Kolin Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Have you ever heard a song by any musical artist, and KNEW you have to dow...er...buy every single CD ever made by that artist on the spot? I have to say that I have never run into that situation until now with Joe Satriani. I don't know why I have never listened to the guitar virtuosos before now (Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie, etc), but I have now made sure that I never run into that mistake again. For those who are unfamiliar with Satriani's work (or would like to hear more if you have only heard him in GH for instance), here is some links to the songs I found were my favorites by him : Always With Me, Always With You http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=F4fPv450OYM The Extremist http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ao3qgJ3AfI Surfing With The Alien http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=VO8QsoNOV ... re=related Is there any other Satriani / Virtuoso fans here? If so, who is your favorite, and which song by them would be your favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warri0r45 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm not really into buying everything by an artist on the spot because of hearing one thing, but I have heard an album by a band called Blotted Science and I could tell straight away that the guitarist is excellent. I'm talking a Vai/Petrucci-esque talent. His name is Ron Jarzombek. Check out his chops in Synaptic Plasticity (mind you, the picture in this video is of a former band that Ron was in; it's not Blotted Science).

Lateralus Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I like Satch, but I find that a lot of his music is filler. I went to see him live and he just played the cream of each album, which was good. La lune ne garde aucune rancune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaziek Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 my favourite satch song is crushing day. by a mile. in terms of other guitar virtuosos, I'm getting into john5 as well recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernlov Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 All style, no substance. Why? Because it's overly technical, boring, show-off [bleep]ery that's not to be taken seriously, apart from Yngwie. I approach him and his music with utmost seriousness.

assassin_696 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I quite like some of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani's stuff, but as a rule I don't go for virtuosos. I like something behind the music, some kind of soul or story. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Satriani's good :D His playing style, to me at least, has a bit more emotion than other guitarists with a similar style. Closest group to buying everything they've made was Dream Theater, and mainly because they never play them on the radio.

Evil_Sabre Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Surprised no one has mentioned Zaza yet, he's pretty amazing. Buckethead has to be my favorite though, musical genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalcyte Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 ugh, i feel like those guitarists and that type of guitarist just plays fast and loud which is good if you like that type of stuff, but i don't think that makes you incredible. Radiohead. I hadn't really listened to any of their stuff besides like Karma Police and then i bought In Rainbows and suddenly realized that this was one of the greatest if not the greatest active band on the face of the planet. Proceed to get OK Computer, an EP, Amnesiac, everything. Brilliant.

A lot of people know Buckethead just as a shredder with no emotion or originality. In reality he's a musical genius, he excels in every genre he's ever played. I'm sure most other virtuosos are the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragen Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I don't own any pure guitar albums, even though I play guitar. I'd like to but I'm always short for cash so it often isn't an option. If I could I'd look into John Petrucci's solo work and Guthrie Govan. bUZK9dasP8s& Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

Hawks Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm a big fan of Joe Satriani, I think we own all of his albums... Anything with lots of guitar is good for me. I actually like the ones where he sings the most, The Phone Call sticks in my mind... Also Trans-Siberian Orchestra has another album (not just Xmas music) 'Beethoven's Last Night' kind of morbid but really great bits of guitar... sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
