man. I've always hated live recordings because some idiot will always want to get his (or her) 'noise' on them somewhere. But, Joe comes alive with an audience, some of his earlier stuff was very clinical, I was impressed - who wouldn't be - but not loving it. It was the live side of 'Time Machine' that hit me in the gut and I became hooked. What a player.
I wish I was 5-10 years older. His rep in the east bay I would have done anything to take lessons with him like Kirk Hammett, Larry LaLonde, Alex Skolnick, Charlie Hunter, and Steve Vai. Seemed every student he had went on to form a band that made it.
I agree...blue dream,yes,,,time machine ,again ,blew my mind,,,on how guitar playing is the most complex\simple,,,at the same-sex time.,,,,,DoooooooooD.............3
Satriani has always been my favorite shredder type guitarist. He builds beautiful melodies and then shreds around them, but does not overplay or shred just to show off, it always has purpose, and phrasing is great. Eric Johnson also plays this way, but I prefer Satriani.
Another great video!!! I learned to play this tune (original, not live) and it increased my overall ability to play guitar. It's my favorite Satriani tune. Thanks for doing a video on it. I did a cover it on my channel.
thanks for keeping it real. So great to watch a player that knows how to play and that provides an unvarnished take on what and how this is happening. Respect!
Michael Palmisano, what a satisfaction to see a good teacher recognizing the talent of a giant. Also, congratulations on recognizing the qualities and "imperfections" of Mr. Satriani. Your descriptions are touching, really motivating listeners to pay attention to important aspects of harmonic structure and performance. May your students know how to value a teacher who is passionate about good music. Congratulations for this great review. All the best, always!
Dannnng! One of many favorite sounding parts of this tune is the tap thing. That part just gets me! Enjoy seeing you explain these things. Have been exposed to basics and can relate to these things now even though I am close to retirement! Still get stoked!
great stuff. I went to a satch concert in NYC in the early 2000's. Craziest show, they had speakers from stage floor to ceiling about 30 ft high and i swear they were outputting ONLY guitar haha. He was SO loud i could barely hear the drums!
Now I keep playing this Song for 20+ Years now, and I alway end up practicing to different Tempos. It`s almost like playing two different Songs comparing the Album & the live Tempo. Thank you for a Great Video on one of the greatest Guitar-Pieces ever written.
Just seeing this video now, a few years late. The best part of watching Michael analyze this song is watching his facial expressions while satrianis video is playing.
I learned the studio version of this son probably about 10 years ago, and I had never put much though into the theory of this song, or why this version is so great. Thanks for giving me so much to think about man. I hope someday I’ll get to see you analyze Cliffs of Dover Live in Austin
Man you are so entertaining🤣🤣🤣🤣 The way your eye balls analyze the sound and the way you do that swaying rhythmic Marc Rebillet motion while feeling the direction of the sound.......😍🤣😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣You elevate the music to another level from examination and appreciation. Outstanding!!!!😝😝😝😝😝👀
Good stuff bro. Saw Joe a dozen times live. Always epic. Just missed him in Richmond with Vai. I wanted to bring my son so bad but couldn’t pull it off 😫😫😫
I’m a picky bastard. I have subscribed and unsubscribed over and over because I don’t care for all the music you have on your channel. I have to say one thing that keeps making me come back is you have one hell of an ear! You are fantastic in your interpretation of many songs and you are prob the best I have seen using your gifts that eludes many people with music. I appreciate everything you are able to do and I will just ignore what doesn’t suite my ear. I will be a life subscriber from now on. Thank you for everything you do! You do a fantastic job! Not everyone feels music the same and you have an ability most don’t have and I can appreciate it with all the music you have on this channel being my taste or not. Thank you and music forever!!!!!
Cool break down and reaction:-) Next should be his even more awesome performance from the same gig "made of tears", takes control to a whole other level :-)
I used to play this song repeated when I put new strings on my guitar as it is a perfect song to break them in because of all the bends and whammy bar tricks that are in it. It does actually modulate to B minor after the tapping phrase, then re-modulates back to B major for the final pass of the main melody. Then instead of ending it where it does on the record, he then jams on the Joe Cocker version of "With A Little Help From My Friends". So technically it's a whole different song.
This is one of those musical pieces that are complex enough to expose your ability to analyze. It is why I joined GuitarGate. Beautiful work by both Satriani and you.
I would love to see your analysis of "Rubinas blue sky happiness" Probably got the name wrong but its a super underrated song. The song he made for his wife
Holy shit ! I thought i was in the Matrix for a sec, i just commented on one of your recent video, the giveaway i think, to react to this track of his & you just doing it here but you did this before i made the comment. Crazy coincidence ahah Satriani is a master man! it's incredible when you can appreciate when musicians can be true master of their craft, it's a total other dimension from musicians who just "know" their stuff.
Novice guitar player and only very basic theory, but the main thing I love about your content is it brings me a much deeper appreciation of music. And what would you know? I actually learn stuff! Haha. Thanks.
The lick at 18:43 is probably the best lick/bend I have ever heard - and this is the best solo I have ever heard. Just found the tab - and doing some homework before learning this today :) thanks for the vid
Man you gotta listen to Jason becker! You'd really have a time with anything off the perpetual burn album. Or heck him and Marty Friedman from cacophony on the track "images" would be great as well. Keep it up! Love the channel 🤘

@@Guitargate Well, you attempted it like a man. Well done. You don’t run and you don’t edit out the mistakes which are so instructive to us. Good teaching!
@@Guitargate No Problem at all! I enjoy you and your videos, but Professor Satchafunkilus is my hero...so i had to ;)
@@garywhitt98 Thanks my friend!
My Dad showed me this song when I was 10 and I was playing guitar a week later. It hooked me!! What a melodic master.
It's amazing that he found the time to play in such a way AND develop Amazon into the global powerhouse it now is.
Not to mention defending Kyle Rittenhouse in court…
Joe was the reason I started playing guitar in high school. I'll never play anything like him, but he'll always be an inspiration to me.
Tappist. Don't sell yourself short! You are a flesh and blood human just like he is!!! Nothing is stopping you! Best wishes to you and yours!
That's Jeff Campitelli On the drums we grew up together in SF/ Berkeley area as close friends.Thank You for the kind words and recognition Joe and Jeff often overlooked for greatness !
Dude he crushed it!
Jeff is such an amazing drummer and he plays so well with Satch and Dave LaRue here.

i absolutely love the disecting. I would pay this guy 200 a lesson if he lived near me no problem.
The best extended version of this song EVER. I was lucky enough to see this version in concert once. Just incredible. Great breakdown as well.
This song was on repeat when I bought my first CD player in High School. So pumped you did this song!
This is one of my all-time favorite songs, from quite possibly anyone. Thank you so much for this video!

@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 teachers slow things down and if they have a passion they are always in the process of learning
What happens is that people want something to happen right away and miss the whole point of what being taught
A good Tracy teaches in a way that even the very young understand as well as adult
The best way I think to learn is become like child
Everything is new to them
As adults we think we know
And in the process we have much difficulty learning new things
You’ll be surprised how you can pick thing up by just relaxing and slowing down your mind how you can pick things up

What a wonderful wedding song. I hope the years have been good to you in between. I first heard this back in 1989, too.
This Satriani Live! version is the single best - I loved that you got so into it, Michael :)
Thanks Mom...

Try "Wishful Thinking" (petrucci)
My two favorites from the Satch and Vai as well…
Wow, I've never heard this version before. Joe's a sick pup. He's the freakin' professor but he's got such amazing feel and vibe.
Best guitar teacher on TH-cam. We all love and appreciate your work Michael!
Listening to Satch play is like listening to my fathers old stories. Like listening to a conversation. I can put headphones on, play the Extremist album and get lost for awhile. Awesome!
I enjoy all the stoppages as it shows how the teacher is discovering / thinking throughout. We can all watch the original video elsewhere if we want.
I like you don’t dwell on the riffs, but explain theory in a simple way. Thank you!
I’ve loved this song sing I was a little kid. Not many can make the guitar sing like Joe can. A true master. Love your videos as always Michael! Gonna go pick up the Strat now.. lol
What an awesome break ins of the Great Joe's performance. Happy new year to you.
I feel like Joe has a way of keeping his soul in his playing. He has all the technical proficiency possible, but he never steps into emotionless recitation. In both his writing and his playing, he always expresses himself. It’s beautiful to watch.
Completely agree. Guys with Joe’s level of ability often start to sound robotic (Steve Vai). Joe still has so much soul.
Ohh my god... what a beautiful explanation of one of my favorite pieces of music...
Thanks man ❤
Happy New Year to you all ✌

Love Joe Satriani!! Appreciate your reaction and breakdown. Would love to hear some Santana or Duane Allman down the road!
I've done some! THX!
The bassist blew me away when I watched that concert for the first time on DVD idk 10 years ago now
I HAVE BEEN WANTING A REVIEW OF THIS. ITS AMAZING
great stuff. I went to a satch concert in NYC in the early 2000's. Craziest show, they had speakers from stage floor to ceiling about 30 ft high and i swear they were outputting ONLY guitar haha. He was SO loud i could barely hear the drums!
Joe Satriani brought me to your channel and I am glad he did. Very well done sir
Now I keep playing this Song for 20+ Years now, and I alway end up practicing to different Tempos. It`s almost like playing two different Songs comparing the Album & the live Tempo.

Its like going past my sons bedroom listening to him talk to himself about learning a satch song of youtube lol good job
Good stuff bro. Saw Joe a dozen times live. Always epic.
Just missed him in Richmond with Vai. I wanted to bring my son so bad but couldn’t pull it off 😫😫😫
It's a djembe hand drum... Thank you for the reaction, this song touches a longing in my heart.
Sooooo good !!!
So tasteful and melodic. When he went mixo I was hearing Joe Cocker's version of A Little Help From My Friends chord progression from the solo bit.

Amazing Satch song, great reaction ! thx dude 👌🙏, i recommend some of the old stuffs like, Cool#9, Driving at Night, Surfing with the Alien etc ..
Ok will do!
And Mystical Potato Head Grove Thing
Beautiful tune. I learnt it perfectly note for note when I was 15 about 32 years ago .
Cool break down and reaction:-) Next should be his even more awesome performance from the same gig "made of tears", takes control to a whole other level :-)
I used to play this song repeated when I put new strings on my guitar as it is a perfect song to break them in because of all the bends and whammy bar tricks that are in it. It does actually modulate to B minor after the tapping phrase, then re-modulates back to B major for the final pass of the main melody. Then instead of ending it where it does on the record, he then jams on the Joe Cocker version of "With A Little Help From My Friends". So technically it's a whole different song.
This is one of those musical pieces that are complex enough to expose your ability to analyze. It is why I joined GuitarGate. Beautiful work by both Satriani and you.
Thanks my friend!
Well done, Michael.
Grandmaster Satch! He’s right up there with Yoda! 🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love you mike 🤜🏻
I would love to see your analysis of "Rubinas blue sky happiness"
Probably got the name wrong but its a super underrated song. The song he made for his wife
Holy shit ! I thought i was in the Matrix for a sec, i just commented on one of your recent video, the giveaway i think, to react to this track of his & you just doing it here but you did this before i made the comment. Crazy coincidence ahah
Satriani is a master man! it's incredible when you can appreciate when musicians can be true master of their craft, it's a total other dimension from musicians who just "know" their stuff.
I love how you, as a guitar teacher, make the same faces when Joe goes all "Joe" as I do, a guitar potato :D
Thanks!
Novice guitar player and only very basic theory, but the main thing I love about your content is it brings me a much deeper appreciation of music. And what would you know? I actually learn stuff! Haha. Thanks.
The lick at 18:43 is probably the best lick/bend I have ever heard - and this is the best solo I have ever heard. Just found the tab - and doing some homework before learning this today :) thanks for the vid
Never heard that ver before.. he is the best at what he does.
Great playing and you were great in The Hangover.
My favorite live tracks are Rubina and Echo from the Time Machine album.
Man you gotta listen to Jason becker! You'd really have a time with anything off the perpetual burn album. Or heck him and Marty Friedman from cacophony on the track "images" would be great as well. Keep it up! Love the channel 🤘
Awesome tutorial!!!!!
