'''Joe "Satch" Satriani''' is an [[Instrumentals|instrumental rock]] and [[Progressive Rock]] guitarist from Westbury, New York. He is an immensely influential man and the teacher of other guitar legends including [[Steve Vai]] and [[Metallica (Music)|Kirk Hammett]]. He is the guitarist for [[Chickenfoot]]. He sued [[Coldplay]] for [http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22If+I+Could+Fly%22+%22Viva+La+Vida%22&aq=f plagiarism of his 2004 song] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FclrtPUquhQ "If I Could Fly"] for use in their 2008 Grammy winning "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5TNK-TvIcI Viva La Vida]." Note that he sued ''before'' Coldplay won the Grammy. The case was settled out of court.
 
In 1993, he was a temporary member of [[Deep Purple]], after Ritchie Blackmore abruptly left in the middle of a tour. He declined an offer to join as a permanent member after the tour.
 
In 1996, Satriani started the first of many G3 tours, where he and two other guitarists([[Steve Vai|Vai]] usually one of them), would play individually and then together. Ever since the tour has featured: [[Dream Theater (Music)|John Petrucci]], [[Eric Johnson]], [[Kenny Wayne Sheperd]], [[Yngwie Malmsteen (Music)|Yngwie Malmsteen]], [[Scorpions (Music)|Micheal Schenker]], [[Uli Jon Roth]], [[Paul Gilbert]], [[Adrian Legg]], and [[King Crimson|Robert Fripp]].
 
Satriani's style consists of high speed legato, two-handed tapping, and whammy bar harmonics, combined with a deep understanding of music theory that make him one of the most technically advanced guitarists.

== This guitarist may exhibit the following tropes: ==
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Crowd Chant]]. It turns ridiculous when he begins doing some of his more outlandish tricks and the crowd has to try and keep up.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: In his younger days.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: In the present.
Line 62 ⟶ 61:
*** Actually, he managed to get permission for the use of the character before the album was re-released in 1999.
** He is also a big fan of [[Star Trek]]. His song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTKMwDseymw "Crowd Chant"] was going to be originally called "Party On The Enterprise" but couldn't get royalties for the Star Trek soundbites he used. He released without the bites and called it "Crowd Chant".
** There's also ''[[CatsCat's Cradle|Ice 9]]''.
* [[Progressive Rock]]: A large portion of his material qualifies.
* [[Self-Titled Album]]: A case of it not being his debut, but rather being released in 1995, almost a decade after his debut.
