@melodiousMO Yeah i hear you' A few years ago mentioning bucketheads name on a different guitar player page comments were so full of hate i couldnt believe it i thought buckethead was known respectfuly because his playing on 'colma' there is way more. He didnt sound like other rock guitarist on acoustic, his peaceful apmospheric playing was not only feeling but deep' hits the core sole of human emotion, He has a variety of styles more than any guitar shredder, Records 4 albums a year

Joe says nothing about jason he couldn't say about Sloshes playing which is guitarted or anyone else's Jasons technique was his knowledge and sweep arpeggios non stop nobody watched jason at the 'stone' went home and learn his technique no one comes close to making masterpiece like air' There is one' who is monarch of the entire race, BUCKETHEAD

@evilclown99 What he said is true. Even if you can flawlessly cover even the likes of Jason Becker, that in itself does not make you a special guitarist. Jason was special because he displayed dazzling techniques amidst beautiful musical compositions... that being said, by the time he was debilitated, he was not even close to fully blossoming as a musician. I guess what Joe is saying is that all these new YouTube guitar hero's... just aren't of the same caliber...

Do you think Joe Satriani looks stoned in this interview clip? I don't see that at all.

[karwash2011]

He looks very stoned.

@Blitzbok I couldn't agree more. Musicality is by far the most important factor. Nothing impresses me in the world of guitar any more (technique wise). At one time, I may have been impressed by someone being able to alternate pick 16th notes at 600+ bpm (check out John Taylor) - but not anymore.
