Joe Satriani, one of rock music’s most renowned electric guitarists, will undertake a UK tour starting Monday 12th May 2008 at Symphony Hall.
Joe Satriani has been a worldwide guitar hero since his 1986 breakthrough album, Surfing With The Alien. Over 10-million albums and CD’s later, in addition to 13 Grammy nominations including this year for his latest studio release Super Colossal, Joe continues to push the envelope of modern rock guitar playing.
Although he originally started his career by teaching some of the top rock guitar players of the ’80s and ’90s, Joe Satriani is universally hailed as the most technically accomplished and respected guitar player in the history of rock music. Satriani, who cites Jimi Hendrix as a major influence, quickly established his reputation as one of the most important electric rock guitarists of the decade.
Paul Gilbert, is recognised as brilliant guitar player, both as soloist and within the bands he is best known by. Gilbert first became known for his work with Racer X and went on to platinum success with Mr. Big who topped the pop charts in 1992 with the ballad To Be with You.
A recent poll of the Top 100 Greatest Rock Guitarists ranked Satriani at # 7 and Gilbert at #14.
