About Joe Satriani

Joe Satriani, the God of Guitar, is the man who taught Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Slash (Guns N' Roses), Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde (Primus), David Bryson (Counting Crows) and jazz- fusion player Charlie Hunter. But Joe Satriani still remains head and shoulders above most guitar gods through sheer good taste. Born in 1956, Westbury NY- inspired by Guitar legend Jimmy Hendrix , Joe picked up the guitar at the age of 14 (although he was initially more interested in the drums).His first full -length solo album, Not of this Earth, automatically made ripples in the rock guitar community.

Some of his other hits include Surfing With the Alien, Flying in a Blue Dream, One Big Rush (Say anything- OST), The Extremist and Grammy nominated Engines of Creation which is his most daring creation ever.
