Description

Go behind the scenes with the musician The New York Times called "a guitar God!"

Oft-hailed as the Jimi Hendrix of his generation, living guitar legend Joe Satriani has long transcended stylistic boundaries with a sound that raises the bar like a new horizon for the broader genre of instrumental guitar rock. Joe's 6-string secrets have astounded listeners around the world for nearly 30 years.

In Strange Beautiful Music: A Musical Memoir, Satriani and coauthor, music biographer Jake Brown, take fans on their first authorized tour of the story behind his climb to stardom and the creative odyssey involved in writing and recording a storied catalog of classics including "Surfing with the Alien," "Summer Song," "Satch Boogie," "Always With Me, Always With You," "The Extremist," "Flying in a Blue Dream," "Crowd Chant," and more.

Featuring previously unpublished photos and hours of exclusive, firsthand interviews with Satriani, Strange Beautiful Music offers a unique look inside the studio with Joe, giving fans a chance to get up close and personal like never before. With insider details about his collaboration with multi-platinum supergroup Chickenfoot, exclusive interviews with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony of Van Halen and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, commentary from fellow guitar legends such as Steve Vai, Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Primus's Larry LaLonde, and legendary music producers including Glynn Johns and the late Andy Johns, this memoir offers a rare inside look for die-hard Satriani fans, guitar enthusiasts, and anyone who loves to rock.

If you're like me, a long-time fan of Satriani, this book offers some spectacular insight not only on his creative process, but also on some facts of his life. For example did you know that Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai were his pupils? If that it is not enough, Mick Jagger chose to play and sing with him.....

Se siete come me dei fan di lunga data di Satriani questo libro vi offre alcuni spettacolari insight non solo sul suo processo creativo, ma anche sul fatto che sia Kirk Hammett che Steve Vai sono stati suoi allievi, che insomma, voglio dire, ma nell'eventualitá non bastasse, anche Mick Jagger ha suonato con lui....

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND BENBELLA BOOKS FOR THE PREVIEW!
