Joseph "Satch" Satriani (born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, New York, U.S.) is an American guitarist and former guitar instructor. His self-released debut album, Not of This Earth in 1986, opened the way to a world of instrumental rock music in what was then a pop-dominated world.Influenced heavily by Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, Satriani often incorporates a warm sound of guitar with a dominant blues and rock tone. Since 1990, he has used his own signature guitar, the Ibanez JS Series, which is widely sold in stores. Satriani also has a signature series amplifier, the Peavey JSX. In 1988, Satriani was recruited by the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for Jagger's first solo tour.[LINK: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/arizonaliving/articles/0307satriani0307.html] Joe Satriani's G3 rounds up another trio of guitar sl
