I really love his teaching style. He is magnificent at conveying concepts. I've learnt a lot from some of his articles and teaching material. Anyone who wants to improve the guitar playing should absolutely study Joe Satriani.
The one thing I really love about all these instructional videos Joe has done over the years is that he's really trying to teach the student real musicianship. A lot of the videos nowadays mostly focus on speed (and that's fine, I admit to being a shred fan myself) - but imo things like knowing all the different keys, scales and modes, recognizing intervals and chord voicings are so much more important for one to become a professional musician than just technical ability.
This video is very good. I have seen Joe in concert many times and knew he was a teacher but this really shows him in a manner such as I haven't seen before. He has a very calm, matter-of-fact nature that is so not intimidating. I've always thought he seemed like a cool dude but this really confirms it. Very helpful and usable tips. Go Joe!
Excellent! Most people on youtube want to show you a particular run, method or song. I'm always left wondering how they attain those particular sounds. My hands never seem to be strong or agile enough to do it so I get frustrated and quit trying. This shows me how to build a foundation for doing those things. Thank you.
@bulaba911 You must have misunderstood me; I think Joe Satriani is one of the best musicians alive, and one of the best guitarists too. I was just trying to reason with another commenter.
Joe, You're awesome!! There's not too many guitar gods out there today that share with us lowly amatures (that aspire to play like this) as much as you do. THANKS AGAIN!!
I posted this video to help guitarists of multiple skill levels, to allow them to hear advice from a master in the field. If you are here to bash Joe Satriani, I kindly ask you to leave.
i love how he says im not really warmed up yet even though he can play that tiny solo with amazing speed and accuracy and show us those amazing little drills and lessons
Thank God this dude is on the face of this world. His music has gotten me through so many problems, i have a lot of respect for this talented man. thank you Joe you re the best.
Joe Satriani has a good soul and that is why he is blessed with the way he plays, he has worked very hard for it and anyone who wants to be good needs to put in the research and the hard work and to know your limitations, thank you Joe for such a cool lesson
This provided me with a whole new look on scales. I don't know any scales except A minor pentatonic because I don't feel like learning music theory. This has motivated me to try and use the whole neck.
Satriani IS a great teacher. He learnt from and taught some great guitarists himself. He probably is one of the greatest guitar knowledge experts (playing wise) alive today. Do what feels comfortable was a tip i particularly like and it's the most important. Everyone is different and uses different playing styles, think outside the box.. Good video.
Great tips! sorta simplifies my practice routine now. Guitar is not overly complex when simply following these rituals. After a few weeks you really start to notice some great dexterity. Guitar playing to me is, muscular development and communication between fingers and different parts of the brain that are not commonly used before undergoing guitar playing. Hand to eye coordination is also bettered.
Great tips. But he still tried to kill Harry Potter.
Yes!!! you're right!!
Damn spiders
