‘Isn't Joe Satriani a guitarist?’ I hear you cry. Well, yes he is, but in common with many other guitarists, Satriani also dabbles with playing bass – in fact, he personally handled all of the bass duties on his self-released debut album, Not Of This Earth, which paved the way for instrumental rockers everywhere.
You might think that a guitarist like Satch, who spends much of his time whizzing about the fretboard, might approach laying down the bass in a similar manner. But, surprisingly, his bass parts are actually quite simple, supportive, and groove-orientated.
