Hey, WA
For all you Rock and Metal Fans, I wanted to remind you that today is guitarist extraordinaire Joe Satriani's Birthday! Also known by his fellow admirers as "The ShredMaster General!"
Born on July 15, 1956, he took up the guitar after the death of Jimi Hendrix in an attempt to honor him by taking his music "a step further."

For those who do not know, Joe taught guitar and played small venues for many years as an unsung hero of his musical genre.
Joe's pupils included Steve Vai and Eric Johnson. Steve usually plays onstage in all of Joe's "3G" (3 famous guitarists) concerts, and Joe, Steve, and Eric played together on the same stage during the 1996 3G tour.
His ability to build melodies around esoteric scales separates Joe from other famous metal players. This gives his playing a sense of beauty, emotion, and haunting "otherworldliness," at times sounding as if it was composed by someone from another planet.
Is Joe an escapee from Area 51? Not likely, but sometimes you have to wonder. If this music intrigues you, I highly recommend grabbing your headphones and going "Surfing With The Alien!"
Happy Birthday, Joe!
