Joe Satriani and Steve Vai have been bros since meeting at school in the 1970s. Although it was famously Joe who taught Vai how to play in the first place, the two today share a status as arguably, the most influential players of the last four decades. Heading out together for the first time ever in a joint project the SatchVai Band, it's exciting times for the oldest of friends. We sat down with Joe for a chat about the project, and reflect with the shredder about the rise of the solo guitarist, his thoughts on Vai's masterpiece 'Passion and Warfare', and the creation of some of his key albums including 'Flying in a Blue Dream' and 'The Extremist.' One big rush; Eamon O'Neill.
