Me: “well that was perfect. That guy can’t get any better.” Joe: “Here’s 94 things you can improve....”

I’m glad he won this. A humble, respectful student. And he rips.

[@moeb434]

The most profound thing Joe said was that the motor skill abilities show up pretty quick and are limited, but the artistic development continues throughout the players life. I've been trying to dominate my instrument physically and have restricted my artistry. I'm going to change my perspective, accept my physical limits, and focus on the artful expression of playing. This post is a life changing event for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@musicman0423]

Not always! I’ve technically been playing for 25 years, but I learned some lead scales and all the basic chords when I was a kid, and never had the desire to really be a musical player until about 2 years ago, and I’ve made tons of progress. I’m faster and cleaner than I ever used to be. I have a long way to go though, but in my opinion, that’s the beauty of music and playing an instrument. Your skills NEVER max out. There is always room for improvement, and new material to learn. This was a great video to watch, but that was the one thing I found myself disagreeing with.

[@FrankFurther]

What it is, is total defeatist bollocks. You can absolutely train speed. Don't give up, push yourself harder. It's the only way to get there

[@Jallen7362]

Just realized Joe is tuned down half a step this whole time and his mastery of the instrument is so complete that he transposes all of this playing on the fly rather than retune to standard. Incredible.

[@FrankFurther]

By which you mean he plays everything one fret higher. Hardly difficult

[@Jallen7362]

@@FrankFurther Doesn't work for open strings

[@christeuma]

Double-locking Floyd Rose! You need to pull out the Allen key to retune. The tuners on the bridge can move within a semi-tone, but you're putting too much pressure on the screw to use those to down or up tune that semi-tone. On a regular guitar it isn't so crazy a solve to do a quick tune down stretch out each string and get back to playing.

[@Taraalcar]

That dude's got some balls playing Satch Boogie in front of the man himself. I'd probably forget how to do a C chord.

[@Frateloscast]

lmao true dude

[@bengroothuis5061]

i get nervous playing in front of my guitar teacher. I probably would pass out playing in front of satchriani lol.

[@DoggoWillink]

Yeah I can't even play a guitar sitting in front of someone directly watching. I get too anxious. It was an issue for me with my last teacher. I went to him for nearly 3 years but still had trouble playing as I actually could while there. So I'd show him stuff I recorded once in a while and then he could see where I really was.

[@RyanC232]

I play ok in front of my teacher. I have the toughest time learning or imrovising in front of him. It is tough and i have mad respect for this guy playing Joe's song for him... i probably would've just done some scales and a couple of chords!

[@naegleriafowleri76]

thats because you suck, if you had the same level as this guy, it would like riding a bycicle, trust me, this satch boogie lick is not difficult, this beard dude can play things way more complex than that

This is about the 3rd or 4th time I've watched this video. Two things always strike me: Joe is a great teacher; and this Rick guy has got balls of steel to play Satch Boogie as well as he did in front of the man himself.

[@michaelb2211]

"when you develop an opinion about every scale, that becomes your sound". Good stuff

[@davidgriffin8482]

This was a very good lesson for me, I got a ton out of it. I really am a folk picker for the most part. But what you say transcends. And when most people say what you said it sounds like my dad saying it. It's not personal it's just if I want to be better I need to improve some things, usually things I don't like to play or have a incorrect attitude about. I freaky like the way you put it. It's like why don't I just make piece with my demons embrace the lesson and set my self free to go anywhere. That sounds good but now I have to go pick a hole to patch and it gets overwhelming. Thanks Joe, and to the man who played along with you and opened up. He plays very well too but you are a master, PhD level. You have gone through all the ups and downs of learning most every aspect. So you can see where most people are in their playing at a glance. Anyway, thanks again.

[@helltoplay1479]

After reading the negative comments directed toward the student i have to say that they are unwarranted, specifically the ones insinuating that the student is "trying to be like Satch" etc. I personally know the student. I have heard him play for years. He is not trying to be Satch or play like him. He has his own style which you are unaware of. He has written beautiful music for himself, he has played in a high profile band while writing wicked solos. He has stated his weaknesses and was very humble throughout the lesson so it's not clear as to why you'd bash him. He doesn't want to be satch. This was simply a great opportunity to sit down with an artist he respects, playing music he enjoys and taking a lesson. It was a very cool thing. If you all love satch for the respect and class he shows, why not show a little of the same because we all know that every one of you "guitarists"would have loved to have been sitting where the student was and i can say without a doubt that satch would have had something to pick apart in any one of you. The student has balls and class. Lose the envy and stop speaking like children who don't know any better.

[@jamesbarros950]

helltoplay1 I think there are 10,000 people who recognize his skill, dedication and how he was working to confirm what Satch was teaching him for every 1 who insisted he was talking too much. This was a great lesson both for him and for all of us still well below the students skill level who are learning second hand :)

[@azabuvsobelo5687]

relax... most people think he was awesome... dont let the few trolls in

[@voteZDLR]

I haven't seen any comments bashing him yet... but I didn't look that hard either. Anyway if people are being dicks to him it's probably rooted somewhere in jealousy, one that he got a lesson with a legend and it was filmed and two that he's likely better at guitar than they thought he'd be and nobody likes people who are better than them.

[@guitarsrcool4922]

Some of these people have no class. There clearly jealous and out of that becomes meanness. Very sad.

[@ronj9448]

The student played well under pressure. I think he'd laugh off any negative comments because he'd know they were baseless. I don't think he needs defending either.

[@loneventhorizon]

The difference is, Rick makes me sit back and think holy shit! This guy is an epic guitar player, and Joe makes me sit back and think about my life.

[@NolalanD]

Rick makes you think about guitar; Joe makes you think about music, and what it is to be a musician.

Well, Mr. Satriani is one patient and very attentive teacher. Needless to say the gentleman is a very fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be in the presence of a true musical teacher whom is one heck of a nice guy. Never seen Eddie Van Halen do this and in my opinion if Randy Rhoads was still with us he would be along the lines of Joe as a teacher due to the fact of their in depth love of music and willingness to share. Thanks for the upload.

[@bob5951]

Yeah now that you mention it jack - I totally agree with the Randy Rhoads anaolgy. His passion for the music is equal to his knowledge of the music. Man Satch is one hell of a good teacher - he wants to share his musical/guitar knowledge without being pedantic. I'm a software developer by trade and also have had my share of guitar teachers So I've met plenty of pedantic pricks hahaha.

[@livenloud6697]

How awesome is Joe Satriani he will never ever be replaced and such a nice man

[@TalkingMonkey1]

What a great Master Class lesson. What a great teacher Joe is! The point to a lesson is to stretch your abilities. Joe knows that, so watched Rick play, then give him a lesson gauged to his level and current weak spots. It was exactly what Rick wanted/needed to hear. Who else could do that with a great player like Rick? This was amazing. It would be super-cool for Rick to come back as he improved and then get another Next-Level lesson from Joe. I hope they made an arrangement for Rick to continue as Joe's student. That would be great if they did. Rick seems more than deserving and worth Joe's time.

[@StratMatt777]

@@andrewbintang4591 Ha! :) [MASSIVE PASTE OF AN OLD POST OF MINE]: I learned music theory in college many years ago and still haven't applied it to my solo playing because I haven't taken the time because I can play whatever I hear in my head with no trouble after 20 years of obsessive lead playing. I understand the concept of modes and know the different modes, but I can't play one without pausing and thinking it through and then applying it to my guitar, slowly. Here are two really awesome vidoes about understanding and applying modes to guitarvideos kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZDQaZRvja-MgKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGa0qX5vebWgi9k Modes seem very confusing and overwhelming, but its just about which scale degree of the major scale you are STARTING on, creating your starting point, which results in the distribution of whole step and half step intervals within the scale which is what creates the sound of a particular mode. Since all songs have a key (or chords) under them, it is probably more accurate to say that the mode you are playing is a result of the key of the music (or the chord) you are playing over. Check it out: The major scale (C to C on a keyboard) is made up of these intervals: whole whole half whole whole whole half The major scale is called the Ionian mode. If you start on C and play the major scale through to C, or return to C or whatever you are playing from your STARTING POINT of C. You played STARTING from the first scale degree of the C Major/Ionian scale: C... Now imagine if you are still playing over a song in the key of C major and you play a scale starting at D, but you are playing that EXACT same C Major/ionian scale EXCEPT that you are not playing (or starting on) the C. You are playing the second mode: Dorian... because you started on the second scale degree (D) of the C major scale and played within the C Major/Ionian scale of whole whole half whole whole whole half, BUT because you started on D NOT on C you didn't play: whole whole half whole whole whole half (Major/ionian from C to C), you played whole half whole whole whole half whole (Dorian D to D starting from the 2nd scale degree of the C major/Ionian scale, which is D). The thing that made really understand the CONCEPT of modes was playing along with the intro of Satriani's "Flying In A Blue Dream" on the B string while understanding that it is the Lydian mode and that I was playing along in Lydian. Lydian is really close to the major scale, it just has a sharped 4, which is a result of starting on the 4th scale degree of the major scale (instead of starting on the first scale degree, which would be major/ionian). Think of a keyboard... in the key of C, you'd be starting your scale on F instead of C. Take a look at a keyboard and note the distribution of the black keys (which are the reason for the whole steps between the white keys which have the black keys between them) and it will be plain to see why, in comparison to major or Ionian: whole whole half whole whole whole half Lydian is: whole whole whole half whole whole half It's because there are 2 black keys between C and E and 4 black keys between F and B. So anyway, fire up "Flying in a Blue Dream" now... Okay. Hear that droning feedback note? Coincidentally it just happens to be a C because the song is in the key of C. Now play it on the B string at the 1 st fret. Now, from there go up the B string to frets 3 5 7 8 10 8 Hear it? You just played the motif of the song by playing Lydian, WHICH IS like a major/ionian with a sharped 4, which is merely a result of starting on the 4th scale degree of the major/ionian instead of the 1st scale degree. That's what made it all click for me. Does that make sense? Should I make a video to show what I mean? The order of the modes memory aid (from college) is: I Don't Phone Lydia Much Anymore Lois For example: Ionian/Major starts on the first scale degree, notated: ^1 = "1st scale degree" ^1 Ionian/Major ^2 Dorian ^3 Phrygian ^4 Lydian ^5 Mixolydian ^6 Aeolian/Minor ^7 Locrian Have you heard of "relative minor"? C major's relative minor is A minor because it is built on the ^6th scale degree of C. ^6 Aeolian is the "relative minor" of whatever key your ^1 Ionian/Major is... so, in the key of C, ^1 is C and ^6 is A, and that is why A minor is the relative minor of C major.

I've taught guitar for years and have a Master's degree in music this is a good lesson from Joe! If you notice when the guy plays 'Satch Boogie' whilst he alternates in parallel fifths on the third interval he adds a chromatic run then juxtaposes that with an inverted chord, however look real close he alternate picks that part and sweep picks the triplets. That is not exactly how Satch plays it which is why he picks him up on several things.

[@zx7-rr486]

Wow, if I had to play Satch Boogie in front of Satch, I'd Satch my pants ... :-P

[@Iheartdgd]

Lol

[@PartialS]

Vai playing Satch Boogie in front of Satch, on a JS guitar, with Satch's rig, would not get it right either. It was a ballsy move.

[@mikegrinder7539]

That's a side-splitter! hahaha

[@collinjohnson1398]

Word

[@divided_and_conquered1854]

HAHAHAHA Got me on that one. CHEERS!

[@jasondesjardins7371]

This was SO good. It wasn't just a bullshit celebrity meet and greet posing as a "lesson". Nope, Joe gave great insight and actually taught. You could see that he's a teacher at heart. The guy who won the lesson deserved it. Great dude, terrific player, and could really absorb what Joe was teaching. Loved every second of this and learned a great deal myself.

[@Thisisspacemusic]

dude is damn good! What a cool opportunity!

[@loneventhorizon]

This is hands down the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[@streetwarrior31]

what a great lesson....just the first 20 minutes, you´ll learn so much...so much of it...wow . The great message i take from this lesson is... the important is not worcking all about the guitar but to teach you brain and ears, reconizing what sounds can a guitar do...than, passe it to the guitar

[@barrybaldwin5535]

Joe is not only extremely fluent in his playing, but also in his speech. His music theory is fascinating to listen to & held my attention to the very end of the video & I'm not even a musician.

[@toolfrk1991]

The best lesson I have found on KZbin!!! A lot of great advice!

[@TexasKoz]

Mick is bad ass...BREAK OUT brother!!!!! Joe is a champ. Always looking for his music.

[@jameswilliams1612]

I met Joe and Steve Vai at guitar center in October of 2003. Joe was such a nice guy. I will always remember how nice he is. Steve was ok. I watched him play that night at the house of blues. Great show of course Yngwie was Yngwie.

[@jameswebb9738]

This is second interview/session I’ve seen Joe In today, what a great person he seems to be. So humble and willing to share his thoughts and knowledge. I’m so impressed. For someone of his stature to be so cool and down to earth is so great to see. Not an ounce of arrogance !! I’m blown away!! Remarkable!! Awesome!! Incredible!! And the student was equally cool

[@chipwhackerman7087]

now I really understand why joe has some of the most successful students of all time!! he knows the most intricate techniques and knowledge of music!

[@aquabot]

plus, he knows how to explain and transmit his knowledge.

[@Yann_Moax]

The guy is living a 50min absolute dream ! You're so lucky dude :)

[@brettschultz7430]

Didn't realize how much of a nice humble man Joe is. Pleasure to watch and listen.

[@drrezdc]

What a fabulous lesson. He hit every point: How and where to hold the pick, hold the note, hand position, pressure on the strings...

[@PatrikFilmMaker]

Amazing Lesson i love Joe Satriani best guitar man for ever

[@MrDonc78]

this is a valuable lesson. everyone should pay attention to what Joe is teaching. it is condensed from years of priceless knowledge. thanks for sharing!

[@j0tt0]

This is just beautiful and inspiring to watch. A student and a teacher, in conversation about their art.

[@jepklm1935]

Nice playing Rick Corvese! And thank you JS for the great insights. Love you both.

[@Bsimmonsnw]

He seems such a 'regular' guy, as much as you can be when you're a superstar guitarist. Saw him last year and loved him.

[@JazzRadioFfm]

satch is a sick teacher. really empathic guy, it seems.

[@rdubb77]

As a professional guitar teacher, I'd say he's excellent. Very empathetic, but also direct. You can see how he's developed many famous players over the years.

[@metallicaandskate]

What a great teacher. Joe gives just enough insight for the student to still figure out everything by himself!

[@caboluna2927]

Got to see Joe about 10 yrs ago. The performance was absolutely amazing. He is a fantastic guitarist. One of the best I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot).

[@LilaAngelique]

He is such a great teacher! I'm learning a lot and I'm a classical singer!

[@edwardcasingal2215]

+Lila' Angelique He is a real genius. Even me i'm still learning a lot from his video since 2008. Kudos

[@mrsrevolution99]

Joe handled that very well I thought! What a gentleman, respectful of the other player and explaining information in a relaxed and wise way. Enjoyed getting an insight into how Joe teaches.

[@arjones2330]

That jam at the end of the video was beautiful!!!!

[@robphillips8351]

Nice playing.. satriani rock's.. amazin phrasin.. memorable melodies, catchy themes, and a style of his own 👍👍

[@tomg2217]

I fucking love it! "I need to know what the student can do", promptly lays down Satchel Boogie flawlessly!

[@muranilife]

This was beautiful to watch and gain priceless nuggets from the Satch. It was inspiring for those of us perfecting our improvisation. Thanks for the video.
