It is an often told story that the Long-Island-bred, San Francisco-dwelling Joe ‘Satch’ Satriani started out as a guitar teacher, grooming the skills of all-star pupils such as Metallica’s Kirk Hammet, Primus’ Larry LaLonde, Testament’s Alex Skolnick, Counting Crows’ David Bryson, as well as modern day peer, guitar wizard Steve Vai. 

Embarking on his recording career, Satriani’s 1986 full-length debut ‘Not of this Earth’ was followed in 1987 by his breakthrough album, the seminal ‘Surfing With The Alien’. The album was the first instrumental guitar album to break into the US Top 40 and 26 years on, the album still remains the measuring stick by which all instrumental rock guitar records are still considered.

Satriani quickly established his reputation as one of rock’s most talented guitarists and has repeatedly been voted “best guitarist” in leading guitar magazine readers’ polls. An undisputed master of modern rock guitar he has gone on to sell more than ten million albums worldwide, earn numerous accolades including 14 Grammy nominations, as well as developing his own guitar line with Ibanez.

Satch’s previous visit to New Zealand was as one-third the guitar-heaven supergroup G3, which he co-founded with Steve Vai, the group touring here in 2012 with fellow (Toto) axeman Steve Lukather.

Joe Satriani continues to deliver master classes in spellbinding guitar wizardry – don’t miss him, live in concert.
