Joe Satriani

Ep 53: The iconic guitarist and composer talks SatchVai Band, his earliest inspirations, and his plans for the future Hello, music lovers! Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I’m your host, musician and music journalist Jeff Miers. Today’s guest is one of the most critically lauded and commercially successful rock guitarists of his generation. Since the 1987 release of his second album, the evergreen Surfing with the Alien, Joe Satriani has been nominated for 15 Grammy Awards and sold more than 10 million albums. And he did all of this with a body of work that is almost exclusively instrumental. Taking a page from the book of the late Jeff Beck, Satriani blended a penchant for memorable melodies, intense and ambitious arrangements, and considerable virtuosity, in the process, becoming the best-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time. For his latest venture, Satriani has teamed with one of his oldest friends and collaborators - another legend, who also happens to be a former student of Satriani’s - the great Steve Vai, to form The SatchVai Band. (For our listeners here in Buffalo, NY, you’ll have the opportunity to catch this powerhouse in action at Kleinhans Music Hall on Tuesday, May 12.) During our chat, Joe - who also happens to be one of the nicest guys I’ve ever encountered in the music business - reflected on his earliest musical inspirations, the importance of jazz in the development of his musical imagination, why the SatchVai Band puts a perma-grin on his face, and his passion for the soon-to-be-released first studio album from that band.

Joe Satriani chats with Renee DiNino about of the 2017 documentary Joe Satriani: Beyond The Supernova

Joe discusses "Invisible" in episode #11 in the 12 Days of What Happens Next, which included recording while Steve Vai and Brendan Small looked on and daydreaming about what it would be like to turn invisible and then to come back.

Joe asks "is that a good title or not?" and discusses how the funky, rude and groove-oriented "Super Funky Badass" showcases the unique sound of him, Chad Smith and Glenn Hughes. Enjoy episode #10 in the 12 Days of What Happens Next!

Joe's new song "Looper" is an exploration in pushing past the little voice that says "you can't do that on guitar".

Joe explains the "crazy boogie" inspiration behind "Headrush", the seventh track off his new album "What Happens Next"

Joe explains how "Smooth Soul" harkens back to when Joe was a young player listening to Carlos Santana and Jimi Hendrix learning that an electric guitar player could play a beautiful instrumental melody.

Joe talks about how "Righteous" nearly ended up as a vocal Bryan Adams track for the fifth episode of "The 12 Days of What Happens Next"
