Gets me every time... Timelessness....

Chris Impellitteri arranged, performed and recorded this version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, not Joe Satriani. Having this improperly credited to Joe disrespects both Joe and Chris (and makes you look foolish). On behalf of the global guitar community, I hereby request that you please correct this oversight forthwith. Thank you.

Zajebisty kawałek...UWIELBIAM GO!!!

Yeah, you definitely need to change this to Chris Impellitteri. It's from his Stand in Line album, 1988. Instrumental rock isn't always Satriani, just as swingin' jazz isn't automatically Sinatra. :)

Wonderfull

THIS IS FROM CRHIS IMPELLITTERI NO FROM SATRIANI!!! >:/

amazin how many vesions/covers of this song there are. Just shows if a songs good enough it will never die;)

Love you man thank you for saving my life

Come on, use your ears people. Satriani, Malmsteen, and Impellitteri (who this obviously is), all sound completely different. And just because Impellitteri did one classical style pedal tone riff, doesn't automatically mean it's Malmsteen either.

Thank you Joe.

perfect perfect perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it

this is not Satriani or Malmsteen its by a gentleman named Chris Imperliletti (sorry on spelling) This CD is not in print anymore but this guy can stll play and this is a great version. So you too Ciclismo even you got it wrong.

It really was impelliterri, I have the album sitting next to me, sounds exactly the same, except better audio quality...

There are like 10 videos of this song.....attributed to everyone but the guy playing it!

Very good

Beautiful

The biggest!

hmm..so sweet..

That is a STRAT

wooww!!!

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

yes

steve vai is soooo awsome!!!!!!

BLUESNISIMO. HAPPY DAY HAPPY LIFE.

It's from album by Impellitteri

@EstevanMusic I was thinking the same thing... And it's not only about the vibratto, but the improvising structure and the guitar player's choices on what to use. He even uses the same modes as Malmsteen likes the best. XD

yup yup yup!

Actually yea 6 years ago when youtube was not very well known you used to search music on Lime Wire or Ares etc. the search results shown this result "Joe Satriani - Somewhere over the Rainbow" :P

@conakzer if i had to pick one of them to be playing it would be satch, because vai doesnt add harmonics and palm mutes as much as satch, and it has more emotion like satriani's playing, im not saying vai doesnt have emotion but in satch's playing it shows more...

does anyone know where can i find this backing track?

It sound's just like Jimmi Hendrix version.!!!!!!!!!👍😎💝👉🎸👈☺💓😁👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That is Chris Impellitteri's No4 instrumental piece from the album Stand In Line. . . NOT Joe Satriani at all. . Please do not mislead other listeners who are new to this type of music. .

Indeed This one played by lil wayne...

The guitarist is Chris Impelliteri, but the title was Joe Satriani. Do I missed something here?

@bianchiniman yes im well aware of that. im just saying this song sounds more like steve vai than satriani. i do actually do my homework on my favorite artists but as i have only been listening to steve vai and satriani for fifteen years or so what do i know.

Chris Impelitteri - 👍

This is a great cover, but no... It is not Satriani's style at all. I'll look for Impelliteri's stuff now. It caught my interest. :D Nice pedal use at 0:53 by the way.

this is definitely not Joe it is Chris Impelliterri!

That's Yngwie Malmsteen

Guys this is Steve Vai

I thought this version was made by Malmsteen?

is this on itunes

Now I want to listen to that Impelliteri EP (without this song) ...and the LP with this song on it.

does sound like steve vai.

@nerdalert12345 I mean you guys forgot Jimi Hendrix, I saw a couple of videos that had Jimi Hendrix's name on the title of Somewhere over the rainbow.

this is impelliteri

It´s Chris Impelliterri^^

You're all so wrong, this is the ONE AND ONLY JORDI FERNANDEZ FROM MOTTO PERPETUO LIVE AT BARO DE VIVER!!!

@cyllocybin haha, ok well you know that this isnt either one of them, and if it was it sounds like a mixture of vai and satch, when it goes off and shreds thats vai, but when it kinda has that harsh blues sound that is satch all the way...

Souns like Malmsteen, especially the pieces out of the chorus.

maybe vai sounds like him. if your tone deaf. this sounds like steve vai and everyone else seems to agree. out of all the albums i own i dont know of one song by steve that even comes close to sounding like joe satriani in anyway. their tone is so different but not as different as their approach to playing. joe is the man and steve is the magician.

IT'S CHRIS IMPELLITTERI

A freakin' idiot would know this wasn't Satch. It's about the only thing Impelliteri has ever done that I liked.

N00bs u.u Chris Impellitteri plays this song u.u

@cyllocybin that is very true i agree with everthing you are saying here but im not trying to big up marty young he comes from tawian and that is a very true point i didn't really think of it that way

i think people started doing that shit from the napster days, remember when you download a song and it had the wrong artist or name, that used to tick me off lol, so i think there is a lot of confusion out there because of that....i actually downloaded two versions of this song from napster back in the day. one was over the rainbow by malmsteen and one was by satriani...major fail...its totally chris impelliteri! i do however miss the napster days ;(

@nerdalert12345 you forhoy jimi hendrix, i saw plenty of mistakes by the name of Jimi Hendrix.

This is Chris Impelliteri, no Satch, no Malmsteen either...

@daoyinyang im so confused at what you just said to me

awesome song, JS is the best

Isnt it Yngwie??

i have my doubts on that statement SolanPerras, i'm with the Malmsteen-people on this one.

2024 ,alguém veio aqui?

Chris Impellitteri :P

😂😂 credits to Chris Impileretti

@monkfg new trend it happened since the dawn of youtube my friend

@machine7108 steve vai sound alike. this guy wants to be steve vai who can blame him

Leta repot these videos.its not satriani or malmsteen,but this is impelitteri works.

list: names Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, Impelliterri, Hendrix I notice comments say 6 years ago it was Impelliterri but 6 years ago I kept losing this song so I looked for it and I only ever saw Vai so I think it has to be one of those 2 how ever I got to say I don't think anyone knows and I think the original artist is having a laugh because its probably none of these since nobody can say for sure I say this cause none can offer proof so I am gonna assume its Vai because that was the only name I ever saw. 6 years ago all I ever saw was the name Vai I never once saw a version that said Impelliterri EVER! When I Google it there aren't really any sites that can proclaim to which the real artist is.

You're right guys. He picks too much the strings, he can't be Satriani. It remembers me Malmsteen. I admit I don't know who Impellitteri is.

Malmsteen has another sound...it's not Satriani...it's probably Impellitteri..

@cyllocybin My point is that this guy has the best quality guitars and equipment and recording stuidio's and someone else who really doesn't is playing so much better than him does that not say something about him as a guitarist he is meant to be like one of th best guitarist right, well it really isn't that good

:D i can tell from the sound and style its not satch

chris impelliteri sounds more like vai than satch does lol and seeing as how my first comment was this does sound like steve vai. i dont know why everyone is under the impression this is satriani. nothing like his style in any way whatsoever this can only be confused with steve vai. which is isnt

Is not Satriani. Is Malmsteen

whahahahahhaa it's not steve vai xD it's chris impelitterri

you are wrong people this one played by one direction

it's impellitteri

@cyllocybin haha vai sounds like him... satch taught vai.

chris impelliteri sounds more like vai than satch does lol

@conakzer my point is if you wanna big up your good friend marty young then go do it on his page. if you wanted respect then you should have chosen better words like hey if you like steve vai then i suggest you check out marty young because his version is excellent. then people would actually look rather than think your an idiot. no offence but i cant stand people who watch a video then try to dissect it and say its crap. this isnt even steve vai or joe satriani so does it matter?

damn listen people, it's not the guitar sound of Satriani or Vai damn xD

No this is malmsteen

WTF!!! this is IMPELLITTERI, CHRIS IMPELLITTERI, WTH is wrong with this people!! O_o

This was lil Wayne wtf

research a little bit more dude, its from chris impellitteri.

it's not satriani, it's impellitteri

no its impellitteri ....

THIS CHRIS IMPELLITTERRI NOT JOE SATCH....

Hmmm... Mr. Satch doesn't sound like this.

what is heard here was definitely not performed by Joe. someone has fooled you

Come on guys its really Steve Vai...it even sounds like him

これはChris Impellitteriでしょ。間違えるなんて二人に対して失礼極まりない。

yea this isn't satch but it's still bad ass.I'm sure if satch did a version it would be amazing as well.

Really ??

is not satriani

Joe Satriani are playing this.
