Guitarists Alex Skolnick , Larry LaLonde , Steve Vai , Charlie Hunter and Kirk Hammett were among his students . Satriani often tours as the guitar playing trio G 3 , usually with Steve Vai . Joe Satriani was inspired to play guitar at age 14 after hearing that Jimi Hendrix had died . Satriani reportedly heard the news during a football training session where he immediately confronted his coach and announced that he was quitting to become a guitarist . In 1974 , he studied music with jazz guitarist Billy Bauer and with reclusive jazz pianist Lennie Tristano . The technically demanding Tristano greatly influenced Satriani ' s playing . Satriani also began teaching guitar , with his most notable student , at this time , being fellow Long Island native Steve Vai . In 1978 Satriani moved to Berkeley , California to pursue a music career . Not long after his arrival he resumed teaching . His most notable California students included Kirk Hammett Metallica , David Bryson Counting Crows , Kevin Cadogan Third Eye Blind , Larry LaLonde Primus , Alex Skolnick Testament , Phil Kettner Laaz Rockit and Charlie Hunter . When his friend and former student Steve Vai gained fame playing with David Lee Roth in 1986 , Vai raved about Satriani in several interviews with guitar magazines . In 1987 , Satriani ' s second album Surfing With the Alien produced popular radio hits , and was the first allinstrumental release to chart so highly in many years . Satriani also toured Australia and New Zealand with Mick Jagger in support of the Rolling Stones singer ' s solo album . In 1989 , Satriani released the album Flying in a Blue Dream . The album sold well , particularly in Texas . It was heavily promoted by KLBJFM in Austin . One Big Rush was featured on the soundtrack to the Cameron Crowe movie Say Anything . The song was also featured by the Dallas Stars ' as their entry song at every period . The Forgotten Part II was featured on a Labatt Blue commercial in Canada in 1993 . Big Bad Moon , one of Satch ' s few singles with personally sung vocals , was a minor hit in late 1989 . In 1992 , Satriani released The Extremist , his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album to date . Radio stations across the country were quick to pick up on Summer Song , while Cryin ', Friends and the title track were regional hits . The album is now considered a rock classic . In late 1993 Satriani joined Deep Purple as a shortterm replacement for departed guitarist Ritchie Blackmore during the band ' s Japanese tour . The concerts were such a success Satriani was asked to join the band permanently , although his longterm contract with Sony prevented this happening . In 1996 , he formed G 3 , a concert tour featuring three instrumental rock guitarists originally Satriani , Vai , and Eric Johnson . The G 3 tour has continued periodically since its inaugural version , where Satriani and Vai are returning members , featured with a floating third member , including Eric Johnson , Yngwie Malmsteen , John Petrucci , Kenny Wayne Shepherd , Robert Fripp , Patrick Rondat , Paul Gilbert and more . In 1998 Satriani recorded and released Crystal Planet , Engines of Creation in 2000 , and in 2001 released a Live album recorded at San Francisco in December 2000 which was also released as a music DVD . 2002 saw the release of Strange Beautiful Music . This was definitely a sign of what was to come , with a more rock and melodic feel to the album . This also resided on the next album , Is There Love In Space ? , released in 2004 . In 2006 Satriani recorded Super Colossal and released another live album and DVD , Satriani Live . The last solo album recorded was released in 2008 called Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock . In 2008 Satriani started a new side project with exVan Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Mikey Anthony , and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith . By the end of 2008 they revealed the band ' s name as Chickenfoot . Their first album , titled Chickenfoot , was released in June 2009 . In October 2010 he released his album Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards L inksWebsiteMyspaceYoutube Live Always With Me , Always With You Lesson playing guitar better Read more on Last . fm .
