@@henrijsleja103 Planned? Seriously doubt it. Simple twelve-bar blue progression. If a professional guitarist can't do this he better look for something else to do......
That's the first time I'd ever heard Joe play that I'm aware of (and the way the band just came together shows what good,solid musicians they are) and I'm much impressed
Michael Stevenson I wasn’t aware it was a competition. But anyways, they are all professional musicians and make a living from playing. There’s no reason to underestimate his playing, he’s probably an awesome player just like Satch...
I was just a kid when this show aired. I stayed up later because I knew the satriani was going to play. Little did I know that I would witness a unique moment live.
When Joe looked over at the guitarist in the house band and smiled, like "hey, we're rocking, man!", was probably the best musical moment in that guy's life.
Nah, Tomate plays with lot's of great musicians. He may just be backing up Joe here, but he's no joke & is well known in the Spanish & Portuguese speaking world. He's played with Paco De Lucia who would eat Satriani alive in a shredding battle.
Here's the comment I was looking for. It sounded like Portuguese, but I'm nowhere remotely close to fluent. Was wondering where this was taped, Obrigado!
i love how by the end of the jam the whole band knew exactly what to do. the drummer helped joe wrap everything up so perfectly, and it was all improvised. props to that guitarist for knowing what needed to be done and joining in, even the audience was in on in.
Here we are to reply to comments a year later. Blame youtube for deciding everyone should watch again. The whole band knew what to do cause it's a simple blues standard pattern. It's one of the first thing any guitar player learns. Every electric guitar player knows where the chord changes are and what they will be. It's used in jams all the time because any random group of players knows where to go with it and it allows lots of room for leads. Merry Christmas!
That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to jam with the one and only legendary Joe satriani the house band guitarist he jumped right on that moment rumor has it he is still smiling to this day. 👍👍😎
Uh, he's a little too technical and precise for blues. To really play the blues with a feel or more thickness, you gotta be a little sloppy. You know, hit an extra string or two maybe not have your fingers exactly on the right fret or maybe leave a string not firmly pressed to the fretboard. Joe doesn't have that bone in his body, as much as he tries he's too much of a technician.
Tomati is a personal friend of mine and I played guitar with Gary Brown from New Orleans when we were in Brasil (I've been there 10 times over the years and played on this show twice) Tomati is a world class Jazz and fusion musician that studied at GIT in the late 80's. He knows Mike Stern, Scott Henderson and too many other world class players to mention. He lives in Miami now and Joe Satriani helped him and his wife get back into the country after they were sent back to Brasil with work visa issues. Just two weeks ago he was hanging out with Sting when he heard him and Michelle playing on the beach
I had the great pleasure of meeting him and his band at a hotel after his concert in Greensburg Pa. abt 10 yes ago...he was gracious as could be, considering it was after midnight on a cold snowy winter evening...photos autographs, and he signed my buddys Ibanez guitar that he had brought to the show in hopes of getting it signed...it was just a great moment for us....Joe and his band are great pros and damn nice people...

@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA Why the hell are you even here then? We're just here listening to blues and you barge in with you're "10,000 IQ" brain and ruin the fun. I doubt you know this but congratulations, many of Satriani's influences come from both classical and blues, just listen to Baroque. Not to mention that many guitar techniques, especially tapping, were all derived from blues music, so we wouldn't have people like Mashall Harrison without blues, or those backing tracks that I snuck a peek on in your playlists. Seriously, you got blues to thanks for creating the basis of those tracks.

One of the things that I've always appreciated about Satriani is his restraint. His technical skill is astonishing, but he generally doesn't overplay. He plays as much as the song requires instead of showing off and overdoing it. He's a songwriter first and a guitarist after that.
That’s the beautiful thing about music is it brings people together. No one was told to join in and the audience even contributed to the whole experience and brought smiles to everyone
That’s the great thing about 12 bar blues. It’s a universal form so it’s easy to jam with other musicians even if you have never met them before or had a single rehearsal. Great job by the band and Joe… well that’s just Satch doing what Satch does!
@@Taylor.Dude. the scale is for people too lazy to learn how to play the guitar.. and dont claim you need "feel" for it.. if you had feel you wouldnt need a scale..
@@sirspongadoodle wat.. all the licks you ever play are assembled using some kind of scale. If you can’t make your own licks up by combining existing ones and using a scale you are an incompetent Guitarist
Joe where J stands for Joy! Always a treat to hear and watch him play with that mischievous grin when he unfolds his wicked bag of guitar tricks! Thanks a million for the video, it made my day!
Saw Joe at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland Oregon, 2009. He made my ears ring all night, his guitar was in my brain all night long and I loved it!!! Gracias!!!
The house guitarist jumped in at the perfect time. As soon as Joe was started switching from rhythm to lead, dude was on it with the same chords. I think he just really wanted to see Joe flex on everyone so he jumped in as backup.
Great blues! I am a Bass player and after 9 years I have finally found my perfect Band Mates, I am the Blues man, our Drummer toured with the opening band for Testament all across the US, Europe and Brazil, our Rythm man is a Dialysis patient and has nothing better to do than practice and is fantastic and our Lead/Frontman can pull lyrics out of his ass in seconds. We do all our own originals and are constantly writing more music. This coming summer we will be doing 3 mini tours of the Bay area opening for other bands. I am the oldest having just turned 60, never give up on your dreams or your music. Our style is what we like to call Metal Blues.
That's Jo Soares' Show, originally called “Programa do Jô”, in portuguese. This man behind the host table is the person who brought talk shows to Brazil, it really didn't exist here before him. He's a comedian, writer, actor, director and also a musician - but not a journalist btw. The show was very very funny, always one of the audience leaders in Brazil, with some outstanding guests (Mark Knopfler, Ayrton Senna, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Ednaldo Pereira and many others). However, after almost 30 years of interviews, Jo decided to retire from television in 2016 or 2017 (not sure about the date). We love this guy.
Satch is always gonna be the only one of that school of guitar virtuosos that I can really get behind. Just seems like a genuinely good guy and all his stuff is musical first and technical show-offery second.
@@musiclover9361 I think he meant that you'd be able to jam with different musicians over a simple blues progression. Not necessarily play like Satriani
..and he is probably a lawyer to make a living. burried dreams and annoying wife for whom one discovers she s not a person he s imagined she was, back then.
Yes a lot of men go bald ! 10 out of 10 for observation ! Also this guy has influenced a lot of musicians mainly guitarists who are mostly blokes . . . Do the math dude !
@@thefog7067Bro I like Satriani, but it's not the fact that he's bald... you've got to admit he's dressed like a goofball here. He's wearing shiny plastic pants, let that sink in for a sec.
He's not letting loose on the blues though, He's just letting loose on an Eric Clapton song he knows. Don't get me wrong, Joe Satriani is a great guitar player, but this entire performance is just an Eric Clapton song.
If you have never seen Joe in concert then you don't know what you are missing. Been listening to him when Surfing with the alien was brand new. He is like a fine wine....gets better with age. Cheers
I saw Joe ('89? ) at the Tupperware in Orlando, Fl.. I had never even heard of him- went with a guitarist boyfriend. He came out and played for 2 hours nonstop....and ourselves were left speechless!! Flying In A Blue Dream !!!
I love the fact the A list backing player joined in just subtle...then the drummer then the crowd wow... and then that look at each other. Only the players know this feeling.
He comes to the UK? I live in the UK now but i was in the bay area (cali), where he is from, in the middle 80's till 2000. I am gonna have to try a little harder to get tickets i guess.
@@suminshizzles6951 yes he toured on his albums and came with the G3 group . He is such an incredible player. I will certainly be seeing him next time he comes. Welcome to the uk . I am in Birmingham. When Joe plays here he is at the NEC centre
IMHPO Joe is by so far the undisputed king of the group of shredders that came out of the '80s. He can actually write a SONG, not just play an exotic scale over a weird set of chord changes in a bizarre time signature at 160 BPM.
Joe is both an inspiration and a discouragement. He inspired me to pick up the guitar; and discouraged me when I realized I can't even play like him...even just a bit. Donated my guitars to a band in our neighborhood sometime in the 90s. Still listening to Joe! Still the best.
A lot of us will never be able to play like him. Some of us started too late in life, have injuries or cant play fast, lack, temporarily, the knowledge. Wont stop me from learning. I have a broken pinky finger that is bent at 45 degrees. I have a hard time with the high E. The breakthough for me was a short scale fender squire mustang. Covid was a blessing in disguise as i not only bought a new guitar but am playing again. I started again after 30 years. It is never too late. I play for the love of the thing. Even if it means i have to learn to play music that others made. I learned how to play the first 7 bars of shine on you crazy diamond this morning in a few hours. You can either wish you could play or you just listen to others play. Your choice. I made my choice. I am playing again. So can you if you want.
@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA You really go around every comment thread and say "blues sucks" and then brag about liking classical music? Blues is the rawest, most beautiful thing ever. Nothing compares. I don't even play blues. Look up some blues artists and try to feel something, dude. It is the fact that it's so EASY that it is the most DIFFICULT to make it sound good. I also recommend listening to where all this pentatonic spam came from, the delta blues.
Always got to have the smart arses that can't just enjoy and listen, constantly got to try and demean or take away from someone else's playing. I bet if it was SRV up there you would have been creaming your pants saying how good it was.
This performance was Recorded live at Jo Soares TV Show in Sao Paulo City. At that time, Mr. Satriani was touring in Brazil and was invited to participating on that popular night TV program before its concert.
@@Laurikiwi very best what? Blues guitar players? No way. Shredders? Please. He is a master of ripping off Eddie Van Halen’s techniques like tapping etc imo. Surfing with Charlie and the Alien.
@@bojangles6444 if only there were more ways a guitar player can be great than blues and shred... Satch influenced a whole generation of guitarists in the way he flirts with shred but never totally descends into it at the cost of musicality. You are right, he is not a shredder like Yngwie or Becker, nor is he a bluesman like BB King, but he has a style which is immediately recognisable, fundamentally musical, and strongly routed in blues. You may not like it, and that is totally fine, but I think he deserves a little more than your sneering. Also, if you think he just rips off Eddie, then you should listen to his stuff with a bit more of an open mind, he is completely different even in the way he plays. You may as well say "Guthrie Govan rips off Eddie VH cos he uses taps".
Exactly! It PICKED UP... because Satriani was dropping the ball doing the rhythm guitar all by himself. 100 percent technical, 0 percent "soul." Only when Joe switched to playing lead guitar did this get good. The band freeing Joe up to do HIS thing.
never doubt the power and synergy of guitarists wearing 2090's sunglasses also it's insane that joe satch thought srv and him wouldn't fit if they played together in mtv unplugged
Fantastic. I loved how they could read each other, even though it's the first time they'd played together. Also like how satch held back and let the band hold the time, usually satch is the conductor
One time I bought a VIP package for a Satch show and part of the package, was 20 minutes just hanging and talking to Satch before a G3 show (Chicago Theater? - 2007? or 8? maybe). I bought these VIP tix for the three of us and the other people with VIP tix had issues with their bus/trans and it ended up being just me, my wife and my son and JS sitting and talking for 20 minutes. No doubt he forgot the conversation in about 10 minutes, whereas I have never forgotten it. I am an average player that was once good and working on great before life interrupted. So I hope that my questions about music and playing were relevant. One thing that stuck out to me was that he was amused that I would listen to the G3 jams panned to one side - he says "Why?" and I say "So I can take my solo's too" (the JS, EJ SV G3 has Joe in the middle and the other GTR's panned left and right). He thought it was great that it became participatory for his fans. Music is such a centering respite that can jack you up- chill you out- feed your creative imagination and JS has always been one of the artists that has done these things for me. JS sometimes gets slammed sometimes as a "technician" - but I think his ability to improvise an "feel" his way is mind-numbingly creative. This video shows the improvisational Joe at his best!
Joe has taught so many famous guitarists. Steve Vai studied under him, it was Steve who told people you have to hear this guy. He taught Kirk Hammet of Metallica and Alex Skolnick of Testment, Larry LaLonde of Primus, Rick Hunolt of Exodus to name a few. He has taught shredders and blues guitarist. Joe is a master at his craft,
What I liked as well was when he stood in for Ritchie Blackmore when he left Purple mid tour in the early 90’s. He was famous himself already and could have easily said no but found it an honour instead.
@@marcelboogaard5449 Ritchie is not a nice person. All band members have said that, he treats fans horribly, he will not acknowledge them. EVH said that the first time he met Ritchie he told him he was a huge fan and Ritchie ignored him. The DIO song Rainbow in the Dark is about him. He gave us some amazing music but is a notorious prick.
Just as a heads up, Tomate 🍅, the band's guitarist, said early on that interview that Stach was a great influence for him in guitar playing. So, it must have been a great moment for him!
Assisti a esse programa, que saudades desse tempo ! Ficava acordado até tarde pra ver o programa do Jô e dar risada das gargalhadas do Bira. Ainda bem que existe o youtube pra eu rever tudo isso 20 anos depois !
What I like about Joe is that he always stayed true to the roots while expanding. I like Steve Vai, but Joe's style, to me, is so much better. He's just so incredibly easy to listen to.
Joe doesn't overplay it and keeps the essence of blues with a few note selection, imagine Michael batio.. 100notes per minute. Sometimes you need to breathe a little :)
depechex I’m not a youtuber and I could upload a video but i’m not going to do it just to prove it to you... Joe is just playing very simple blues licks that’s all. Play and learn the guitar and then you could have an opinion. It may sound and look impressive but it’s not... doesn’t mean is bad tho.
This is one of the most incongruous videos I've ever seen, and in a good way! A famous New York shredder guitarist playing a very standard blues progression for a Brazilian guy who looks like a "confused owl" mascot in the kids section of the library.
@Alysson fatboy o Sr Bira faleceu dia 22 de Dezembro de 2019, devido a AVC, popularmente conhecido como "derrame cerebral". Assim soubemos pelas notícias.
I always loved "Programa do Jô" because he got all the worlds best artist visiting Brazil on his show it seems. And artists love to do things in Brazil they normally wouldn't do like on American TV because Jô Soares would give them 1/2 hour on his show and not just 8 minutes. Brazilian musicians are so great and they show that in this clip. You know Joe was loving it!
100% totally agree with this statement. Satriani truly does out class the majority of guitar playing world with his subtle yet extreme technical ability. Proof you don't have to play 100 notes per second to be amazing
I'll have to disagree. He's 100% a shredder and doesn't have the tone or feel to do much else imho. I've heard much better blues solos at local jams. Also, that's still a shitload of notes for a blues
@@cyrnoz1803 You're nuts. Satch is known for his bluesy style going back to the 80's. He was going easy on them here anyways. And I'm sure if you put him in front of a boutique style blues amp, he will tear it up.
@@davejohnsonmusic Still a shredder to me, putting a blues lick between your two hand tapping arpegio sweeps.doesn't make you a blues player. I like Joe's stuff, i think he is a great composer, just not for this stuff
@@cyrnoz1803 Blues is the foundation of rock music. Most rock guitarists incorporate blues phrases and feel into their playing. Are they "true" blues players? Maybe not, but it's still a form of blues. Gary Moore was a rock shredder, but no one can deny that he had the blues.
Joe is absolutely PHENOMINAL. What a talent!!! It is near impossible to match, or exceed, this man when it comes to guitar wizardry. It's perfect...every, single time! My Goodness❤!!! Spot on, and powerful, yet crystal clear. If you've seen Joe "live", then I think you know👍🙏.
I just loved how when it cut to the guitarist in the band he was wearing even crazier sunglasses than Joe!

The problem I have with this is that it ended.
Yep, absolute bummer :-( ;-)
Best part starts from 00:00
That’s the beautiful thing about music is it brings people together. No one was told to join in and the audience even contributed to the whole experience and brought smiles to everyone
That’s the great thing about 12 bar blues. It’s a universal form so it’s easy to jam with other musicians even if you have never met them before or had a single rehearsal. Great job by the band and Joe… well that’s just Satch doing what Satch does!
Way too often blues just means repetitive pentatonic licks..
@@sirspongadoodle yeah and
simplicity is the key
@@Brytons_Thoughts depends on your definition of simplicity..
@@Taylor.Dude. the scale is for people too lazy to learn how to play the guitar.. and dont claim you need "feel" for it.. if you had feel you wouldnt need a scale..
@@sirspongadoodle wat.. all the licks you ever play are assembled using some kind of scale. If you can’t make your own licks up by combining existing ones and using a scale you are an incompetent Guitarist
His guitar is brighter than my future.
Anything is
His head too
Never doubt yourself or your capabilities man. Get practicing

lol............
Big credit for the playing and even more so that he openly had fun doing it.
Joe where J stands for Joy! Always a treat to hear and watch him play with that mischievous grin when he unfolds his wicked bag of guitar tricks! Thanks a million for the video, it made my day!
The guitarists dispute is between who has the biggest glasses
Yes
You gotta respect this show man, Jô Soares, Tomati and Joe Satriani are legends
Saw Joe at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland Oregon, 2009. He made my ears ring all night, his guitar was in my brain all night long and I loved it!!! Gracias!!!
The perfect guitarist! Great Joe! Greetings from Italy! 🎸❤🔥
The house guitarist jumped in at the perfect time. As soon as Joe was started switching from rhythm to lead, dude was on it with the same chords. I think he just really wanted to see Joe flex on everyone so he jumped in as backup.
True, but as a musician, not really that amazing of an accomplishment. It's pretty standard.
@Judge Steve (Head hung low) Yeah, you're right.
@@TangoNevada its actually more of a requirement really..
Never been a fan of Satriani’s but I’ve never heard him play like that. That was awesome!!!
"Always with me, always with you"
is another Satriani instrumental that is super good.
Means you know nothing about Satriani :-)
Then you should download « Surfing With The Alien » right away, mate!
Well if you never listen to someone,.. you never hear their stuff....duh!
@@JohnDoe-ds6pr or maybe you dont know how to read a basic comment..
Legend. That tremolo chord section was spot on
"Hi, Chuck. This is Marvin, Marvin Berry. Now listen to this!"
Great Comment :) ... Still my favorite movie.
Great blues! I am a Bass player and after 9 years I have finally found my perfect Band Mates, I am the Blues man, our Drummer toured with the opening band for Testament all across the US, Europe and Brazil, our Rythm man is a Dialysis patient and has nothing better to do than practice and is fantastic and our Lead/Frontman can pull lyrics out of his ass in seconds. We do all our own originals and are constantly writing more music. This coming summer we will be doing 3 mini tours of the Bay area opening for other bands. I am the oldest having just turned 60, never give up on your dreams or your music. Our style is what we like to call Metal Blues.
Very cool man! Life begins again at 60, me too bro...Best wishes...
That's Jo Soares' Show, originally called “Programa do Jô”, in portuguese. This man behind the host table is the person who brought talk shows to Brazil, it really didn't exist here before him. He's a comedian, writer, actor, director and also a musician - but not a journalist btw.
The show was very very funny, always one of the audience leaders in Brazil, with some outstanding guests (Mark Knopfler, Ayrton Senna, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Ednaldo Pereira and many others). However, after almost 30 years of interviews, Jo decided to retire from television in 2016 or 2017 (not sure about the date). We love this guy.
ednaldo pereira was the best guest! such an impressive and genius musician...

Everyone in the bands Resume - Job History - 2001 backed Joe Satriani.
lol.....too true
Satch is always gonna be the only one of that school of guitar virtuosos that I can really get behind. Just seems like a genuinely good guy and all his stuff is musical first and technical show-offery second.
Incredibly brilliant. Lovely music from the great Joe Satriani. This really satisfies my little soul.. 🎄
No one mentioned Joe played blues bc it's the interviewer favorite genre on guitar. What a gentleman too!
Satriani is a legend already, but the band’s guitarist and the other guys really rocked it together! This is what music does to the people :)
Oh my goodness! That was just extraordinary! To be able to jam like that with a bunch of different musicians, is a true gift.
12 bar blues. Once you know what key it is in you can play all day.
@@watnoudan, no I couldn't.
@@musiclover9361 I think he meant that you'd be able to jam with different musicians over a simple blues progression. Not necessarily play like Satriani
Everybody had that one guy in high school who had insane guitar skills and now looks exactly like this guy.
..and he is probably a lawyer to make a living. burried dreams and annoying wife for whom one discovers she s not a person he s imagined she was, back then.
Yes a lot of men go bald ! 10 out of 10 for observation ! Also this guy has influenced a lot of musicians mainly guitarists who are mostly blokes . . . Do the math dude !
@@thefog7067Bro I like Satriani, but it's not the fact that he's bald... you've got to admit he's dressed like a goofball here. He's wearing shiny plastic pants, let that sink in for a sec.
Nunca um estilo musical terá tantos músicos virtuosos como o Blues 💙.
Joe Satriani monstruoso. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Nao fez nada demais
Blues sucks.
Rock Progressivo
You know the guy and what he’s capable of but this was refreshing to see, him just letting loose on the blues. Like going back to the roots. Excellent
Exactly
Rock'n Roll is the blues, sprinkle in a little folk and country for flavor.. Joe is Bad ass
He's not letting loose on the blues though, He's just letting loose on an Eric Clapton song he knows. Don't get me wrong, Joe Satriani is a great guitar player, but this entire performance is just an Eric Clapton song.
@@TFOLLT It's a standard blues run and I get your point. But Joe is ripping it apart in this vid
TFOLLT - really??
If you have never seen Joe in concert then you don't know what you are missing. Been listening to him when Surfing with the alien was brand new. He is like a fine wine....gets better with age. Cheers
I saw Joe ('89? ) at the Tupperware in Orlando, Fl.. I had never even heard of him- went with a guitarist boyfriend. He came out and played for 2 hours nonstop....and ourselves were left speechless!! Flying In A Blue Dream !!!
I love the fact the A list backing player joined in just subtle...then the drummer then the crowd wow... and then that look at each other. Only the players know this feeling.
Nothing like a blues standard and a musician that "feels it". Grande Satriani.
Shame that's a muso not feeling it then!
Too bad it sounded like ass
@@Fnberg744 seriously lol
I have seen Joe many times in the U.K. and never ever has be failed to amaze me. A true humble legend
He comes to the UK? I live in the UK now but i was in the bay area (cali), where he is from, in the middle 80's till 2000. I am gonna have to try a little harder to get tickets i guess.
@@suminshizzles6951 yes he toured on his albums and came with the G3 group . He is such an incredible player. I will certainly be seeing him next time he comes. Welcome to the uk . I am in Birmingham. When Joe plays here he is at the NEC centre
IMHPO Joe is by so far the undisputed king of the group of shredders that came out of the '80s. He can actually write a SONG, not just play an exotic scale over a weird set of chord changes in a bizarre time signature at 160 BPM.
"Programa do Jô" no canal Globo. Exibido no final do ano 2000. Me lembro desse dia. Sempre foi minha maior influência.
Joe is both an inspiration and a discouragement.
He inspired me to pick up the guitar; and discouraged me
when I realized I can't even play like him...even just a bit.
Donated my guitars to a band in our neighborhood
sometime in the 90s.
Still listening to Joe! Still the best.
"Perfect" practice makes perfect.
Man you could still have played for your self
lol right ,I’ve been playing since 81 and every time I here joe he dies something amazing I have never heard before !!
A lot of us will never be able to play like him. Some of us started too late in life, have injuries or cant play fast, lack, temporarily, the knowledge. Wont stop me from learning. I have a broken pinky finger that is bent at 45 degrees. I have a hard time with the high E. The breakthough for me was a short scale fender squire mustang. Covid was a blessing in disguise as i not only bought a new guitar but am playing again. I started again after 30 years. It is never too late. I play for the love of the thing. Even if it means i have to learn to play music that others made. I learned how to play the first 7 bars of shine on you crazy diamond this morning in a few hours. You can either wish you could play or you just listen to others play. Your choice. I made my choice. I am playing again. So can you if you want.
You realise that for everything in life, there is a "joe satriani" that does it better than anyone else. Do you just quit life altogether?
Everytime i come back to see this video i wanna give it a like again
blue is how guitarists say hi to each other
Ha!
That's cute
@@ZOMBIELANDakaUSA You really go around every comment thread and say "blues sucks" and then brag about liking classical music? Blues is the rawest, most beautiful thing ever. Nothing compares. I don't even play blues. Look up some blues artists and try to feel something, dude. It is the fact that it's so EASY that it is the most DIFFICULT to make it sound good.
I also recommend listening to where all this pentatonic spam came from, the delta blues.
Well said :)
@@rasmuserlandsson2204 don t waste any effort or time on him ( John D oh ). it s hopeless.
I didn’t know Riddick played the guitar, good for him.
😆😂
That was long before he started bodybuilding
👍😂
ahahahahaha
After the band stopped, you can see Satch utter under his breath "So now it's back to all the brightness, and everything I hate."
That was one of the most important tv hosts in brazil. The Programa do Jo "Jo Tv Show" was incredible, what a great video
Best I’ve ever heard joe play the blues. He was playin with soul.
He always plays with soul :-)
Ihmisen Kuva None of the blues licks he did were insane though, nor do they take much dexterity. It’s just being creative with them.
His entire persona and sound is tacky. And this isn’t bluesy, nor is there much feeling
@@collinmackin5911 the funny thing is, if some has been played exactly this, these armchair experts would have loved it.
Always got to have the smart arses that can't just enjoy and listen, constantly got to try and demean or take away from someone else's playing. I bet if it was SRV up there you would have been creaming your pants saying how good it was.
Guys in the band down the pub later... "Yeah, 'course, I used to play with Joe Satriani... y'know, help him out when he was struggling..." 🤣
Awesome "Programa do Jô" the TV program presented by Jô Soraes in Brazil, thank you for sharing this, amazing!!!
This performance was Recorded live at Jo Soares TV Show in Sao Paulo City. At that time, Mr. Satriani was touring in Brazil and was invited to participating on that popular night TV program before its concert.
Never realized how good Joe Satriani is. It really picked up when the band piece by piece got involved freeing Joe up to do is thing.
That's why it's valuable to play music at ALL skill levels. It lets the veterans shine.
Listen to his back catalouge, he's one of the very best
@@Laurikiwi very best what? Blues guitar players? No way. Shredders? Please. He is a master of ripping off Eddie Van Halen’s techniques like tapping etc imo. Surfing with Charlie and the Alien.
@@bojangles6444 if only there were more ways a guitar player can be great than blues and shred... Satch influenced a whole generation of guitarists in the way he flirts with shred but never totally descends into it at the cost of musicality. You are right, he is not a shredder like Yngwie or Becker, nor is he a bluesman like BB King, but he has a style which is immediately recognisable, fundamentally musical, and strongly routed in blues. You may not like it, and that is totally fine, but I think he deserves a little more than your sneering.
Also, if you think he just rips off Eddie, then you should listen to his stuff with a bit more of an open mind, he is completely different even in the way he plays. You may as well say "Guthrie Govan rips off Eddie VH cos he uses taps".
Exactly! It PICKED UP... because Satriani was dropping the ball doing the rhythm guitar all by himself. 100 percent technical, 0 percent "soul." Only when Joe switched to playing lead guitar did this get good. The band freeing Joe up to do HIS thing.
never doubt the power and synergy of guitarists wearing 2090's sunglasses
also it's insane that joe satch thought srv and him wouldn't fit if they played together in mtv unplugged
This is the mark of a real musician - playing with feel. Love that far mic'd unaffected sound!!! Gimme that any day of the week!
Fantastic. I loved how they could read each other, even though it's the first time they'd played together. Also like how satch held back and let the band hold the time, usually satch is the conductor
I really doubt they haven't rehearsed it even if they don't need it. It's common practice in these shows
@@dirtyharry1881 I mean, it was a traditional blues shuffle
its the sunglasses. they were both wearing sunglasses indoors so their brains were linked
It was a 12-bar blues shuffle. There's no magic involved here.
Loved the guy since his early days in the 80s. Satriani is pure genius - nothing more needs to be said.
Programa do Jõ. Quando ainda se tinha um pouco de cultura na TV Brasileira.
Falou tudo meu xará.
Showw bonito é ver isso numa TV brasileira
Imagine ele ir no Danilo Gentili e fazer uma Jam dessa com o Ultraje a Rigor... Aí sim!
Tive a oportunidade de assistir a esse programa na data em que foi exibido, amazing his feeling!
One of the many facets of Joe Satriani. Beautiful player and a Beautiful Soul. Like the Wise Guru for the right student. God Blesses JS
Host: Nice guitar there. Can you play a ditty?
Joe: *Facemelting shredding for blues enthusiasts*
Instantly brought a smile to my face once the band joined in to accompany and JS really started ripping
One time I bought a VIP package for a Satch show and part of the package, was 20 minutes just hanging and talking to Satch before a G3 show (Chicago Theater? - 2007? or 8? maybe). I bought these VIP tix for the three of us and the other people with VIP tix had issues with their bus/trans and it ended up being just me, my wife and my son and JS sitting and talking for 20 minutes. No doubt he forgot the conversation in about 10 minutes, whereas I have never forgotten it. I am an average player that was once good and working on great before life interrupted. So I hope that my questions about music and playing were relevant. One thing that stuck out to me was that he was amused that I would listen to the G3 jams panned to one side - he says "Why?" and I say "So I can take my solo's too" (the JS, EJ SV G3 has Joe in the middle and the other GTR's panned left and right). He thought it was great that it became participatory for his fans. Music is such a centering respite that can jack you up- chill you out- feed your creative imagination and JS has always been one of the artists that has done these things for me. JS sometimes gets slammed sometimes as a "technician" - but I think his ability to improvise an "feel" his way is mind-numbingly creative. This video shows the improvisational Joe at his best!
The first time I heard Joe play Flying In A Blue Dream I was sold. My kind of player.
Joe has taught so many famous guitarists. Steve Vai studied under him, it was Steve who told people you have to hear this guy. He taught Kirk Hammet of Metallica and Alex Skolnick of Testment, Larry LaLonde of Primus, Rick Hunolt of Exodus to name a few. He has taught shredders and blues guitarist. Joe is a master at his craft,
it goes to show what you can achieve with a great teacher and mentor vs average teacher or subpar one.
@@stefhen71 Joe never taught Tom.
What I liked as well was when he stood in for Ritchie Blackmore when he left Purple mid tour in the early 90’s. He was famous himself already and could have easily said no but found it an honour instead.
@@marcelboogaard5449 Ritchie is not a nice person. All band members have said that, he treats fans horribly, he will not acknowledge them. EVH said that the first time he met Ritchie he told him he was a huge fan and Ritchie ignored him. The DIO song Rainbow in the Dark is about him. He gave us some amazing music but is a notorious prick.
I thinks Kirk Hammett is actually woeful. His solos just sound like a list of techniques. No story. Boring to my ear anyway
Just as a heads up, Tomate 🍅, the band's guitarist, said early on that interview that Stach was a great influence for him in guitar playing. So, it must have been a great moment for him!
Assisti a esse programa, que saudades desse tempo ! Ficava acordado até tarde pra ver o programa do Jô e dar risada das gargalhadas do Bira. Ainda bem que existe o youtube pra eu rever tudo isso 20 anos depois !
What I like about Joe is that he always stayed true to the roots while expanding. I like Steve Vai, but Joe's style, to me, is so much better. He's just so incredibly easy to listen to.
Joe doesn't overplay it and keeps the essence of blues with a few note selection, imagine Michael batio.. 100notes per minute. Sometimes you need to breathe a little :)
Don't forget the small fact that Joe taught Steve Vai. Take that into perspective! Joe was and always will be the man!
@@andrewaavik That's a good point too.
Eu assisti esse dia... !!! Inesquecível... Gravei em fita VHS, emprestei a fita e a dita cuja SUMIU! Gratidão pela postagem do vídeo...
The best part is that it wasn't fake, hes actually that good
Absolutely.
Adam Zeller why would it be fake? this is easy to play lol
Nobody thought it was, but thanks
@@gilrios1405 Show us how easy it is, please. Oh yeah, another guy with zero videos to back up his words.
depechex I’m not a youtuber and I could upload a video but i’m not going to do it just to prove it to you... Joe is just playing very simple blues licks that’s all. Play and learn the guitar and then you could have an opinion. It may sound and look impressive but it’s not... doesn’t mean is bad tho.
His pants: so fast.
His guitar: so fast.
His hands: so fast.
His glasses: the fastest.
Why you looking at his crotch...
This is one of the most incongruous videos I've ever seen, and in a good way!
A famous New York shredder guitarist playing a very standard blues progression for a Brazilian guy who looks like a "confused owl" mascot in the kids section of the library.
Gotta love the blues, it's a very sincere style of playing.
I got goose bumps. That's my body speaking; I can't control that: It either happens or it doesn't.
I’ve been a long term fan of Joe since the late eighties and I’ve met him once and seen him live many times. Top guy and guitarist.
Freaking amazing! I love how restrained Satch is, especially in this performance. Also, he sounds pretty damn authentic playing the blues, IMO.
Seen Joe live twice, he's one of the greatest ever hands down..!
Just an incredible guitarist, very, very well done. The whole house was a rocking, joy to watch.

I always loved "Programa do Jô" because he got all the worlds best artist visiting Brazil on his show it seems. And artists love to do things in Brazil they normally wouldn't do like on American TV because Jô Soares would give them 1/2 hour on his show and not just 8 minutes. Brazilian musicians are so great and they show that in this clip. You know Joe was loving it!
He could go totally nuts on anything he plays but he doesn't. He respects the music and other musicians and that's class.
100% totally agree with this statement. Satriani truly does out class the majority of guitar playing world with his subtle yet extreme technical ability. Proof you don't have to play 100 notes per second to be amazing
I'll have to disagree. He's 100% a shredder and doesn't have the tone or feel to do much else imho.
I've heard much better blues solos at local jams.
Also, that's still a shitload of notes for a blues
@@cyrnoz1803 You're nuts. Satch is known for his bluesy style going back to the 80's. He was going easy on them here anyways. And I'm sure if you put him in front of a boutique style blues amp, he will tear it up.
@@davejohnsonmusic Still a shredder to me, putting a blues lick between your two hand tapping arpegio sweeps.doesn't make you a blues player. I like Joe's stuff, i think he is a great composer, just not for this stuff
@@cyrnoz1803 Blues is the foundation of rock music. Most rock guitarists incorporate blues phrases and feel into their playing. Are they "true" blues players? Maybe not, but it's still a form of blues. Gary Moore was a rock shredder, but no one can deny that he had the blues.
Joe is absolutely PHENOMINAL. What a talent!!! It is near impossible to match, or exceed, this man when it comes to guitar wizardry. It's perfect...every, single time! My Goodness❤!!! Spot on, and powerful, yet crystal clear. If you've seen Joe "live", then I think you know👍🙏.
eh, he’s just okay. nothing special
What a pleasure to see Satriani on brasilian TV Show, greetings from Brazil !
