Joe Satriani - Ten Words (Live 2006)

Joe Satriani - Ten Words (Live 2006)
Live at The Grove, Anaheim
Off of the "Satriani: Live!" DVD (2006).

Another fantastic excerpt from the DVD! This song in particular is too good to pass up.

Joe originally wrote it on piano as a reflection of 9/11. Coming back to it on the Super Colossal record in 2006, he tried to write ten words for the title - based on the repeated ten note phrase (2:29-2:38) - but found that it was impossible to do, so he left it ambiguous.

The intro section is from his song Turkey Man, and you can also hear it during the Rubina performance on his Live in San Francisco DVD.

It's not how many notes you play -- it's how you compose and then play them.

This song was written in honor and memory of 9/11. The ten words are the ten notes -- you can pick them out many times, but the main time is just before the solo.

What an amazing writer, guitarist and Man.

this is why ill take joe any day over becker, vai, petrucci, malmsteen, gilbert, they just dont write songs as good as this

[Ed Duke]

I think his masterpiece is Always with you always with me, no question.

But that's like picking one priceless diamond from a barrel of priceless diamonds...

[Ulf Andersson]

Amazing solo!

[EnthronedMan]

Once I have heard his playing, I thought that he is just a technician, but,,

again and again... Now I feel he is the genius of all time, and

He is the one of my favorite guitar heroes.

Forever, Joe. Inspiration.

[Adnan Pusina]

This is Joes masterpiece, do not listen to it with someone else, it can make you cry ;-)

The man is a master of the guitar. He plays with his heart and soul. When he plays I feel it down my spine. Music is something you can't interpret you feel it deep inside. Joe Satriani you are a legend, you are what Johann Strauss was to the violin.

[Aaron Campbell]
