I had always thought the notes on this piece were sweep picked... that's the way I had learned it, haha, oops. Either way you still can strain your arm muscles if you're not careful, I sure did.
I think I will try it again with tapping this time. It's such a beautiful melody and fun to play. It's worth losing an arm over, lol.
@JoeSatrini Well, it's the same fingerings except you're sweep picking instead of tapping. I had learned it by ear by slowing down the music and comparing notes, then wrote it down. I didn't realize it was tapped until watching this video.
I'll try and find my notes, although I'm sure you can find the tabs for it if you search the internet, just sweep pick instead of tap. Either way anyone attempting this should start out slow and watch out for muscle strain.
@diazluisdiaz bane of hit it on the head there... it was also given away as a lesson before it was released and they used part of the original recording for the record
@JoeSatrini Amazing! I put here one version of 'Power' (full song). Still not 100% but is a work in progress and a lifetime challenge. Pls check it if you have time. Thanks!
Well the essence of this lesson for me was "manage your low end" :0). Thanks so much for giving us a glimpse into the day you had with Joe, it just reinforces what a lovely bloke he is, a natural teacher, interested in people and especially guitar people.
@satchfan2010 hmm I see.. many thanks! Playing this piece is my ultimate challenge. I can play it but not at full speed all the time, and some of the very last arpeggios are too damn hard (they broke the main pattern). I put a small portion of the piece here, it's on my videos section. Thanks again!
I'm so glad I haven't had the chance to see Joe in person (or Paul Gilbert who's probably just as awesome as Satch) because I would've made myself look like an idiot :D
@NailedSolo I was wondering the same. What does one do to get to visit JS in his studio?
Thanks so much for putting up all these videos, they're a huge source of inspiration and happiness!
@valinhorn42 I first met Joe a long time ago (theres a vid from 08 on here where Joe mentions it) and I have just been very very fortunate as far as all things Joe. I love that guy for being who he is and creating that wonderful inspirational music

@xstohl as you can see, it's joe doing one of his amazing techniques. Good luck with changing how you play it, could you post it perhaps both ways?

This song is one of most daring things a person can attempt to play at a guitar. Joe´s a genius!

@KingTabor totally genius - on ghosts, check out how he instantly plays what I sing at the right pitch etc. It was only afterwards I spotted that

I've recently been learning this and its very challenging. But the only way to get better is to push yourself to do something difficult.

Amazing video. Interesting to learn that Joe experienced RSI from recording the Power Cosmic arpeggio.

@satchfan2010 I guess it was brief while he practiced... but has since worked out a more relaxed way of doing it
