G3
As a guitarist, I look to Satch as a major influence. Not only is his technical ability staggering, but he mixes that ability with a level of feel that many of the other guitarists in the instrumental guitar genre seem to lack. While I do really dig Vai and some other G3-type artists who may play a little flashier than Satriani, I think he has a certain discipline to his playing that speaks volumes about his musical maturity and skill, and I almost always end up skipping through the other artists on the G3 DVDs to watch his performance. It's often harder to know when NOT to play than it is to just shred incessently; a key reason that many of the metal guitarists around, as well as guys like Yngwie Malmstein and John Petrucci, don't do much for me (although they are technically brilliant). A great solo with a crappy song doesn't mean anything, afterall.
Vocals
Another editor recently added vocals to Satriani's instruments, mentioning that he sings on at least ten tracks. I do think this is valid, and the edit should be restored. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:09, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He's not well known for his vocals, though. That field is for notable instruments, and in his case it's just guitar. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
