Details and Background about the singer:

Satriani is widely recognized as a technically advanced rock guitarist, and has been described as a virtuoso. He has mastered many performance techniques on the instrument, including Legato, two-handed tapping and arpeggio tapping, volume swells, harmonics, and extreme whammy bar effects. One of his trademark compositional traits is the use of Pitch Axis Theory, which he applies with a variety of modes. During fast passages, Joe favors a technique known as legato (achieved primarily through hammer-ons and pull-offs) which yields smooth and flowing runs. He is also adept at other speed-related techniques such as speed picking (a rapid form of alternate picking) and sweep picking, but does not often use them.

An influential guitarist himself, Satriani has many influences, including jazz guitarists Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, and Charlie Christian, and rock guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Ritchie Blackmore.

Joseph "Satch" Satriani (born July 15, 1956 in Westbury, New York, United States) is an American multiple nominated Grammy Award multi-instrumentalist, best known as an instrumental rock guitarist. Early in his career, Satriani worked as a guitar instructor, and some of his former students have achieved fame with their stellar guitar skills. Satriani has been a driving force behind other musicians throughout his career, as a founder of the ever-changing touring trio, G3, as well as performing in temporary positions with other musicians.

In 1988, Satriani was recruited by the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for Jagger's second solo tour. Later, in 1994, Satriani was also the lead guitarist for Deep Purple. Satriani has also worked with a wide range of guitarists from many musical genres, including Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Larry LaLonde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brian May, Patrick Rondat, Andy Timmons, Paul Gilbert and Robert Fripp through the annual G3 Jam Concerts.

He is heavily influenced by famous music icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Since 1988, Satriani has used his own signature guitar, the Ibanez JS Series, which is widely sold in stores. He also has a signature series amplifier, the Peavey JSX.

Satriani was inspired to play guitar at age 14 after learning of the death of Jimi Hendrix. He reportedly heard the news during a football training session, where he confronted his coach and announced that he was quitting to become a guitarist.[citation needed]

In 1974, Satriani studied music with jazz guitarist Billy Bauer and with reclusive jazz pianist Lennie Tristano. The technically demanding Tristano greatly influenced Satriani's playing. Satriani also began teaching guitar, with his most notable student at the time being fellow Long Island native Steve Vai. While he was Vai's teacher, he was attending Five Towns College for studies in music.

In 1978 Satriani moved to Berkeley, California to pursue a music career. Not long after his arrival he resumed teaching. His students included Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Marty Friedman (Megadeth), David Bryson (Counting Crows), Kevin Cadogan (Third Eye Blind), Larry LaLonde (Primus, Possessed), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Rick Hunolt (Exodus), Phil Kettner (Lääz Rockit), Geoff Tyson (T-Ride), Charlie Hunter, Jude Gold, and Adam Johnson (Ylond in Blue Galaxies).

In 1992, Satriani released The Extremist, his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album to date. Radio stations across the country were quick to pick up on "Summer Song", while "Cryin'", "Friends" and the title track were regional hits.

In late 1993, Satriani joined Deep Purple as a temporary replacement for departed guitarist Ritchie Blackmore during the band's Japanese tour

In 1996, he was a founder of G3, a concert tour intended to feature a power trio consisting of three instrumental rock guitarists.

In 1998 Satriani recorded and released Crystal Planet, which went back to a sound more reminiscent of his late '80s work.

On August 2007, Epic/Legacy Recordings re-released Surfing with the Alien to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release.

Satriani's newest album, titled Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock, was released on April 1, 2008.

On November 22, 2008 Satriani shared the stage with amateur guitarist, Funtwo, during a performance for YouTube Live.

I've been a fan for 21 years and I'm younger than the youngest member of Chickenfoot. Joe plays well.

This is song is an extended version of "Always with me , Always with you". I believe he wrote it for his wife Rubina, I saw him play it at the Fillmore San FRan in 1988 with Jonathan Mover and Stu Hamm. Needed a loop back then as he was in a trio. He's gotten better. His show a few years later with the Bissonette brothers was actually kinda boring. Rock On! Thanks for the upload! Go Chickenfoot.

I really love joes tone when he stays away from the effects.  I'm not saying no effects (I mean, what would surfin be without all the chorus and wah?) but I've seen a lot of videos where his tone is just a mess. A little delay and reverb can go a long way.
