Free classes with Satriani, Vai and Petrucci..what a time to be alive!
Yeah its pretty freakin sweet
This could ONLY happen in our dreams 30 years or 20 years ago!
vinicius pessoa more like free lessons for m.i.t. Students. I’m still in jr high school.
Honestly is amazing
Do any of you know if Joe or Vai has a lesson on.how to play barre chords or the F chord PROPERLY!....?..(IM REALLY STRUGGLING WITH IT. And I don't wanna learn from random CZcamsrs anymore and can't get lessons
satch also happens to be an amazing guy. i ran into him in a music store in denver. he was pretty low key and most people had no idea who he was. i spent about 30 minutes just chatting with him and he just seemed liked he wanted to talk to someone about what THEY were doing as opposed to it being all about him. he also showed me a few tips to improve my playing. it was about 6:15 pm on a saturday so i asked him if i could buy him dinner or something for helping me out and he said "thanks, normally i'd love to but i really just stopped in here for a minute, i'm on my way to soundcheck for the show tonight at the paramount but now i just need to get there because it starts at 7 (he wasn't going on until 9)". he's just a real genuine guy. i did go full starstruck on him at the end and ask him to sign my guitars which he did gladly. i have a lot of respect for him as a musician, entertainer and a man.
Perry Goldstein you are so lucky to meet him...
It always nice to hear about what he is like because so many dislike people who are successful, when we should be praising them for doing well especially if they are humble and grateful to others, he's really cool with his fans. I've never been to any of his concerts or ever met him , but I bought his first hit album when I was 16 and bought every new one since. Haha even chicken foot.
r/thathappened
Sweet story. Sounds like a really cool guy. Thanks for sharing! The coolest guitarist I’ve ever met was Dimebag. Zero attitude and just genuinely a nice guy. I think some of the best “rockstars” are the ones that consider themselves as fans first and foremost. 🤘🏻
I've met him before you are right he is humble and very i don't know not shy but quiet and soft spoken. Super nice.
"You can't really have a style unless you have opinions about the tools that you are using to write music"
- Joe Satriani
Beautiful quote, right? :)
Very true.
"wow"
-owen wilson
"The dreaded F. The one open-position chord that makes everyone mad". Joe may be a guitar-god but he still has a grasp of the real world. Love it.
F minor is the one that does it for me
No matter black or white rich or poor old or young our hatred of f is what brings us all together
i'm a bass player and you bet your ass i hate F..
Does Joe have a lesson on how to play F Properly or Vai it's doing my head in
I was told when i was first taught the cowboy chords that F stand for fuck
Thanks Joe and Guitar World for doing quality content.
god i love youtube. I can't believe i'm sitting here getting lessons from Satch and Vai….
When someone with this much clout is speaking, you listen. There is immeasurable amounts of musical wisdom available. Thanks Joe
Albert Johnson he is right tho
"just go back to E if you freak out". seriously, this content is awesome, hilarious and spot on...
What I love about Joe is that he's very open about his early struggles with learning and also though being light-hearted he takes the instrument very seriously and the focus is on the learning and the love for it...some guys on CZcams can be putz's who waste 8 minutes of the video trying to get laugh's and you walk away with little more than you already knew, to begin with...
Satriani is so well spoken and smart about guitar playing. I’m impressed
I wish I had a robot joe available 24/7 that would just appear every time I had a guitar question. I swear if he makes that I want 50% of the money for the idea 😁
A natural teacher!!!....not many people can convey what they do...Joe can....I could listen to him talk all day....thanks guys
at the start when he talked about exploring different sounds by placing fingers on other strings and hearing how it sounds, sometimes good, sometimes bad. gave me a blast to the past when i was a beginner. the beauty of music, love joe's work!
Yes. And one of his students was Steve Vai.
@@imaseeker100 And there are even more famous guitarists if you google it you'll see. This man is a real legend and also a great human being.
Great teacher! Thanks!!
Anyone who's been playing awhile has gotten those basic chords but he gives a new way of thinking about them and appreciating their sounds. Just from this short video i feel like next time i sit down and play the same old thing i will have a broader, more inspired appreciation of it. Some of the things he says we just do naturally, like figuring out which chords we "like" and where they will work, but to hear him explain the process we're using gives it more "magic" or something. And a context for the anticipation of everything else he does way beyond what i can do so far.
Agreed
Guitarist's like Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson are not only amazing players, they're also amazing minds that understand how a guitar works. They understand that not only is there theory, reality and application, but also imagination. I can play a guitar, but I am not, nor will I ever become one with the instrument like they have. Two very special people given the gift of bringing music to life :-)
Ok guys this is the content you should always be running, keep up with these guitar method videos. They are fantastic!
Thank you for sharing what you know. The fact a few virtuoso guitarists are sharing is really wonderful for the community.
I'm at that early stage he's referencing. Warms my heart to know even the great man had the same frustration issues.
I can't thank you enough Guitar World for doing this! Hearing the thoughts of pioneers of the art is too good to be true.
Really looking forward to the 4th edition of this series.
When this man speaks, I listen. I wish I could have taken lessons from him before I taught myself sloppy bad habits.
"I didn't have that fret back then." LOL! You whippersnappers have it so easy now!
Yes he's very easy on the ear this guy,both musically and when speaking. Love watching his vids and as a guitarist of nearly 30 yrs, I listen to him intently! !
Never thought of the guitar as intimate, but he's absolutely right. You can play just for yourself. That's why it will always be my favorite instrument.
That tone goddamnnn
Amazing display of generosity, geniality and humility from the man I consider to be the living legend and pinnacle of guitar playing
:thumbsup:
What an amazing lesson. Thank you, Guitar World!
I met his sister-likely the one he's talking about here-many years ago at her studio. She's an artist creating these beautiful landscape paintings. It was a very brief encounter, a couple of minutes tops. I was too young and way too shy to really have a conversation with her. But I will never forget these few moments talking to her. I perceived her as such a gentle, quiet, yet incredibly radiant person. So warm and so gifted. Joe is just the same. I can't stop listening to the man. What a source of warmth and wisdom. I would love to get some guidance from their parents on how to raise a child ♥
So many great lessons over the years - thanks Joe and thanks Guitar World!
He was the first guy who could actually make the guitar sings, cries and screams. Joe's good heart lies in every notes he creates
Metal Scholar he wasn’t the first
@@danielmazur940 You don't get the point
Joe is just the best- coolest - wisest- most humble player ! None like him ever and the way he communicates ... every note is perfect ....
This man made me pick up the guitar
ronnie B he MADE you pick it up??? What a jerk!
@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 you know, when an elephant walks, dogs bark at him? you're one of them.
I still remember back in 92, my company had just returned from the gulf. I was watching TV, and a Sony Walkman commercial came on with the coolest jingle I had ever heard. About 6 months later I heard that same jingle blaring from some dudes car. That jingle was Summer Song, and how I learned about JS. I knew then, I wanted to play like him. Last week I mastered Mary Had A Little Lamb, and the Asus2 chord......
Dean --- it's a year later now. I'm here for an update on your progress since your first comment.....So - whatcha got?
@@daemonicnimrod4772 I switched to bass....
Hahaha
He does the Em with one finger! I just stole that Em add 9. That sounds lovely. I just love minor chords. In the first 5 min he is basically describing my journey so far. Amazing. I am only now starting to go beyond the first three frets and learning the same notes in all the different places. I "heard" or clocked my first chord in a song today. The D chord in Cristopher Cross' Sailing. Ive listened to this prolly a few hundred times over the years but only seen this as a piece of music. Today i put it on and the bell went off. Ive heard this chord. I know this chord. I am pretty sure its a D. It is. Watching this was like finding a goldmine.
Amen brother. When he does those arpeggios over the ‘Em add 9 my whole world just opened up. It’s so amazing but also the tone etc.
Satrianis a really good teacher. Helped creat the moster steve vai
And Kirk Hammett. ^^
And Larry la lalonde
With the guitar, beyond learning fundamentals or a few chords, the guitar comes alive when you take what u know or learning and start to explore within your means. That's when u start to discover things that were not taught or learned. That's when the individual becomes a musician. It's a beautiful thing. Never be afraid to take some time out from learning to push the envelope of what u already know.
This man is not „searching for the wrong note“. He knows and always playes the right notes! A perfect artist and a very nice guy!
After 30 years of playing, seeing these types of lessons from Joe (and also from Steve Vai and EJ) are such a treat and a very amazing experience both mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! For me, it's like finally climbing some mysterious mountain to a misty Temple of Guitar where the gods have been dwelling and FINALLY being able to hear them teach DIRECTLY their own ideas, which before, I could only learn from their records and tapes (remember them? LOL!), magazines, books, tab, and perhaps and REH or Hotlicks VHS tape here or there if I was lucky to see one as a kid. Truly such a wonderful experience to see these so many years after literally "worshiping" these guys like Guitar Religious Icons or Saints, etc. etc. Thank you Guitar World! Been reading your mag since the 80's.
Does everybody now use the Axe FX?
No.
I don't
Not yet!
I'm neither a guitarist or even musician, but I've always felt a strong connection to the guitar. A few times a year, I find myself watching CZcams videos by the guitar masters and almost always end up watching some by Mr. Satriani. He's such a humble artist and filled with such wisdom and intellect.
I first heard his music in the 80s, while in the military. At the time, we both had hair. Now, we both have shaved heads. And, either to my benefit or his detriment, we look alike quite a bit - like we could be brothers.
In fact, around 2012, I was in an airport and recall a guy sitting across the quiet, sparsely-populated terminal. Each time I would look up, he would be staring at me. This happened about half a dozen times, until I stopped paying attention. My head was freshly shaved and I was wearing my Maui Jim Typhoon sunglasses I've had since 1999. They're gloss black with a slight mirror finish and have a slight wrap to them.
Once the plane boarded, I was in the first group and sat near the front of the plane. My sunglasses were still on, so I could people watch without being obvious. As I looked up the line of people slowly making their way down the aisle, I spot the guy from the terminal. I can tell he sees me, too. Now, I'm just hoping he's not assigned to the seat next to me.
As he gets to my row, I can tell he's heading to a seat toward the back of the plane. As he's about to pass, I look up and nod, hoping maybe my attempt at being cordial will break whatever spell he seems to be under.
Finally, wide-eyed, he speaks:
Guy: Are you him?
Me: Excuse me?
Guy: Are you him?
Me: Am I whom?
Him: Joe Satriani!
I'm relieved by this and have a laugh. I apologize and explain that I just happen to look like Mr. Satriani, and, regrettably, have no talent or skill for any musical instrument. That was as close as I will become to being a celebrity, but it was fun while it lasted.
Haha, great story! You sound like a spiritual relative of Joe's. As someone who has been lucky enough to not just meet their decades long idol, but to actually talk with the guy for an hour, just chilling in my local pool room in NYC, I can confirm all the scuttlebutt on Joe - the guy simply is the most humble, down-to-earth musical legend you'll ever come across. And as further evidence of his uncanny ability to really connect with most everyone he meets - a couple of years after that encounter he recognized me as I waited for him and the band at the backstage entrance of another venue after a show. He looked me right in the eye and said "Hey! Amsterdam Billiards, right?"
I was blown away. Utterly speechless. A grown man shivering with glee.
He would absolutely laugh along with you if he ever heard your story.
@Joe Satchton - I appreciate your sharing your own personal insights and experiences with Mr. Satriani. (You two even have similar names!) It's always nice to hear when such talented and legendary people are actually very nice, humble, and grounded humans in real life. That's probably not always the case. How wonderful it must be to live in NYC, given all the celebrity-spotting, world-class music and theater performances, beautiful architecture and historical buildings, and all those fantastic restaurants! Are you a musician/guitarist, too?
You are my hero Joe!wouldn’t be playing guitar if not for your music.
This guy vinnieful84 is saying Joe is a boring & bad musician. At present I am having a big argument with him regarding this. Can you help me shut his sorry ass by joining in the argument. Check the 1st comment made by "vinnieful84". You'll be fuming like me.
Aniruddha Biswas haha.no point in fighting over the internet.you can’t change his opinion most likely.the satriani vs Gilbert vs malmsteen vs Steve vai argument has been going on for decades.
Im not sure if I've ever been so happy to watch a guitar video. Hearing him describe the way he learned chronologically is exactly the way that I feel it for myself. I'm only just over a year in, but I'm experiencing all of those emotions. Really cool. All masters were once beginners.
I remember back in the day I learned surfing with the alien and flying in a blue dream note for note. I totally can’t play them now.
I always loved Joes feel and use of legato mix with bluesy notes. And still do.
This is excellent advice! I'm a self-taught guitarist and I definitely screwed up along the way. All I did was play songs I liked, scales, arpeggios, etc..., but I cannot write or compose a song if my life depended on it. I'm not interested in being in a band. I just enjoy playing the music I like and that's it. I never learned about music theory, harmony, and so on. So I just play what I like for my own satisfaction.
Thanks Joe. You are so talented. I enjoy learning about how you began your journey in music. Your passion in expressing your thoughts with the guitar as the extension is amazing.
Thanks again for taking the time to teach.
Great stuff! It would be wonderful if eventually Joe could demonstrate his Songwriting process by actually writing a song IN FRONT OF US, take us through the process literally step by step.
Thank you for this it's amazing pls get yngwie on it too!
NO! Yngwie is a CRAP teacher! Haven't you ever seen his instructionals? Ughhhhh!
Joe Satriani is an amazing teacher so I'm really grateful for any knowledge he provides. Thanks for the lesson and I can't wait for the next one!!
Which issue is this out of and what are the 17 chords he was talking about?
He just plays those ? Basic first position chords.
This one is March 2018 edition
"Free-Range Chicken" had such potential ! I wish Joe would have kept going. LMAO
Seriously, one of the most humble guitar virtuosos (Vai also) that will give a stranger the time of day and LISTEN to what they have to say. Giant human beings with huge hearts.
Thank you Guitar World for a fantastic series with Joe, very inspiring and insightful.
Thank you Joe for all you have given and shared to us musicians and guitarist's all over the big wide WORLD!!! XXXX
Anybody know where to get the DIAGRAMS referenced in these lesson videos?
I love this man, he loves his instrument and what comes out of it, truly inspiring🤟
Go back to E if you freak out. I've never left E. 😂
Guitar World, when will the "figures" be published in the magazine or elsewhere?
Harvendar Bains i googled it: www.guitarworld.com/lessons/joe-satriani-master-class-satch-shows-you-how-to-express-yourself-on-guitar
They are in the magizines
James Tillman or on the guitar world website, ref the link I posted above ;) the magazine isn't in the kiosks anymore
Stéphane Jouin its sold at the stores where i live. Well not that issue. So you have a point.
James Tillman yes, and I think it's nice to have it on a website: you can zoom in and open it in any device ;)
I love that final statement about style is formed from your opinion.
Please, does someone know the song at 1:08? I looked up lady in pink but can't find anything!!!
Life is complete - Satch playing the Alex Lifeson chord. Long live F#Maj7 :D
So.. has anyone ever figured out what magic chords were on "joe's Magic chord sheet"? There's 17 of them, I'd love to learn them! I can't find anywhere that has them though.
When I started playing GUITAR in the MID 70's, to learn playing GUITAR, there wasn't too many guitar books, and the way most people learned songs was to play albums (16,33,45rpm) at a slow speed (16rpm) and copied what you heard and than just speeded it up!!! NOW YOU ARE TAUGHT BY "GUITAR GREATS ON VIDEO"!!! THX GOD for letting me start playing GUITAR!!! THIS HAS TO BE THE "GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN!!! (ripEVHbro) 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
im three weeks in on learning the first nine open chords and this video just blew my mind. an absolute beginners lesson from a guitar legend, what more could i ask for? just an awesome video, now, i gotta practice my chords, lol.
Pretty sure more than beginners, pro guitarists are watching this series thinking ‘what did I miss’. 😋

12:39 "the dreaded F" even for Joe Satriani LOL. i always like him
This is everything I wish I knew when I first started. Had to figure this all out the hard way
The opinion about what they play. Wtf. This is cool. Joe has to be my guitar teacher. Teach me Joe!!!
It's so cool to be able to set and listen to a genius talk about how he began to play it's the kind of thing i always thought about when i first heard him and many other's just to learn what they were thinking and Joe is one very important one to me along with EVH and Steve Via just amazing to know.
open six string E m chord with one finger!! try that!
What a guitar wizard Joe is. A true genius. If you want to learn how to be a guitar player then study someone like Slash or Zack Wylde. But if you want to learn how to be a guitar virtuoso, then study from Joe Satriani.
Who knows, why in e.g. minor scale Am in backtrack they show chord progression and I often meet among the chords major chords? If Key is minor so for me all chords should be minor. Logically, if I "improvise" (I am complete beginners!) then I have 2 ways: 1) play all the time Am scale or 2) changing solo according to chord progression, but then I have to change keys and scales (e.g. major scales and let's suppose progression G, B). Am I right or wrong. For beginner it's difficult to answer the question for this may be obvious issue? BTW Do we really can still call such a song Am key and scale?
A cord progression that calls for A minor scale lead will almost always have a major cord in it. The C major scale contains the exact same notes as the A minor scale. So mixing major and minor cords is not inconsistent.
@@williameubank4983 Thank you very much. Happy New Year 2019 ! :)
I would give my left foot to have 6 months of lesson with Joe.
WysteriaGuitar then you will have great difficulty in playing guitar cause the left foot support the guitar (for right handed guitarists). Lol. May God give me at least an hour of lesson with him.
WysteriaGuitar that's my tapping foot
I never said I would not use a prosthetic device. :0
I would also give your left foot for those lessons. ;)
Man how I wish I knew who Joe was back in the day. I’m now 54 and this man has inspired me like no one ever. In my opinion the greatest guitarist on the planet.
You are absolutely right, this man really got style, talent and full of romantic wonders.I envy Vai so much that he could be Joe's student hahaha~
where do i find the tabs for this?
The reason why i played guitar is JOE SATRIANI.. You will ALWAYS be my hero Joe.. Thank you soooo MUCH..
PAUL E.T. We can see that from your pic.. just need to shave your head
Is he playing the JS2480 MCR?
Is your guitar usually tuned down a 1/2 step? (E-flat)
yeah if you watch the interview with rick beato, Joe says he's been tuning to E flat for a while now
All that he mentions here resonates so much with what I experienced when I first started playing. It’s great to know that he experienced this too. I don’t know why I’m kind of surprised about that but I am.
What kind of neck pickup is that?
Matthew Rushin that is a sustainer pick up..
That is great I dont think to many men would admit there is some emotion to playing. The more feeling the beter the playing.
But where do I get the chord book he mentioned?
As a guitarist for years, I am so glad I came across this Gem. Thank you Satch!
"Develop an opinion of what they're playing". Great point of view and objective.

I needed to see this 20years ago, i would have progressed so much faster. So good to get inside the mind of a guitar god!! Thanks 4 the vid!!
Anyone know where the Figures are referring to are?
Can somebody please tell me what guitar is it?
Thank you so much mr. Satriani for taking the time to share your thoughts about beginning musicians and what is important to learn. Hearing simple guidelines for Margaret R Heroes provides inspiration and real meat on the bone for Vernon guitarist and we appreciate it so much! Take care and best of luck to you!
Does anyone know the first 2 chords he plays?
2:19 what sound is that?
Joe is gonna turn on so many light bulbs as this series takes shape....can’t wait!
Actually Satriani's eyes always have dark shadows under them (must be from countless hours spent in perfecting his technique). I guess that's why he always wears sunglasses. Lol. But his lessons feels better when we can see his expressive eyes. Search "10 tips from Satriani" lesson on CZcams to see my point.
He wears sunglasses because he's photosensitive. Usually, you have studio lights shinning right in your face in professional video recordings.
CrimSun thanks man for the info. I really didn't knew that. I should die in shame for not knowing such about my idol. Damn I am kicking me right now.
I really love jazz, but I have always found Satriani as a great master in the instrument itself.
Excellent. More, please!

Yeah, but can he play "happy birthday"?
wow that's is genius I am going to remember that thank you!!
he can make the song better
Why, is it your birthday?
czcams.com/video/c0D_xEnnt44/video.html
Let me know when part 20 comes out
he blows me away every time he explains things. its great to relate to what hes saying
because its so true.
maybe i missed it though
as hes showing the simplicity of one chird over abd over. ge doesnt mention really or point out that hes palm muting which i consider an advanced technique that should be learned asap . palm muting is so integral to playing guitar. its what the pedals on a piano do aswell. at least one lf the pedals i think
Back in the days I showed a new Satch tune to my sister.
"What are u thinking as you 're listening ? " - I asked.
" I am thinking of flying" - she replied.
"And where are u flying ? " - me .
" I am flying in a dream " - says she.
"What colour is your dream ? " -me
"well...BLUE".
True story.
And were you playing "Surfing with the Alien"...?! 😆
🤔
The first time I ever heard Joe Satriani play (on a $1 bargain bin CD with a broken case) and experienced "The Forgotten"- I was paralyzed, inexplicably bawling in tears (- and I'm a grown man for God's sake!!), as all I could feel was helplessness, pain, lonely death, and was overwhelmed with the vision of children in starvation. When I heard him explain that he HAD to write it when overcome by emotion after seeing a commercial in his hotel room by an organization raising funds to help the staving children overseas they were showing....(add intense blood chilling realization here) I knew I had found my Sensei. He is truly amazing and gifted... we are so all blessed to have received his amazing and wonderful gifts!
I put a Satch cassette on (Yes I typed cassette.) I didn't look at the names of the pieces. When I came to a composition I said to myself, " This would be good for drivin at night. Then I checked the cassette box and the name of the piece was called "Driving at Night ".
Super educational...thanx guitar world

Whoa, I didn't know I knew 17 first-position chords!
Okay that part was easy...
Terrific ... well done guys !!
What guitar is this? The tone is mind blowing.
Satrianis signature ibanez
Ibanez JS24P. It's a medium end model (premium) made in Korea. Price is $1500. It's pretty cheaper than his Japan models.
If you were a fan, you would know.
