it was for a school project and i happen to know his son i was 15 or 16 at the time. pulled some strings (no pun intended) and got him to do an interview with me. what you saw was the five min break in between switching discs from my handheld. it was great fun sitting next to a living legend and talking to him like a human being. of course i was and am still star struck. im glad that i get to share with you one of the best moments in my life. thanks for the comment.
+David Guo Not that i actually complain about my 120 dolar guitar but this video proves nothing. The guitar player in this video is Joe FUCKING Satriani. Of course HE is going to be able to play his original song on that guitar. And even he says "i can't do that part!" and "that was a little painful on this guitar."
algimantas navikas omg yeah. He has the video as proof. However, this guitar won't be sold until the uploader dies, and even then it could end up with one of his kids for another 100 years.
I wonder if he use light gauge strings because that helps you bend them; i like to tap the strings like Edward Van Halin so I am a pro. but I think this guy is a wannabe. this is not pro look at the miccrowave oven its not good for sound.
i know his son and joe lives in the same city as me so i only had to beg for a long time i'm trying to put the interview on here too but its really long (like 1hr and a half)
*Gives one of the cleanest renditions of the song he ever played (ignoring cheap tone)* Joe: "That was a little painful on this guitar" Everyone: I wish when I struggled with my guitar I sounded half as good
This is the proof that tone come from fingers...Every guitarist spend so much time and so much money trying to achieve the tone of Satriani or Bryan May...but this guys don't need awesome equipment or guitar or effects..the tone is in them...amazing
@@stevemora7845 That's great. If one must choose, I'd also rather have skills than good equipment, but I would know my true potential was being stifled by my awful gear. Fortunately, good guitarists, more often than not, have good equipment. Satch and I will continue to appreciate and enjoy using our professional gear while you jam on your Chinese guitar through your Line 6 Spider.
If memory serves me correct, I believe TheMexican1 once commented that he is friends with Joe's son Zacharhia Zane, he was visiting, and Joe had came by to pick him up.
I love this video because it is just amazing how good this sounds on an average guitar and amp, it just shows you it is all about the musician not the instrument.
Great video. It's wonderful to see one of the "gods" of guitar, using average gear and yet achieving the same sound and feel of their hit song. I wonder how many other guitarists would turn up their noses to play when given an inferior, non-branded gear. Rock on Joe...
It's a cheaper guitar, strings don't look like light gauge, it takes a toll on note bends and vibrato with heavier strings, plus the action might have been higher than he's used to. Takes a toll on fingers when you play like he does, but it still sounded great!!
Wow, so much fun to watch! Thanks for posting! Most people don't realize it, but Satch IS ACTUALLY AN ALIEN who was sent to earth to teach humans to enjoy life more fully through extreme creative experience. Thanks again!
Ok , That Impresses me VERY , because to see him play on a relatively "Cheap" Strat , and to see how SMOOTH he moves also in the upper registers , it makes much Fun to see him Play ...Joe Satriani , i mean really one of the greatest ..
JimmyJamesonMcNulty my bad english isn't my first language (my third actually) .. there's another way to correct people without being a prickhead douchebag bro
Que grande!!! Esto demuestra que lo realmente importante no es tanto el equipo sino las manos, la persona, el guitarrista. El equipo ayuda a sonar bien, pero... Hay que tener esas manos y esa cabeza para tocar así de increiblemente bien. Un genio!!!
En efecto jaja es de admirar realmente, aunque si prestas algo de atención la guitarra estaba algo "tuneada" por asi decirlo... pero bueno pasa tampoco puedes esperar mucho de una guitarra menor a los 90 dolares
Great vidéo, I'm surprise by the passion and joy of Joe when he play THE song that he have played many many times it's a famous guitar song a challenge for any new guitarist, and he plays it like he just learn it,I think he's hooked on guitar and that's the secret ;) keep on rocking with this guitar master;)jp
One, class act, Joe is one of the most down to earth regular people on the planet. Two, yeah that guitars value just skyrocketed. Three aside from the higher notes. It is exactly the same. Amazing.....
haha, this is such an inspiration, thanks for putting this up, it's pretty shocking to see a virtuoso playing on gear that's not exactly the best, and still having it come out pretty awesome. Every time I see stuff like this it really gives me more of a reason to get better at guitar and really push my limits, thanks man.
That's very cool. Joe hasn't been on my radar as a guitarist for a long time now, but I've always enjoyed his stuff and been floored by his talent. I had my 'Joe Satriani' phase too. Every single thing I've ever heard, seen, or read corroborates that he is a great person to be around and talk to. You're a luck man to have met him in this capacity. This is something to show and to tell your kids/grandkids about. Thanks for filming it for us to see.
Ah, glad to know I'm not the only one. The other day I woke up with the sound of someone playing the November Rain solo on my living room, I rushed there to find Slash playing with my gear. What the hell is wrong with these celebrities invading people's homes to use their guitars?
yes there it is, i couldn't find it again, i was searching "joe in my house/garage" ^^ great instructional video, extreme zooming and only joe. thx joe and the mexican.
+hotdoggravy However you do need gear that is comfortable and right for you. That may end up in paying a little high. Your statement is true though. Beginners shouldn't go out and get a USA Delux or standard Strat, but rather a Mexican.
yep, I just don't get why people bought those though it's just the same in my ears if it is between the upper middle range and top of the line gear but you can sound the same because effects are getting better and better, I think chappers have reviewed an amp that can change your tuning without you doing it manually, you'll only need an amp app to do that so basically, some time in the future, we can copy tube amp tone using an effects pedal or a solid state amp.
@hotdoggravy you don't need it if you're joe satriani! actually, you never need it. but you should start with equipment that is friendly. if your action is too high, or the guitar just sounds like crap, you will be discouraged
I'm surprised that guitar didn't burst into flames or disintegrate halfway through the song. Seriously, though, I've met Joe on two occassions-- it is hard to imagine a more accommodating and gracious rock legend.
@Ferrockarril my goodness its been years since ive used that rp200 if i can remember correctly it was the artist series of the rp200 i believe it was one of the solo settings either 71 or 81, its the one with solo wah! hope that helped you
Maybe the coolest thing I have seen on TH-cam satch should do this more often just go around people's houses shredding on their shitty guitars . Makes sense .

Brilliant 🎸
So my guitar wasn't the problem. Must be the amp then.
Yeah,
I had to buy expensive guitars just to realize I sound just as good on a 200$ Squier Tele no matter what amp I used lol
Lmao
Anybody who likes to complain "I don't have the right guitar" should watch this!
+David Guo true every tone come from guitarist not the guitar
+David Guo well, you can't play a 24 fret guitar song on a 21 fret guitar
+David Guo Not that i actually complain about my 120 dolar guitar but this video proves nothing. The guitar player in this video is Joe FUCKING Satriani. Of course HE is going to be able to play his original song on that guitar. And even he says "i can't do that part!" and "that was a little painful on this guitar."
Joe could probably play this on a toaster so that's not really fair
@@Pypamid 😄😄😄 LOL.. you're right!
I need that guitar and that amp, then I will sound just like him!
Hahaha
fer sure, save $$ win friends n influence people!
lol
JAJA
NOT... hahahaha
cheap guitar but, as for every guitar, the guitar player makes the difference !
Made a 100.00 guitar sound like a million dollars!!!
guitars worth increased by 10 000$ after this
algimantas navikas omg yeah. He has the video as proof. However, this guitar won't be sold until the uploader dies, and even then it could end up with one of his kids for another 100 years.
'I can't do that part' Don't be silly Joe, we know you can.
+Daniel Robinson It's because he didn't have the whammy bar.
@@satchfan2010 he still played it later and still sounded awesome
Live recording with the "wrong guitar", and it sounds good enough to go on a studio album
Plot twist: TheMexican1 makes *every* house guest he has play Surfing with the Alien.
😂😂, absolutely knee jerkin!
This man proved to be a great guitarist does not have to use the expensive gear. even on a Strat Copy at a Fan’s Home.
Good Job Satriani!
He nails that "Guitar Center on a Saturday afternoon" tone!
Stephen Beatty hahaha
LMAO!
dude that was so close!!! this guy should be in a band... and buy a damn whammy... sounded like the original alright
nicolhaidi that's probably because this actually is Joe Satriani
+Filip Kaja That's why the world is doomed
Nobody seems to understand irony this days
+Lucas Santos Cant be sure hey . I also saw it as irony
+nicolhaidi :) You should never waste your time trying to be clever on TH-cam. It's just not worth it.
I wonder if he use light gauge strings because that helps you bend them; i like to tap the strings like Edward Van Halin so I am a pro. but I think this guy is a wannabe. this is not pro look at the miccrowave oven its not good for sound.
When teachers told us that we didn't needed a Marshall and a Gibson to sound great we never believed them.
este tipo toca hasta con una escoba y suena fantástico!
jajaja correcto =)
Kick ass! He's awesome. How he could make that starter setup sound that good is pure skill and experience. My hat is off to Joe, as it always is.
i know his son and joe lives in the same city as me so i only had to beg for a long time i'm trying to put the interview on here too but its really long (like 1hr and a half)
You should upload the entire interview, it would be amazing for every satch fan
he never ceases to amaze me with his playing and how normal he is
i laughed when he was like "i cant do this part"
and you said "try it"
*Gives one of the cleanest renditions of the song he ever played (ignoring cheap tone)*
Joe: "That was a little painful on this guitar"
Everyone: I wish when I struggled with my guitar I sounded half as good
This is the proof that tone come from fingers...Every guitarist spend so much time and so much money trying to achieve the tone of Satriani or Bryan May...but this guys don't need awesome equipment or guitar or effects..the tone is in them...amazing
Spoken like a guy with garbage equipment.
Marcus...Funny, yes, but I'm confident you don't (but wish) you could even play Kumbaya on the guitar.
@@marcusblackfellow2850 Id rather be a guy who can play rather than a guy with nice equipment who can't play.
It is funny but they still insist on using expensive equipment
@@stevemora7845 That's great. If one must choose, I'd also rather have skills than good equipment, but I would know my true potential was being stifled by my awful gear. Fortunately, good guitarists, more often than not, have good equipment. Satch and I will continue to appreciate and enjoy using our professional gear while you jam on your Chinese guitar through your Line 6 Spider.
First question...how did you get Satriani in your house?....
If memory serves me correct, I believe TheMexican1 once commented that he is friends with Joe's son Zacharhia Zane, he was visiting, and Joe had came by to pick him up.
Joe S lucky charms ? And then he was trapped in
@John Overthinker yep, chloroform too probably. lol
Does is mean you don't have one? I got 3, usually strolling around the backyard and sometimes scavenging the fridge.
I love this video because it is just amazing how good this sounds on an average guitar and amp, it just shows you it is all about the musician not the instrument.
You shoulda been whipping up one hell of a meal for Joe. While he was Surfin With The Alien, you shoulda been surfin with the dishes lol.
This comment is one of the funniest I’ve read in awhile. Underrated comment. Well done! Lol
There is strong reason why someone is called Virtuoso...
Definitely, the tone is in the fingers.
LesPaul2006 That's what i said "Neither the bow nor the arrow matters, but the indian"
Juan Iparraguirre They do matter, but not as much as many people think.
not really, his tone sounds like shit.
Good technic but tone stinks
Jesus Pedroza it's through a phone camera lmao
Joe can make a twig tied to a dinner plate sound amazing
One of the best moments of TH-cam history.
Great video. It's wonderful to see one of the "gods" of guitar, using average gear and yet achieving the same sound and feel of their hit song. I wonder how many other guitarists would turn up their noses to play when given an inferior, non-branded gear. Rock on Joe...
he said it was a little painfull ...
Now we know he's a human :)
It's a cheaper guitar, strings don't look like light gauge, it takes a toll on note bends and vibrato with heavier strings, plus the action might have been higher than he's used to. Takes a toll on fingers when you play like he does, but it still sounded great!!
Hard to play a guitar not set up the way you like it period!
Wow, so much fun to watch! Thanks for posting!
Most people don't realize it, but Satch IS ACTUALLY AN ALIEN who was sent to earth to teach humans to enjoy life more fully through extreme creative experience.
Thanks again!
Ok , That Impresses me VERY , because to see him play on a relatively "Cheap" Strat , and to see how SMOOTH he moves also in the upper registers , it makes much Fun to see him Play ...Joe Satriani , i mean really one of the greatest ..
How is my hero in your house? That is something to brag about. Joe is such a cool guy and amazing even on the boat paddle he played here.
1) Es una gran persona 2) Es un gran Artista
Satch: "I can't do that... Oh, true, I'm Satriani, I break physics laws"
a really cool and down-on-earth musician ! :) you're such a lucky guy !

my bad english isn't my first language (my third actually) .. there's another way to correct people without being a prickhead douchebag bro
+Alex Muscalu its ok Alex, Jimmy only knows one language, it's called Douchebag
+Alex Muscalu Ironically, he's playing *Surfing with the Aliens*. :D
+Stonewall380 Entertainment Nice, So you're a racist moron. Are you proud now?
Zakk Turbo How am I racist?! I was saying that because he said "down-on-earth"...
Awesome. I'll stop buying guitars and more focus on my fingers loool
I think this proves the addage ,"It's not the gear, it's the player" in reference to over-all sound and feel. Thanks!
How did that happen? One day you woke up and just like that there was Satch shredding on your guitar? :)
I was smiling the whole time. Wow. Now I feel bad for wanting another new guitar.
Something very magical about this,one of the best videos on TH-cam 🤟🤟
I can't do that part
*Does it*
Fucking LEGEND
"Knock knock"
"- Who's there ?"
"- Joe."
"- Joe who ?"
"- Joe FUCKING Satriani !"
That's a pretty cool video, tx for sharing, Joes personality comes out when with the Chickenfoot guys.
Joe came to my house but we just ate cheese burgers.
+Brandon LaRocque Shreds a cheeseburger like a guitar no doubt
LMAO.. You guys funny
One of my favourites videos on the internet. This really is what TH-cam was made for.
Que grande!!!
Esto demuestra que lo realmente importante no es tanto el equipo sino las manos, la persona, el guitarrista.

I like this guy . He's a friendly fellow . I watched his interviews . Cool
"That was a little painful on this guitar". You still pulled it off though Joe.
Lucky bastard.
So cool! Might be really cool to have Joe playing this song!!!!
Can't wait to see him live in July!
Great vidéo, I'm surprise by the passion and joy of Joe when he play THE song that he have played many many times it's a famous guitar song a challenge for any new guitarist, and he plays it like he just learn it,I think he's hooked on guitar and that's the secret ;) keep on rocking with this guitar master;)jp
Este hombre podria estar tocando una escoba con seis hilos amarrados y la haria sonar increible. Un autentico genio.
One, class act, Joe is one of the most down to earth regular people on the planet. Two, yeah that guitars value just skyrocketed. Three aside from the higher notes. It is exactly the same. Amazing.....
this proves that its not all just effects from satriani!
ne of the best guitarist of all time!!
And year ur guitar is blessed! ROCK ON!
haha, this is such an inspiration, thanks for putting this up, it's pretty shocking to see a virtuoso playing on gear that's not exactly the best, and still having it come out pretty awesome.
Every time I see stuff like this it really gives me more of a reason to get better at guitar and really push my limits, thanks man.
I don't listen to satch often as I did, but whenever I see him, I listen the entire way through
That's very cool. Joe hasn't been on my radar as a guitarist for a long time now, but I've always enjoyed his stuff and been floored by his talent. I had my 'Joe Satriani' phase too.

This is something to show and to tell your kids/grandkids about. Thanks for filming it for us to see.
I'm imagining a JS Ibanez and a Marshall half stack showed up on the doorstep a few days later.
I love it that on 2:07 he says "I can't do that part." but you encourage him a bit and he plays it anyway without whammy and it sounds almost perfect!
He don't need no stinkin tremolo bar---lol
Joe: That was a little painful on this guitar... Ha ha... I was waiting for him to just break that shit up.
This is one of the better arguments for tone being in your fingers.
This is why Joe is fabulous. Plus he is so down to earth.
first time that i see joe without ibanez wow
THE best player ever AND so down to earth and helpful! See..... your guitar CAN do it. Awsome
His later stuff is SO much better. That being said... that was way beyond what EVH could hope to do. Satch is the next evolution
Satriani hasn't run out of songs and likely won't any time soon.
Prefer his early stuff myself. Much more raw and focused
Now this guitar got history
congratulation to u. u such a lucky guy. i still cant believe his playing so smooth with this strat.
totally amazing! hopefully this is a lesson to us all that equipment plays a much smaller roll than we had originally thought.
I watch this video when I'm feeling down ... Such an inspiration
Ah, glad to know I'm not the only one. The other day I woke up with the sound of someone playing the November Rain solo on my living room, I rushed there to find Slash playing with my gear. What the hell is wrong with these celebrities invading people's homes to use their guitars?
Virtuoso playing with cheap gear omg! That guitar lost virginity there.
This is a prime example of how great tone comes from the guitarist themselves not their gear,
what an amazing gentleman he is, you are so lucky, I would love to meet him.
yes there it is, i couldn't find it again, i was searching "joe in my house/garage" ^^
great instructional video, extreme zooming and only joe.
thx joe and the mexican.
I would like to see him playing with a LP :)
Que legal !!!! Tocando na casa de um fã, com o equipo do cara !!!
This is very cool, I always dream 'what if' Jimmy page played my guitar, just one chord! Joe seems like a wonderful guy
proof to beginners, you don't need top of the line gear
+hotdoggravy However you do need gear that is comfortable and right for you. That may end up in paying a little high. Your statement is true though. Beginners shouldn't go out and get a USA Delux or standard Strat, but rather a Mexican.

Everyone should get a Mexican. They are awesome guitars. Proper strats.
@hotdoggravy
you don't need it if you're joe satriani!
actually, you never need it. but you should start with equipment that is friendly. if your action is too high, or the guitar just sounds like crap, you will be discouraged
@@GavinMorris1 i have a mexican girlfriend. she sounds nothing like a strat
@Puertorico2494 The tone is in your hands! The gear helps but practice is better.
@ravenshield56 I polish mine sometimes. You can't see the awesome finishes as well when they're all printed up or dirty! :]
Crisp sound is amplifying whole tone
That guitar with that tone just looks like a blast to play.
Amazing how effortless it looks.
I'm surprised that guitar didn't burst into flames or disintegrate halfway through the song. Seriously, though, I've met Joe on two occassions-- it is hard to imagine a more accommodating and gracious rock legend.
Satcha divine player !!!
It's true I've seen him play musical chairs, he's a pro.
Polo
You're a great man for sharing such a moment with us! Cheers man!
this is why he is the best.i mean he is sitting on a kitchen counter and it still does not faze him at all.great videoan dhail to the king.
siempre vuelvo a este video..una de las mejores versiones de este tema jaj...Grande Joe!!!!
@Ferrockarril my goodness its been years since ive used that rp200 if i can remember correctly it was the artist series of the rp200 i believe it was one of the solo settings either 71 or 81, its the one with solo wah! hope that helped you
A good guitarist makes any guitar sound good. Satriani is humble guy
Wow..
In the company of greatness!
Maybe the coolest thing I have seen on TH-cam satch should do this more often just go around people's houses shredding on their shitty guitars . Makes sense .
October 3rd he's in Calgary. I've got two front row seats. Counting down!
Couldn't help but grin all the way through that
Satriani is a LEGEND!! That was awesome to watch. :)
This is what a truly hard work does! That why he is Joe Stariani!
very cool. I'd like to see Satch play like that on one of my guitars. I'm a southpaw.
bet he'd still own me though. ..
