Greatest guitarist of our modern era. Worship him, and play Surfing With The Alien when you have sex.
Idiot: Satriani sucks.
God: you are wrong looks like you're going to hell.

Might be the only musician that played in G3 to ever have any musical soul whatsoever. Great, great guitarist. Yes, ok, he can get wankery. But most of the time it's with a melody, the music has a point, it's not just shredding and getting nowhere (but getting nowhere faster than your head can register). Taught Vai, so Vai might have musical soul (haven't heard him, can't really tell) and of course, he taught Kirk Hammett.
Do I really need an example? Fuck you.

oh please people! Do your fucking research. Once again, SATRANI DID NOT TEACH VAI. he simply played with him a few times, improved him improvisational skills and taught him a few tricks. And for the record, Vai is actually better than Satriani, has alot more imagination and can play a damn sight quicker to. Don't get me wrong, i love Satch. I do.

Possibly one of the greatest guitarist's of our time, Joe Satriani has released over 10 records. He's known for his ingenious riffs and unbeatable solos and taught the wonder, Steve Vai, how to play guitar. Made famous when Vai told someone in an interview that he taught him how to play, and thus pulled him to glory. Also known as Satch, Joe has his own Ibanez series guitars, amps, straps and picks. Satch has redefined rock, definitely someone to see before you die. Currently touring with his band and G3.
Harry: Hey man, you hear that sick solo in Satch Boogie?
Joe: Yeah man, that was totally awesome!!! Joe Satriani rocks!!!

A true guitar virtuoso. He may not sweep pick at 99 nps like some people (ughghg malmsteen ughguhg) but i cant put into words how amazing he is at playing that instrument

Has taught the likes of Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett, Larry Lalonde and many more.

Created the G3 tour, in which he participates in every year.
