When I want to play music, you've got to get me on tape or else it goes.
Joe Satriani
Some of us are going to play faster than others. Hitting the right notes and getting your technique right is so much more important than speed.

If someone can relate my guitar solo to an exercise in a book... that's no fun at all.

Joe Satriani
I pride myself on being incorrigible. I have a very hard time being told what to do.
Joe Satriani

Joe Satriani
18th September, 1970 Jimi Hendrix dies. I'm still on the football team when I get the news. So I take my helmet off and confront the coach to tell him I'm quitting the team. In a moment of brilliance he gives me one look and says OK.
Joe Satriani
Song ideas have come to me in the middle of interviews, in the shower, or while I'm writing another song.
Joe Satriani
There's a fine line between giving the sense of freedom and being too free.
Joe Satriani
When you hear something you don't like, don't ever play it again.
Joe Satriani
I can embarrass myself very easily on guitar. It's funny because people say to me I can play anything I'm God on the guitar. But I could make a big list of everything I can't play... I'm grateful that people don't notice that.
Joe Satriani
