“The only way for me to play it was to sit in a chair. I had to explain that to the audience. It was quite embarrassing”: The guitar solo Joe Satriani wished he never wrote

Joe Satriani.

He’s penned the classic instrumental guitar album, Surfing with the Alien, masterminded the shredder’s union G3 tours, and is now nailing Van Halen material on tour with Sammy Hagar. Still, not every Joe Satriani guitar solo has been a classic.

There is one cut that, by his own admission, he wishes he had never written.
