Along with teaching some of the top
rock guitar players of the '80s and
'90s, 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. By the late '70s, however,
Satriani had relocated to Berkeley, CA.
With his sights set on his own musical
career, "Satch" kept teaching others,
including such future rock notables as
Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde
(Primus), David Bryson (Counting Crows),
and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter.
In the early '80s, Satriani got a gig
playing guitar with power popster Greg
Kihn, doing some session work and
touring with the group (an archival
release recorded around this time, King
Biscuit Flower Hour, was later issued in
1996), and issuing his own solo
self-titled EP in 1984, financing and
releasing the project entirely on his
own. But when Vai hit the big time as the
guitarist of David Lee Roth's solo band
in 1986, he offered praise for his good
friend and former teacher in several
major guitar publications, leading to
widespread interest in Satriani's
playing. The timing couldn't have been
more perfect for Satch, as he'd just
issued his first full-length solo
album, Not of this Earth, which
automatically made ripples in the rock

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, as the
album earned gold certification and the
guitarist would finish at the top of
guitar magazine polls for years
afterwards. He was even handpicked by
Mick Jagger to accompany the famous
singer on a tour of Australia and
Japan around this time. A stopgap EP,
Dreaming #11, combed both studio and
live tracks and was issued a year later,
and in 1989, Satriani issued his third
solo full-length, Flying in a Blue
Dream. Another sizeable hit, the album
also marked Satch's debut as a vocalist on
several tracks. His career received
another big push the same year when his
song, "One Big Rush," was included on
the soundtrack to Cameron Crowe's hit
movie, Say Anything.

The '90s began with Satriani creating
his own line of guitars for the Ibanez
company (the JS Joe Satriani model), but
it wasn't until 1992 that he would issue
his next solo release, The Extremist.
The double-disc set Time Machine
followed a year later (a combination
of new tracks, live material, and the
long out-of-print Joe Satriani EP from
1984), and in 1994, Satch filled in on
tour for the departed Ritchie Blackmore
for heavy metal pioneers Deep Purple.
Although he was asked to become a
full-time member, Satriani turned down the
offer to return to his solo career.

Satriani issued two more solo albums
during the '90s  1995's self-titled
release and 1998's Crystal Planet, and
also started the G3 guitar showcase tour
with Steve Vai in 1996, becoming an
annual event and issuing a live
document of the tour's initial run, G3:
Live in Concert, a year later. 2000 saw
Satriani issue his most musically daring
release yet, the electronic-based
Engines of Creation, and a year later,
the live disc Live in San Francisco.
Engines... was nominated for a Grammy
the next year, and after a successful
tour he stepped back into the studio.
The results, Strange Beautiful Music,
were released in 2002. In addition to
his own albums, Satriani has guested on
several other artists' albums over the
years, including Blue Oyster Cult's
Imaginos, Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid,
Stuart Hamm's Radio Free Albemuth, Pat
Martino's All Sides Now, and Spinal
Tap's Break Like the Wind.
