Joe Satriani - Why

[86753094672]

@MasterofTrapos he has a big box backstage that gives him em chord harmonies with the note he's playing

[HVYMETL]

deaf people like this too. It's that beautiful.

[desverguenzajena]

Why did 5 deaf people open this video?

[desverguenzajena]

Why nobody can play like Satriani?

[SpaceExplorer31]

Hell yea baby

[jimk9945]

First time I have heard this song.Would like to see Joe & Joe Bonnamassa

[JC8546]

Uma das melhores do Joe Satriani.

[petehawthorneuk]

Constantly get chills every time I hear this song start!

[MasterOfTrapos]

i'm trying to learn this song, knowing i can play guitar really fast

i know i can't make it sound like joe

but... hey! something is something

[CoombesKidd]

its like 8 guitars in one song

[MasterOfTrapos]

@CoombesKidd 4 guitars

it's a really good pedal effect, because he can do it live

[RomanianSausage]

im betting the 5 people who dislike this song are actually deaf...... sucks

[joesatrianiisthebest]

eargasm

[76Noob]

1:33 Jizz in ma pants

[MasterOfTrapos]

WHY do i feel some sort of melancholy?

what? i only wanted to say WHY

[radicalzification]

it's a great music

*WHY not to give like .???

[guepardoarg]

Why is he fucking awesome?

[ebos89]

sorry but joe satriani has nothing on lil waynes guitar skills.... if you're mad/dont get it you're really stupid

[orgasmatrone]

great music been looking for it long time ago

[parka715]

the whole song besides that part is em c then d incradible solos with a nice melody = an awesome song

[TheCh4insaw]

good job.. nice taste :D

[jevfp]

this misery,sad,sorrow,anguish,..th­e melody screaming,..looking for answers with unspeakable pain,..but found no answer,..why,..why ,....just,..why one of the best song from one of the best album of satriani

[axovelleBY9]

I wish I could get satriani to be my private guitar instructor

[jamesedwardtheobald]

i forgot how good this was... satch at his most tasteful

[MetaLMieOw62]

FUCK YEAH!!!this is my favorite song god damn it!\m/

[MrRuzenqures]

2:34 this part is ... is... there is no word!

[truthhawk7]

It does sound like he's asking why... and answering as well.

[valcorina]

Lovely sound

[laakademia]

One of the bes themes i've ever heard

[DanH1970]

killer solo, one of his best

[thenameissammy]

What are the chords for the song?

[zkira67light]

@thenameissammy no chords just scales ;D

[Murphyalex]

There's just something about this song that's so pure that... well... it's undescribable. The lead in at 1:43 and the part that follows is really great. The solo is good but it's not too show-offy 2:18-2:34 is amazing. Then the way the two melody lines intertwine and lead back to the main theme again. ARGHHH I LOVE IT.

[fedeargento83]

AHH MAN!! WHAT A NOISE!!! MY EARS'RE TAKING A DEEP BREATH IN THIS MOMENT. THE MENTOR OF THE MAIOR BETTER GUITARPLAYERS IN USA. LADYS AND GENTLEMAN: ONLY JOE SATRIANI. GRETTINGS FROM ARGENTINA

[Kaputznefreble]

@fedeargento83 You shout too much :D

[fedeargento83]

@Kaputznefreble Ure rigth. Love this song. ;)

[ilfara76]

Joe is simply the best!

[Tavernman06]

this was always one of my fav JS grooves...glad to see that other people feel the same way

[MaxanII]

Some parts of this song sound like some solos in Ayreon's songs.... Not saying one copied the other or which one is the best... Just wondered =/

[randho8]

If the student cant be better than the master, then eventually were all brainless morons.

[GTFGFOSG]

muy bueno!!!!

[glenna66]

this is the song of my life!

[manhun7]

i cant believe 3 people actually gave "thumbs down" to this song..

[ZomBLord]

@manhun7 They slipped... Deep down, they love this song.

[Haseo271]

@manhun7 Sir that is because they lack the intellect to feel from something other then lyrics coming from someone trying to sound like they are 14.

[mriosc]

The best..... nothing more to say...

[HellPatrol92]

1:34 - 1:42 the crying machine by steve vai...i think steve took it from this

[BaneOfXistence4]

The pupil always has the possibility to surpass the master (teacher). Unless of course that teacher is Satch.

[Chitarrometro]

Amaaaaaazing song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[math450k]

This song is pretty cool! Joe satriani rocks():

[mrtomjh]

how come you never see joe satriani play this song live?

[cikcak01]

Satriani is guitar alien :)

[sebastein100]

one word: brilliant

[RJMazz]

Try hard, Yakmzez. Nothing is impossible. There is nothing a person can do someone else can't do better.

[Yakmzez]

I whish i could play guitar like Joe Satriani.

[cheinpatakh]

@Yakmzez i pray that ur wish would come true but to tell u the truth only satriani can play like satriani :) no 1 can :)

[goodygoody23]

@Yakmzez Everyone does

[Fasa756]

@Yakmzez You can, just practice :)

[MetaLMieOw62]

@Fasa756 you need to feel the music just like joe to make such music,that's all about...\m/

[lantyboy696]

@Yakmzez dont we all :(

[Giao1]

@lantyboy696 yes we do

[jztein22]

@Yakmzez me to dud..:)

[TheLauti1999]

@Yakmzez with training

[MasterOfTrapos]

@Yakmzez remember it's not possible

remember satch is voldemort and you're not harry potter to stand against his might

but try anyway, it's a good solution

[CameronShaft]

This song got me through some rough bizarre times in my life, strangley enough it takes me back to that time in my life 16 years ago.

[boyalagunera]

Bestia Humana, no puede tocar asi!!!!!!!

[ZomBLord]

Why not?

[circa1021]

@ZomBLord Why or why not? The answer can still be the same. For instance, why fill my tank? It is half full. Why not fill my tank? It is half full. The purpose is what varies... I need to fill my tank full right now because I have to reach my destination in 7 hours without stopping--, or I won't fill my tank now, and I'll have time left to fill my tank later.

[ohmygooooood]

This song belongs to God, every time I listen it, it's just like the fucking first time, incredible emotional and great. The BEST song of the BEST album ever. Could be something better?.

[letsplaywiththunder]

@ohmygooooood

absolutely nothin' :-)

[GuzaniithOo]

So fuckin' amazing o_o

[Jagma777]

Why would people argue over who is better? I couldn't think of music as a guitar player without either. Do people think music would be better off without either Satch, or Vai?

[95same]

He would suite long hair fuk the bald head lol plus just to piss all u satriani fans off Vai is better

[GoingAFK]

@95same He used to have long hair, it didn't "suite" him, you ignorant fuck. The 80's are gone, and last time i checked most public schooling systems would actually teach you english. maybe you should look at going back to school =\

[zombiezappers]

meh

[PigmyEfabat]

@95same steve vai's stuff is fucking irritating. feels like hes just playing to show off. his music has no feeling. and he looks like a dumbass

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@PigmyEfabat Steve Vai''s music has enough feeling. He plays just very different music from Satch's. Satriani is more flowing and hands the emotion towards you...where Vai plays with your emotion more. Different styles, Both great in their own way. Only Satch can play like Satch and only Vai can play like Vai. Respect them cause they deserve that.

[Contchesco]

@PhilosopherOnWeed Only A true Philosopher on weed would write such wise words. :D

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@Contchesco Whaha thx :P

[marlonization]

What a great song! My hairs standing up right now!

[espectaculardavidrcq]

King Joe Satriani!!!

[IAMJAZZHIMSELF]

keep the song as it is,you'd rape it

i like it how it is, just like all his songs

hes the best

[RJMazz]

@GrownWomanLevel

Lyrics to this? Don't be insane. The fact that it doesn't have lyrics is it's own magic!

[RJMazz]

@GrownWomanLevel That's exactly why they're comments. Nobody has to ask for 'em.

[GrownWomanLevel]

@RJMazz okay

[remyllebeau77]

@Zubirrex and MrOscarWild

You have both made your points.... now please shut up.

[Zubirrex]

Satriani is better, He can actually write a memorable song. Vai can't.

[IwishIwereJoe]

@Zubirrex i kind of get you're saying. vai mostly shreds. it's hard to really remember something like that. joe's songs usually have more melody. it's not a shred fest with him. it's more about feeling with his songs.

[Zubirrex]

You said it better than I can, bro. That's what I meant exactly.

[RabidCookie]

Juice - Vai

Very memorable. You're just a bias cunt :)

[Zubirrex]

ed. bias-ed. And you're RONG. ;)

[RabidCookie]

Mmm, my spelling might not be good enough for you, but I am very wright. Your opinion of Vai's compositions does not mean that his material is inferior than Joe's. It's about taste are perspective isn't it. Your perception of Vai's inability to write a 'memorable' song is true only with yourself. Tender Surrender, Juice, For the Love of God, all very memorable. I agree Joe is melodically superior, but the comment I responded to was absolutely erroneous, which is the "memorable song" comment

[Zubirrex]

Fair enough.

[RabidCookie]

i like you :) very level headed

[MrOscarWild]

@Zubirrex You are an ignorant fool that clearly doesn't know much about music, if you believe that Steve Vai can't write a memorable song. Or maybe you just don't have a good memory. Also, there is no absolute perfection.

[Zubirrex]

@MrOscarWild Dur da dur dur dur. Satriani is the master, Vai is the leaner. Thus it was, is, and shall ever be.

[MrOscarWild]

@Zubirrex You are living proof, that nature does not abhor a vacuum. Ignorance is not a virtue.

[Zubirrex]

@MrOscarWild You are wrong. I'm completely cognizant of both Satriani and Vai. That's why I'm completely correct in saying Satriani is superior.

[MrOscarWild]

@Zubirrex It is clear that you are a complete idiot.

[Zubirrex]

@MrOscarWild It is clear you have no taste. Vai is a horrible song writer. Satriani is not. You are a retard if you don't agree. Wipe your chin, you're drooling again.

[MrOscarWild]

@Zubirrex You have proved once again that you are an idiot. Silly little child.

[MrOscarWild]

@Zubirrex You are not exactly improving on the stereotype of americans, are you? :)

[Zubirrex]

@MrOscarWild You're not doing anything except slinging personal attacks, which is the tactic of a fucking idiot. Oscar Wilde? Not remotely.

[MrOscarWild]

@Zubirrex You are clearly an idiot, that knows nothing about music. You are also too stupid to realize the hypocrisy of your last comment.

[alpendyer]

He's amazing and I worship this album. Double bow but...

His student surpassed him. Steve Vai is the best guitar master I've ever heard.

[pjrulezxyz]

it's really hard to judge... satriani is still better in my opinion - alltogether... I think Satriani's songs have more feeling than Vai's... but vai's tender surrender is above all :)

[RabidCookie]

:) Vai has a nice collection of mind blowing tunes, but he occasionally goes off on a wild tangent

[pacoelectronico]

Simplemente PERFECTO.

[adimis55]

so much passion for this song,,,, love u joey!

[cikcak01]

people bow before Master of Guitars

Satriani is God !

[siliconvalleyceo]

no doudt about it, JOE THE BEST

[meguqs]

how come there's no single recorded live performance of this song? weird

[AntoineGaudet]

@meguqs I'd say it is because there are like two guitars playing. And Joe may be a god, but he only has two hands. :)

[meguqs]

i'd remark that in later years he has been touring with a rhythm guitar player, but i'll settle anyway.

[AntoineGaudet]

@meguqs Yeah but even if the rythm guitar plays the lead too, I guess you still need another rythm guitar. So 3 guitars I guess. Whatever... that's not important ! :D

[meguqs]

right. i'm just glad he moved on to forming his band (Chickenfoot) cause his recent recordings have become quite... hollow.

just dropping the band's name in case any of you don't know it!

can't believe i missed their show in LA :)

[anandthepianoguy]

@AntoineGaudet Satch has played both rythm and lead of his own song, the mystical potato head groove thing.

[nizzleriffic]

Does anyone have a live version? I am learning to play this on guitar and want to hear him playing it live. Thanks.

[imaninja1000]

:) it's nice

[Chromeboy1969]

Thanks for the Satch!!

[WeSTsiDeRuLeZ217]

satch is fuckin good, but i still reckon buckethead tops any guitarist, jst my opinion tho

[csrocks3]

oh and 2:27 is awesome!!

[csrocks3]

joe satriani is the best guitarist in the world :D

[Solvi27]

@csrocks3 he's my favorite :) !!!!!!!!!!!!

[jon11baller]

@csrocks3 you're goddamn right! No one is more soulful or technical than Joe. People don't know what they're missing. He is the greatest!

[PhatGecko2000]

This song has such an emotional connection too me, whenever i hear it, it chills me too my core every time. Lying in bed with your eyes closed listening too this song is magnificent. Consider trying it some time, It's breath-taking.

[CameronShaft]

@PhatGecko2000 This one does with me too along with Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness. Reminds me of my first summer living on my own in my first pad which wasn't in the best part of town, this is what got me through those first few rough months.

[thop1984]

This song rocks, love the groove! Ah, the guy who is "better" than Satch probably would deny that statement knowing the student is never better than the Master. He may be able to move his pick or fingers faster, but he'll never be the guitarist Joe Satriani is, it's just not possible because Satch is "Not of This Earth"! Ha!

[Mrwinker32]

solid reference

[thop1984]

Thanks dude! Rock on!

[Scarletohara84]

i could not have put that better myself,lol.Joe Satriani has heart and passion,that along with his skills makes him one my favorites.

[4bubble2hash0]

You are ignorant as you could possibly be.

Anyone with a BRAIN would deny that statement, because that is NOT the quote!

It goes "The student has BECOME the master", indicating that yes, the student can INDEED surpass any master.

I repeat, you are ignorant.

(so are the 8 people who gave you thumbs up).

[thop1984]

@4bubble2hash0

Yo moron,

Did I use quotation marks or indicate i was using the quote? Obviously not. Fuck off and die dickhead. Go flex you internet muscles somewhere else, not impressed.

[COCHISE710226]

Absolutely amazing....

[lennoth]

0:00 - 4:46 =)

[plotjr]

until that guy gets my approval, he still below Joe satriani.

[n123daron]

lol..r u jokin/??hehe..already laffin my ass up....

[mlcharris99]

2:39 - 2:51

[shadowsong1]

this should have been one of the classic satch songs like always, summer song, surfing, cool 9, ect - awesome harmonies and great layering

[borix20]

zajebioza!!!

[pandaram007]

[SoskoVideos]

Awesome song!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!! 5/5!!!!!

[Zubirrex]

Absolute perfection.

[pep2582]

[kidclumsy]

[cikcak01]

2:52 BEST

Satch rule the world !

[cikcak01]

[jereibanez]

Oh my god!!!That Harmony is very sweet!!! 5STARS!!!Go Satch!!!!

[get62477]

[davidngatairangihika]

Hey this is the best song, so many good memories about college & this album, has anyone got a reliable tab? or seen this played live, would love the hook-up. Respect for uploading dude...

[baakashinobi]

lately got bored of playing on guitar, but after hearing this song first time in a very long time I got back my motivation and even started to learn how to play WHY ;]

[pepectm]

That's the attitude man ;)

[GuiAntonioli]

This song is the shit! I will never get tired of it!!! Greaaat composition, uncle satch!

[Rave4Techno]

everytime i hear this, i think of me playing this in a funeral lol.
