Joe "The Saint" Satriani <emotion-over-skill>


Joe Satriani was inspired to play guitar at age 14 after hearing that Jimi Hendrix had died. Satriani reportedly heard the news during a football training session where he immediately confronted his coach and announced that he was quitting to become a guitarist.

"I'm just inspired by everyday life. I find it very wondrous. There is so much to reflect upon, to write about, to dream about, and to hope for."

In his younger days, he found hinself wound up in San Fransico. Working in a guitar shop and giving lessons, he thought kids such as; Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus), David Bryson (Counting Crows) and many others.

The G3 project:

This was set up to stop the competition between world class guitarists, and to bring them together, as they found themselves on oppisite sides of the globe quite a lot.
Satrani, Vai, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Fripp, Patrick Rondat and more featued here.
