If your a fan of shread
guitar, or
guitar in general, and you are looking for a challange, but cool stuff to play, here it is. I strongly suggest you hear and read this tab instead of getting tabs off the internet, this tab is 100% accurate and has additional info on how to play a song. Great for reserch on how to play Joe's style.
Great Album and Great Book to help you play along.
The songs are fairly straightforward compared to some of the other Albums. The focus on this album is using Scales/Modes to represent an emotional theme, but don't worry their are plenty of mind boggling licks that will tear your hand up if your not ready.
Breaks no new ground, relying instead on signature power ballads, big-hearted anthems, and crunching rockers. . . . Satriani is an old-fashioned
guitar hero, an antic wailer, and a
romantic at heart. . . .
"Crystal Planet" is not just the title for this album; it defines Satriani's homeland, and as intergalactic emissary, this is a gift from the race of superior alien musicians he personifies. There is literally nothing like it on earth. And if you're thinking that only a
guitar player can enjoy an album like this, which is void of lyrics, sung or spoken, think again.
