Meh, being a guitarist isn't somehow a mechanical way of competing in a sort of sport of speed, technique etc. They're all great if you like the art they create. They're artists essentially, because they create ..well.... artistry. There's no 'better than'.. but yet will just keep on arguing about it hahahaha..
Seems to me people are batting about Vai, Van Halen and Satriani and trying to come out with 'the best'. They're all so different in terms on innovation, technique and songwriting. Personally I think Eddie Van Halen is the best but if people are going down the technique route then maybe you should listen to some Shawn Lane or something. Also neither Satch or Vai are EVH 'impersonators' but they do owe a hell of alot to him and Satch and Vai both admit.
Satch is in another stratosphere! Vai is flying around trying to find him in a way too brightly coloured rocket, and Eddie is on the earth bulding very impressive fireworks rockets..
I think that kinda sums up the Eddie/Satch/Vai situation
I have to laugh at those who think that Satch immitates/follows Eddie. I saw VH in concert, but (sadly) all the Satch I've seen "live" has been here. I can tell you in no uncertain terms that Satch blows him away.
Eddie was a great innovator back in the 80s with his style, but he doesn't hold a candle to Joe. Satch is in the stratosphere...Eddie is still here on Mother Earth.
It isn't even fair to compare the two really as their styles are vastly different.
@BaneOfXistence4 BULLSHIT! You lucky bastard! I'm gonna hit 47 and I remember buying Satch's 'Not of this Earth' on Cassette tape. I, and oldsters like myself, have had to wait around for every album Satch produced. You--you young punk--can get it all in one go. No waiting.
I own this dvd. and the Dvd version sounds much better..not just the audio quality limits of youtube..TRUST ME...although im DEFINITELY NOT dissing on the Satriani..and his incredible far out there skills. fucking bad ass. on the dvd version..in this son Satriani is wearing a Tobagin ( I know i incorrectly spelled that too lazy to google the spelling) and is playing a black Ibanez looking guitar with red flames on the front and "Silver Surfer" on the back" he shows the back at song's beginnin
Genious. Absolute genious. If there's a more talented and innovative guitarist alive, I sure don't know of him. This version might be the best I've seen. Great ending, and good quality upload too... thanks for sharing. Fantastic, fantastic display.
@bbard889: no offense taken. you're right about eddie not doing anything for years, but that doesnt negate his legacy any more than keith richards' alcoholism taints his. that being said, joe is the greatest thing next to jimi and as far as the technical aspects to playing, outdoes jimi there. but eddie still deserves proper mention as a major influence and certainly top 10(and probable top 5) all time. no one could argue with that. he did influence a whole generation of guitarists.
@jayrillo0214 What has EVH produced in the last 15 years that is relevant?I don't want to disrespect the guy, because his playing in the late 70's through the 80's was absolutely amazing (Live Without A Net ftw)...it's just that his alcholism hasn't been kind to his playing,to say the least. It just really disappoints me to see an amazing player like that go to sh*t. Satch, for example, has done nothing but improve over the years...while EVH has done the opposite :(. Not trying to offend anyone.
i see no mention of eddie van halen in any of the last few pages of comments. how does he fall between the cracks? at a time when everyone was raving about the likes of randy rhoads, steve vai(granted, a young one), slash, yngwie, and kirk hammett, eddie was blowing them ALL out of the water. he's still a major influence in guitarists worldwide today. dont sleep.
to mention greatest guitar players, to me its someone that can be as good at creating music as they are playing it, same goes for any instrument really, it shows your know your instrument well, and satch doesnt necasserily write the most insanely complicated solos, but everything he writes is perfect to the ears and fits in place, two other people that many don't mention are marty friedman and alex skolnick, who in my books have incredible technical ability and remarkable creativity. \m/
i honestly would put joe bonamassa in that list. i dont know if anyone else digs him as much as me, but he definitely ranks up there with satch in my opinion.
@minotaur313: he aint rock at all(as a matter of fact, he's jazz), but stanley jordan is one amazing, amazing guitarist. anyone should check him out. he's got a great "stairway to heaven" cover here on you tube...
@jayrillo0214 I'm VERY familiar with Stanley Jordan! GREAT guitarist, different genre.
Regarding EVH, he was THE guitarist in the late 70's and 80's, but likely BBard889 mentioned, alcoholism ruined his continued potential (this coming from a recovering alcoholic). Had Eddie remained sober, had had all the tools to be THE greatest guitarist of all time...
Still, EVH was/is one the the most influencial and innovative guitarists EVER!
Damn I absofeckinglutely love that legato riff in this tune. Gives me goosepimples. The sweeping near the end is legendary. He may have a head like a potato lol, but that's the most talented potato headed mofo i've ever seen.
By legato mate I mean the riff where he mutes the strings with his right hand and taps with the left. That isn't SPECIFICALLY the definition of legato, it's just the flowing sound it makes. I just love that riff and Satch is the master of it (as far as I know)
man, hes gonna be 85 years old, on stage just smokin a guitar. i think your right, but im not ashamed to admit that ill cry like a baby if satriani dies. hope that day never comes
Satch can never die, in the sense that his music will live on, but the fact that he IS the alien - anyone who can play like that is NOT of this earth :D
Well, hey, you know there's Vai, and Petrucci! The day he hangs up his guitar, (GOD FORBID) is the day music stands on its last two feet, and admits, its been a good run. Long Live Satriani.
@Jacksonkellyfreak Joe will never hangout up his guitar though. I think he may stop touring at one time but hes going to make music till the day he dies.
ive been listening to his stuff for a damn long time now but in all honesty every aspect of his playing in this vid was TOO perfect and i think the man needs a new Hobby.... but who am i kidding I hope he plays forever!!!!
some people that dont like or arent familiar with satch have never watched him play live actually watching him perform changes your whole perspective in my opinion and on a side note this is way better than the albulm version
@AtanasL lol..yeah it is IRONIC eh that his music is better live? most bands live music is ABOUT THE SAME overall or worse.lol My brother introduced me to Satriani in late 07'. the Dvd is THE BEST!
@johnadorian dude, you're on crack if you think Joe is a Eddy imitator. Eddy doesn't even rank when talking extreme players such as Joe, Ygnwie, or Vai..etc,etc. Eddy was good at creative riffs which are classic but his playing isn't on par with any of the players mentioned. I saw all mentioned guitarist live and I can tell you for sure.... that Joe would make Eddy look like school boy at his first guitar lesson playing live.
@mikecamp6969 dude eddie is why joe learned to play. The stuff eddie popularized. Dive bombs. Whammy squeals. Pinch harmonics. Two hand tapping. While Joe may be an excellent guitarist. Eddie is the father of all hard rock guitarists. Preceded by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. Its all about the roots of a guitarist. Joe goes back as far back as Eddie Van Halen, speed, melodic, tapping. All of the 80's guitarists may have been individualistic, but they all followed Eddie's patterns and ideas.
@johnadorian WRONG - These statements just prove how much you DON"T know about Satriani. Try looking up Leonard Tristano or Billy Bauer and you'll find the roots of Satriani. Then you can move into guitarists Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Allan Holdsworth and Charlie Christian,and rock guitarists Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore. Eddie - doesn't make the cut. And btw, the reason joe learned to play was because of Jimi Hendrix.
I enjoy watching him enjoy what he is playing, he looks like he's having so much fun ententairning us and doing what he likes and what he is the best for, he is just Awesome!
Hey Would Any Of You Guys Be Able To Tell Me Which JS Model Satch Is Playing???...It Looks Like A Black JS1000-1200...But If Anyone Can Tell Me Which Model It Is. Much Appreciated.
Nope, that's a black pearl. Looks identical to any one you can pick up at guitar center. Later in the concert he plays a really beat up chrome boy that looks black from all the wear, but this one is actually a BP.
I've also read that for this concert Satch agreed to play more of his production models to help boost Ibanez' sales, hence he plays the BP and 1200 more often than the alumboy, chromeboy, or an graphic finish ones.
he only has one JS 1200 and its a candy apple red 7 string .... he used it in one of the g3 vids for searching... i think this one is jus a js1000 in chrome black
He doesn't really. Ive seen him live a couple times, and have watched many videos. He doesn't really miss notes or anything. If he does, it's somehow thrown into the song and therefore not noticed.
the one he puts on the neck and keeps there out of the way while he's doing the arpeggios? i'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to sweerp pick while your hand is on the neck of the guitar like that... I mean i'm sure satch could if he wanted cause he's just amazing...
I don't think Satch has ever missed a note... ever.

Seems to me people are batting about Vai, Van Halen and Satriani and trying to come out with 'the best'. They're all so different in terms on innovation, technique and songwriting. Personally I think Eddie Van Halen is the best but if people are going down the technique route then maybe you should listen to some Shawn Lane or something. Also neither Satch or Vai are EVH 'impersonators' but they do owe a hell of alot to him and Satch and Vai both admit.

Salute to Joe, his live performances are awesome, he can play at least 95% similarity than the album version. Even Malmsteen could not do this haha

Hey Would Any Of You Guys Be Able To Tell Me Which JS Model Satch Is Playing???...It Looks Like A Black JS1000-1200...But If Anyone Can Tell Me Which Model It Is. Much Appreciated.
RazorEd11 3 years ago
JS1200 is candy apple red. That's a black pearl JS1000.

satch gets custom finishes on his guitar but i think it is a js-1000 but not black pearl
BiggiJ 3 years ago 4
Nope, that's a black pearl. Looks identical to any one you can pick up at guitar center. Later in the concert he plays a really beat up chrome boy that looks black from all the wear, but this one is actually a BP.
I've also read that for this concert Satch agreed to play more of his production models to help boost Ibanez' sales, hence he plays the BP and 1200 more often than the alumboy, chromeboy, or an graphic finish ones.

he only has one JS 1200 and its a candy apple red 7 string .... he used it in one of the g3 vids for searching... i think this one is jus a js1000 in chrome black

The one in the Japan G3 Searching is transparent red. It looks like a Js100, but 7 string, to me, with the black headstock and all.

I'm a big fan of satch but would love to see some footage of him playing some shockingly bum notes....anyone know of anything?

what do you mean? im a satch geek, perhaps i could help you..
seppesai 3 years ago
What I mean is, do you know of any vid clips of satch making mistakes?
ChrisFreek 3 years ago
He doesn't really. Ive seen him live a couple times, and have watched many videos. He doesn't really miss notes or anything. If he does, it's somehow thrown into the song and therefore not noticed.
agm2004 3 years ago 2
sorry to take that idea completly out... but satch is at a stage where in all honesty... he jus doesnt make mistakes... particulary live

yeah sorry my mistake thats sweeping i thought you meant a different part... woops!

he's not sweeping... he's playing arpeggios yes, but not sweeping...
James00Hewitt 3 years ago
It's definitely sweeping. You can tell (especially) by watching his picking hand.
baseballnolie34 3 years ago
the one he puts on the neck and keeps there out of the way while he's doing the arpeggios? i'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to sweerp pick while your hand is on the neck of the guitar like that... I mean i'm sure satch could if he wanted cause he's just amazing...
