Hello from Ukraine! Steve and Joe, you're brilliant!). Thank you for the music, inspiration and your mastership sharing! P.S: Joe, I have ticket to the cancelled show in Kiev2019, ))) Anyway, hope to see you in Kyiv after all these war and covid stuff....
What an OUTSTANDING interview Joe! You are such a great man. It is very apparent how much you value other people and give them space to shine and answer GREAT questions. ❤
He’s got the chops, the voice, and he has the joy, knowledge and enthusiasm to ask the other gods all of the questions that the uninitiated cannot. I bathe in every episode and come away smarter
That was just off the charts... Comes to show love for all things music and all things guitar cannot be pigeonholed into "styles". Bravo Joe. Now get the other two Italian shredders on JS and JP !!!
I LOVE STEVE VAI HES SO TALENTED AND SUCH A HUMBLE FRIENDLY GUY HES THE OPPOSITE OF JACK BUTLER FROM CROSS ROADS HES A REALLY PASSIONATE PERSON YOU CAN SEE THE PASSION IN HIS MUSIC LIE SWEET SURRENDER! FEW MEN LEFT LIKE HIM EXCEPT THE GODS OF GUITAR THE BROTHER HOOD AND THE HUMANITARIAN WAY THE TREAT THEIR FELLOW MAN IS COMENDBLE !!! YESHUAH
I've been a player for 59 years I would give anything to sit down and just chat with these guys. I have thought , what would you talk about home, music, life, touring but more over how they tie together.
I was in high school when "Crossroads" came out and I went to see it with some friends, me and another one playing guitar at that time. I remember that we laughed our asses off when Steve Vai messed up the last part and lost. It was too obvious! He was playing all the fast parts up and down the neck and the last part was 5 slowly played notes and he couldn't play them right. It WAS obvious, ha, ha! A few years later, early '90s I think, I saw Joe Satriani live and a couple of years later Steve Vai in Athens, Greece. I grabbed a ticket as soon as I saw the posters along with a friend, rare shows like this here, and we were blown away!
I’m admittedly a novice when it comes to Steve Vai’s style, But I appreciate the creativity, the skill, the lightning fast fingers, the music…yes, the CREATIVITY, the SKILL, The EXPLOSION of sound! Not that it is necessarily necessary, but I’m certain Steve’s advanced music education plays an enormous role in all this, ....... and GOOD teachers!
My dearest friend ! Let me give you this message in this way..... I've seen that our " Spanish nephew " is well and healthy again . He and his band will play a concert soon . Information from FB . All the best for you ! Always in my heart ! ❤️
@@margots.597... Margot, it is so good to hear from you after such a long time. I hope you are doing well. I remember the sadness when your mother passed away, and I hope you have been feeling better. We missed you at every live chat! I’m not sure about our “Spanish nephew”. I really question whether he was the same drummer as in that band. Maybe so, maybe not. But he told me that his actual name was Alejandro. I miss him, and felt very bad to think that he may not have recovered from his illness. Too sad. I hope you are right, and that he is the same drummer that he originally claimed to be, and that he is indeed well. Looking forward to chatting with you in Joe’s next live chat video. Hope the wait is not too long. By the way, I still always smile when I think of “purzelbaum”, LOL, which you taught me!
Hey your r the man another thumbs up from me brother if I can ever get me another guitar I want set down watch an try play along with u amazing man keep up the great job u do from North Carolina
Hello, this is Ralph from Germany. I have to tell you, that GUITARmusic is not on radio since about 15 Years in my country. I have students,10 years old. They burn for electric guitar, and am very glad about that. What's the situation in US? Very interresting conversation of 2 well known masters.
Great. Just great. The best. I mean… really? Two New York Italians talking about music and guitars and nerding out in the grandest of geekery; being watched and listened to by one of both their biggest fans - an Italian from New York (Long Island, to be clear) who nerds out… Probably my favorite bit here today, Joe. And, you’ve given me many great and favorite interviews over the past whatever it’s been. Thanks so much. Kill it on the road. Hope I get to see you out there somewhere and Rock On. Or, Don’t Come Home!! LOL Just kidding. Be Safe!!! Bless You and Your Band. 🎶🎶🌻🌈🌅🎶🎶☮️💙
Thanks for validating me, Steve! My first "better" guitar was a Univox Les Paul that I bought at Terminal Music Supply (next door to Manny's) on a HS class trip. That was a decent guitar.
Joe which year Fender champ is the one you feel is the best ? I tried one years ago with a tiny 5 inch? speaker, tweed, single knob, jewel light, very brown sounding, sounded like early EVH tone with a simple OD pedal.
Great interview. So if Steve startled playing at 12, then he was transcribing for Zappa at 18. That means he had only been playing for 6 years. That is amazing
Really enjoyed that. Not particularly a fan, but if you're a guitarist, you have to recognize SV is a 'legend of the sport'. Seems like a lovely guy, too.
You guys should do an album,but in a qualified way.With Steve having played Jack Butler,and Joe referencing Italian Catholicism ,it is very obvious that the Pope would need to sign off on it.
Will Mr. Vai please post all of the Satch lessons? Will Mr. Bonamassa please post the tapes that Danny Gatton made for him? It would be so beneficial for everyone who is serious about learning Guitar. I know it's a lot to ask but if you're both serious about charity like I know you both are. Then please share these wonderful ideas, tips & things to think about & study. We need this info out in the world & accessible to everyone & anyone who is interested.
Yes, Pedro Moose is right, Episode #3. Live From Nerdville with Joe Bonamassa - Episode 3 - Neal Schon, Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nF40zyuA8Yk.html
Do you know Joe you’re so right about Steve and Joe Satriani you don’t miss the singer that’s why it seems so natural to listen to these guys I mean I’m a drummer but I’ve always got off on listen to Joe Satriani‘s music and Steve Vai‘s music a matter fact I brag about them to the other musicians in my life
