What a beautiful song! Can't believe this is the same man who killed Lily and James Potter :(

My favorite Satch song. I can't help crying for my wife Nancy. I lost her to cancer just this past december 11. I love you and miss you baby girl I'm lost and incomplete without you

Satriani was always an exeption, being virtuos, knowing about music theory, but playing from the heart. Not "just" music for musicians, he really makes singable songs which everybody could understand not just us guitarplayers...

one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Neither he or anyone else ever has or ever will improve on the original studio track. It's pretty much perfection. This tune demands a huge amount of nuance, attention to detail and technique, and dynamic control. All you have to do is compare his playing above with the original track to understand that.

Not only is he a great guitarist but a great speaker. His knowledge and passion reaches out in a very humble way.

I remember being in a sport's shop when l was like 12 or so! I remember this came on the radio, things were never the same again in the world guitar! Love Joe!

Last time I had a Mixolydian explosion was at the Taco Bell public bathroom!! LOL!!!

One of my all-time favorite "feel good " songs. Always makes you feel like you're standing on the peak of Mt. Everest, looking down on the world. Satriani is so awesome!

No words but full of words. This is the most beautiful song ever.

Whenever I hear the word legato, joe is the first person I think of. He’s the master of it.

2:50 one of the best guitar tips ever, love satch`s way of speaking about the instrument...

I bought his dvd, “Live In SanFransisco” years ago. I’m still listening to it today!

The first song that I learnt note by note from a guitar magazine, around 15 years ago. What an amazing song

his eyes... the look in his eyes still is like that of a 18 year old :') love u, satch!

He's my inspiration to play guitar.

‘ They are listening to the whole thing‘ And not the bits as he mentioned - that made me feel much better as an amateur classical guitarist as we are looking for perfection I am so glad that he clarified that 🙏

my favorite musician and guitarist of all time.so grateful to watch him live in minneapolis right before his stage.

best composer for electric guitar in my opinion really amazing songs, even people who are not into guitar loves it

This is truly a beautiful song. Just the selected chords and chord melodies are really special. If you listen to this on acoustic steel string or nylon arrangements it still is moving, proving that Joe’s pyrotechnic solos are just icing on the cake. ❤

Glad he's saying this. So many guitar virtuosos are locked in their heads trying to get everything technically right when all the listeners, even the advanced students of the instrument, couldn't care less and are just glad to hear good, melodic playing. Tommy Emmanuel is the same way. He realizes he's a showman first, but he's the greatest fingerstyle player in the world. He's humble and intelligent enough to know it's not about him. It's about the experience for the ticket holder or the CD buyer. Joe, Tommy, maybe Paul Gilbert most of the time. A lot of the rest...they're slaves to their craft and it shows.

Thank you Joe. Your music has been a part of my life for over 30 years.

joe .awesome .no words for your work from deep of your heart

amazing!! this guy is so humble and down to earth... mark of a true artist !!

Joe you are beacon of light we love you dearly.

So touching! Still moves me after all these years! Love it Joe! Thank you!

I could listen to him during hours... and I don't play guitar anymore (thanks to guys like him :-))

Absolutely brilliant musician, this guy has been the biggest influence on my playing along with Robert Fripp. Leon Todd got it right today, if you don' t like Satch you don't like the sound of electric guitar.

It’s hard for me to think of another modern, hip, virtuosic electric guitar instrumental in 3/4 time? What a pioneer!

Simplesmente ...fabuloso um verdadeiro espetáculo . Uma explosão sonora mais linda que ja ouvi obrigada Joe

Thank you Joe! you have inspired me to take my guitar playing to the next level!

I like the way he played it in the past more so than these days. Anywhere from the live record, "Time Machine" to the live record, "Live in San Francisco". To my ears, the song seemed to have a nicer flow. It seems that in more recent years, he plays it with much more staccato, and to me it kind of loses that flowy, gentle feel. Just my opinion. Those of you that know Joe's playing really well, and this song in particular, what do you think??

That is what makes an awesome musician, when you don't have an ego and you let the music speak for itself! I would like to be Satch when I grow up.

My all time favorite ❤

Always a great song I remember the days learning this song, Hope their is more to come

Joe is simply one of the greatest guitar masters of the universe! nuff said~

Yup. Modest man to say when all is said and done, a musician is just the conduit...

I remember when that song aired it was a major major big deal for me it was a heartbreaking day and it was to my heart that Jesus Himself sent that song for my ears because when I heard it I was astounded and when I heard the name of the tune it was From Jesus To me because my heart was crushed. God bless you Joe satriani .

My favorite guitar player

Well said Joe! I believe it's very universal for every job really - most people only care about the whole thing, not all that technical little things behind the scene we all care about so much.

the hole thing ? i never thought of it from there its not about me , its about us what we do a hole thing , thanks joe, a light just came on

This was our first dance song in our wedding.

A living legend ! My favorite guitarist

What a tune. What a master!

one of the best instrumental songs ever

I love those songs played by joe so I always watching oVer it

He has the most beautiful melodies of all the guitar shredders

One of the bests tracks . Brilhant. Pure inspiration compose.

Beautiful piece,immense guitarist

Greatest. Thank u joe

So good!

master Joe Satriani always fascinates me...

Still gives me goosebumps, just a wonderful track.

Hes certainly ageing gracefully!

Joe performed this at Expo 92 guitar legends...sublime!

That was so good to hear him say that about cutting nails, I often find myself thinking random crap when playing which is quite distracting.

Thanks for inspirations me....amazing sound...

I love this song!

Maestro.

It's a beautiful song!

One of the greatest...👍

Thanks!

God, he never ages does he? Awesome!

Sounds like a genuinely nice guy too 👍🏼

One of the best!

Grande satriani. Gracias por hacernos felices!

What a great lesson for all types of guitar players.

Greatest composer of all time

This guy is amazing :)

Joe's simply the best .....enough said !

such great advice in this one about what we are thinking and hear to what everyone else hears :)

I found a backing track for this song on youtube recently, and it is most good. I jam this song pretty much everytime I play guitar, and I had just finished playing it, coincidentally while my roommates were watching that episode and like five minutes before the song was played on the show... I was pretty flabbergasted!

Such an awesome song from a totally amazing Guitar man!!!!

great video!

only alil bit. but it works cause now that one song has led a bunch of people who never knew or heard about the song/his music is probably now exploring how good he really is.

Great guitarist and great Man.

Love this one!

Joe Satriani is the guitar player ever periods

Is it possible that he can ever sound bad? Such fluidity and strength - or perhaps the word 'meekness' even applies - Strength under control... I love his playin'... :)

What an amazing guitar!

thanks so much !!!

The last bit of information, so true.

this channel is great

"the process of reaching out sometimes is really messy and ugly i mean you just fall flat on your face, but from that you learn something" definitely, learning this song, i broke my high E string when i was trying hard to perfectly play this song ,due to try to bending it in tune and accurate, but it worth a lot for me. :')

Great Man!

He is my Idol..

your guitar is your emotion..

I Love music

Awesome..👏👏👏

Interesting that he says/infers that by trying your own ideas you fail a lot of the time but ultimately you develop your own style and original sound.Which is in Joe's case enthuses others to copy his playing note for note,but this is really what he is saying not what to do.Find you own sound listen to as much of what turns you on,but make your own style unique if you want to be unique.Good technique & passion makes Joes style great,and humbleness enables learning.

One of may favorites by The Alien.

Man I wish Joe was my guitar tutor.

The OG Master

beautifully said!

I really like that final message. They're listening to the WHOLE thing. He could be playing a chinese strat through a Marshall MG and it would still be amazing, only he would know the difference.
