Acknowledgments
Index
For three decades, Joe Satriani, the biggest-selling
instrumental rock guitarist in the Soundscan era, has traveled the
world, playing to sold-out crowds both as a headliner and as
founder of the all-star "G3" guitar extravaganza. His studio and
live recordings have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. Of
his 14 solo albums, two have gone platinum and four others went
gold, with 15 Grammy nominations between them. In 1988, Mick Jagger
invited Joe to perform as lead guitarist on his first solo tour,
and in 1994, Joe toured with Deep Purple as their lead guitarist.
His side project, Chickenfoot, featuring former Van Halen front man
Sammy Hagar and former bassist Michael Anthony, and Red Hot Chili
Peppers drummer Chad Smith, saw their debut album certified
gold.
Award-winning music biographer Jake Brown has written 35
published books in his decade-long career, featuring many
authorized collaborations with some of rock's biggest artists. In
2012, Brown won the Association for Recorded Sound Collections
Awards in the category of Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound
Research.
"Joe has refined his own style of playing to a point where he's
forever up there in the stratosphere of excellence that is reached
by very few musicians."
Brian May
"Every time Joe puts his fingers on a guitar, what comes out sounds
like inspired music, even if its just a finger exercise. He created
and branded a niche with his own voice and in so doing he wielded
an entire genre."
Steve Vai
"After all the times I had been on stages with Joe, been on the
side of stages watching and listening to Joe, and all the times I
have been in the audience cheering for Joe, I continue to have no
idea how Joe does what he does."
Robert Fripp
"Joe Satriani's my favorite guitar player."
Sammy Hagar
