Joe is certainely one of the coolest guy I've ever seen out there. So humble, talented and passionate by the music, he's just amazing in every way.

there is no MATCH FOR SATCH!!!! HE IS ULTIMATE

Joe Satriani: incredible, talented, creative, humble. Happy that met him personally... you always recognize his music style!! And year by year, I love to see he has more and more to tell us and never expires musically.

Met him just once - a very humble guy which is the sign of great artists.

Joe is truly a nice guy, great musician and guitarist.

I feel bad for joe seeing that his mother passed around the same time he was recording this album. with all of that sadness im amazed that he could pull together black swans and wormhole wizards. One of the songs was dedicated to her I believe..... Joe I feel for you brother....

Such a cool and down to earth dude, always stay humble! :)

That guitar is stunning!!! I want one!

Iam really getting into music and its nice to know that most of greatest guitarist do there things by themselves

joe

funny, if you are going to do an interview that's great. but to see him on a video for 7 minutes holding a guitar that he isn't ripping into is torture!!

Love Joe and I Love this... 5 Rockits to Satriani from johnnyrockit ! ! ! ! !

The button in the bottom of the page really works... nice!

Always a nice guy....

i love you joe...............

I giggled at the title...

what are those monitors he is using? HUGE! love em... also what version of mbox is he using? some kind of protools on top of the desk, 3 stacked on the desk?

Quite cool to see Joe use Apogee

awesome!!! Ibanez js 1200!!!!

GODSPEED

I would pay millions just to get lessons off this legend v_v

Does anybody know what that tiny little switch is below the tone nob? There's the pick-up selector below and in between them but there's another tiny little liver switch just below the tone nob. Ideas?

@Ningirsutyr It's a Sustainiac Pro pickup

@achemachew its not a floyd rose per say, but ibanezes version of it.

@TrippyTro that's because It's a Floyd Rose! a fantastic bridge that provides much sustain and vibrato!

@RobinAngelini On guitarworld site ... As explained in the description.

Seen him yesterda at the concert, the bass player and drummer from the aristocrats are animals !! :D

@Shadow07Warrior1989 the switch is for the sustainer [neck pickup driver coil] it creates infinate sustain, check out some youtube vids for more on sustainer guitars

Part 2! Nao!!

satch the new guitars are cool i'am simple gte my studio back together and playing again hate not having the availibillity to play record and wrtite

@dimeowns100 Yes he did. Check out Strange Beautiful Music - his album from 2002, I believe. You can also check out "Searching" - a song from "Is There Love In Space" album.

I am not afraid of saying his name, HE HAS RETURNED! LORD VOLDEMORT!

Even the album is called : "Black Swans and Wormhole WIZARDS"

which Marshall rack unit is that?

what pickup is that one on the neck??? someone knows??

He's cute even with no hair love his music love him he's a guitar legend a fan for life.!!!!! ♥😊😁😀☺👍👉💓👈👉🎸👈😎👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@RobinAngelini read the description ;) --> This lesson continues only at guitarworld ´com

it changes the pickup from normal to sustainer

@mikefont69 That's not the one made by Fernandes, right?

@UltimateDud I didnt say anything about how that specific incident effected/impacted the emotional aspect of his playing on this album......... Satch puts in all of the emotion he can give in all of his songs since his first album; why should this be any different? If so, it should have more of a sad undertone to it with more emotion in his playing because of what happened. Re-read the comment. I said that im amazed that he could pull this album together despite his tremendous loss.

Is that a Lace pickup on the neck position of his guitar? I thought that he's using DiMarzios :/

Agreed

@Ningirsuty No, it is not a Fernandez, look up sustaniac . com

He's so damn humble. If I could play the guitar like him, I'd be a pretentious jerk-off :)

I googled "In deep with Pamela Anderson " got a completely different video

Is that a Eleven Rack (11R) i see on the bottom left of Joe's cabinet?? :DDD

@danbenkert oh ok, in that case yes! I wish there was more video of him acually teaching rather than PR. Yep he plays with marshall JVM series 410 I think but tweaked and modded so can we really call it a marshall JVM? who knows but i seen him play 3 times in the UK the last was thye wormhole wizzard tour and he was using marshall and it sounded just as good. Keep up the playing dude.

@a1works00 That's a mac pro dude.

@AcousticBeaver Omg i though so too!

Hey he has a Sustainiac now!

Holy crap! It's Valdemort!!!

I didn’t know that Uncle Fester was so good with the guitar.

@TrippyTro Yeah, close enough!

@88fanforlife yes dude for sure

Nice! Thanks. Sorry about making you prove it but I'm a pretty skeptical person and I question everything that is said to me out of habit. Most people I talk to I can tell don't know what they are talking about so I always ask if they can prove what they say, and most of them can't.

What's that neck pickup? A new experimental one?

thats a huge bridge for a guitar

@RobinAngelini "This lesson continues only at guitarworld. com"

@dimeowns100 not in recording, but Vai did

@Shadow07Warrior1989 mostly likely a coil split.

@ashzombie13 that is a mac pro ... but with an LG monitor !!!! odd

@AcousticBeaver i was going to say oh no voldemort is back

somebody made that t-shirt specially for him :D

@jemjoesatch Yeah man I have found some incredible patches thru my Line6PODXt. Im shocked how accurate the patches are peple make and I simply download the patch and man is it spot on. And one of my guitars a Parker Fly is sporting a High Gain Dimarzio Pick up at the bridge and man some of the runs I do sound like Satch to the point that a big smile lights up on my face. LOL. Yeah man I apologizing to anyone who thinks I was downing Joe S. Hes the greatest player, Hey whats ur thoughts on Vai?

@Dionydejesus super true :D

@jemjoesatch Ive played guitar since the age of 14 . I'm now 39. I know this was a few months back and yes I was hoping to see him jam right close and up front so I was naturally disappointed. So yes I will say I may had been wrong in what I said but you have to understand I love Joe I think hes one of the greatest guitar players ever. I have seen many other vids where he talks about gear. Speaking of GEAR I noticed he;s playing Marshall again. A fall out with Peavey? Anyone know the answer?

Is that Joe's house?

@a1works00 I see a mac pro...

mate hope ya have been fine with Sammy and all chickens foot members cool that you recorded at skywalker

@jemjoesatch Yes Vai is different then Joe. I noticed one thing about Vai is he has long skinny fingers making his shredding abilities incredible. One thing I dont like about Steve is he can be playing the most beautiful solo and then ruin it with some weird whammy bar or strange technique? I will have to say I was blown away at the Live version of "Wish You Were Here" By Vai on youtube at G3. He uses a JEM with 3 necks one has no frets. Its so beautiful. I prefer Satch though both are Great!!

I can't get over how much he sounds like Casey Kasem.

its a sustainer pup called a sustainiac =)

ha nice

in chickinfoot is his sun going to replace micheal anthony on bass

@FatJudith Accio Ibanez JS2400!!!

@PietroRumenta it's the sound he likes, and the sound that makes it satch. if he were to use a strat it wouldn't be his sound. and he wouldn't find his voice in it. or thats what I've understood from all his interviews....

@AcousticBeaver dont you know, satriani is voldemort ?!

@MrNarcoleptik looks like it!!

Joe told me himself that he's a huge fan of Tim Halcomb sn guitarttimman!

@whitelotus808 the whole album would have had that emotion on it man, it's how it is.

he has ''god speed''

Now that's a keyboard.

Where's Kassem?

@Tomiiag No!!! You're not the only one!!! Lol!!!

@MrNarcoleptik looks like it... seems everyones using em lately

@jakeboynz Yup. I love my eleven rack.

@gsxrguitar Hmm, I didn't think he used sustainers. Interesting. Typically when he goes for long notes he just uses feedback from the amp and such. Cool though.

Joe knows mo.

@danbenkert Vai is amazing, i went through a phase of prefering vai for a while till i realised, that i prefer satrianis melodies over vais technical ability. But I am not a fan of Paul Gilbert! melody less playing IMO.

if you have the Lick Of The Day app, you must've notice that he didnt change position

Who else noticed the Eleven Rack, bottom left corner???

he's not using a MAC !!!!!!!! awesome .. go on my semi-broken Dell ..

thumbs up if ur looking down here (at the comments) because ur waiting till he starts playing!!!

@wntersun666 which means? Students can become better than teachers...

May i borrow your guitar please :')

@AcousticBeaver Just looks more and more like him these days, doesn't he?

@danbenkert wrong wrong wrong. Interesting when your a musician.

@mikakit he's 54, so its the latter.

Has satch ever used 7 strings?

you know
