Never heard of him until Sir Evil turned me onto him a few years back. Definitely one of the best guitarists I've ever heard!
Steve vai is another awesome player! i downloaded the audience is listening last night. i dont know why i own the cd...lol but yes he joe is very awesome. ive played that video i dont know how many times. see jim, hes another bald guy too!
My son teaches guitar & I'm also the other half of Musicman (drummer, 35 yrears) so I'm well aware of the awsomeness of Satriani. You'd be surprised at the number of people I come across who doesn't know who he or Vai are. My own preference leans towards Vai & Eric Johnson. Satriani's "Alien" is too 'out there' for me. Since you like guitar as much as you seem to, try some Danny Gatton, Gambale, or Adrian Legg. Gambale & Legg are Aussies. I really like Legg. Another one might be Duarte. I think he's from Texas. Just tho't I'd pass this along.
your kidding right? well i guess the newer generation wouldnt be as apt to know vai, satriani, malmsteen and the likes. unless they are into music alot or musicians
I'm probably old enough to be your mother. I'm talking about all different ages, really. Even people who claim to be 'well informed'. But then, too, these guys think I'm just a dumb broad.
