Joe Satriani
Driving along to loud music this week-end - taking yet
another load to the dump I asked my son who the guitarist was.
Joe – also known as Satch - was born in New York
Eventually he became a teacher and many of his pupils have
made a name for themselves. In 1975 he
moved to Berkeley
In 1988 he played
for Mick Jagger and has been associated with Deep Purple, Alice Cooper and
Chicken foot.
Flying in a Blue Dream
which he wrote in 1989 was inspired by the death of his father and his guitar
playing in this voices his joy and anguish - once the video escapes the audience
preliminaries and gets into its stride.
I found it and – I have to confess him –mesmerising.
The video below If I
could fly was said to have inspired Coldplay’s Viva la Vida
There was some controversy and it was settled out of court. There is a limit to what I can post –
something vital is ‘too small’ but if your appetite is whetted explore You Tube.
I warned Sheila, my help, there would be loud guitar music
this morning and just as she was leaving she said:
‘I’ve discovered your secret, I was expecting some Segovia
Can’t be badJ

I've always known you were a rock chick!
Good music! I had never heard of him before.
And being a rock chick is a good thing!
Now THERE'S a name I never expected to see on your blog! I am gobsmacked! And "inspired" is being kind to Coldplay. I'd classify it as a blatant ripoff.
Daphne: was it the leather jacket?
Marjolein: me neither but he's a welcome addition to my treasures.
UB: I'm not all lace and double damask, dinner napkins:)
I don't want to end up in court but clearly there was something amiss for a settlement to have happened.
I look forward to seeing the photos of you dressed all in leathers :)
LOL rock on, mama! ;) xoxoxoxo
Kim: leather trousers I abhor:)
Savannah: I rock to Joe - but only in solitude. Mustn't frighten the horses.xoxoxox
Brilliant! You rocker,you! :-)
John: you might have told me about him;)
Rock chicks and hip hop babes, they don't get any better. :D
I am having a "sound"problem....I cannot here anything on YouTube or here....And, on top of that, I don't have any idea of who this guy is....I know---Shame On me!!! (lol)
Methinks we have only just scratched the surface with Pat and her wayward past. Still waters run deep.
I have heard of him, but I don't know his music. I'll have to remedy that.
I think I have to second all of the above comments.
Your choice of music today is outstanding.
cheers, parsnip
Joey: that's good to hear:)
Naomi: that's such a pity - I'm sure you'd appreciate his talent.
I didn't know about him until this weekend.
Chef: no no. Like most women what you see is what you get.
Judy: I find I don't like all his music but this one is ace.
Parsnip: such fun to discover a new musician who rocks you.
No shock that you rock:)
Nope, that's not a bad thing at all. :)
Granny Annie; takes one to know one:)
Mage: just don't ask me to wear those heels.
How splendid to have discovered your inner rocker, I could see you dressed like Bjork.
Rock On Pat! :¬)

Satriani is one of those guitarists' guitarists who uses a particular signature Ibanez guitar shape.
And if you've ever seen Spın̈al Tap (the comedy movie about a rock band) it's Satriani playing some of the Nigel Tufnel riffs.
Set the volume to 11. Here's Nigel on Satriani ;-)

Rashbre: thanks - that's funny. I must se Spinal Tap one of these days.
does that mean Joe has a SOH?
Eryl: I'm definitely not wearing her dying swan dress.
Map: great hair style hasn't he?
As had I, once! :¬)

I can't access the link to the music, sorry.
Gadjo: that's a pity. It's really is great IMO.
When you have a moment go to You Tube or Google Joe Satriani and 'If I could fly.'
'Tis what I like about you, Pat. You don't fit into a 'box'...nurse, model, business-woman, and don't forget that you were in the acting world. You've always kept an open mind about life, it is there to be discovered.
Rock on!
GG: I try - not always successfully.
Ah yes, very nice - quality rock music!
