Music reviews of The Electric Joe Satriani: An Anthology
Music Review: Ear Candy from a Guitarist's Guitarist
Rating: 4 Stars
I want to thank the folks who have posted reviews on this album because they were the ones who led me to buy it, renew my interest in Joe Satriani and made the last few days that I have spent listening to it a lot of fun.
That said, I believe that Satriani is not for everyone. I say this because I think that you not only have to play guitar but made some attempt to compose music on the guitar in order to fully appreciate why Satriani is so talented. I think this is the reason why his music remains inaccessible to a lot of people. They just don't get what the big deal is.
I first listened to Satriani when I started playing guitar in my early 20s. I knew that he was good but did not really understand why other than he could play really fast and sometimes catchy music. I did not love the music but I liked him well enough for those reasons. At some point, after I had worn my copy of the Extremist out, I stopped listening to him.
Now, in my late 30s, I have stopped playing guitar as much but, when I listen to the music, I appreciate him for entirely different reasons.
I admire how he comes up with so many different original melodies time and time again. I admire how he tries to surprise the listener with the notes he chooses in those melodies -- thereby staying away from musical cliches. I admire how he tries to generate different kinds of sound out of his guitar in different ways and how he can run through a number of different techniques in a single passage without any effort. I admire his courage for being so quirky and unique not only in the type of music he creates but also his song titles and the brand he has created for himself.
It is so easy to take your guitar and play riffs in the same type of way over and over and never grow. It is so difficult to compose so many original, four/five/six minute instrumental songs on the guitar that keeps the listener not only interested but so irreversibly hooked that he cannot help but come back for more.
And, indeed, I came back for more ("Is There Love In Space?" and "Super Colossal") and ended up liking those albums even better. Hats off to Joe Satriani. Great stuff.
