Surfing With The Alienby Joe Satriani

With the release of this album, Joe Satriani changed and brought a new style of guitar playing. A re-invention to the approach of guitar playing. "Surfing With The Alien"is a must have for guitar players. This is the way guitar shredding should be done. Starting off with the title track one can easily tell that Satriani has put a lot of thought into his songs. His various techniques would influence so many guitar players who would later try to emulate him. The title track has some amazing guitar work. Lots of solos within an instrumental song. "Ice 9", "Crushing Day", "Satch Boogie", and "Circles"continue to demonstrate his riffs and amazing soloing. "Always With You Always With Me" is a well written instrumental ballad. In the song "Midnight" we hear his tapping techniques with a memorable melody

This is a masterpiece which you must own if you like guitar shredding.
