Guitar playing real playing is something that comes from the hart JH played great because he was born to play .now not every one has the mojo to play I my self play and don't think I'm the best out there lol but Joe is right just play what sounds good to u and invent your own sound it's there u just have to find it peace out .
Satch you're the best man, but don't feed me that Hendrix garbage. He is good because of all that effort. If his body of work was a catalogue of sloppy Hendrix crap, no one would have cared or tried to emulate him.
Make sure you pay close attention to the part after he states that he walked away from the methodical approach. He clearly states that he spent years developing scales and tecyhnique so as he puts it, it's easy to say that he walked away from all that. What he's saying, I feel, is that you need to learn the methodology and learn it well, then learn to break the rules.
@Maestrp37388 That's a perfect way of putting it, man. Thanks for that input! It's definitely encouraging to me as a player who's been doing rhythm for 12 years, and just now breaking into a book to learn scales and develop dexterity.
Your entitled to your own opinions on guitar players, but @marceluuuuuu is right everyone has different tastes so there's no competition. Guitarists who play fast are people who just want to master everything within the craft of playing the instrument like bending, legato, alternate picking, arpeggio runs, slides, vibrato etc. So just enjoy the music that pleases you most.
@Kashmir70 Nah. Slash is better. Sach never wrote anything worth remembering. All his songs sound like a "Guitarists guide on how to such and such" and not real music.
@thisismynamehahaha Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking after reading your first reply. I guess I left that last one because I thought it was fitting.
@Sunderlanding Writing and playing music is very different. Maybe Slash can wrote better songs but if you know anything about guitar playing you can clearly see that Satch is better.
@YoLpIsBest He's more technical yes, but who cares? Technique is only good if you use it to make bad ass music like Slash does. I'd rather listen to an awesome song with a good guitarist then a borinig song with a fast guitarist.
@YoLpIsBest Oh the ignorance is great. People who don't know shit trying to make fun of someone. First off there is nothing wrong with E min pentatonic (or any pentatonic). Playing it doesn't make you less of player. Secondly he used a lot of other scales. Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Harmonic Minor, Major Pentatonic, Mixolydian. Thirdly, who cares if Satch can play it. Anyone can play it once it's been done. Lot's of people can play like Satch, does that make him irrelevant?
@YoLpIsBest Exactly, so the technical thing doesn't really matter, because neither one is that advanced that there aren't thousands of players who can emulate them, so you have to look at musicianship. Slash has recorded more classic solos and written more classic riffs, and had a bigger influence on the music community. That makes him the better musician.
Because one can measure the "goodness" of beeing a musician
On the level of Satch and Slash, it comes down to taste not who is better. It was two years ago that i came in contact with Joe's music. I was so blown away from his Summer Song that i went to the next guitar shop and bought my basic equipment. No guitar player ever was able to inspire me the way joe did . So to me, Satch is far superior when it comes down to song writing than slash. But that is a matter of taste ;)
Every Joe Satriani Song is a fuckin' WORK OF ART! It's the most technical scales and skills melt into beautiful Melodies, SATCH TOTALLY RULES THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!
@jossy2112 omg..... just because u cn alternate pick or economize pick doesn mean tht ur an intense player hahahah what am i wasting my time replying this for no point talking to a person who will never comprehend music
@jockerj I'm sorry but I comprehend more than you do about music, Joe Satriani fanboy.
I like Joe Satriani (on a couple of albums. The Extremist and Surfing With The Alien for example, and I have all of them). And I'm sorry, but his legatos annoy me. His playing is dull, boring....Kirk Hammett has easier to play solos, but on for example ride the Lightning....THOSE are melodies. I cant believe I'm cheering for Hammett and in a J.S. vid.
If you're wasting you time...WHY THE FUCK TO YOU REPLY???
@jaymzosborne111 Kirk didn't write any of the songs but he did write his own solos. And i was mentioning here about his solos, which i find very melodic, especially on RTL.
And yeah, Satriani did teach Kirk a few techniques, which is the reason I was mentioning Kirk in this thread...
@jossy2112 Right, so why dont you go watch the kirk hammet live improv, and then a video of satch, and see if kirk doesnt make his marshall/messa boogie stack sound like pure horse shit
oh, and it was actually dave mustaine that wrote the ride the lightning solo. there are bootlegs of the ride the lightning solo being played (the entire song, actually) before kirk joined the band.
@jossy2112 these are the real players, joe and petrucci get on here and they dont show off because they dont need to, and they explain everything perfectly
@jossy2112 thts y i said i was wastiny my time replying to you hahaha well if u didn like joe satchs playing y the hell did u fucking wtch the vid in the first place goddamn troll . i seriousrly respect every1 opinion and i understand tht every has different taste in music so y the hell r u trolling on js fanboys videos ??? go support hammet in his other vids dun troll here and start mouthing off ppl who appreciate a virtuoso like j.s just so u noe hammet happens to be a student of js anyway
@jockerj You troll, go read the other posts before mouthing stupidity. I ALREADY MENTIONED HE WAS A STUDENT OF JS. It doesn’t matter if you’re a student of a virtuoso but you still play better melodies, does it?? I don’t even care for Hammett. I just mentioned that EVEN HIS melodies are better. Typical moron fanboy who reply defensively about their little idols. Again!! Satriani IS better than Hammett, as he is widely, a virtuoso but his playing and technique are fucking DULL. Idiot little boy!
@Puertorico2494 So should I play as good as him before I can judge some video on its boringness and dullness? I am definitely not as good as him, yet too bad he remains a dull player.
ever heard of the pitch axis theory? who's playing and technique is dull again? kirk doesn't have the slightest amount of technique, and hardly ever plays any good melodies. joe is a master of powerful melodies and complicated theory and techniques. once again, look up the pitch axis theory, it proves my point.
I find I play best when I don't worry about theory, scales, etc. Even though I believe you must learn to expand your repertoire as not to become boring.I think Joe mixes soul with technique as well as anyone except maybe Steve Vai who I greatly admire. Theory is great if you can make it work for you. I think you practice a lot of different things ,like he says, so you can call on what you want ,when you want.

@NixxerJixxerWixxer its pretty evident that it would be impossible to imrove on a subject where one has no skill. kirk needs to learn how to play guitar before he can start improving on it
@Ozznize i disagree because i think he can play good, he just cant write anything good or probably hear anything good, which is why his metallica solos sound like that and why he uses so much wah but he can still play good, just no music or feel
@NixxerJixxerWixxer Kirk actually left the Satch lessons as one of the most original and terrifying lead players on the thrash scene. his blistering ultra emotional lead breaks on Blackened, Battery, Shortest Straw, Fade to Black and Call of Kthulu were nothing short of genius. wah drenched legato runs, tapping, space age noises, double stops, and hints of be-bop, jazz phrasing as well as Hendrix style psychedelia made him perfect for the dissonant and atonal Heltfield.
@megaluisdeth are you kidding? bob rock ruined kirk hammett by convincing him to slow down, adopt a 'bluesy' feel, and he basically tried to turn kirk into Santana. screw the legato, the ultra sonic stylings of metallica's heyday and a huge part of their signature - but he had change, because he'd already convinced james to 'sing' and play slower and shorter riffs (because the ones on Justice were too complex for our retarded brains), and he forced lars to play like phil rudd of acdc. you dig?
@loknloll Kirk also took lessons from Yngwie Malmsteen...you can notice his influence on the Ride the Lightning album and somewhat on Master of Puppets.
Joe's teaching technique is amazing. He's been doing it for years and knows just how to describe ideas. Even in this lesson he has things for both beginners and experienced guitarists alike to pick up on. BUT, my left hand is tired of guitar shredding for now. Off to my piano.
Great video, thanks! Joe's the Man. Last saw him with Chickenfoot at the Greek Theater, Berkeley, Ca. When he steps up and on it, it's serious business. Love that he lays his stuff out so openly for others to learn from. His love for music is a magnet for music everywhere. Thanks again!
i like the way he plays massively complicated phrases with the easiest of effort and then when he is explaining how to do it technically the stuff he plays is incredibly simplified. lol
@thehiatusprt he was actually offered the job to act as voldemort. the reason was because the makeup wouldnt have taken long. it didnt happen though because joe was asking a paycheck that was a bit too high for the films budget. you can check the story if it seems too unreal xD
my lagado and pull offs in particular sound really bad. they just get quieter and notes go from being quiet to loud to quiet and just sounds inconsistent
did or does anyone else have this frustrating problem and how did you solve it?
play slower, try to emphasize the pull-offs and hammer-ons ... you'll develope strenght ... also, using a compressor will help but I think it's better to be able to do without any ...
did you mean legato? Practice slowly, speed will eventually come after you can do it with ease on slow tempo. What gauge of string are you using? it also could be the height of your string, the higher your string, the harder to play legato.
yeah my spelling sucks but im starting to get the hang of basic legato now iv just got a new guitar and the guy i brought it off had 9gauge strings on it they feel alot better for lead thanks for replying anyway :)
you know, hearing him talk about freeform expression after years of mastering all styles reminds me of another master of his art... Bruce Lee. To master all forms and eventually become formless.
I think Satriani is one of the best. he is awesome. 5/5
PLEASE go to my favs and click on SUBURBAN GUY ROCKIN OUT
he doesnt read music, really feels what he plays and improvises the songs as he goes along. the other 2 favs are him also ARIEL (awesome shredding) and ARIEL SIMANTOV (awesome sweeping) pls view comment and rate them as we think he deserves recognition thanks everyone!
thanks for the upload.i cannot play very well but i always thought that there must be a technique to playing fast as well as lots of practice,and mr satriani has explained it ,economy of motion and lightness of touch and as little tension in the hand as poss.i think that was what he was saying.but by thors hammer it will take a lot of work for me to start to do that.better start practicing
lol all tequnices r ok, and none are more important than the other...thats pretty cool and respectable, treating ur axe like it is the person that it should be

Satriani is such a great teacher. He explains what he does so easily.

@thehiatusprt HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT NAME!!! haha

@thehiatusprt he was actually offered the job to act as voldemort. the reason was because the makeup wouldnt have taken long. it didnt happen though because joe was asking a paycheck that was a bit too high for the films budget. you can check the story if it seems too unreal xD

my lagado and pull offs in particular sound really bad. they just get quieter and notes go from being quiet to loud to quiet and just sounds inconsistent
did or does anyone else have this frustrating problem and how did you solve it?
ryanroolz2 2 years ago 5
play slower, try to emphasize the pull-offs and hammer-ons ... you'll develope strenght ... also, using a compressor will help but I think it's better to be able to do without any ...

did you mean legato? Practice slowly, speed will eventually come after you can do it with ease on slow tempo. What gauge of string are you using? it also could be the height of your string, the higher your string, the harder to play legato.

thanks for replying
yeah my spelling sucks but im starting to get the hang of basic legato now iv just got a new guitar and the guy i brought it off had 9gauge strings on it they feel alot better for lead thanks for replying anyway :)

you know, hearing him talk about freeform expression after years of mastering all styles reminds me of another master of his art... Bruce Lee. To master all forms and eventually become formless.

I think Satriani is one of the best. he is awesome. 5/5
PLEASE go to my favs and click on SUBURBAN GUY ROCKIN OUT
he doesnt read music, really feels what he plays and improvises the songs as he goes along. the other 2 favs are him also ARIEL (awesome shredding) and ARIEL SIMANTOV (awesome sweeping) pls view comment and rate them as we think he deserves recognition thanks everyone!

thanks for the upload.i cannot play very well but i always thought that there must be a technique to playing fast as well as lots of practice,and mr satriani has explained it ,economy of motion and lightness of touch and as little tension in the hand as poss.i think that was what he was saying.but by thors hammer it will take a lot of work for me to start to do that.better start practicing
