Along with teaching some of the top rock guitar players of the '80s and '90s, Joe Satriani is one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge in recent times. A young Satriani was inspired by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, and picked up the guitar at the age of 14. Quickly learning the instrument, Satriani began teaching guitar to others and found a kindred spirit in one of his students, Steve Vai. By the late '70s, Satriani had relocated to Berkeley, CA and had his sights set on his own musical career. He kept teaching others, including such future rock notables as Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus) and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter, all while focusing also on his solo career.
Fast forward a few decades - the New York native now boasts over 12 albums to his name and a staggering 13 Grammy® nominations to go along with them.
His records have sold over 7 million copies worldwide. In fact, his sophomore effort Surfing With the Alien became the first instrumental guitar album to crack the Top 40 charts.
Don't miss him at The Chicago Theatre, with special guest Mountain.
