Minus Previous as we learned in the 80s,music and looks dont have a thing to do with each other. The best guitar players were always the oddest looking guy in their band. If the guitarist isn't the weirdest looking dude in the band,they are probably not going to be legendary 20 years later.
One of the very few musicians who doesn't act like a dick, has a tremendous amount knowledge, knows the roots of rock n roll and respects his profession. Love you Satch!
he is a music genius, he completely understands music as a whole and breaks it down as much as he can, i know because i understand music just as he is trying to say but its hard to explain a color to a blind man ya know, but he is a genius who knows and totally understand the back bone of music.
***** I also met him once. I was at a meet and greet and he is such a cool dude. I had switched the pickups on my JS1200 and he was really intrigued by it, so he startet explaining why he had chosen the the tone wood he had (which was chosen, because he felt like he could put whatever pickup in it and the wood would allow them to "open up" and show character). And he asked me why i had chosen the ones i had and what sound i was going for etc.. But the best part was him playing it!! That blew my mind lol. I felt like i should have framed it and bought a new lol!. It was really awesome to meet the guy that made me want to start when i was 12-13.
I'll tell what NOT TO do. Don't ask for the guitar. Let him play. Don't say "Let me show you what i can do" What to do: Smile and say "more, come on more" like if you are really enjoying it. People will love it. It's like Faking an orgasm for girls you know, we feel sexy hahaha
Or you know, give a genuine answer to what you're listening to. Stay positive. It was always awesome, even when I know I sounded shitty, when someone took the time to compliment even one thing I was doing good amidst all the things you heard me doing poorly. It means a lot to an aspiring guitarist, especially one that's dedicated.
Teaching my grand daughter ( 8 years old ) how to play guitar. It's a struggle for both of us, but as long as she keeps interest, I'll get her there. Her main interest ?? She wants to be able to play Blues. Now how damned cool is THAT ?!!!
+ReneeNme at 8 years old huh? that's like trying to teach an 8 month old how to crap in the bowl instead of his or her diaper. guitar is much harder than say, "piano" to learn at that tender young age. you don't see 8 year olds playing Van Halen's "Eruption", but you see 7 year olds playing " Flight Of The Bumble Bee " precisely on a piano!?!? guitar is crazy complicated vs. piano for an 8 year old, even blues. don't waste too much time teaching your little grandbaby guitar. they have to pick that instrument up on their own when their much older. let her noodle with that instrument for 5 minutes, but after that, get her the hell away from that instrument.......and put her on a swing at the local playground!!
+Puertecitos68 You clearly have not seen any videos of youtuber "Tina S" [I don't know her full name]. She started playing quite young, and you can find videos of her playing guitar when she was around eight or ten. Same goes for the famous guitarist Sungha Jung. He started playing at a very young age. Sure, guitar may be crazy complicated, but everything comes with practice :) don't just dismiss someone's ideas.

Keep it up, if she's enjoying it she'll pick up new stuff much quicker than you or I will (the little show offs). I managed to get my daughter to start playing last year at 8, and she doesn't have much trouble picking up chord shapes and strumming patterns. Maybe it's a wee bit early for Satriani though ;)
When this guy says something feels alien to him ("to be stuck with quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes") you should believe him, after all...HE SURFS WITH THE ALIENS!
Everytime I watch a video with Joe Satriani in it, it makes me want to practice all day everyday and learn everything about music theory there is to learn and be a musical genius.....but it never happens.
I remember many years ago (it was either the blue dream or extremist tour) I managed to sneak around the back of the Hammersmith odeon, London and get on to the stage to watch Satriani, Stu Hamm and Jonathan Mover soundcheck. He was just like you see here, awesome player but humble, nice guy.
Every time I hear him talk music or see him play, it's a revelation. I always learn something. BTW, Check out his "Live in Montreal" concert dvd. I think it's his best video footage yet. Sometimes, I take the sounds he makes for granted, but to see him do it live,,, it's amazing.
This man rite here along with,hamett,and Vai are the reason I picked up a guitar 20 yrs ago,and dammit IMA never look bk. So Thank u Joe satriani, Kirk Hammett,and Steve Vai!!! U showed me the real road in life.
I was just listening to Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons." When I got to 'Winter' I realized this would be PERFECT for Joe to play - all the fast violin solos, etc. He has the skill. He should be backed NOT by an orchestra (it's always lame when hard rock/metal acts play with orchestra backing), but by his band members. With the creativity Joe displayed in his first e.p., and all of his pedals, he could pull it off. "Satriani Plays Vivaldi" - why not? If I had money, I'd sponsor it.
I've heard others talk about how Clapton and other blues greats always bend the "third"... Tim Pierce, Papa Stache, etc. And now Joe. SO much helpful knowledge and insight was presented in this short little video that I'm stunned. Seriously, one of the best blues lead instructing videos I've seen. And I've watched hundreds of them! Thank you for uploading this!!
listening to this, I think of victor wooten and his bass teaching. he's got a real handle on the elements of expression, I think he explains what satriani is getting at, but he's got great ways of getting people to get it. his book (the music lesson) is also great. love joe, love expressive, emotional playing.
Spent the evening watching fast guitar players; Satch is definitely more of an artist than a "guitar athlete" trying to cram as many notes as possible in a bar...
stanley Kubrick That was never my point. When InfinityDz brought up "Guitar athlete who cram as many notes as possible" I instantly thought of Malmsteen.
To make room for 24 frets means you have to move the neck pickup. Then it cant cancel out the 2nd octave harmonics on the open strings (and many other harmonics). Thus it will not have that warm and smooth sound you want from a neck pickup.
@Engh0510 It has too do with the bending up and down and it both returns to the note. Yes you can take it a third from the major scale or minor, and can even transposition to the flatted fifth note I believe. Best too use your ears....
Joes hair migrated to his arms to be closer to the music.
thats gold man. hilarious...
Maybe a goatee would benefit his look. The full bald looks too Mr.Clean
+Minus Previous
You like your men a bit hairy huh?
he looks like he has leukaemia

+sundaresan Narayan He guided the roots of Rock and Roll, in a very humble and intelligent way
50's Rock n Roll? Or???
I think he`s not rock n roll, in fact he`s a pussy, but a great musician.
@@MTST-vj6xe why is he a pussy?
He doesn't even lift weighs! What a pus
Jk I have no idea why he's a pus
This man reeks of humility. Thanks for the upload.
One of the greatest ever. This man is a genius. In addition, he is a very nice guy. Satriani seens to be very humble, despite his importance.
he is a music genius, he completely understands music as a whole and breaks it down as much as he can, i know because i understand music just as he is trying to say but its hard to explain a color to a blind man ya know, but he is a genius who knows and totally understand the back bone of music.
met him once. NICEST guy. great player and supportive
I bet he is. Try meeting Ted Nugent. Arrogant as all hell. Ive never met him, but I personally know people who have. I would love to meet Joe.
Cool Wil. Yeah, Nugent is a wildcard, I guess, but Joe is really kind. Cheers
I'd love to meet Joe, seeing him in November and hoping to win meet n greets. Met Zakk Wylde once, nicest guy ever
Yeah, most players I've met Van Halen, Paul Gilbert, George Lynch, Rob Marchello, Satriani, etc. All nice people. Cool, thanx for sharing here.

I never know what to do when people stare directly at me while they're playing. ;)
+PitchfeverAcademy Just smile at them and keep on Rockin Bro !!
just look at the guitar?
Lol, me neither, I have this friend, that's weird, like they stare into your very soul...
I'll tell what NOT TO do.
Don't ask for the guitar. Let him play. Don't say "Let me show you what i can do"
What to do:
Smile and say "more, come on more" like if you are really enjoying it. People will love it. It's like Faking an orgasm for girls you know, we feel sexy hahaha

satriani makes the simple pentatonic scale alive with his melodic style.
He can really play the blues. That takes heart :)

I see no grey at all.
voldermort
we're lucky to have youtube as a resource to bring all these players' techniques
to our attention. Such valuable insight and wisdom from the man...
Damn, that Ibanez looks like its made of mercury!
Everytime I watch a video with Joe Satriani in it, it makes me want to practice all day everyday and learn everything about music theory there is to learn and be a musical genius.....but it never happens.
good evening 47, your next assignment is to go on stage and shred it like a boss, your signature ibanez is at your disposal. good luck 47
BFFs Engineer That's my favorite comment of the month 👌
lol I read it in Diana's voice.
Hahahahahaha....! Gold comment.
Joe always has so many subtleties to his playing. My favorite guitarist by far!
I remember many years ago (it was either the blue dream or extremist tour) I managed to sneak around the back of the Hammersmith odeon, London and get on to the stage to watch Satriani, Stu Hamm and Jonathan Mover soundcheck. He was just like you see here, awesome player but humble, nice guy.
Great words of wisdom from Professor Satriani.
Every time I hear him talk music or see him play, it's a revelation. I always learn something.
BTW, Check out his "Live in Montreal" concert dvd. I think it's his best video footage yet. Sometimes, I take the sounds he makes for granted, but to see him do it live,,, it's amazing.
he is phenomenal, in every aspect of music!!!!!
Seems like a really nice dude and monster guitarist.
he actually is...
Love Joe.. Thanks for the upload.

Hes so awesome!
Totally dig the Palmer Speaker Simulators in the background being used. Awesome tone!
i love the finish on his guitar, its so slick.
Joe is a special guitarist. Gifted performer AND teacher. Not many people can do both at a high level.
My dream guitar!
I LOVE that chrome finish...man, that is sweet.
Joe is such a nice guy.... damn it... just listened to his music always makes me happy
Great Lesson
beautiful guitar
Now that's perfection
Great lesson.
Look his head man, he is a machine of creations! he is the best. out of this world!!!!
okay, im 20 years old now, and this guy has probably put more hours into the guitar than i have been alive!!!! What an awesome player!
Now you are 31.😃
that was good tip I love your solo thank for the lesson
Such a great teach...he's got it all....
the best guitar mentor!!
this is good advice, it is quite hard to break out of soloing habits
I love the finish on that guitar.

As a guitar player i totally appreciate the armless office chair!
I REALLY like this guy
awesome!!!
GENIUS!!!!!
Cant get my eyes of his head, thats soo roounnd ! :D
Great video.
Wow....just wow....
Dude. That guitar is sick.
Satriani knows music physics:)
I guess you could say he knows "STRING THEORY" :DDD
that is an awesome looking guitar
Joe Rocks!!!
A true master of his craft ...
Thank you. That was very well said.
I've heard others talk about how Clapton and other blues greats always bend the "third"... Tim Pierce, Papa Stache, etc. And now Joe.
SO much helpful knowledge and insight was presented in this short little video that I'm stunned.
Seriously, one of the best blues lead instructing videos I've seen. And I've watched hundreds of them!
Thank you for uploading this!!
That guitar sounds just like it looks 🤘
i so want a js10th!, played a js1000 before and that was awesome!
A true master..
Satriani RULES!!! \m/ The Master Of Melody!
Killer thanks for this
I know! I couldn't stop looking at it.
joe is the best, great headphone music to listen while you ride your mtn bike, jog, lift weights, etc, etc!!!
He would make such a good crazy and mad Villain in a movie.
Look at him. As a film lover I approve.
sweet guitar..
Merci Joe ;)
EVERY GUITARIST MUST WATCH THIS
i always listen to joe.. vai etc when i shred on my mtb :-)
listening to this, I think of victor wooten and his bass teaching. he's got a real handle on the elements of expression, I think he explains what satriani is getting at, but he's got great ways of getting people to get it.
his book (the music lesson) is also great.
love joe,
love expressive, emotional playing.
That guitar is a metaphor for his playing.
Genius!
Love you Love you Love you Love you Joe your the greatest ever .!!!!!!!
☺😍😅😁👽❤💘👍👌💑💝🎸
Damn! He can play really well....wish I could more...
He is so shy and calm *.*
Blue feel and tech music know how~the man is dangerous. Thanks to Joe now I get all the chicks!
The maestro is still alive
Master and Commander!!!! Joe Second To None....\m/
thank you
effortless!
thanks for the info, Now i understand.
It would be fun to jam with Joe!
Holy shit ur guitar is fucking awesome!!!!
It's a js100 in better lighting it's chrome. Worth 4k
jack dalisa It's not a js100. It's a JS10th. Lucky I own one. :-)
laloosh2000 it could be his js2
jack dalisa It doesn't look like his js2. The guitar looks in perfect condition. And it's definitely not a JS100. The JS100 is a low budget-serie.
i know js100 must of been a typo.
Spent the evening watching fast guitar players; Satch is definitely more of an artist than a "guitar athlete" trying to cram as many notes as possible in a bar...
* cough cough* Yngwie Malmsteen *cough*
+Fire Marshall Bill dude, heard of something like feel?
stanley Kubrick That was never my point. When InfinityDz brought up "Guitar athlete who cram as many notes as possible" I instantly thought of Malmsteen.
Putting 2 Head Amp like that just like a boss! SATRIANI FTW!
i have never seen him with out his rap arounds! :O
magic
I would marry that guitar.
Surfing with the alien. What an album.
He gets a bluesy sound out of an ibanez really well
Me gusta!
It's amazing he tell all his secret..
es mi idolo
He is not just a great guitarrist, looks like he is also a great person.
Wish i could play like that
