Joe Satriani

About

One of the few shredders to really "make it" Satriani is not only an incredible player but a fantastic teacher as well. He's taught other famous guitarists such as Charlie Hunter, Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, and Kirk Hammett

What to listen for

One of Satriani's defining features are his fast legato packages which he plays with just his left hand. He also has a gift for creating melodies and structuring songs.
