I honestly think Joe is the most rounded electric guitar player of all time. Blues, Rock, Effortless Shred, weird whammy bar trick, sweepicking, complex jazz chords, voice like melodies and a great tone. Not to mention he seems like a nice, humble guy.
Robert Noble Music I think Guthrie Govan is the apex predator with all around on the electric. There's that great video of Govan, Satch and Vai alternating on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" of all things. All three guys are unbelievably good, but Joe and Steve keep laughing and smiling at the stuff Govan was playing back at them, as if to say "too good".
Robert Noble Music Jimmy Page for me. Satch hasn't written enough killer riffs to make him the best. Page is unquestionably the master of riffs and riffs are really the holy grail of a lead guitarist. Page also knew how to write classics on the acoustic.
Joe will always sound like Joe. Whether he's using a PAF Pro, or if hes using his new Mo'joe Satchurator Omega Surfing Alien Crystal Tone Maker v3.7, he still sounds like Joe.
Satriani's tone, phrasing and note choice is immaculate. Been a fan (putting it mildly) since I was a kid at school and am still hooked on everything he does. Him and Steve Vai made me want DiMarzio pickups on my guitars and they're quite simply the best pickups in the world. Much love and respect.
Holy shit! You can sense his deep mastery of music just by listening to him talk about it...and then he plays a few licks and they're dripping with style.
top notch playing, top notch tone, and top notch in capturing that performance... Wow doesn't cut it... Cant wait for the new album and to try the new Satch Track neck pickup. The new way of video recording you have gone to... keep it, it sounds amazing.
Wendell Laffin Hi, Thanks for noticing, the video was recorded at EastWest Studio in LA. It's a famous room and was used for the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" recording (check out the new movie "Love and Mercy"). I've been trying to get DiMarzio's video and sound recording to be as good as I can make them. All the Best, Larry DiMarzio
@@LarryDiMarzio wow, the legend himself replied to my comment! What an honor sir! Thank you for everything you did to revolutionize electric guitars 🤘 I own JS signature guitars and the pickups sound amazing, hence. Joe sounds amazing as always. Thanks again 🙏
The next set for Mr. Satriani should be called the "Satch n' Sniff" pickup set. Best name ever...all yours Mr. Dimarzio and Mr. Satriani. :) Mister Dimarzio, I love you sir, and your wonderful pickups. In the mid 80's I discovered your company while looking for a humbucker to put in a Gibson V2 that I owned, but had these very weak V shaped pickups. I saw a store selling replacement pickups and I was shocked and thrilled. I saw the name "Super Distortion" and I HAD to have one. My Gibson V2 sprang to life! Thank you. I would later ruin that V2 trying to route it for a floyd...I know, I know... but I also had a Charvel and a Gibson SG and they did NOT have Dimarzios in them...so, they were next (I still have the Charvel -- played FOUR necks off of it. I did not know anyone who could replace frets in my area at the time so I just bought other similar Charvels and robbed the necks). I have owned and played EVERY humbucker that you make that is medium to high output. And most of the single coils. Every time I build, or mod a guitar they get Dimarzios. I have tried other pickups and they are NOT as good as Dimarzios. Duncans just sound like an average pickup overwound. I played most Duncans and meh...not for me. EMGs have zero head room and I cannot stand them. Played all of the other brands too, or bought guitars with other pickups in them. All were replace with Dimarzios. I have around 40 guitars now (you can tell which house is mine by the sound of my angry about that wife!) and they all have Dimarzios. My favorite combination is a Crunch Lab (X2N and Titans are runners-up and I own a LOT of those too) in the bridge and a Tone Zone in the neck. I have the Norton, PAF Pro, Breed and Super 3's in some of the neck positions, but I find that if I install a Tone Zone facing in the neck like it would be facing in the bridge, I achieve the best neck pickup sound ever. I play mostly neoclassical metal and nothing can touch those pickups on God's green earth. I just wanted to say thank you sir, even though you will never read this, for 35 years of great tone in my life. If Mr. Dimarzio was to have a line of autographed pickups, I would pay way more to have them. I am sure that a lot of guitarists would. You really should tell Mr. Dimarzio to autograph some stuff and put it up on the website for us Dimarzio junkies to buy. Have a great new year...cannot get worse unless space-alien dinosaurs molest us as the earth hurls into the sun. :)
2:21 This is a really true. I previously used treble bleed on the volume control, but the Satch track has sufficient brightness and I decided the treble bleed is not needed. Riding the volume control gives a great range of tone, exactly as demonstrated here. Thanks to Joe Satriani and Dimarzio for a such a versatile pickup.
A just bought both pickups a couple of weeks ago and they sound even better than the video!! Every combination of them give a very wide and colorful tone, making a it very rich to play, and enjoy your music! Thanks for putting this video up!
The Mo Joe is my fave pickup of all time and I put it in the bridge of 5-6 of my guitars. Sounds great in my alder Charvel pro mod and equally good in the bridge of my Jackson Soloist pro series. It even sounds great in the bridge of my double cut LP. I`m really diggin` the Satchur8 which has enhanced higher mid range...sings and sustains for days, and cuts through the mix like a champ. Similar but different than the Mo Joe. Also love the PAF Joe and have those in the neck of 6 guitars also...and will soon try PAF Joe in the bridge. The vowelly wah sounds are like having a built in effect pedal when touch and technique are just so...the vowels and the magic come out..the pickup literally speaks. Love Dimarzio products and Joe and I have been fans of both for 30 years!
Thanks Larry!!!thanks Joe satriani!!!! There's a dimarzio forum on fb yall get lots of love....peace & hair grease....p.s. can't wait for new album Joe!!!!
These pickups, along with the configuration in the JS2410 ad JS2450 probably have the greatest tone I have ever heard. So rich, powerful and tight, like a vintage strat on steroids and beyond.
So many weird negative comments here ! I never tried DiMarzio pickups but after listening to this I will for sure, this sound is insanely good, smooth , full, bold and tasty.
They're the best pickups on earth. I've owned many and still use them, including the PAF Pro and Fred. The Mo'Joe will likely be the next pickup I buy. I tried one in a Satch model Ibanez and it sounded terrific.
They make the best pickups. I’ve had many pickups from many different manufacturers and I always come back to Dimarzio. The PAF Joe and Fred are fucking incredible!
A non egotistical attitude explains his demeanor, and says why he's a phenomenal player and person. His way of explaining and teaching says why he'll be around for a very long time.
The DP425 reminds me of the tone that comes from the " Fred " Dimarzio in my strat neck position. It has that wet/fat neck tone to it. But Joe's Mo Joe sounds really thick. In some ways, especially as Joe plays closer to the bridge, that pickup brings out more of the pick sound, simliar to the way Frank Zappa's strat picking sound was.
One thing that brought out FZ's pick in his sound with his strat was that he started using a metal pick around that time. You can really hear it in the 84-88 recordings.
i still use an old dimarzio "super distortion" p/u from like 30 years ago. max it out and it just kills but back off the volume and it cleans up rather nicely without really getting much quieter. still works great for me 30 years later..
Still love my PAF pro's that satch used to use back in the day. They just get that Scream on the high bent notes when in the bridge spot that i like, almost like a strat.
Mo Joe is a cool pickup. It is very well balanced. It's like a Fred with more balls. However, it's not high output. It is very articulate. It's like a slightly hot PAF. You have to work a little harder to get the harmonics to pop than you would with a Duncan JB or EVH pickup.
sounds amazingI put a Satch Track in the neck of a Strat Ultra with a Chopper in the middle and a Pro Track in the bridge. In the N or B positions, it sounds full like a PAF. amazing pickups.
All new respect for Joe. While sitting and playing the guitar, he plays with the guitar sitting on his left knee. This makes sure that your left arm never crosses your torso, which allows easier access to to the lower portions of the neck. Not only that, but it also allows for easier vibrato and placing your thumb on the back of the neck well for bar chords. Hell, everything improves. Now, if we can only talk more people into playing this way.
The placement is important too..... A neck pick up closer to the fretboard gets warmer, and a Bridge pick up closer to the bridge gets treblier to me! Treblier LOL! .... The same is true if you pick closer to the neck or bridge with your picking hand .. Closer to fretboard is warmer, closer to bridge is brighter.
I JUST BOUGHT THIS GUITAR FROM SWEET WATER, IT IS INCREDIBLE, I BUILD GUITARS SO IT WAS WIERD SPENDING MONEY ON A GUITAR, I WAS LOOKING ON LINE FOR TEMPLATES FOR A JS AND SAW THE SWEET WATER ADD 48 MONTHS FINANCING NO INTEREST AND COULDN'T PASS IT UP, BEST GUITAR PURCHASE I'VE MADE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS I WOULD DEFINITELY ADVISE INVESTING IN THIS GUITSR IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS PLAYER WHO WANTS A GUITAR THAT DOES IT ALL.
КАКОЕ совершенное владение инструментом.... Гитара - это Любовь на всю жизнь!!! Я очень довольна, что открыла для себя Сатриани....Многие вещи часто звучат во мне....
I have an old Ibanez S540 with the IBZ USA F2 bridge pick up, and it kinda sounds like a Mo Joe but with less definition (but it's still awesome, good job on that one). I'd definitely go for a Mo' Joe on my new guitar
Love Joe! I have a Mo Jo in one of my guitars. It's ballsy but cleans up well. It's probably the most balanced pup I have ever used. It has really good separation, as well. It sounds good split too. Great pup - my new fav (my other fav. is the Breed. The tone chart looks wrong to me on the Dim. website for the Breed bridge pup, though). I may have to try the Satch Track too, but I really like the Area 58s for the single coil sound. Differences between the ST and the A58?
He just throws down riffs like they're nothing. How does he remember all of this. His own catalog is enormous with solo after solo for decades. There is no way I could remember all of this even if I wrote it all.
He's not going to a construction site every day, he plays his notes, every day, that is :). He admitted, some of his material is very hard to play, he tries to avoid them live.
The whats next album is good but I don't think he's going to top his Shockwave Supernova album, in my opinion it's his best work ever. It's like he's getting better with time.
Thanks Joe, I'm still playin my favorite pickup which is one the original first run Dimarzio 'FRED' pu's in the bridge position with a 1meg pot.and an HS-2 in the middle,HS-3 in the neck, no tone controls. Its round 30yrs old an sound fierce when I need fierce and 'nice' when I want nice. I have NEVER NOT been able to achieve any sound that I'm after. Thank you DiMarzio always!!!
Hi Larry, i've got a question. I'm digging Andy Timmon's neck tones. I know it's a cruiser, but unfortunately the Dimarzio seller available around my area only has the chopper currently. Can the chopper nail Andy's semi clean/break up tones? I'm using a 24 fret super strat style guitar. I'd imagine I'll have to lower it a bit and change the pots to mellow it out just a hair, or even splitting it. Do you think it'll bring the chopper to a cruisier ballpark? Thanks!
Tried out the Mo'Joe, sounded great for cleans and leads, but not so much for hard rock and metal. Going to be swapping it out with a Norton to see if that would be a good compromise.
I might have to ditch my charvel so cal. I played one of these satch Ibanez guitars and blew me away! So expressive and musical' and easy to play! Makes my Charvel seem like its dead.
Anti Law Could always try swapping out the pickups to the same Joe uses in his sigs first, a little less costly, and might bring your fiddle back to life.
Would it be ok to use the Satch Track as a bridge pickups with Cruiser (bridge) for middle and Neck positions? 5 way switch, 250k pots. Would this pickup that was designed to be a neck pickup work as a bridge pickup? Thanks.
Along with what the guitar already does, how does guitar hold up for metal riffage?. I am to decide between this and the Ibanez MM1 (Martin Miller Signature) guitar. Thanks
Hi Larry, I have various Dimarzio pickups, but I find with my amp which is quite hi-gain (Carvin Legacy 3) only really manages soaring leads with quite a high-output pickup like the Dimarzio Evo. How does Joe achieve such sustain and fat-tone, with lower output pickups, without pushing the gain on the amp to the point of unpleasantry and noise? Is my amp the limiting factor in that it was designed with the Evo in mind (or the Evo was designed with the legacy in mind? I guess it doesn't matter which way around), or is there a better way to utilise my settings?
+Craig Shutt Hi Craig, Joe is using his custom Marshall amp in the video. I used a Shure SM57 and found the sweet spot on the the 4X12 cabinet. Here's the link to Marshall. marshallamps.com/products/amplifiers/signature-series/jvm410hjs/ I know Joe has been through a number of different amps but usually come backs to that Marshall tone. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio
A COMPRESSOR WILL GIVE YOU THE FAT TONE AND SINGING ALMOST VIOLIN LIKE LEAD LINES, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW COMPRESSORS WORK WATCH A VIDEO BY A GUY NAMED PHILLIP MCKNIGHT, HE EXPLAINS WHAT THEY DO, JOE ALSO USES SUSTAINIAC PICKUPS IN SOME OF HIS GUITARS(DONT SEE ONE IN THIS GUITAR) COMBINED WITH HIS DIMARZIO PICKUPS AND THAT IS MADE FOR NOTED THAT SUSTAIN FOREVER
At one time I think Joe used a BOSS DS-1 Distortion pedal to push the preamp... maybe he still does for those soaring leads... correction: I think he has his own signature pedals now?
ACTUALLY I BELIEVE HE USES A POWER ATTENUATOR, I'M NOT SURE IF THE SATRIANI SIGNATURE MARSHALL HAS ONE BUILT IN THE 51503 COMBO DOES AND ITS A GOD SEND, YOU CAN PUSH THE TUBES AND TUNE IN YOUR TONE THEN TURN THE ATTENUATOR DOWN TO BEDROOM LEVEL AND YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR TONE ITS GREAT. YOU CAN ALSO PUSH YOUR AMB AND USE YOUR GUITAR'S VOLUME AS A SECOND MASTER THAT WORKS BUT NOT AS GOOD ITS BETTER FOR LOW WATTAGE AMPS LIKE A CLASS 5.
It's called a nice stack, and pedals galore. If you want to do it on the cheap purchase BIAS. It will do this and then some. Just make sure your computer is worth a shit and your guitar is a decent one.
satchfan2010 well noted though i think it was just a coincidence he is just using his legatto style and actually he is a octave higher than in the original track i think
How would the Satch track do in the middle position? I have a Mo'Joe and Air Norton in the bridge and neck, currently on the stock Ibanez S1 in the middle. Any recommendations for the middle? Strat tones would be nice!
Get the Ibanez AT300 middle pickup. I cant remember it's name but it is the best middle pup ive ever tried. Almost like an acoustic when combined with neck pup, and VERY good sounding on it's own too, which I find to be rare on middle pups.
How does he get the amp to sound like that in such a small Room without cranking up the Volume? Is he Using Other effects too?(there s defenitely some delay involvier)
I honestly think Joe is the most rounded electric guitar player of all time. Blues, Rock, Effortless Shred, weird whammy bar trick, sweepicking, complex jazz chords, voice like melodies and a great tone. Not to mention he seems like a nice, humble guy.
Robert Noble Music I agree with you on that one!

All three guys are unbelievably good, but Joe and Steve keep laughing and smiling at the stuff Govan was playing back at them, as if to say "too good".

Just go to 6:28 and listen to the glorious improv 🤘🔥
Btw the mic used in satch boogie in the end is a Royer R-121 Ribbon mic 🎤🤷🏻♂️
Wow. That's a lot of mic.
There's two mics on Joe's cabinet for this video, a Shure SM 57 and a Royer 121. When I mixed the audio it's mostly the SM 57. Hope that helps, Larry

I always love that outer space sound
I have always loved his ethereal sounds.
So many weird negative comments here ! I never tried DiMarzio pickups but after listening to this I will for sure, this sound is insanely good, smooth , full, bold and tasty.

Nobody can do that screaming harmonic whammy thing like Joe, and they shouldn't try because it's his signature ending.
i still use an old dimarzio "super distortion" p/u from like 30 years ago.
max it out and it just kills but back off the volume and it cleans up rather nicely
without really getting much quieter. still works great for me 30 years later..

All new respect for Joe. While sitting and playing the guitar, he plays with the guitar sitting on his left knee. This makes sure that your left arm never crosses your torso, which allows easier access to to the lower portions of the neck. Not only that, but it also allows for easier vibrato and placing your thumb on the back of the neck well for bar chords. Hell, everything improves.

Classical guitar style
The placement is important too.....
A neck pick up closer to the fretboard gets warmer, and a Bridge pick up closer to the bridge gets treblier to me!
Treblier LOL! .... The same is true if you pick closer to the neck or bridge with your picking hand .. Closer to fretboard is warmer, closer to bridge is brighter.
Great Master Satriani 🎼❤🎼

Well, I guess we know what Joe's echo setting sounds like now.
I Love that Orange JS model.I saw a used one at an Austin pawn shop awhile back for $1k,I shoulda bought it.😭.
Many thanks Jo
What a great communicator. I don't play but kind of get it.
I have an old Ibanez S540 with the IBZ USA F2 bridge pick up, and it kinda sounds like a Mo Joe but with less definition (but it's still awesome, good job on that one).
I'd definitely go for a Mo' Joe on my new guitar
Goodbye Supernova is an amazing piece
Love Joe!
I have a Mo Jo in one of my guitars. It's ballsy but cleans up well. It's probably the most balanced pup I have ever used. It has really good separation, as well. It sounds good split too. Great pup - my new fav (my other fav. is the Breed. The tone chart looks wrong to me on the Dim. website for the Breed bridge pup, though). I may have to try the Satch Track too, but I really like the Area 58s for the single coil sound. Differences between the ST and the A58?
I've been using the Satch Track for at least 4 years.
There is no neck pickup that even comes close.
I have a strat, would you recommend putting Satch Track in the neck? I wanna have Humbucker-like versatility
That's a cool jacket. I want one for when I play the axe and look cool like Joe!!
He just throws down riffs like they're nothing. How does he remember all of this. His own catalog is enormous with solo after solo for decades. There is no way I could remember all of this even if I wrote it all.

his bules playing is good love it
i have been listening to Joe for over a decade, wow wished i found him sooner, he never ceases to surprise me.
Oh boy, I bought the js2410, maaaan those mics are killers! Neck position and Mojoe, both really outstanding mics.
He tuned down.... sounds good!
I love what he plays at 6:28 the most XD
Sweet sounding pickups,just ordered a PAF Joe for my neck position,will have to pair it with Mo Joe at bridge
Great Sound!!!
love that guitar
The whats next album is good but I don't think he's going to top his Shockwave Supernova album, in my opinion it's his best work ever. It's like he's getting better with time.
Thanks Joe, I'm still playin my favorite pickup which is one the original first run Dimarzio 'FRED' pu's in the bridge position with a 1meg pot.and an HS-2 in the middle,HS-3 in the neck, no tone controls. Its round 30yrs old an sound fierce when I need fierce and 'nice' when I want nice. I have NEVER NOT been able to achieve any sound that I'm after. Thank you DiMarzio always!!!
Incrível toca muito D+ Grande Mestre Joe Satriani
Hi Larry, i've got a question. I'm digging Andy Timmon's neck tones. I know it's a cruiser, but unfortunately the Dimarzio seller available around my area only has the chopper currently. Can the chopper nail Andy's semi clean/break up tones? I'm using a 24 fret super strat style guitar. I'd imagine I'll have to lower it a bit and change the pots to mellow it out just a hair, or even splitting it. Do you think it'll bring the chopper to a cruisier ballpark? Thanks!
ear candy should be outlawed when using it to demo pickups and amps
Very cool. Thank you..
Tried out the Mo'Joe, sounded great for cleans and leads, but not so much for hard rock and metal. Going to be swapping it out with a Norton to see if that would be a good compromise.
Get yourself an Evo for Metal or Hard rock. The cleans are a bit too bright, but if you're into that it's fine
this would be really interesting if he would test it also using some cheap amp, or at least would be nice to hear it with no effects at all.
I might have to ditch my charvel so cal. I played one of these satch Ibanez guitars and blew me away! So expressive and musical' and easy to play! Makes my Charvel seem like its dead.
Anti Law Could always try swapping out the pickups to the same Joe uses in his sigs first, a little less costly, and might bring your fiddle back to life.
Ibanez JS2410 Made in Japan \m/
New album so far sounds better tonality wise back to the 90’s
Can I ask how you recorded the amp? Mics and mic positions? Thank you! Love your stuff!
Hi, th-cam.com/video/guoagnMRLd8/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps,

👽🤐 respect for my inspiration hero 🙏
great video and insight.
I like joe satriani
How are these two pick ups wired on this guitar? I am looking for a diagram.
Would it be ok to use the Satch Track as a bridge pickups with Cruiser (bridge) for middle and Neck positions? 5 way switch, 250k pots. Would this pickup that was designed to be a neck pickup work as a bridge pickup? Thanks.
Sure you can arrange the pickups anyway you want. I wouldn't go with 250k pots, they will choke the sound. 500k pots would sound better.
IS THE HAAAAANDS!!!!!!!!!!
Lear allready guys!!!
Satriani is the ONE guitar hero who knows how to play the blues!!!
And Gary Moore
Hi Larry. Can I order custom colors for your pickups? If so, where? I am in Europe.
That does not look like a single coil neck pick up. That is a humbucker on single rail. They also have a "quad" bucker that has 4 pick ups in one.
It’s basically a small humbucker that you can split and it becomes a single coil.
He never said it was single coil. It's referred to as single coil only in terms of size
Hi mr. Larry.. I want to know, how about the old PAF Joe , is it still on producing line, while we have the latest one Mo joe PU at the market
+bayu dwi aryoseno Hi, Yes it is (see link) www.dimarzio.com/pickups/humbuckers/paf-joe
Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio
Forgive what maybe a dumb question, but could this work in the bridge pickup of strat too?
Along with what the guitar already does, how does guitar hold up for metal riffage?.
I am to decide between this and the Ibanez MM1 (Martin Miller Signature) guitar. Thanks
Ramdas Devadiga I have a satriani series and a JEM, love both of them
Go for JS, its perfect.
Just get an RGA prestige if you have the budget for Signatures
Does the low priced Premium model have the same feature?
What's the song at the end of the video??
Hi Larry, I have various Dimarzio pickups, but I find with my amp which is quite hi-gain (Carvin Legacy 3) only really manages soaring leads with quite a high-output pickup like the Dimarzio Evo. How does Joe achieve such sustain and fat-tone, with lower output pickups, without pushing the gain on the amp to the point of unpleasantry and noise?
Is my amp the limiting factor in that it was designed with the Evo in mind (or the Evo was designed with the legacy in mind? I guess it doesn't matter which way around), or is there a better way to utilise my settings?
+Craig Shutt Hi Craig, Joe is using his custom Marshall amp in the video. I used a Shure SM57 and found the sweet spot on the the 4X12 cabinet. Here's the link to Marshall.

I know Joe has been through a number of different amps but usually come backs to that Marshall tone.
Hope that helps,
Larry DiMarzio
A COMPRESSOR WILL GIVE YOU THE FAT TONE AND SINGING ALMOST VIOLIN LIKE LEAD LINES, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW COMPRESSORS WORK WATCH A VIDEO BY A GUY NAMED PHILLIP MCKNIGHT, HE EXPLAINS WHAT THEY DO, JOE ALSO USES SUSTAINIAC PICKUPS IN SOME OF HIS GUITARS(DONT SEE ONE IN THIS GUITAR) COMBINED WITH HIS DIMARZIO PICKUPS AND THAT IS MADE FOR NOTED THAT SUSTAIN FOREVER
At one time I think Joe used a BOSS DS-1 Distortion pedal to push the preamp... maybe he still does for those soaring leads... correction: I think he has his own signature pedals now?
ACTUALLY I BELIEVE HE USES A POWER ATTENUATOR, I'M NOT SURE IF THE SATRIANI SIGNATURE MARSHALL HAS ONE BUILT IN THE 51503 COMBO DOES AND ITS A GOD SEND, YOU CAN PUSH THE TUBES AND TUNE IN YOUR TONE THEN TURN THE ATTENUATOR DOWN TO BEDROOM LEVEL AND YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR TONE ITS GREAT. YOU CAN ALSO PUSH YOUR AMB AND USE YOUR GUITAR'S VOLUME AS A SECOND MASTER THAT WORKS BUT NOT AS GOOD ITS BETTER FOR LOW WATTAGE AMPS LIKE A CLASS 5.
It's called a nice stack, and pedals galore. If you want to do it on the cheap purchase BIAS. It will do this and then some. Just make sure your computer is worth a shit and your guitar is a decent one.
It sounds like ''The Bells Of Lall, part 1'' at the end of the video.
It does! Love that tune.
satchfan2010 may be in the album SHOCKWAVE SUPERNOVA.
satchfan2010 well noted though i think it was just a coincidence he is just using his legatto style and actually he is a octave higher than in the original track i think
It's "Satch Boogie" from "Surfing With The Alien" album
like the guitar color, shape
How would the Satch track do in the middle position? I have a Mo'Joe and Air Norton in the bridge and neck, currently on the stock Ibanez S1 in the middle. Any recommendations for the middle? Strat tones would be nice!
Get the Ibanez AT300 middle pickup. I cant remember it's name but it is the best middle pup ive ever tried. Almost like an acoustic when combined with neck pup, and VERY good sounding on it's own too, which I find to be rare on middle pups.
"play´s guitar, wear´s a leather jacket and have sunglases" he is a badass :D
How does he get the amp to sound like that in such a small Room without cranking up the Volume? Is he Using Other effects too?(there s defenitely some delay involvier)
*involved
18 days till Prof Satch comes to Home of the Million Dollar Sunsets Boom
Moe joe.and.satch.track on my js 140 ❤
