Instruments are just tools to express ourselves ... Cheap things will give us a terrible sound quality, but Satch has enough talent to get the maximum potential of this gear
We can't see the rest of the gear, so I'm willing to bet it's not "magic", but the pedals he's using. A good gtr player will play well on almost any guitar, but that's different as saying the tone of the instrument changes for the better because there is more or less meat on Satch's fingertips
i concur...💯 but...definitely at least get a mid level priced guitar and Monster Rock Cables...💯 i wholeheartedly recommend an Ibanez S model i have a Ibanez S470 with EMG 81/89s and even though they are definitely not needed.....MAN THEY SOUND AND FEEL GREAT!!! i respect anyone who prefers passive pickups (standard magnetic pickups) even though i payed as much for the pickups as i did for my guitar....bout $500 with installation... the guitar was actually just under $500 when i got it many years ago think it's a 1999 or 2000 maybe... but man....that wizard 2 neck and the Zero Resistance floating tremolo along with the double locking string mechanisms are just out of this world...💯 i understand each musician has different tastes as far as brand and style of guitars (which i totally respect) but ive never played any guitar since that was as good as my ibanez s470.💯 funny story, i decided and bought my S model Ibanez waaay before i even knew Satriani plays S model Ibanezs ...💯 great minds think alike i suppose...
Not when I turn my air amp up to 11... Kidding the guy is out of this world. I’m in awe every time I see/hear him play. Supposedly a really nice guy too!
You don't need an expensive guitar but cheap guitars are usually harder to play and keep in tune, etc. Beginners should buy at least a mid-range priced guitar - it will be easier to play and less prone to getting frustrated learning chords. You can always resell it and get your investment back. Joe in this video can get away playing like that on a cheap guitar just because he has practiced so much he can compensate for the difficulty of playing a cheap guitar.
@@jamieostrowski4447 i bought a $80 guitar on wish... Its tuning pegs are awesome... Never been out of tune... The whammy bar and bridge are also great. Maybe i just got lucky... But if you're really dedicated... There ain't no one stopping you.
One of the fundamental things about being a solo-guitarist is creating your own unique sound. Witch comes from mixing amps, guitars, pickups, strings, picks etc. And ofc his techniques, witch includes the use of the whole instrument, such as the whammy bar, piching harmonics ect. His songs are based on those elements and without it its hard to play them as intended.
There's a reason Joe Satriani is the best electric guitar player ever to play (obvious honorable mentions to Steve Vai, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn) it's because he's got THE POWER COSMIC !!!!💯 after all....HE IS THE SILVER SURFER....🤘😎💯
I haven't read anything from these haters you speak of but this really does actually sound terrible. You can tell that he even thinks it sounds terrible by the look on his face. Obviously, he's going to play it better than just about anyone else can. He fucking wrote it. But it sounds like shit on this guitar with this set up.
@@GuitarguyRichard56 that's not even funny when it's said, but it's just pathetic when it's in writing. Listen to the song again, but this time with headphones instead of your shitty flip phone speaker and you'll hear that it's actually trash, apart from his ability to play. The sound is horrible.
This cheap Chinese guitar, for certain was shocked from what on it is played by Joe Satriani. Never she even dreamed of it, and here it was so lucky....!
My 150usd guitar also holds its tune well. But the neck is just not that comfortable once your playing level increases you’ll notice it. After playing it for 7 years I got myself an ibanez prestige and the difference in playability is massive. Still loving my cheap guitar though.
When he plays certain parts more straight like that, as in without all the whammy bending and such, he starts to sound more like Eddie or something in a way.
Proves the old fashioned thought of the sound comes from your fingers. Nuno Bettencourt played Eddie Van Halen's rig and said he just sounded like himself too.
Noted : they never give away the amps ! Joe didn't bother with the whammy bar - it's 22 frets ? ! ? and to hear & see Joe at his best ...look for the Live in San Francisco DVD-2cd
What's the story behind this?!?! Awesome, lol. I once had a dream where Satch just showed up at some house I was at and played like this 😅 But this really happened to someone!
Yea, having custom gear just comes down to comfort for this reason. If this is truly a poorly made Chinese guitar, the edges of the fretboard and even the fret-ends themselves could be quite sharp.
Efren 'Bata' Reyes, arguably the "greatest" pool player ever used a 20USD pool cue for the majority of his mind-bending career, even executing some of the most legendary pool shots ever with it under tournament and gambling conditions. Satch, like all true masters, can make magic on just about anything. Gear are simply tools. But no substitute ever for true skill and genuine craftsmanship in any endeavor. Give the best tools to a shitty carpenter and you'll still end up with a crooked wall. :)
Just astonishing. With the simple addition of a Satriani you too can make any guitar sound great.
😂
I’m gonna install a Satriani on my strat tomorrow.
@@mwqs1 I'm gonna do it to.

@@Money.Rocks.Podcast maybe its not the amount of meat, its the timing and accuracy of the meat
Joe: "I can't do that part"
does that part
Joe: "That was a little painful on this"
💀💀💀
cheap guitar: it was amazing!!! best moment of my life!!!
This has convinced me that my next guitar doesn't have to be high end. I needed to see this.
easier to play expensive guitars tho. I practice on a cheap Ibanez SA120 loaded w/ DiMarzio's, but I play an S8120 Prestige live.
i concur...💯
but...definitely at least get a mid level priced guitar and Monster Rock Cables...💯
i wholeheartedly recommend an Ibanez S model
i have a Ibanez S470 with EMG 81/89s and even though they are definitely not needed.....MAN THEY SOUND AND FEEL GREAT!!!
i respect anyone who prefers passive pickups (standard magnetic pickups)
even though i payed as much for the pickups as i did for my guitar....bout $500 with installation... the guitar was actually just under $500 when i got it many years ago think it's a 1999 or 2000 maybe...
but man....that wizard 2 neck and the Zero Resistance floating tremolo along with the double locking string mechanisms are just out of this world...💯
i understand each musician has different tastes as far as brand and style of guitars (which i totally respect)
but ive never played any guitar since that was as good as my ibanez s470.💯
funny story, i decided and bought my S model Ibanez waaay before i even knew Satriani plays S model Ibanezs
...💯
great minds think alike i suppose...
2:22 When Joe bends a string the Earth tears a new dimension
Surely
Satriani can air guitar and sound better than anyone playing a real guitar.
Not when I turn my air amp up to 11...
Kidding the guy is out of this world. I’m in awe every time I see/hear him play.
Supposedly a really nice guy too!
i guess it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new series online?
@Stanley Kyree i watch on flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Ameer Talon definitely, have been using FlixZone for since april myself :)
@Ameer Talon thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!
he still sounds like Joe Satriani,,
omar mukhtar wonder why
This just proves you dont NEED a $3500 guitar. It just shows, to me, that I NEED. TO. PRACTICE. MORE.
Shows me I just need to sell mine and walk away LOL. Kidding of course. But seriously, wanna buy a guitar? :P
master guitar player

@@LanxPenzenpepper Well that's cool. I'm not saying that a beginner can't learn on a cheap guitar, it does usually help, though.
I believe that guitar just upgraded itself on his own ;)
As Bo Diddely once said "Nothing any different about this guitar.... it's the man that's playing it". Perfectly exemplified in this clip.
As they same a good tradesman never blames his tools. Even an extremely experienced professional can make something cheap and nasty. Useful
Have you ever tried using a sidchrome spanner and then a cheap spanner? One can take the skin off your knuckes the other cant
In order of importance: 1) the musician; 2) the amplification system; 3) the strings; 4) the guitar.
What's most amazing is that he found ways to do serviceable stuff when clearly he needed a whammy bar to do harmonic screams and dive bombs.
Man, the guy is a genius
Tone is in the hands 🙌
The tone wasn't bad, the camera recording/mic was bad.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
MY man Satch could play air guitar and make it sound bad azz!!! 💯 🎸🤘😎
I’ve been saying it forever : it’s not the brand it’s the player ; great vid thanks

it's because he's got THE POWER COSMIC !!!!💯
after all....HE IS THE SILVER SURFER....🤘😎💯
He played it as well as he did on the record. Wow!
He will be a star if he keep practicing.
😂
I laughed out loud
even on this cheap crap guitar he still played better than any of the haters could play on his signature axe.

It just goes to show-it's the craftsman,not the tool...
That was awesome! Thanks for posting!😁👍
that guitar was a virgin till joe got ahold of it he poped its cheerry for shure
He actually got some great tones out of that thing!
One of the best versions ever! I love it :)
This cheap Chinese guitar, for certain was shocked from what on it is played by Joe Satriani. Never she even dreamed of it, and here it was so lucky....!
All you need is supreme super natural talent
This is a great argument for tone being in yer fingers.
Another great that plays with soul in his fingertips, love it.
That's what you call talent, you can maneuver anything out of something...
Thanks for letting us know that we suck not our guitars!!😂😂😂
Tone comes from your fingers, gear can cut or add stuff. Good gear highlights your finger tone :)
He makes cheap gear sound like a million bucks!
I always listen to joe sat music ...from Philippines
yeah, it sounded really good, but at the end Joe said that it was little bit PAINFUL to play that guitar. It's not just about the tone.
Epic. So many lessons in one shonky video. Nice one Joe.
Amazing Joe. Our brother in arms.
Well, it wasn't that cheap, it stayed in tune the whole song
damn right
it was a chinese "custom shop"
My 150usd guitar also holds its tune well. But the neck is just not that comfortable once your playing level increases you’ll notice it. After playing it for 7 years I got myself an ibanez prestige and the difference in playability is massive. Still loving my cheap guitar though.
Cheap guitars can stay in tune an entire gig if you don't use the bar and know how to put strings the correct way
Better than gibson.
still sounded awesome!! proven once again "it's the fingers not the guitar"
Absolutely he's the man..
Joe Satriani my home video
That's called a master guitar player
Proof right here that it's all in the fingers
el que es perico donde quiera es verde! ...
That was voldemort's magic
Now this guitar costs suddenly 2000$...😅
Este video es para que dicen que solo tocan con guitarras caras claro ejemplo de un grande como Satriani
A great guitarist will make any guitar sound good
What a proud skills biblical
the guy could play a ukulele and make it sound good.
Ive just bought an Ibanez and I bought new Dimarzio Pickups to sound like Joe Satriani....and this video have shown me I made a BIG mistake.....
yeah, that's what a real guitarist should be... hail Joe
Satriani può suonare anke un'asse da stiro!
And this is Joe Satriani turning water into wine!
A true master.
This is what im saying..its all about us.. not all about the gear we used the guitar we played..the secret skill is your mind and hand..
We have to remember that those fingers has created Vai, Hammet, LaLonde, etc... thus, now that guitar can be sold for $2000
It's not the arrow. It's the Indian shooting it.
you hear that buzz at the end?
that is precisely i can't play anything without humbucker pickups and Monster Rock Cables...💯
as long as the guitar is well setup it will feels good and comfortable to play
When he plays certain parts more straight like that, as in without all the whammy bending and such, he starts to sound more like Eddie or something in a way.
Whatever the guitar is, it depends on who plays it ..... Joe is great .. !!
Proves the old fashioned thought of the sound comes from your fingers. Nuno Bettencourt played Eddie Van Halen's rig and said he just sounded like himself too.
Joe and Steve Vai played Brian May's rig and were sad they didn't sound like Brian May.
the 3:30 mins of glory of this chinese guitar......
CNC machining has reduced the distance between cheap and expensive guitars.
a million dollar player in a 10 dollar guitar. and Sound great
Noted : they never give away the amps ! Joe didn't bother with the whammy bar
- it's 22 frets ? ! ?
and to hear & see Joe at his best ...look for the Live in San Francisco DVD-2cd
no joke, Live from San Francisco is impeccable.
Odd... My cheap guitar doesnt sound like that. Oh wait that's right I suck at playing.
What's the story behind this?!?! Awesome, lol. I once had a dream where Satch just showed up at some house I was at and played like this 😅 But this really happened to someone!
It’s the player - not the guitar . The sound comes from the hands 🙌🏻
That's a load of bullshit.
And the heart ❤
no importa tanto gastarte todo por aparentar ,Satriani puede tocar tan bien con esa estrato china como con su signatura model.
Pool hustler using a broom stick end clearing the table
Looking for the tremolo bar. 😁😂😁😂 such a great talent
Hope that guitar was over the age 18
this guy with a cheap strat should meet Joe satriani
Amazing, as always! What was the context in which Satch is playing this song and this guitar in what appears to be someone's rehearsal space?
with a gas top stove ??😂
well whats on the other end of the cable???? (fx system,amp,etc)
Where can I buy satriani fingers?
Nightmares of trademarks
I'm guessing Joe was saying at the end: That was a little painful on this guitar?
Nasha Naufal yes
Nasha Naufal lol xD
Yea, having custom gear just comes down to comfort for this reason. If this is truly a poorly made Chinese guitar, the edges of the fretboard and even the fret-ends themselves could be quite sharp.
No pain no gain
who's the best guitarist? for now, since i just saw this video, satch is the best.
Place small scratch accross floyd bridge, you will know if you have an actual floyd rose. Brass composite.
See guys, is not the guitar, it is us 😢😅😂😭

Wow... this demo proves that his tone is in his fingers!!

Damn. How much does it cost to get Joe Satriani to play in your ktichen.
Qué grande!!!!
