Joe Satriani Lesson "The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing"

[D4VEMURR4Y]

oh, man. he actually turns his body, so we can see his hand and not the fingers, and those morons switch to the other camera, anyway.

[srrmmoo]

asyix lach............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!11

[teramasz]

what a lesson, wow ! ;>

[shredmaster100]

that thing he does with his hand on the guitar is amazing never seen anyone else do that before

[TedBluesea]

epic

[Frvrv]

Guys, sorry for the ignorance, but what's the purpose of moving the right hand to the upper part of the neck while playing the arpeggio section?

[shravanrulez]

@Frvrv The right hand basically acts as a string damper, to prevent unwanted strings from ringing out when tapping is performed. Also, it looks pretty badass. :D

[Frvrv]

@shravanrulez Cool. Thanks for answering :)

[KillerGuitar70]

who edited this ? ? ease up on the crack bro .

[dannystuivenberg]

OK, Satriani is now one of my favourite guitarists.

[VanoGT]

Lord Voldemort

[a64tbird]

Guitar Master!!!

[Jamsessionroom1337]

dunn dunn dunn dunn dunn dahhh

WAHHH WAHHH WAHHHH

>:O AHHHH!!!

SHUUTTTTT UUPPPPPP!!!

[shadracastrat]

How to make what should be fun and sound good into maths! I Hate him what the f&%k does it have to do with real music

[peteq1972]

I'm a bit of a slash fan, but he's got fuck all on Satriani, he is the man! Time Machine is a blindin' album.

[jortuno2k]

I voted dislike, not for the content, but because of the terrible sound in the video, and the constant interruptions with those "smart" title clips.

I love Joe. Thumbs up for Joe, down for the overly-edited video.

[AVFC0711]

harry potter made 35 different accounts and disliked this video on all of them!

[mopbrothers]

Does he ever play acoustic?

[Danny94James]

@mopbrothers yes all the time

[GreyGecko94]

So that lick in Mystical Potato Head Groove thing is fuckin awesome.

[QuistTV]

coool

[11anonomys]

...i taught him that.

[pagey069]

I saw Satch play this in Dayton Ohio, on the Flying In A Blue Dream Tour. One of the most thrilling concerts and guitarists to watch. Simply one of the greatest.

[olipickrockgod]

chugchugchugchugchugchugchug ... dooo. dooooo. dooooooooooo!!!

Ah fuck off!

[Voiderify]

meeeellttttdown on the blues solo... i literally gasped for breath...it just came so effortlessly

[BlackBeThyName]

Fuckin stupid editing, Satch turns the guitar so we can see the bending from a different angle and what a genious.. switch to the other cam with the disgusting black and white..

[AJtheGuitarist38]

I just love when he says "If you just look at my hand here," the camera ignores what he's trying to show. (Which is for his forearm than hand)

[AJtheGuitarist38]

@AJtheGuitarist38 Sh*t. I meant more his forearm than hand. e_e

[elmingodotcom]

hes cheating lol

[TheChad326]

34 people suck at guitar

[Xsebyslaughter1]

god i love him

[LedZepGuitarman]

Joe Satriani is the Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing!

[trendsettingdesign]

I TOTALLY agree with Harry Spider 2. The ridiculous number of interrupting title screens with chugga guitar backing is infuriating. It interrupts the instruction, and makes it impossible to learn anything from these videos. Please, ewhguitarist, PLEASE convince your bosses to stop putting those interruptions in the content. Ask any web designer or user experience designer, and they'll agree: interruptions are bad.

[ewhguitarist]

@trendsettingdesign those interruptions are nothing to do with me! It's just from a total guitar magazine dvd!

[trendsettingdesign]

@ewhguitarist Oh, sorry! I thought you were working for Total Guitar or something. Guess I should have looked more closely. Thanks for posting these! Maybe I'll send a request to Total Guitar to take out those interruptions!

[ewhguitarist]

@trendsettingdesign No problem! i know it's irritating, they should just show more of uninterrupted Satch!

[adityajayaswal]

@trendsettingdesign chugga guitar backing lolz nice

[rexasul]

Wendy Smith is a fucking cunt.

[spagbog1q2w]

Voldemort is sick at guitar !

[kaplanjoedudugames]

Oh My God,Voldemort !!

[bigchode111]

thumbs up for bigchode

[HarrrySpider]

for the love of gawd STOP BREAKING INTO THAT "ROCK MUSIC INTERLUDE" thing AND JUST LET HIM PLAY/EXPLAIN... crikey, do you think people who would watch this are so bored that they need those little chunga-chunga-chunga bits jabbed in sideways? Fire the editor of this vid, please...

[Dangilman]

These video segments suck. Might as well just watch a live performance and avoid the interruptions since nothing is taught to you anyway.

[HansGuitarX]

He is the Mystical Potato Head

[MagnumBullets47]

Whats the name of that technique at 0:50 to 0:54?? Someone could help me out??

[dann3th3manni3]

@MagnumBullets47 Legato technique. Joe is hammering-on all the notes with his fretting hand. You can also think of it as one-handed tapping.

[MagnumBullets47]

@dann3th3manni3 oh yeah?? I´ll try that. Thanks.

[sonicthehedgehogxp]

he could use passive pick ups and not worry about noise ;P

[shango02005]

@nom1girandzimfan I read it. I am not doing it. Look for me in the Florida obituaries in a few days and if I am dead, come to my grave and spray paint "it worked!" in hot pink on my head stone. This is my final wish and if you don't complete this task within 43 hours you will have the shits for your remaining years on earth!

I love it! LOL!!

[ironfan24]

@nom1girandzimfan i couldnt help but laugh out loud lol

[BaneOfXistence4]

It's amazing how he can just name the scales he used without really thinking or having to remember them. B minor 11. D Lydian Arpeggio. lol

[101fattie]

joe sactriany rules but he shows off

[elbalajazz]

stupid cameraman ! 

[Kingddd333]

GOD DAMMIT WENDY SMITH

[BrunBacken]

Hmm.. "when im rockn it", looked like "when im Jerking it".

[frr3esq]

he looks kinda like tom morello

[bulldog1202017]

uncle fester?......

[FlyKingRy]

I'm thinkin' :Frankenstein" whaddwe gonna do to keep this man alive for another 100 years??"

[BeroBoy09]

his fingers need to be booked for speeding

[SJ9495]

And I thought I was the only one that sounded like that! LOL (at 1:24)

[substantialjames]

Voldemort wears Satch pyjamas :-)

[TheWahoo95]

that transition music is ridiculous! So long, loud, and unnecessary!

[inloth88]

@TheWahoo95 You are clearly a douche, try'na balls on Satch.

[TheWahoo95]

@inloth88 Anyone can tell that that transition music was not recorded by Satch, it was recorded by those guys to make the video "cool" when it's really just obnoxious and loud

[inloth88]

@TheWahoo95 oh. i totally didn't even read your comment. you're right, douche.

[BYABiology]

looks like scorpion king's enemy

[21Placebo]

what technique is it called when he does that one hand tapping thing? is it just advanced legato

[VinnasBR]

@21Placebo its called HAMMER-ON FROM NOWHERE, and its used a lot by people like Greg Howe, R. Kotzen, McAlpine among many

[patrick11deutsch]

Put on your glasses please! Hahahahahahaha!

[cpthobby]

great

[DarkZpartan9]

now i understand why he always uses glasses

[mrmattownage]

chris bailey

[deathscythekim729]

ack!!...aack!!..aaaCKK!!! xD

[estacadugan]

Un guitarrista inflado con truquitos pero de una técnica dudosa.

[Marcosgroso07]

@estacadugan Cómo se nota que no conoces a este guitarrista.

[Death8498]

The camera person is retarded, hes trying to show his forearm action for the bend, cause its all forearm for vibrato on a bend like hes showing, but nope, the dumbass follows his hand hahahaha

[slayeruiop]

@Death8498 he proball just amazed hes in JOE SAtRIANI"S presence

[Death8498]

@slayerui Haha that would seem to be valid explanation

[Ele3tricEye]

@Death8498 cameraman probably dosnt play guitar

[MagnumBullets47]

@Death8498 Satriani turns to one side to show the movement with the forearm, and the retarded cameraman turns to his side too..... X )



[Death8498]

@MagnumBullets47 I know, thats what I was pointing out. Its obvious the cameraman didn't know shit about guitar, and was just paid for this. Fucking retard. I'm surprised the people who edited this weren't like, "what the fuck were you thinking here?" Hahaha.

[VyrasVargrPK]

@Death8498 the camera person is also the editor -.- ...

[LOKOLOKO52]

@Death8498 ...

[dahudge14]

Why does his right hand hold the neck when he does that? Or is it just cosmetic?

[firebird0u812]

@dahudge14 He explains why he does that @ 1:20

[dahudge14]

@firebird0u812

Oh should've watched the whole video, my bad. So he's just muting it? Or is he barring the strings or something?

[mozzy2410]

@dahudge14 - Dude, the video goes for 2 minutes and 37 seconds - watch it and learn, for fuck's sake! He TELLS you why, and even shows you why!

[JacknifeSoprano92]

He looks weird without his shades...

[sReelous]

His left arm must be fuckin buff to be able to tap those scales so fast

[xGuitarStianx]

But Voldemort cant be Joe Satriani, cuz then Voldemort could just rape the whole Galtvort with his massive guitar skills :D

[theguitarmegasite]

awesome technique!!! if you need tips on playing or gear or anything guitar, check out theguitarmegasite(dot)com

[TechnicalDifficult]

Is that a JS1000 or a JS1200?

[jockerj]

@TechnicalDifficult JS1200

[wisesatyr72]

man alot of work to play fancy

[xXBuccinOXx]

satriani could be voldemort on harry potter except his wand would probably be a guitar that shoots lazerz

[RapuCrab]

Satch's thoughts: FUCK i'm cool.....

[Tacomadome24]

Ugh; i guess ill stick to stairway to heaven.

[deathscythekim729]

satch for me has the best bluesy techniques! he's my number 2 fave guitar hero!

[CarvinTone]

at least he had sense enough to shave his head more so than sport a bald spot with long hair. Go Uncle Fester, burn it. That riff on MPHGT just blows my mind. Maybe if I work with this for a year I can get it. Dig the new VOX JS Dist!!!!k

[jonp347]

Good video. I just wish it gave more detailed instruction.

[skiggety]

Every time Satch turns to show his bending technique from the side, they switch cameras to prevent it!

[wnkghormley]

soooooo tired of the stupid theme of tg/tv. not worth watching videos with that crap cutting into the video every freakin minute.

[emmanuelrodulfo]

saTch is the coolest guitaRist, his baldness(no offense) maKes hm look cooler aNd weAring shades.

[Kingddd333]

I can do the arpeggios slightly perfectly [been practicing them for a year], but I STILL can't get the very very last arpeggio where it hits an e for the last note

[xo1tom1ox]

Im tryin to memorize all my modes, Ionian, Dorian, Phyrgian, Mixolidian, Aeolian, Locrian and back to Ionian. Weird names but once u memorize all of them you will be able to put them togther and shred it out like the satch:P

[ibek1200]

It takes a lot of imagination to call it a lesson :) Not my level anyway :(

[Nanphysical]

joe satriani really suckss ...

[emmanuelrodulfo]

lydian 11th OMG dunno what he's sayin. how can  learn that

??

[BLUEScrazy]

@emmanuelrodulfo lydian is a major scale with the fourth note in it raised. satch uses it a lot to make himself sound like satch.

go find a book or something on scales and their various modes (lydian is one of the modes) trust me you won't be dissapointed :D

[emmanuelrodulfo]

@BLUEScrazy thanks

[ZomBLord]

@emmanuelrodulfo Music theory books.

[hipermandan]

try watching it with captions

[NavaJane]

A lesson fot that?...wtf

JS is a great guitarist and musician, but that's bullshit.

PS: I <3 u Joe!

[v1ct0rhug00]

he's not alone...KKKK

[dizzygunner]

camera mans a fuckin idiot at the end he turned on the side to we can see his arm fool

[nakenftw]

i taught him that

[uavspotted]

knew it, you fuckin rock

[Da0wN3R]

Same

[marcelosoy1]

@nakenftw and i taught it to you lmao

[ShredWithMe1]

@nakenftw lmfaooo

[guitarconasor]

@nakenftw Correction. You delivered his pizza.

[TechnicalDifficult]

@guitarconasor haha

[bojangals634]

thank you joe, i learned this in a minute and i am so happy now

[Soulbind1]

That's a tite technique - I never thought you could use your right hand to mute the strings; nice!

[lpenrike]

why cant i play like that? T_T

[bhzrdrs4]

we are shit xd

[coal1987]

i never thought that the right actually played a vital part for the trick.

[n3iyr]

Makes it look so easy. Oh, ya, that's all. Nothing to it. RIGHT

[ighfee]

watching joe explain how he plays is like wtching penn and teller explain magic tricks. you get the general idea but you are immediately humbled by the dexterity of the performance.

and you know you'll never be as good.

[trixie10121]

I Am The Greatest Guitarist Ever Hands Down...LMAO:)

[MetalMessiah211]

he is really "not of this earth",oh man!

No one can copy him

[15208ad200]

Satriani melody has the name

[Blazerdsx]

1:07-1:14 daaaaamn

[Mood8]

he looks like " he who must not be named" :D

[AKHalex]

Adolf Satriani :D

[MrSRV94]

when he said : "it's quiet" oh my god i love it!!! <3 hah!

[georizzo]

the foolish cameramen change the shot when he's trying to show the fulcrum effect of his hands.

"good job."

[ThatRandomGuy325]

i wish i had started playing sooner. oh well at least i started. 16 yrs aint so bad.

[1JdA1]

what kind of guitar is he playing?

[jztelussa]

one of his signatures: JS1200

[Mr09JIVE]

..hoping that one day you will teach me your secrets or magics as a guitarist.

[m11gtr]

Mystical is freaking SICK!

[ConnorShawMusic]

[eronkimizu]

[kierungg]

JOE BALD-EMORT

[razormusik]

Best. Song. Name. Ever.

[Jokerwithnoise666]

its' only a crummy sound cause it's probley some little practice amp with the greatness of satch tearing some shit up .

that's all that's to it really ...

[leopower7]

Joe Voldemortiani

[lpenrike]

???

[SylentKayos]

wow.... such sensitive pickups...

[d3m0nsh4v0]

Correction.. Voldermort looks like The satch..

[Kurrenable]

HES SO BALD



[twiggyh4x]

@Kurrenable Your balls are

[Kurrenable]

@twiggyh4x Gay youtube user is gay

[twiggyh4x]

@Kurrenable LOL!

Gotta admit that was a pretty sweet call ;D

[ConspX]

@d3m0nsh4v0 Yeah but while voldemort is not a real lord, the satch is the real lord of guitar

[pinkcheesey101]

he improvises large poertions of his songs live, check made of tears 2006 and watch the second solo (Y)

[boundtogetdown]

"streched and relaxed"

im confused

[kurtdaniotep]

he means your fingers, keep them stretched out but keep it comfortable so you don't injure your hands trying to do something that you can't.

[tat2zack]

translation: lots of practice ;)

[JuanGarcia827]

what the hell is he doing with his pick from 0:50 - 1:02???

[lovescarguitar]

that's just a matter of opinion. my opinion, a good guitarist can play with and without a pick. whatever the situation calls for. but thats just my opinion.

[TheDoodMan]

You missed the whole point. Everyone knows that the best guitarists do picking, finger picking, chicken pickin' and hybrid picking. I was pointing out the fact that he was pick-less to the person wondering what he did with his pick, which wasn't there.

[infectionsman]

its called legato and it is just not as simple as playing without a pick....

[gorefinder]

i guess he plays with his nails

[pinkcheesey101]

lol what?
