Joe Satriani "Satch Boogie" At: Guitar Center

Joe is one of the few fast players that I still find very musical and usually really enjoy listening to.

Do you have time to talk about our lord and savior Buckethead?

[@skylersample5356]

@@SuperHansburger93 buckethead is cool but compared to the rest of the greats he's eh. he isnt bad but never had near the inluence the others had

[@GearZenChannel]

Just started learning to play this. I'll get back to you when I've mastered it. So, never.

[@Non-disjunction]

How's it going?

[@GearZenChannel]

+Non-disjunction Got sidetracked with "Always with me Always with you," which I can play about 60% of the way through.

[@merrittmussorgsky2937]

Don't be discouraged. Just takes practice, like anything else. It sounds more difficult than it really is. It took me the better part of an evening to learn it and about 3 or 4 days to get it down where I was happy with it and the rest of week to burn it in my mind and fingers till it was easy. And that was all by ear when I was in 9th grade so 14 or so. I'm 30 now and have been teaching professionally since I was in middleschool. The trick is to have your technique higher than whatever tunes or pieces you want to learn. I mean you still obviously want to challenge yourself but within your reach. If you can't play So What at 70bpm you're certainly not going to be able to play Cherokee at 320bpm. Another piece of advice when you get a tune up to tempo don't stop there, keep going cause you don't want it to be a challenge to get through it, you want it to be effortless. I suggest practicing classical etudes for piano and or flute to get your technique together so it just won't be an issue anymore as well as a really good eartraining routine and after that learning any piece of music will be a walk in the park my friend. Cheers and good luck!

[@coolymanman7]

How about now? Made any progress?

[@jprodrigues3923]

Why don t you try to make you own songs?

[@tonydmty1234567]

Satriani worked as a guitar instructor, and some of his former students have achieved fame such as Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, Rick Hunolt, Kirk Hammett, Andy Timmons, Charlie Hunter, Kevin Cadogan and Alex Skolnick. Satriani has been a driving force in music credited to other musicians throughout his career, as a founder of the G3 tour, as well as performing in various positions with other musicians.

[@nitefly99]

The best bit is when he plays the guitar

I like when he talks about playing the guitar

[@dogxhot]

The best bit was when he stopped playing-music isn't a race

[@s.n.8128]

Hey.. there can be competetion, and racing while still making nice art, with emotions. - I am a very competetive person, so honestly, i would probably dig in more effort if it was a race, than i would if it wasint.. And that's just personality, which is okay.

INSANE. Better than the original recording. Better riffs, note choice. Insane....

[@gavinendsley]

He's no longer heavily medicated and in a neck brace. That might be why. xd

[@horspla2000]

I agree

[@lopezb]

Great performance, great song! Interesting- this is a full step lower than on the album.

I LOVE music, and i love my fellow musicians in this world, and i am SO GLAD that words can not express it enough how glad i am that i also am a part of that chapter on earth. I may not be a celebrity or world famous musician, but i am still a musician, always been!

[@triceraptorleonidastrismeg724]

Best rock and roll guitar song ever!

[@nayibcabanligiii1391]

Why could there be people disliking this vid? He's one of the most humble guitar virtuosos out and he's got pure talent. Lol for them just practice million more times.

[@AbdullahArRafi]

[@rumoursduo]

Had the pleasure of meeting Joe a few years ago. Nicest damn guy on the planet. Has a very real musical brain, as well. Basically the guy really is a maestro of his instrument, & pretty humble about it, too.

[@peskyneighborhoodanarchist]

dear joe, you have such a following to this day!

[@cyclingchick7]

Speechless.... utterly speechless..... I have to remind myself to breathe when I hear Joe play! Wow!

[@cwjalexx]

out of all the guitar virtuosos statriani is my favorite. his songs are well written and they don't just sound like some guy trying to show off by playing a million notes a second

[@blackdogleg]

love him with Chickenfoot.

[@noahsweitzer3756]

cough, him and Eric Johnson

[@Observedwalnut75]

cwjalexx could not disagree more, exactly what it sounds like. While it's well written and takes a lot of guitar based gimmicks and uses them to their potential it's kind of boring, check out tosin abasi.

[@noahsweitzer3756]

Tosin is one of the biggest guitar gimmick user ever

Mike Scanlan I`ve played like every fucking song in that game and learned them pretty easy... but when I started to play "Satch Boogie" ..... Well xD - This Song is fucking hardcore ! I`m at 68,04 % currently! still trying! But my fingers hurt so bad !

[@mikescanlan4653]

Stonedneko Do you know you can download CDLCs for free? As long as the song currently is not a DLC available to buy you can download it into the game and play it. Since you said you've done all the songs, you should look into it. :D

Probably the best version of this song I have heard! Joe hits every note perfectly.

[@Ziggy-gh7bc]

First time i heard this tune on the radio it was 1986 or so in my 71 skylark i was 16 and just put in a new stereo with gensen triaxial speakers and this song came on and i had to pull over and i remember cranking it and thinking I wish i had that guys tone man! Once i found out who it was i became hooked on his stuff. I still like shredding to flying in a blue dream too. So much fun thanks Joe.

[@tonydmty1234567]

[@Quazi-Moto]

I just spent the last 2½ hours learning to play the first 12 seconds of this damn song (which is about 95-100 notes!). I'm nowhere NEAR up to speed, baby crawling my way through it. Took a break to watch this video... which was a mistake because now I realize just how badly I suck. He's absolutely *FLYING* through those notes, man. It's in-freakin-credible. And I now have a newfound respect for anyone that can play this song even close to full speed.

[@jewhima]

Keep at it, you'll get it. Just need to practice.

[@Quazi-Moto]

Corruption by Dezign Lots and lots.... and several more lots.

[@raulperez2308]

[@bytrusted7797]

its a hard ass song, I know all the notes and can almost play it up to speed

[@Quazi-Moto]

@@raulperez2308 Sorry, I was never notified of your comment. Only the most recent one has been shown to me by KZbin. But, no. I didn't. Things happened, including injury to my left forearm, that have made even basic playing difficult. I've not even opened my guitar case in several months now. And that sucks.

[@nomoremr.niceguy4778]

I really like Joe and I’ve been a fan for 30 years. I just wish he would play upstate NY or Williamsport PA so I could see him live again. Last time for me was 1997. Finger lakes performing arts center I think it was. Pretty much out in the boondocks. G3 tour with Vai, Fripp and Kennedy Wayne Shepherd. Undersized crowd that night probably didn’t help the pocketbook for the bands. But the show was great. Made me a fan for life.
