About Joe Satriani
Joe Satriani doesn’t just play guitar—he bends it to his will. The New York-born virtuoso redefined instrumental rock in the late ‘80s with Surfing with the Alien (1987), a high-octane masterclass in soaring melodies, liquid-smooth legato, and otherworldly technique. But Satriani is more than just a shredder—his playing is expressive, lyrical, and always in service of the song. Over the decades, he’s continued to push the boundaries of rock guitar, from the cosmic explorations of The Elephants of Mars (2022) to mentoring legends like Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett. Whether he’s blazing through hyperspeed solos or crafting soulful ballads, Satriani proves that six strings are all you need to tell a story.
