Joe Satriani
Joe Satriani taught some of the top rock guitar musician of the 80s & 90s, Joe Satriani is one of the most technically sound and widely recognized guitarists to emerge today. When You mention Guitar, Joe Satriani’s name surfaces pretty darn fast.
Joe Satriani, — Born July 15, 1956 in — Westbury NY raised in the nearby town of Carle Place. Joe Satriani inspired by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix and started playing guitar at the age of fourteen, although he was initially more interested in banging on the old drums. 
Big Joe quickly learned the instrument, Satriani began teaching the guitar to others and found a similar kindred spirit in one of his students, Steve Vai. By the late 1970s, however, Satriani had relocated to Berkeley, California. With his sights set on his own musical career, Joe kept teaching many other students, including such future rocker stars as — Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Larry LaLonde of Primus, David Bryson of the Counting Crows, and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter. Just to name a few students.

JOE SATRIANI INTO THE LIGHT
In the early 1980s, Joe Satriani got a gig playing guitar with power pop star Greg Kihn, doing some session work and touring with his group an archival release recorded around this time, King Biscuit Flower Hour, was later issued in 1996, and issuing his own solo self titled EP in 1984, financing and releasing the project entirely on his own. But when Steve Vai hit the big time as the guitarist of David Lee Roth’s solo band in 1986, he offered praise for his good friend and former teacher in several major guitar publications leading to much interest in Joe Satriani’s playing. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect for Satch, as he’d just issued his first full-length solo album, Not of This Earth, that automatically gave notice to the guitar community.
