A serious shredder but with a blues edge makes Joes playing style and sound stand out from the crowd. Satriani uses humbuckers but with coil tap circuitry so he can get single coil tones (strat sound) this has enabled Joe to play with dynamics usually only associated with single coil pick ups and at a touch of a button he is shredding with the likes of Vai (who he used to teach by the way)

With trademark dive bombs and complex legato runs that will give you a nose bleed, you can rest assured that Satriani will have a place in many guitarists hearts as a true guitar hero!
