Happy birthday to Joe Satriani!

July 15, 1956, marks the birth of American rock guitar virtuoso, composer, and producer Joseph Satriani! The internet says that Satch's former students include Kirk Hammett, Alex Skolnick, Rick Hunolt, Steve Vai, and Larry LaLonde and who knows who else. Joe has sold ten million albums and racking up 15 Grammy nominations. He is the ultimate go-to guitarist. In 1988, Mick Jagger recruited him as lead guitarist for his first solo tour. Later, in 1993, he stepped up to tour with Deep Purple immediately following Ritchie Blackmore's second departure. From shredding like nobody's business with the G3 tours and rocking with the Red Rocker Sammy Hagar, and surfing with aliens and flying in blue dreams, man oh man, Joe is guitar player's player!
