[myroad2thezion]

i just found a hagstrom ii on ebay within like 13 seconds.

[zeemonkey187]

@myroad2thezion Find the hagstrom iii.

[scottadair1974]

Yes he'll never read this. But youtube, this guy taught wrote Surfing With The Alien and taught Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett... so I guess, he's influenced me more than any other one player. Lots of us can say that.

[BanannaThug]

"I started out like everyone else, I really sucked."

Somehow... I doubt that.

[futureblade7]

@BanannaThug well, obviously there was a point when he sucked. there's a point where every guitar player sucks! Like, when you first pick up the instrument without really knowing what you're doing!

[epiclife247]

"no more talent beyond this point" lol

[lilronaldihno14]

...recorder. lol

[ShadowLancer128]

There was this ad up on the vid just now. It was a 5 string bass player, modeling for something. I was about to close it when, I said: "No. It's better than having some VEVO ad up there."

[KingofPho75]

i know what he means i felt the same with the cello. i mean i was good but i never like i was progressing.

[nikgottheblues]

as well as Joe does for himself, you'd think he could get a better hat.

[eikik1]

love his wierd hat



[lurima52511]

Whoever bought joe's guitar is one lucky bastard

[Zorlak108]

VOLDEMORT

[deathscythekim729]

Satch has italian roots..

[Emceetem]

I wonder if the guy he gave that guitar is now like "Wow, my friend Joe Satriani gave me his first guitar".

:)

[mossberg451]

ive heard of people that knew him personally say the same he rarely ever practiced when he played on stage that was practice he just had talent i can guarantee theres people today that practiced more than he did and still aint ass good so again fuck off asswipe

[Piotrelek123]

@mossberg451 lol, when i read this, I had this feeling like you're talking about me.. And that's not a joke.

[PinkyWontWork]

@mossberg451 You're a fucking yum yum to 1. fall for that bs and 2. for eating it up..you probably voted for Obama. Any person great at ANYTHING has practiced their asses off to levesl a yum yum like you would never even fathom. To think that ANY human being is born with talent or musical ability is the epitome of stupidity let's assume he was born with talent to create music and come up with it..how about the technical ability to play it? No one is born with that. That takes years of practice.

[mossberg451]

@PinkyWontWork hell no i didnt vote for obama jimi was 27 when he died and could play people under the table what he did then would take people longer than 27 years to come up with so fuck off

[theheavymetalhero]

@mossberg451

Just one thing; Hendrix was/is famous for playing from his heart, playing soulfully. Not technical prowess. His stuff is easy to play, it really is. Complexity and grandiosity (I mean musical grandiosity; his live shows were certainly pretty grandiose) were not his strengths. Rather, he played tastefully, he played with a lot of feeling and he played stuff that the world had literally never heard before.

[167yupy]

@PinkyWontWork your a dickhole do you look at the comments just to find some one to bicker with fuck off!

[theheavymetalhero]

@PinkyWontWork

But, some people catch on to it much more quickly. Some just have that ability to learn and develop skill quickly. I think it depends on what kind of person you are, what your individual strengths are, and also depends on how much you actually enjoy playing and hearing (and making) music. If you love doing it, you will tend to do it more, and as a result, get good at it quickly. I learned to play pretty fast. And, what does politics have to do with it?

[3star2nr]

@mossberg451 have you ever tried playing guitar? You dont just pick it up and be good at it. That's impossible It takes alot ALOT of work and practice.

Unlike alot of instruments playing guitar physically changes you. you have to develop muscles in your hands inorder to play it well, and the tips of your fingers have to harden.

Then there are other factors like finger accuracy coordination etc that takes years to master. Satriani also studied ALOT of music theory.

[mossberg451]

@3star2nr ive been playing for 11 years but ive seen that chinese kid that plays damn good so explain that hes a kid for christ sakes and hes better than most so whats all that years of practice and lessons about

[3star2nr]

@mossberg451 As for Jimi Hendrix it was the same thing, he used to wake up and pretty much play all day. Hendrix didn't study music theory, but he used to play ALL THE TIME. hell a guy that used to live with him said in a documentary about him that He asked hendrix to sweep there apartment, and he would come back and see, pieces of the broom on the floor, later he found out Jimi would be strumming and shredding the broom like a guitar LOL

[mossberg451]

hell if he wasnt playing he was partying

[mossberg451]

he was better than most people older than him he was good from the get go

[jem7vwhgod]

@mossberg451 You are absolutely retarded if you think joe statriani doesn't/didn't practice. Your string of comments made my day... Time to practice!

[PinkyWontWork]

@jem7vwhgod Yes, you have to be a giant of an imbecile to think that.. not just about music but of anything in life. Sports, music, art..anything that a person becomes good at it's because of tons of practice. I too laughed at this fool (mossberg451), too bad I don't know him personally I'd be feeding him BS stories just to get into his house and screw his mother and sister. Hell, if he's that stupid I might even BS him into doing my lawn and cook for me twice a week. lol

[mossberg451]

@PinkyWontWork fuck off jerkwad prick i wasnt talking about js hendrix was who i was talking about

[mossberg451]

thats what i fucking meant he just played the damn thing on stage thats how he practiced no one will ever be as good as him the stage was his practice asshole

[Science1994]

Could you imagine Joe Satriani buying your guitar off ebay lol

"Hi, really interested in your guitar, how much for pp? J.Satrani"

[yamabushi170]

This is a really inspiring moment. I've been playing for about 7 years (purely classical), and have sacrificed countless hours to my practice, always having the feeling that Joe describes. Even though my playing is nothing special, I never feel like I have hit any kind of limit, and my playing steadily improves over time. I guess it's really about having the drive to persist at something you love, despite the hardships along the way. I hope other people found this clip equally motivating. Peace!

[PIMPZproduction]

hendrix use to practice all the time, he never considered it practice though, he alway s had his guitar with him and even slept with it when he was in the army and played the blues 24/7 to express the remorce he had for the passing of his mother

[phillyvinilli]

Sounds like he comes from a nice family.

Nothing like a good foundation to build something great on

[Trexus1989]

thats fuking bullshit BRICK WALL f off u can do everything with a practice!

[LightningPC101]

@Trexus1989 If he was a drummer then we wouldn't have been gifted with the top gun anthem.

[LuneyTune72]

@LightningPC101 You're a dumb ass, Steve Stevens wrote the Top Gun Anthem. You probably just download all your music illegally, with a bunch of songs that either have the wrong name or wrong artist.

[LightningPC101]

@LuneyTune72 I didn't say he wrote it, he did a cover of it. Thanks for jumping down my throat. Yes I realize this post is old, but I had to defend myself against your snide insinuations.

[spuddman123]

God.

[mossberg451]

hm its kinda odd he says to practice everyday hendrix never practiced everyday but he was damn good

[internalpeaceseeker]

@mossberg451

he used to practice everyday before he became famous

[Hardysamnin]

@mossberg451 - Yeah but he wasn't exactly technical. You can reach that level of guitar playing without putting in a lifetime of practice. You can't however, reach this guys level without some hardcore, hands on practice.

[DarkZekeX]

@Hardysamnin thats not fair to Hendrix. Sure, alot of the pieces aren't too difficult to play the notes, but there's alot of subtlety to bring out the expressiveness. Its no less technical than Satriani's work. Just cause its not light speed doesn't make it any less beautiful brilliant music, and to suggest otherwise is foolish.

[YourMateJosh]

@mossberg451

were you there?

[slowJams88]

@mossberg451 how the fuck can you make a comment like that?? Did you know hendrix? You have no fucking idea of Jimis practice routine and that is so fucking retarded to make a claim like you do!

[Gitaristsatch]

@mossberg451 Jeah right. Well If you wanna be come good, and you are not hendriks. You will have to practise to become good.

[1JAT1]

@mossberg451 hendrix practiced 8 hours a day and slept with his guitar. check your facts dumbass

[killertremain]

Yea M.A.B. is just amazing both as a musician and a person, I'm about to purchase the speed kills DVD's just to try and pick up on his style as well as get my fingers on his solos

[ex1le444]

good luck & work hard dude!

[Shawn72Chu]

Joe Satriani was a strict guitar teacher. He would say Practice! Practice! Practice! I one time read in an interview of one of his students Jeff Tyson from T-Ride that he said that Joe once abruptly ended a lesson with a student who didn't practice.

[Minor8Flat4]

wtf is going on with that hat ?

[Piratcykel]

Sweden...We have Yngwie, Ia and Hagström....otherwise....This country is boring

[TXT900]

what was his first guitar

???

[pierredex]

@TXT900 2:36

[meatballllll]

Hagstrom 3

[MistahhB]

I read on Joes site that he got a white Hagström III just like the one he had. A friend of his gave it to him.

[Jed9133]

oh really!

[Freddie88]

Joe is an example of REAL modesty

[eleph4nt]

paul gilbert and him are pretty much the coolest guitar players you can meet

[Andoni666]

and mab is also very modest and hilarious

[kennymontejano]

yes he is

[imshredder]

joe is youngest  yeh

[asta49]

Do you really think Joe Satriani is going to read that? How sad.

[Haseo271]

@asta49 I dunno who your talking to, or what they said, but you don't have to be a dick about it.

[asta49]

You're*

[Haseo271]

@asta49 seriously?

[asta49]

Yeah, I'm that guy.

[Domzdream]

@asta49

hahaha. Watch he actually does.

[haloserb]

try telling him on his site

[ieBrazil]

I adore Y. J. Malmsteen, but this J. Satriani in comparison to him is a great, great, great! wise man (I hope it makes sense in English!).

The way he addresses, the content, the music, the climate etc., he's more than a guitar hero!!!

[MuSiC1992GJ]

he is really wise!

[Eddiewemissyou]

heey, swedsih guitar??

cool!

[beastguitaist]

he taught kirk hammet and marty friedman id say he was a good teacher

[zodiackilla]

And Steve Vai.

[ieBrazil]

nah, S. Vai was something like a friend who did not know how to tune the guitar... not a student, techically speaking.

Anyway, they're the ones!

[jordno]

and steve vai :)

[edward892]

Joe plays guitar "just a little better" than your average Joe......yeah.

[justAnotherINTJ]

wow just hearing him say he sucked blew my mind... you never really think about how the greatest players of all time sucked terribly at one point

[jaztar]

I'm thinking Gilligan. :)

[forsoabba]

HAGSTROM FOR THE WIN!!

[Caconymic]

There's a guitarist named Marten Hagstrom.

[forsoabba]

yeah hes in meshuggah right?

[Eddiewemissyou]

Mårten Hagström?

[dylantaylor36]

i think its kinda kool how he is looking for the same type of guitar he had when he first started

[duckmonsterX]

I would do anything to find a maton phil manning special like the one I learned on. I love my tele and strat, but part of my brain is built for that old guitar. shame it was stolen

[clutchchuck]

he looks like voldemort in the 4th(?) harry potter movie:P nonetheless, he owns on guitar!

[intrnalprimate4ever]

that made me laugh a lot!! LOL...

Lord Satch is the best !

[clutchchuck]

XD well be honest i mean, he really looks alot like voldemort xD

[Andymorrison92]

OMG! Ive never thought that before thats well funny! I will never be able to look at him the same again lmao!

[clutchchuck]

xD same here, Lmao'd when i noticed it xD

[pantalaemon]

really hapy i didnt see that movie...

[clutchchuck]

xD Lol

[togglenuts]

Joe sucked? Hey, he said it not me. I just can't see it.

[elguapostino]

I can't even remember what brand my first guitar was. It was 16 years ago. It was a total piece of shit. But it had the whammy bar and the locking trem so I could dive bomb like Eddie!

[baileycentral]

53, 52, 33, the hell with all that. With his sunglasses on, his looks to be in his mid twenties. To think that we've only got a certain amount of time of his music left is terrifying. MAY JOE LIVE FOREVER!

[Ifyousayso666]

Holy crap!!!!! He's 53!?!?!?!? Goodness, I thought he was atleast in his mid forties!!! He'll inspire people to the grave!!!! He looks kinda wierd without his sun glasses. :)

[an04RoadKing]

I was at the show where this was recorded! Who wants to touch me? I said WHO WANTS TO TOUCH ME?! (Oooohhh....)

[MattRing]

You don't do the dishes or mow the lawn, You just fuck your Uncle all day long!!!!!!!.

[mayiosatch]

i am the owner of his guitar jajaja

[Phishboy26]

How the fuck is this guy 53? He looks so young but rocks with the best.

[peeetrusss]

he looks 33, not 53 :)

[NIKRthelegend]

He's 52 lol n yh I know! I went to see him last year n met hip with one of them backstage tickets ya can buy for meet n greet. He looks at least 20 yeasr younger XD What a legend man! ROCK ON SATCH!

[samsombersimba]

He eats his wheaties and stays clean :D

[GeetarAdam]

Usually I'd say you're right, but I think he looks his age, here. He lookes effin' exhausted.

[URSExelcior]

It's very hard to imagine that someone like Joe used to suck at guitar, heh. I thought he was born with an Ibanez in his hands.

Great inerview, 5 stars.

[turdburper]

Well shit, now EVERYONE will be looking for that guitar LOL

[cauchsi]

Joe the master of guitar!

[Mefodiy8]

не могу понять о чем он говорит.

[Phtysio]

Говорит, что матушка его преподавала, поэтому естественно, что начал преподавать и он.

[Phtysio]

Понимал, что для обучения нужно иметь доступ к информации (книги), наблюдать за игрой других музыкантов. Сказал, что от гитары было чувство, что будет прогресс, от барабанов, казалось ему, толку не будет.

[Phtysio]

Говорит о первой гитаре (шведской), которую продал и потом пытался найти:)

[iliveinmyguitar]

he was so fortunate in his youth

[Ripplin]

I wonder if Joe ever plays drums anymore? He might mess around with them when he's in the studio.

[4Idiots]

He does, watch the professor satchafunkilus studio video.
