Satch Boogie

My all time favorite is Joe Satriani (born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, New York), better known as ‘Satch’. I respect this rock guitarist and teacher, who was brought to the limelight by his student, another virtuoso guitarist I like, Steve Vai. Satriani has received 13 Grammy nominations, and he has sold more than 10 million albums.

The first Satriani album I heard was ‘Surfing with the Alien’. Blown away by the two-handed tapping, sweeping picks and speed, I checked out ‘Flying in a Blue Dream’. Enchanted by that I collected every Satriani I could get and even now I listen with all the verve I had when I heard him for the first time. A great artist.
