Joe Satriani Plays "Summer Song" at Sweetwater

[Devoidize]

Everybody knows Jack Shit! More popular than the Pope!

[JapJackson]

It seems with age Joe just makes it look easier and easier, he outclasses so many virtuosos on pure substance alone.

[12marioroxsoeven]

Monster of game themes

[noller25]

have seen him live few y ago damm he rocks

[kuglagerfeld]

He surely is the best

[jonnyfish76]

whaaaaat?!

[nati60606]

this is a workshop not a performance

the"idiot" crowd are on the other side of the spectrum meaning

they are all players

or musicians

the awe factor is for people who are not there yet

[marky1000100]

yeah gonza its satch the crowd are dead idiots

[jefftormey]

How can the audience just sit there perfectly still? This guy ROCKS!

[Lordschaft1313]

Love joey music so much and he is my rule model! And this guitar looks awesome!!

[jimmyleppard6]

a year before I started to listen to satch, he was in my country performing and since then, he became my idol and he's the reason why I play guitar today. But, the thing is, since then he hasn't come to my country. what a shame. I would give anything to see him live.

[DanielVieiraGuitar]

@jimmyleppard6 went to his concert last year...it was one of the best concerts i've been to :D

[deudox]

esse bota a guitarra pra falar!!!

[todaynottomorrowband]

very cool

[mirkopetrincic]

vaka vaka

[UltimaRedFireEskimo]

Such control over the guitar. Always impresses me, seeing Satch.

[rjdioforever]

Guess 3 people don't know a good tune from their arsehole... way to go Satch!

[gonzalojwasssermann]

the crowd sucks!!! for music's sake, it's Satch.

[E1p0tat0k1ng]

@gonzalojwasssermann its a workshop...

[EarthCore1010]

@gonzalojwasssermann actually I think they've just isolated joe, the backing track and the guitar he's playing here so you wouldn't hear the crowd.

[EarthCore1010]

@gonzalojwasssermann actually scratch that I just saw them, i should really WATCH the video...

[oreobr]

I use to play this song like, then i took an arrow in the knee

[MrU2guitar]

4:15 4:25 WTF?????????????????????

[Guitarfreak4711]

@MrU2guitar ? Whats wrong??

[MrU2guitar]

@Guitarfreak4711 What's that? I mean, the way he plays 

[gigatronicdeth]

he goes all marty mcfly at 5:00 !

[Gaetano1185]

Imagine you to go on stage and play like that to your audience...Wow.

[6StringCrunch]

Geez I'd give my left nut to play like that.

[KatincakNyentet]

Aing pisan euy .. mang guitar na jang urang lah ...da bageur ....

[dilzas23]

[ptij0404]

MUST GET THAT GUITAR SOUND!

[farkkis]

Thank You !

[BetaPerseiPooper]

0:40: the proof Satriani is a ninja.

[striky1488]

This fucking Freak ...

[KhidirD2K]

i only can do from 0:39 - 0:40. The rest are just too hard...hahaha

[dumecawi]

OMG!!!! youre the best,, i wish know play 0,0001% what u know!!

[dt17566]

AWESOME!!! Wasn't expecting him to use a Marshall, although it's not a whole lot different... Same tubes, 12AX7 preamps and EL34 power tubes. But still, WOW!!!

[nelsonsxs]

when i grow up i want to be like joe satriani XD

[soopermich]

is this audience comes from arctica or one of the mars' moons?

[mgigkgeg]

This is so cheesy and boring!

[zomgitzakitteh]

@mgigkgeg lol shut up troll.

show proof your better if you dont like him

[mgigkgeg]

@zomgitzakitteh I didn't say I was better, I don't even play guitar! I was just voicing my opinion, you don't have to be better than someone at something not to like it. But there is a reason why he is not very well known amongst non-guitarists and that is because he makes dull, emotionless music that may be technically good but is just boring as sin to listen to because it is so dated and cheesy. Also, it is 'you're' not 'your' for future reference so you don't come off as a nonce.

[zomgitzakitteh]

@mgigkgeg emotionless? if you think he has no emotion than you arent very creative. the reason anyone would think its cheesy is because its just him showing off how good he is at guitar. but he has to do that to make his music. and hes not showing off technical all the time. his songs "Cryin" and "A love eternal" are very emotional and are both in only 1 or 2 keys. Why dont you show me some of your favorite music? And Steve Vai and Mettalica dont count.

[satchfan2010]

@mgigkgeg You know jack shit about Satch. You have no understanding of what it takes to get to that level of brilliance.

[MetalGuitarist96]

he is the best guitarist in the world!!

[Shazeen82]

A bit different sound with Marshall...

[sixslinger]

the seats should be reserved for guitarists! not grandma and grandpa!!!

[PsyberCelt]

I love Satch - have for a long while. So is this an audience of zombies or WHAT?

[marcio421]

waka waka sound!

[CPDMedia]

dislike bar?? i don't see any dislike bar xD

[LuminousGuy]

This is now my favourite recording of this track. saved to FAVOURITES !! :)

[countroshculla]

There's an audience there? What a bunch of dullards! I would have been yelling and stomping my foot and headbanging!

[Rockguitargrunge]

yeah!!!



[MCguit88]

Sharp!!!

[LuminousGuy]

I really like this version. The tone suits the song very well.

[MichPL96]

Fuck my ass. He is surely the best...

[skimam]

@MichPL96 don´t support this "he´s the best shit" he´s one of the best, yeah, but not THE best, no one is...

[jigmesam]

Heartbreak High? :)

[canericankev]

man alive, where can we get Joe's dvd's of these shows he puts on? he is he most talented axe man around, one bad Hombre! :-)

[bryansarmientobh]

the song is not boring, but this version is not "LOUD", I don't know how to explain, maybe is the backing track, but this version is really a kind of boring, if you disagree ok, but just try to see him live at san francisco ( for example), it's way different, love satriani albuns and stuff, and he is playing great in this video but for watching 100 times I prefer a full band live version

[MrAppolo777]

Hell u can make a whole summer Movie with this song, I can see the scenes that would fit perfectly with this song on the background.

[WhatIsThePrice]

i feel summer

[Sethummms]

Boring.

[jimmyleppard6]

@Sethummms if it's boring, how come he was nominated for a grammy award 14 times? go listen to your rap and justin bieber, sucker. JOE PWNS

[Sethummms]

@jimmyleppard6 Hey you little butt hurt piece of shit. I don't listen to rap or justin beiber. I'm not a 10 year old little fucker that doesn't know what music is. I listen to good music with meaning. I listen to bands like The Wonder Years, Mxpx, Man Overboard, all, The Decedents, The Smiths, Morrissey, and Polar Bear Club. Maybe when you start listening to music that stands for something or has a real moving message you can start to bitch but other wise shut the fuck up and don't assume.

[jimmyleppard6]

@Sethummms Excuse me? I'm a musician myself. I listen to music which you've probably never heard about. I also listen to almost every genre of music that exists for a quite a long time and I can tell, without ''bitching'', that I know what is ''good music''. Of coruse, everybody is entitled to their opinions and in music, there is no such thing as best or worse, so your comment ''Boring'' is only your opinion. Not a fact. So, your ''moving message'' bands don't impress me at all. Good day.

[Sethummms]

@jimmyleppard6 All these guitar "gods" play the same boring garbage. They shouldn't have to impress you because you say you "know good music". If you know good music you would listen to it. I can hardly see something being good with out meaning or true feeling. This is music is just showoff hey look what I can do garbage.

[jimmyleppard6]

@Sethummms Oh, please. Joe is one of the most talented guitarists out there when it comes to rhythm and melody ideas. This is just one of the types of songs that joe can make. Did you listen to his ''Always with me, always with you'' song? Or ''Circles'', ''If I could fly'', ''Searching'', ''Revelation''? I guess you have no background about Satch. And you give me advice about music. You who judge Satch over one song that is pure rocking..C'mon, man..Seriously.

[MrBroodjewarmvlees]

@Sethummms Thank you for your opinion. Now STFU and GTFO

[Sethummms]

@MrBroodjewarmvlees Douche.

[MrBroodjewarmvlees]

@Sethummms Yes we all can tell you need one

[Sethummms]

@MrBroodjewarmvlees Butt hurt.

[MrBroodjewarmvlees]

@Sethummms Ooh, your butt hurts! That explains why you're complaining so much!

[Sethummms]

@MrBroodjewarmvlees You're the dudes on the defense butt hurters all I said was this is boring and you all had a shit fit.

[VoyagerAbove]

@Sethummms He plays countless eight notes with an almost vocal and very bluesy nature to them and you call it showing off? Nothing even remotely neoclassical either. Did you even listen to the music, or did you just pause it at 0:01 and decide to leave a comment?

[Sethummms]

@VoyagerAbove For real this classic guitar shit sounds the same and I feel no emotion. I watched the video and listened closely now stop being so butt hurt.

[VoyagerAbove]

@Sethummms No classical guitar. Just blues.and rock.

[Sethummms]

@VoyagerAbove Still generic and lame. Stop being butt hurt.

[VoyagerAbove]

@jimmyleppard6 Rap isn't bad. MAINSTREAM rap is bad. Listen to Emmanuel Jal. Listen to De La Soul's 3 Feet High an Rising or the Beastie Boy's Hello Nasty. The problem with rap is that ALL of it suffers from the stereotype that Gangsta Rap (with violence and misogyny) has set or it. There's more to the genre than that. A lot more.

[MrBroodjewarmvlees]

@VoyagerAbove HOw about Run DMC? ;-) Those guys ro-... umm rap!

[swlabr21]

Does anyone else worry that when Satriani plays fast atoms might split and cause an explosion?

[Rudee66]

Terrible editing with the camera changes.

[milander007]

To all the peeps dissing the audience - you do realize that to really really appreciate a song you need to LISTEN to it, that's why they aren't screaming and shouting appreciation DURING the song. They have the maturity to sit back and enjoy it unlike many of you posting here. The applause at the end IS enthusiastic.

Oh yeah I'm over 40 and grew up with some of the greatest rock music ever to be created.

[TheAxe4Ever]

What the hell is the matter with the audience? They're sitting there looking like "I'm afraid it's just too darn loud" (Huey Lewis, Back to the Future) They look like Neil Diamond would be more their speed. I guess they're just not into awesome guitar playing.

[liamzuid]

It surprises me how I only play this song when it's getting warmer lol.

Got to listen to this more often =p

[AJSoundbytes]

Does anyone have any Idea where to get that SATRIANI like cap ???? Just love em.... i have been looking for it since ages........couldn't find anywhere......

[UnnamedUnplugged]

effin' guitar master!!!!!!love it

[metachozoite]

3:36

WTF are they doing with their hands!!! :O

[MrZerox123]

@metachozoite lol

[PokieDalekCollector]

@metachozoite wanking to the beat!!! XD

[MrU2guitar]

@metachozoite You have to masturbate yourself lots of times to play as fast as Joe.

[Guitarfreak4711]

@metachozoite LOL xD

[sportsportsport]

During the performance, I like the variation of shots, yet the fading led me to believe it was ending every time haha!

[robibm2003]

Looking at that audience, it appears that they didn't let anyone in who wasn't at least 40.

[metachozoite]

@robibm2003 because most people under 40 dont know who he is... :""""(

[helrazr84]

That head doesn't appear to be a run of the mill JVM..It has a gold Marshall logo and either a gold or chrome faceplate, maybe chrome knobs too. Can't tell. Maybe some type of limited edition series or even better a Marshall "JSX" It does look classy! -S

[pablobs24]

@helrazr84 HELL YEAH!

[GuitarAriaFreak1010]

@helrazr84 it's a Marshall 6100 30th anniversary through a 1960B cab loaded Celestion G12T75 speakers, saw that on the surfing with the alien video

[helrazr84]

@GuitarAriaFreak1010 Oh cool.. On the Premier Guitar Rig rundown for Satch, he mentions something about a possible Marshall Sig series amp. I thought this might have been a prototype until you said it's an Anniversary Model.

[GuitarAriaFreak1010]

@helrazr84 A marshall satriani signature that would be so cool! Probaly so expensive aswell..

[helrazr84]

What kind of Marshall head is he using in these videos??

[pablobs24]

@helrazr84 JVM's i think

[rickygaby]

i ve seen him 8 times in concert...this guy is the best yeah!...

[theshieldster1]

i want to jizz on his face, he is epic :):)

[pazzmodium]

i think that sort of half-harmonic on the g note that he hits at 3:27 - 3:28 is really cool!

[freddy170190]

Joe Satriani = GOD

[Mattubic090]

Grande satriani!!!! genial, great!

[1337Noobtuber]

About 1% of the people in that crowd, don't deserve to even sit in those chairs in front of the guitar god Mr. Satriani.

[Luccaguitar]

Joe is the besttttttttt

[XxdartvaderxX]

i was like yeah.. that was ok 5:10 then BOOM 5:13 HE TAKES OFF! :D

[Bibinou68]

@ BashYouLongtime: what a stupid comment. Vai should concentrate on showing off a bit less, and miss less notes than he does. Very talented, but a bit over the top in my view. SATCH all the way! He was his teacher afterall.

[andywylde]

Epic Win

[BashYouLongtime]

Vai rapes him anyday.

[jdsongwriter]

Still Jammin! Great sound and great technique! Satch!

[samborac46]

Marshall yeah!

all that he needs to replace now is the guitar & than he's the king of sound!

[ShadowLancer128]

@samborac46 That's the fucking Blackdog. Replace it my ass. It's fine.

[awesomejohnnet]

God Bless him!

[soulplatos]

whats iwth the lab top? why is he plugged into it?

[nsbear1]

@soulplatos he's using the laptop for his backing band...it's supplying the bass, drums and any extra sounds.

[James57433]

Its like a get on ur bike sort of song :D

[FrodoBaggins44]

Corrr! Joe is really hot........could watch this 100 times....

[vi70h]

this song is the reason im learning guitar epic! satriani is the best!

[theshieldster1]

@vi70h i want to jizz on his face, he is epic!!! :)

[theshieldster1]

@vi70h i want to jizz on his face, he is fucking epic. :) :)

[tamirke]

amazing player

[InMyRightHandDOOM]

Marshall not the JSX?

[ShadowLancer128]

@InMyRightHandDOOM Yeah, Joe wanted to use his Marshalls this year. No one knows just exactly why. We all know the JSX can sound just like Jimi anyway. Play the right guitar, through the right setting and rig, WALAH! We have Hendrix's sound!

[InMyRightHandDOOM]

BLISS!!!!

[yobhsiFehT]

There were a couple spots where I kinda' wish he'd opened the wah up a little more, but he's just PERFECT at using it as a sort of modulation device! =|

Anyone else love him so much that you almost hate him sometimes?? :P:D

(Thanks, Sweetwater:))

[sebastein100]

@yobhsiFehT lol I wouldn't say ¨hate¨ but envy, sure! Jeeeez this guy is a God playing guitar!

[chesshirecat2]

wow

[stratozizou]

Master..!
