@IAMinDreams iv had people say im a great guitarist when iv had good gear and know im a way better guitarist and only have an acoustic and people say jack now, for some people it can be a mental thing aswell, if you have better gear you think your better and are more motivated to put in more soul so you are better but if you dont have the right gear for and idea than your not motivated and your music goes knowere, how many poor people are great guitarists compared to people with acces to money?
@kingoku maybe you should get better with an acoustic then, rather than blaming your gear. people with better gear usually get better before buying better gear, you could have professional gear and still be shit at your chosen instrument, a real musician could use a $50 acoustic and create amazing things with it,you miss the point entirely.
Nah credit to Vai, he's produced some incredible music over the years- mainly in Passion and Warfare and Real Illusions: Reflections. I would still however say that Satch bests him. Man's an absolute genius.
@Nassmagic101 Agreed with most part, but I don't think you can match a Vai against a Satch...quite different styles actually. Both are immense. Better then all those shredguitarplayers that couldn't write a melody to save their life.
@SymphonyOfDestruct99 Actually he's revered as one of the fastest shredders alive. Have you ever heard him play fast? ear melting. Faster than Yngwie.
@trancemajestic I have most of his album but never see him play live. But i know he can play that fast if he want, but it seems for him speed is not the most important thing. He can play slower song like on the most of his self-titled album, but still sound amazing and original.
@budsyremo Right now on Cspan, Romney is talking its 11:10pm ET. After hes done Gingrich will be on, make sure to listen to the music after Newt Gingrich is done with his speech, 2 Satriani songs are played, very cool.
95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop songs over and over. if your one of the 5% left who still listen to real music, thunb this up, then copy and paste it to t least 5 video's. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK AND ROLL DIE!"
is everyone commenting from some foregin country? I can hardly understand what everbodys saying other then thd kiss joes ass....I love this sng...its so sad....btw :)
@Obeth211 estos guitar heroes nacen con el adn en la sangre.son los mozart de hoy y del mañana.en el mundo hay guitarritas,guitarras,y virtuosos del instrumento,yngwie,steve,petrucci...los demas normales,pasables.asi ha sido y sera.es lo que hay.
@TommittajaFIN LOL, really good comment, i don´t know if you read it in another viedo or anything but its original unlike the JB pennis dislike bar or "i´m going to kill X bastards"
Dude, get over it, do you think it'll affacte sales then? Seriously you can't post things you like on the net and expect everybody to love it. The internet is full of d**ks. fact
I see see what you mean brother...Some folks seem da tend to break down good ol' Joe and say he's to polished and stuff but they's just a lot a fools with nothing else to do.It'll probabably have to do with their upbringing or something...This song "Echo"is one of my all time favourites!
I just started to really appreciate the emotion in the song. Its wierd ive heard this a thousand times and all the sudden it grabs me and pulls me in. This is awesome to say the least nice to improvise to.
Why talking about technic in that kind of song? A lot of people today can play song from Satriani but thats not the point...Difference between technic skill, creating good music, feeling, goove, etc... If you just want some fast licks, sit with your guitar and practice some speed exercice 20hrs/day for 20 years...I'm sure you're gonna play fast...But I'm not sure you're gonna play good music
Wow, these two below have seemingly lost all understanding of what music is about. Instead of telling each other how much they enjoy all of those songs, they're comparing them to see which ones are more "complex" Also they want to get into the 'my favorite guitarists are better than yours' argument. There's no way to effectively debate such a thing since it's completely subjective and will only result in contradictions. This ones better, no that ones better, no this one and so on. (continued)
A song doesn't gain all of it's value from how complex it is. Sometimes, the songs that are less complex sound better according to both fans and musicians alike. Whether a song is super complex or simple, it has to have a "feel" to it or it's not going to be a very memorable piece. It's gotta connect with people emotionally or else it's useless. My favorite electric guitar player is satriani, but i love Halen also and he's definitely on my top 5 list
After a level, there are popular guitarists and guitarists' guitarists from where the popular ones learn and feel. Satriani, is the second type, also inspired by the best ever guitarist, Hendrix
As a musician you naturally critique and analyze the music you enjoy. Its understood that we enjoy the music we are talking about or why would we have been listening to it. To debate and the technical skill of two guitarist is completely viable. As anyone whos been to music school., particularly performance majors.
Jason becker, end of story.....listen to altitudes, oh by the way....he was 19 when he recorded this. Just think, if there was a god he could STILL be playing and getting somehow even better.
Joe Satriani is one of the most clean playing and amazingly technical guitarists that I could honestly say beats those such as Eddie Van Halen and Alexi Laiho. He is incredible (and I'm like dedicated to Van Halen lol).
Honestly, alexi laiho is no one, and eddie van halen isnt in the same world as dr. satchamofunkus, nor should he ever be considered beside joe satriani.
Hold on.. Eddie NEVER considered next to Joe Satriani? Dude....do you even know two of Eddie's songs? He's amazing, he could destroy Joe in a guitar battle.
A guitar battle is when two guitarist take their aptly named axes and swing them at each other until one or both are vanquished, and by vanquished i mean dead. Every intelligent person knows that.
Oh and dude you're on youtube watching instrumental guitar music, if you think people CANT compare guitarist you should read more of the comments, impossible sh*ts happening all around you. ha
Ive heard quite a few of eddies songs, and he is a phenomenal guitarist no doubt, but I mean have you heard satch? In almost everything he plays things Eddie simply couldnt. Perhaps to say never is too extreme. People who overrate alexi laiho get me all worked up.
I don't think Alexi is all that, but you must not know Eddie Van Halen well enough sir. To simply say that Eddie can't play almost everything Satch plays shows ignorance. Go listen to Eruption, Spanish Fly, and then listen to solos like Jump and Panama and Ice Cream Man.
Ive heard them man. Spanish fly is my favorite van halen song. its as simple as pulling up the the tab or sheet music. just look at it. satch's composition is way more complex, and much harder to play.
I thought it posted the songs i mentioned. I had posted the tab to spanish fly and the satch tab for war so you could see the difference in difficulty and composition, but if you just want a list of things eddie cant play here ya go.
Really? So Eddie tried to play these songs in front of you and failed? That's funny, I should invite him to my house sometime, I didn't know it was that simple.
No im saying that those songs are more difficult than anything he ever recorded, so one would assume hed have to get better to play them. Not that he couldnt after practicing and learning new techniques. Have you heard the songs I wrote? for the love of god is really the only one hed have a chance at being able to pull off in a short amount of time. Eddie is amazing but he is no where near the technical mastery that many of todays best guitarist have achieved.
You can't say that Eddie isn't as good because his songs aren't as complex as Vai's and Satriani's. That's complete ignorance. If Eddie has to practice to play Satch's songs, then Satch has gotta practice to play Eddie's solos.
Im saying that based on live and recorded material that eddies stuff is not as difficult to play as vai or satch's. Im not speculating as to how good a guitarist evh could be with practice, nor satch or anyone else, but i would bet that satch could learn evh stuff faster than evh could learn his.
EVH also lacks the abillity to wright as good as Satch, Petrucci, Vai, Brian Caroll, and countless more. Even though he does write good just doesn't really compare to many other guitarists.
his first two albums are amazin........ its just the 80s production that lets them down......... they sound too electronic....... the songs are amazin tho....... but could be made better if they sounded like say the extremist album which is more of a live sound.
I remember when i first bought this album. My Dad and I listened to the whole thing as we were driving home at night. And now I always associate this song with the thought of going to peacful sleep. Gotta hand it to Joe.
A "complex music" rock fan here just starting to discover this highly-regarded musician. I love this song. But since I'm beginning to explore this guitar whiz, what albums, and what songs should I begin with and invest my money in?
@metallicarox80s Yeah all of his albums will suffice I have all of them and they are just amazing. Especially Is there love in space one of my favorite albums.
I love this song, but I must say I greatly prefer the live version from his Time Traveler double CD. It's probably my favorite Satch song. I think the palm muting on the main riff makes for a much more erie feel. The video from Montreux in 1988 is alot like the audio version on Time Traveler. Go hunt down a copy of the cd if you can it's amazing.
i just got into satch not too long ago (meaning a few days ago lol) but im the kinda guy that likes more upbeat stuff (satch boogie, surfing) any recommendations?

Guys, Eddie, Vai, and Satriani are all "elite guitarists." You could make a reasonable case for any one of them being the greatest ever.
It's pointless to argue over who could play whose material, because they probably could all play each other's material.
The difference is that one of them perhaps could not COMPOSE the style or CREATE the riff or solo.

Really? So Eddie tried to play these songs in front of you and failed? That's funny, I should invite him to my house sometime, I didn't know it was that simple.

No im saying that those songs are more difficult than anything he ever recorded, so one would assume hed have to get better to play them. Not that he couldnt after practicing and learning new techniques. Have you heard the songs I wrote? for the love of god is really the only one hed have a chance at being able to pull off in a short amount of time. Eddie is amazing but he is no where near the technical mastery that many of todays best guitarist have achieved.
pimpunclemo 2 years ago
You can't say that Eddie isn't as good because his songs aren't as complex as Vai's and Satriani's. That's complete ignorance. If Eddie has to practice to play Satch's songs, then Satch has gotta practice to play Eddie's solos.
moviemaker3000 2 years ago
Im saying that based on live and recorded material that eddies stuff is not as difficult to play as vai or satch's. Im not speculating as to how good a guitarist evh could be with practice, nor satch or anyone else, but i would bet that satch could learn evh stuff faster than evh could learn his.

Ok: "bet" is the last verb you use here...I think I can calm down with that instead of you insisting that Satch is best and all that.

EVH also lacks the abillity to wright as good as Satch, Petrucci, Vai, Brian Caroll, and countless more. Even though he does write good just doesn't really compare to many other guitarists.

his first two albums are amazin........ its just the 80s production that lets them down......... they sound too electronic....... the songs are amazin tho....... but could be made better if they sounded like say the extremist album which is more of a live sound.

I remember when i first bought this album. My Dad and I listened to the whole thing as we were driving home at night. And now I always associate this song with the thought of going to peacful sleep. Gotta hand it to Joe.

A "complex music" rock fan here just starting to discover this highly-regarded musician. I love this song. But since I'm beginning to explore this guitar whiz, what albums, and what songs should I begin with and invest my money in?

I wasn't too impressed with "Not of This Earth," but I'll recommend the second album to everyone. I like the third one also.
metallicarox80s 2 years ago

Word. "Surfing" is already one of my favorites, and "Flying" is awesome. The first album was so-so, so I only purchased a few of the songs.

I love this song, but I must say I greatly prefer the live version from his Time Traveler double CD. It's probably my favorite Satch song. I think the palm muting on the main riff makes for a much more erie feel. The video from Montreux in 1988 is alot like the audio version on Time Traveler. Go hunt down a copy of the cd if you can it's amazing.
