The way he can break down songs and explain them is truly a gift ... & he can play almost any of them on guitar and a lot on keyboards.
Here's a Rick Derringer one I was watching yesterday...Nirvana. In Bloom
On Howard stern Dave Grohl explained how he had to convince Kurt to double both of their voices when recording this song. Dave sang high harmony. Kurt was against doing it so Dave had to remind him John Lennon did it.
I love the inside stories.

This thread is for the guitar players. I have played 40 years. Since I was a wee little hellion. Please use this thread to post your own shit or any excerpts from players you like. My guitars or guitars I've owned.
Ibanez Electric. (Got it from a drug dealer in a tight financial pinch in the early 80's. Very nice guitar.
64 Les Paul Custom. Also very nice. Bought it for $600 bucks in the mid 80's. Sold it for $1,500 in the early 2000's.
My favorite current guitar is my Taylor Made 310 CE. Beautiful Instrument.
Washburn Acoustic I got back in 1981. Very nice. Excellent high end, Not the mid range or the power of the Taylor Made.
Various classical guitars I rarely play.
Angelo I know I've mentioned I am a big Ritchie Blackmore fan. This is an isolation track of Deep Purple's Burn. I think the playing is amazing. From 2:30 on mind blowing.
Love bass players.I believe to play bass at a high level is much more challenging than guitar. Honestly, when I really listen to great bands I am tuning into the drummers and bass players more than anything else.
Never liked these or the Flying V - uncomfortable to hold.This isn't mine and, if it was, it would reside in one of my safes at the office. This is definitely not for the squeamish. I give you the 1963 Gibson Explorer:

Your price? A cool $218,000 dollars. What kills me is that it's not even all original!
Gibson Explorer (1963)

New songs that are easy.I had a recent model Firebird for a while and it definitely took some time to get used to it. I've never owned a "V" or an Explorer.
Of course, the one to have is a 1958 Moderne, but those are unicorns...
I dont understand how a v is more comfortable unless you have big hair.I had a recent model Firebird for a while and it definitely took some time to get used to it. I've never owned a "V" or an Explorer.

What a great song to pull off live.
I'm sure he is.Saw him live at the old Fox Theater in downtown Riverside. Was one of the best shows I've seen. Small venue , 20 feet from the stage.
Satriani is amazing live.
How do you play one of those things sitting down?I dont understand how a v is more comfortable unless you have big hair.
I'm sure he is.
Not sure if it's true, but I heard or read somewhere that before almost every show, he soaks his hands in hot water for a few seconds or a minute maybe. ( then dries them off obviously before heading out...)
Gotta prevent arthritis and tendinitis too, by playing every day, avoid too much smoking, alcohol (I quit both)and bad food, and then take supplements ---I drink organic ACV with water every day, turmeric and sesame oil.Makes sense. Cold joints will really screw you up.
Heat the joint, not the solder.Makes sense. Cold joints will really screw you up.
