He's a brilliant player - in the top 10. He not only has a mastery of the instrument, he consistently makes music that doesn't suck. There are some very technically good musicians who don't make music I can really enjoy. I think my favorite might be his Surfing with Aliens album.

The OP actually heard me play an as-yet-not-public Satriani song the other day!

By the way - the guitar thread is hopping. I'm actually having issues keeping up with it.

I put Satriani at about the same place I put Malmsteen. They're both brilliant but I think I might have to say that Malmsteen is maybe technically a bit more where Satriani maybe a bit less - but making up for it with enjoyability. It's really hard to define a place between them - but I'd probably put Malmsteen on top, as a pure technical guitarist and Satriani would be who I'm more likely to have in my playlist without hitting skip.

Thanks. I knew you would have an informed, respected opinion.

I'm actually having issues keeping up with it.

Sounds a lot like Baron Von Frankenstein. You've created your own monster, but much better well-mannered. From what I've seen there, it's definitely worth the effort. I can't participate due to the drums being rather difficult (and loud) to just whip out when the mood hits, and since I'm no longer playing the only thing I have are reel to reel tapes that I never digitized. But please carry on. I enjoy it.

LOL There's always conversation to share. I'm sure many of the folks that share music may not know the history of the artists, how they tie together, or things like that. ;-)
