Joe Satriani is the world’s most commercially successful solo guitar performer with six gold and platinum discs to his credit (including one more gold award for the debut album by his band Chickenfoot), and sales in excess of 10 million copies. His latest studio album, “Shapeshifting” charted in 11 countries – this for a guitarist who has routinely topped guitar magazine polls since the release of his first full-length album, “Not Of This Earth“, in 1986. As a live performer, Satriani has toured the world with each new release (his last concert tour for 2013’s “Unstoppable Momentum” saw the guitarist touch down in 32 countries). In 1993, he joined Deep Purple as a temporary replacement for Ritchie Blackmore during a Japanese tour. In 1996, Satriani founded the multi-guitarist traveling experience called G3, which has seen him share stages with Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Robert Fripp, among others. And starting in 2009, Satriani traversed the globe again as a member of Chickenfoot. The all-star band (which also includes singer Sammy Hagar, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith) has issued two albums, their debut and 2011’s follow-up, “Chickenfoot III“.
