A step-by-step breakdown of the guitar styles and techniques of Joe Satriani, indisputably one of the best rock guitarists in the world. In the words of guitar heavyweight champion Steve Vai, He is my favourite rock and fusion type player. He hasclass and real musicality. He can take a pop bottle and make it sound great. What is presented in this book is an extensive examination of Satrianis fretboard feats, from his single-note riffs and crunching power chords to his tapping tricks andsplit legato licks - even his trademark squeaks and extraterrestial sounds. All have been transcribed and fully annotated. Each of the musical examples in the book can be heard on the accompanying CD which features all the original guitar partsperformed at regular speed with a full rhythm section and, in the case of guitar solos, an additional track performed at half speed.
