Official website Discografie Agenda << < > >>


Joe Satriani is one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge in recent times.
Born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, NY, and raised in the nearby town of Carle Place, Satriani, inspired by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, picked up the guitar at the age of 14 (although he was initially more interested in the drums). Quickly learning the instrument, Satriani began teaching guitar to others and found a kindred spirit in one of his students, Steve Vai.

His first full-length solo album is called Not of this Earth, which automatically made ripples in the rock guitar community.
But the best was still to come, in the form of his sophomore release, 1987's Surfing With the Alien.
Almost overnight, Satriani was widely regarded as one of rock's top guitarists.
The '90s began with Satriani creating his own line of guitars for the Ibanez company the JS (Joe Satriani) model. He also started the G3 guitar showcase tour with Steve Vai in 1996, becoming an annual event.
