Had the pleasure to meet him twice, he and Eric Johnson are very down to earth and very humble guys. Thank you maestro!
I would like ta meet em too my favorets ever
very cool
It's so awesome to just see a guitarist who knows what he's doing, just playing around. Nothing prepared. Improvise away.
Knowledge is power! Joe just knows everything about music and that's why he can play anything... Satch rules!
he doesnt play anything though. he plays the same boring stuff that he's played for 40 years.
there's enough material here to keep you going for the next 5 years, or more. Great player
Joe is still the most musical guitar virtuoso there is!
+Gavin Badcock Him and Eric Johnson are the most musical, that's for sure.
+AvyScottandFlower He's a great player for sure. There are quite a few other greats out there though. My personal favorite at the moment has to be Andy Timmons. You might really enjoy his music too
+Gavin Badcock And Guthrie.
Hey thanks for the tip frank!
It only took me a year to notice it but oh well, haha

I like Joe Satriani's idea of focusing around chord suspensions with a solo lick or phrase.
We had front row seats at Kingswood Music Theatre in 1990 and Satch gave me and my friends guitar picks. Mine was pink with the SilverSurfer on one side and Joe Satriani on the other side,
I dont play guitar for almost 10 years..but it still interesting when joe satriani explaining guitar theory..his explanation its so natural and easy to catch..im not surprised why he have a lot of great student
one dislike???? who is that? lil wayne?
+szabo valentin 27 dislikes now must lilwayne and all his fans lol
50 now. Probably electro-pussy and pop-dick listeners xD
szabo valentin nows there's 62 dislikes, Lil Wayne made 61 more accounts to dislike this
Coldplay
szabo valentin it's Ritchie Blackmore 😂😂
I wish Coldplay would stop disliking Joe's videos.
Chris Martin is a fan of Satriani
It doesn't give him the right to plagiarise 'If I Could Fly'.
+satchfan2010 Part of the verse of Viva La Vida is similar to part of the chorus of If I Could Fly. This doesn't mean the whole song is plagiarized. Furthermore, the matter has been settled in court.
Did you know Joe filed a lawsuit against Coldplay, for plagiarism?
+satchfan2010 Yes, and that's why I mentioned the fact that the matter has been settled in court.
Joe is a good guy and a hard worker,,,
He is what you call a "journeyman" a master of his craft
Listen ,watch and you will learn alot
Thank you Mr Satriani
journeyman is not a master, it ranks below master.
I saw the blues he played on some talk show. Wowser he's good at that. Never seen Joe play so few notes before.
Cool lesson! No wonder he is one of the greats!
"That's so normal to me..." yeah but just made my head spin lol
Awesome video and thanks for sharing your tips 👍
Hey Joe feel free to put out more Videos when you have the time.
“Chords are made up of notes and those notes are suggestions”
Beautiful way of saying it.
This video is the #1 reason why any musician should take a music theory class 👌👌
Hard to believe The Satch turns 60 years old this July!!!!!!
I saw him live twice in the early 90s in Boston what a fucking great musician !
i was just so mesmerized by his playing that i forgot it was a lesson
Lesson from Greg Howe and Victor Wooten, you can play outside notes as much as you want, as long as it rhytmically strong and land on the right note. But it will be different style of music, mostly funky, and will not work in the ballad or melodic type of song like Always with me Always with you or Flying in a Blue Dream, which is Joe Satriani is the best at doing it. But for song like Satch Boogie, you can actually do more experiment on outside notes.
This was sick. Just amazing.
hilarious! you are easily amused.
Satriani mito dos mito
We love you joe satriani
One of the best fusion,shred..all around guitar player....ever
Jazz is way more rock n roll than rock n roll... always has been.. It's the creepy autistic grandpa of rock
I love Satch as a player. But as a teacher, dude, you better know music, as in *know music*! There's so much information that he's teaching and I can get lost on what he's showing (and telling).
+kigawman I think it's pretty well assumed that going into this video you already know your chords and modes inside and out. Any teacher can show you a minor or major scale, but many can't or won't show you how actually apply them. What Satch is doing is forcing you to think creatively about what your playing. He's not really teaching any specific riff or lick in this video, the purpose here is how he shows his thought his thought process in which he improvises to help YOU find what you want to improvise and play, and what feels natural to you. That's the best lesson there is and that's what he's brilliant at.
BigMateo24
Helpful to YOU if you know what you are doing. *BUT*, to a beginner or intermediate, still, you need to know music. YOU can't think creatively w/o any background of some sort of learning music. It doesn't matter whether Satch can teach you that or not. If you don't understand what he's teaching, he's probably giving you lip service for nothing! In the case of music, I stand by my comment, *you have to know music*.
Its like driving a car without learning HOW to drive.
+kigawman So go learn some theory, and then you'll know exactly what he's talking about.
BigMateo24
Am I talking for only myself or I'm also talking on behalf of those ppl. who may not know a lot about theory? Keep in mind, there are others, not only egocentric/cocky dudes, who think just b/c they know something, are watching this video. Word of advice: Try to be more encouraging to others, not just only thinking of YOURSELF!
Juan2003gtr
Am I asking you to lower the bar?
Like I was talking to someone else, cocky imbeciles who think just b/c they know something feel they are entitled to put down others that are not technically inclined will say stupid things without thinking first. It just shows you so-called experts should not be typing text here to discourage others about learning technique first before learning the harder stuff.
Who owns a Joe Satriani model guitar here? I remember reading that Joe wanted them acoustically dead so that he had complete control over the sound through his electronic effects with no other variables. I'm curious what playing an acoustically dead guitar is like. Anyone who responds, hopefully you've owned something like a good Telecaster or an SG to compare it to. I've never played a high-end Ibanez. I've only tried an S-series with a blade-thin body and poplar top, which I surprisingly hated. The only other "super strat" style Ibanez guitar I played was a Jem Jr. which felt and sounded amazing! I guess it was well set-up. It just felt tight and perfect. so responsive. I can only imagine how great a real Jem would be.
i have 3
@@XxdartvaderxX and why would you think I care to know that information? (I'll give you a hint: it's in the third sentence of the comment you replied to).
Master of masters!!
Moral of the story: if you fuck up, roll with it.
just noticed he's sound comes really from his fingers. he seems to pick pretty hard and really close to the string and even at that giving nuances to notes. nice blues feel.
Its great Satch talks only intervalically when taking about the notes.
Good word man, thanks. I shall begin speaking so.
its so funny when someone says, theory is unnecessary ;)
+Patryk Siewiera depends on your goal. Theory is not NECESSARY per say... but... you'll never be able to hang with THIS kind of music without it. You can jam blues and straight 3 chord rock without theory and be great. But if you want to do more advanced and complex music like Satch, or Vai, or Dream Theater or AX7, or jazz, or whatever... then yes, theory is very necessary
+Patryk Siewiera satriany actually said that rock is more about vibe not that exploring every other thing .so he give the idea of theory in rock music
Look up gypsy jazz players. "GYPSY" meaning they didn't go to school, and they use more theory in melodic way than any of the schooled guys. Theory is necessary if you listen to rock and blues your whole life and you want different sound. But if you have been exposed to complex music and sounds like classical and jazz since young age you will be able to pick up everything by ear just like Stochelo Rosenberg, Django Reinhardt, and Bireli Lagrene for example. :P
It really wasn’t in rock n roll until the late 70s and 80s thanks to guys like satch, yngwie, vai that forced the mainstream guys to complete with them.
It's not
love the info...which goes along with Record Everything, then hope that you can RE-create that Magic Moment when you listen back DAYS or even MONTHS later! Your time is expensive, thank you for a major chunk of it...thanx again! 56 dislikes:::: the world has gone STUPID!
where can I get that leather jacket ? :D
Can anyone help me? At 7:50 Joe does this Billy Gibons toggling that I'm am having trouble with on La grange... I think it's all right hand, But it's messing with me....
(Sweet,by putting 7:45 in the comment I can just click there instead of rewinding)
He loves the major and minor scale! Very proficient in both. They free you much more than pentatonics.
He is a master!
Ignore the band! Make sure your solo evokes dischord! Solo in c minor while the band is in e minor! Oh the horror! heh heh!
I know very little about music theory but i can still understand how it is to be able to play a certain styles i have never played before just because i have played for a good amount of time.
his demeanor at 4:28 just made me crack the fuck up after he literally just schooled you in so many fucking modes. everyone, seriously he just gave you homework for a very long time lol
Good flamenco solo in 3:20 great
"If you're feeling it' you might as well try it"
Hey dude Joe !! I love your music i play the guitar and i wish one day i will reach your level ! I’m so ambitious that i play 5 hours every day at the moment but hardly making any progress
I have endless respect for Satch, one of my hero’s…but In reference to Joe’s opening monologue _(so-to-speak)_ I believe it can be looked at how he explains, or you can take for example a player like _Stevie Ray Vaughan_ where, the notes he *DOESN’T* play, share a role of equal importance to the notes he *DOES* play….
Figure 1... really? :D
+Simon de rycke i feel bad for the guy that had to tab that
Wow, figure 1, went back and watched because of your comment...Joe is just like here is figure one... 2:10....
your my hero joe
i don't like his music and i'm not his biggest fan as a person, but being one of his students is a dream and great honour for anyone really. Listening to guys like Ler that used to be his students you always think - fuck yeah.
Go, Joe!
Listen the whole tune to hear the solo n Journey In Time but also listen to Greys Mountain, Winter and Mountain Dreams.
Lead guitar is cool but just one little piece of the pie.
Steve Zook
Hes like the opposite of Samson from the Bible, his lack of hair gives him power. 😂😂
😂
To Joe in person no soul in between, if I had to set aside all I play and know and start over again. What would you draw as line to shaping this artist.
If it happened that this message is read, laugh at it and throw the audience a video or some series to sculpt those notes.
I thank you.
what's the song name at the intro of the video???
''If There Is No Heaven'', It is off of the new album Shockwave Supernova.
Gracias MAESTRO!
2:00 was that the fortnite default dance theme???
He just taught all of music theory in one video. \m/ 😎
Cool vid!
if you hit a dissonant note, and it sounds good---keep it!
Nice.
this guy right here just absolutely fucking gets me ×D
What the hell... That figure 1 solo!!!
You are AWesome
Thanks Jo cool
A fucking legend he is
Satriani
His noodling could be an album and people would still buy it.
perdy cool stuff joe. ..
Joe has infinite resources on his alien brain. Awesome !
Lydian minor anyone? I know of 2..... plus my own version that. Works over min7. Just curious exactly what he means by Lydian minor. He might be talking about Lydian diminished. Mode 4 of harmonic major.
What is the songs name played at the very beginning?
Aditya Dabholkar darude - sandstorm
krutoyinfo yea done?
i see Guthrie technique here and he said he had influence from the jazz music that he grew up with..
what's the song at the beginning?
Great one lesson here ... But if i want to contact him how do i do ? I want to have a lesson with this god of music melodies
:-) How to contact ?
Thanks Joe. I use guitar for therapy for cerebral palsy.
The best
Please, Could you do one video of how to play the theme musical named: if you could fly , that is yours !!.
Thanks a lot for atention pressed !!
Best regards "

My brain guitar eternity🙏🇺🇸
Hola: 16 - 9 - 2016 control
PALMA DE MALLORCA
I feel like I'm doing an actual 1-1 lesson with satch when I watch these.
He's been teaching people forever, maybe thats why
@@Marco81blues yep. Still my favorite guitar player to this day.
Are you just alternating between pentatonic scales down the neck?
"Back in those days."
When you had hair. Lmfao!
Guitar Mad Man......
I'm at about new York dolls level but I'm dipping in to led zeppelin. I all ways thought I'd stick with rythym now I'm playing minor pentatonic lead. if I can do it anybody can. you have encourage me to go farther 👽
So Joe got locked in the basement of Guitar world too just like Satchel. Haha
+work1907 these two need to collaborate soon
Joe also handled Spinal Tap guys before, he'll be alright with Satchel.
what's the name of the intro song?
giova90metal darude - sandstorm
uhm, i don't think is the right song, i think is a Satriani's song
giova90metal if there is no heaven
thank you!
whats the song in the openning???
Darude - Sandstorm
+ChaRudatTa MuNdE Yeah, they used someone else's song as an intro for a Joe video. Idiot.
The actual song from the intro is called "If There Is No Heaven" from his latest album, Shockwave Supernova.
Sarude - dandstorm
The Satch approach is a whole different philosophy.
goddamn genius
I'm a huge satriani fan. He's amazing. But he's no genius
+William Lynch naw. Just someone who's musically talented and has practiced a lot and continues to practice.
2:13 *Oh fuck it. I'll just play*
Enjoy. Have fun, damn you all :)
What guitar is that?
what neck pickup is that?? not a dimarzio
tapilaha It's a Sustainiac
.."yeah stuff like that"..ok Joe, if you say so
What does Satriani know about guitar solo anyway?
WTF is Phrygian dominant?
The coolest scale ever !
5th mode of harmonic minor. Aka phrygian major. Basically phrygian with a major 3rd. Then the root chord of the scale becomes a dominant chord.
Scale degrees phrygian dom:
1 b2 3 4 5 b6 b7
What if like to know is what Lydian minor he's talking. About. I know of 2 and have my own because I wasn't happy with Lydian minor actually being minor to use over a min7 chord.
... Their creative perspective of how they mentally think when creating something such as a solo.
Fuck it I'm gonna memorize the god damn fretboard
ah yes, the 80's cop show guitar lesson
Worked as a guitar tech for a band that was touring with joe. He actually gave me some impromptu instruction, dude is actually as cool as he seems. The only problem was trying to remember what he had taught me through the cloud of High Grade bud he was smoking with me. Not to mention all the freebasing we were doing, which hallucinations soon followed. Oh well, I shit my pants because of all the cocaine smoking, gained a new nickname "skidz" and became the best guitarist of all time past and present. The horrible cocaine freebase habit I know have pretty much ruin it though. Oh well guess ill play steve vai's entire catalog, just as soon as I freebase a little, well a shitload more cocaine
And look where playing all those other notes have got ya now.....locked in the basement of Guitarworld lol ....rock on Joe 🎸😎👍
