Joe Satriani - Motorcycle Driver

A song by the greatest guitar player on the planet - Joe Satriani.

This is an old video I shot a year or two ago. It's me jamming over a MIDI backing track that I made using Power Tab Editor and Cakewalk SONAR. Note the chrome Ibanez JS10th...Satch's signature model and my #1 guitar. I'm also using a Roland MicroCube amp.

Motorcycle Driver is an underrated track off of The Extremist. The ending solo is one of my favorites to play.

Great song - great rendition. I like how you did some of your own stuff and had fun with it. ... and AWESOME gearshifting!!

@JoeDog345

Heheh, I had to laugh at the gearshifting part...

Mebbe just 'cause I'm in a good mood after seeing Lynch Mob and meeting George and Mick...

[KalDaddy1]

So when do we get to see your rendition of Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness?

And I don't suppose your from Ca.... I'd love to see you play live.

[CDenic]

I never learned that one. Perhaps...

And I lived in LA when I went to GIT and GCA, but now I'm back home in New @$#%in' York.

[JimHarmatz]

this is nothing but noise dude. find some real music to copy.

[CDenic]

Yeah, I guess you're right...I mean, you do so much better in all of your videos...

...oh wait...

...you don't have any videos. Interesting...

[diazcamille]

satchs most underrated song. also one of his best!! you did a fantastic rendition of a smoking song. /|\

[jasonbourneabc123]

Fantastic job!  I really enjoyed it!

[ShadowLancer128]

Reminds me a lot of Angus Young, ironically.

Great Song, great cover, great everything!

but i suspect a different influence in the player, would i be right? not that its a bad thing.

i have a question, do you do your vibrato like 3:15 after george lynch or you two just happen to use the same techique??? thats awesome!!!!

[RYansAdams79]

I think Joe Satriani is the best because he trained Steve Vai ;)

[hmidahim]

hi dude nice work i like it so much ^^ where i can find this backing track plz answer me in my box thx

[nijitrance]

Great! I liked your new ideas.

[rainz777]

Good Job!!! Timing was good too.Your lead track could have been alittle louder and seemed like it lacked sum punch.

15 dislikes??? 15 people can't play guitar

Anyone who plays guitar must understand how hard of a song this is or how hard most Joe Satriani songs are.

Over all Great Job keep jamin

[maximosis13]
