    Satriani is one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge in recent times. Amongst his million’s of fans are actors Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham, ad man Prahlad Kakar and model Marc Robinson.

     
     
    Satriani who is known as the God of Guitar taught Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde (Primus) , David Bryson (Counting Crows) and jazz- fusion player Charlie Hunter. Satriani still remains head and shoulders above most guitar gods through sheer good taste.

    Born in 1956 Satriani was inspired by Guitar legend Jimmy Hendrix. He picked up the guitar at the age of 14 although he was initially more interested in the drums. His first full –length solo albumNot of this Earth made ripples in the rock guitar community.

    Some of his other hits include Surfing With the Alien, Flying in a Blue Dream, One Big Rush, The Extremist and the Grammy nominated Engines of Creation which many say is his most daring creation ever.
