小簡(jiǎn)介 Joe Satriani（喬·塞奇尼）1956年7月15日出生于紐約長(zhǎng)島，在他過(guò)完14歲生日不久，他心中的英雄吉米·漢德克斯去世了。失掉偶像的喬絕定退出高足球隊(duì)拿起吉它。自學(xué)三年后，在他居住的長(zhǎng)島，他成為當(dāng)?shù)氐募⑿邸Ｋ男Ｓ裇teve Vai背著一把5美元的吉他來(lái)拜訪他，要跟他學(xué)琴。Vai同樣是位出眾的吉他大師，后來(lái)在事業(yè)上的成就比Satriani有過(guò)之而無(wú)不及。他后來(lái)參與錄制了Satriani的幾張白金專輯：Flying In A Blue Dream，The Extremist和Time Machine，他是Satriani最喜愛(ài)的學(xué)生和吉他手。 在日本生活了幾年之后，喬·塞奇尼于1978年定居舊金山，并在著名的加州伯克利大學(xué)城內(nèi)的“二手吉他”學(xué)校內(nèi)教吉他。10年之中喬門下高手輩出，戴維·布萊遜、艾力克斯·斯柯尼克等著名樂(lè)手都曾是他的弟子。在Satriani的學(xué)生名冊(cè)里還包括：爵士吉他手Charlie Hunter(查利· 亨特)，Metallica 的Kirk Hammett(柯克·漢密特)，Primus 的Larry Lalonde等等... 1979年，喬和鼓手杰夫·加密泰力、貝司手安迪·彌爾頓一起組建了一支流行樂(lè)隊(duì)：“廣場(chǎng)”。后來(lái)這種能量巨大的三人結(jié)構(gòu) 樂(lè)隊(duì)形式一直伴隨著喬的個(gè)演藝生涯。1983年圣誕節(jié)，樂(lè)認(rèn)休息的三個(gè)星期中，喬以閃電速度注冊(cè)了自己的唱片發(fā)行公司“奇妙音樂(lè)”和以她妻子的名字命名的獨(dú)立制作公司“魯華娜”。在推出了一張錄有五首純吉他音樂(lè)的EP專輯之后，樂(lè)隊(duì)的另外兩位成員開(kāi)始譏諷他“神經(jīng)錯(cuò)亂”，并預(yù)測(cè)他的錄音生涯將不了了之。喬不為所動(dòng)，反而以更大的熱情，用5000美金的超低成本，于1985年制作完成首張完整的純吉他音樂(lè)專輯《不屬于這個(gè)星球》。直至今天，喬仍用“神經(jīng)錯(cuò)亂”來(lái)贊美其他的優(yōu)秀音樂(lè)家。 盡管《不屬于這個(gè)星球》沒(méi)收到什么反響，但經(jīng)由史蒂夫·范的大力推薦，為喬贏得了一家唱片公司的錄音合同。這時(shí)喬以巫師般的狂熱鉆研吉他演奏技巧，風(fēng)格日漸成熟。1987年的第二張個(gè)人專輯《與魔同行》推出不久即達(dá)白金并獲得葛萊美獎(jiǎng)提名。1988年，喬兩度中斷自己的巡演，這期間留下的三首現(xiàn)場(chǎng)錄音后來(lái)被整理成EP專輯《第11號(hào)夢(mèng)》，使喬再獲葛萊美提名。 Along with teaching some of the top rock guitar players of the 80s and 90s, Joe Satriani is one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge in recent times. Born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, NY, and raised in the nearby town of Carle Place, Satriani — inspired by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix — picked up the guitar at the age of 14 (although he was initially more interested in the drums). Quickly learning the instrument, Satriani began teaching guitar to others and found a kindred spirit in one of his students, Steve Vai. By the late 70s, however, Satriani had relocated to Berkeley, CA. With his sights set on his own musical career, Satch kept teaching others, including such future rock notables as Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus), David Bryson (Counting Crows), and jazz fusion player Charlie Hunter. In the early 80s, Satriani got a gig playing guitar with power popster Greg Kihn, doing some session work and touring with the group (an archival release recorded around this time, King Biscuit Flower Hour, was later issued in 1996), and issuing his own solo self-titled EP in 1984, financing and releasing the project entirely on his own. But when Vai hit the big time as the guitarist of David Lee Roths solo band in 1986, he offered praise for his good friend and former teacher in several major guitar publications, leading to widespread interest in Satrianis playing. The timing couldnt have been more perfect for Satch, as hed just issued his first full-length solo album, Not of This Earth, which automatically made ripples in the rock guitar community. But the best was still to come, in the form of his sophomore release, 1987s Surfing with the Alien. Almost overnight, Satriani was widely regarded as one of rocks top guitarists, as the album earned gold certification and the guitarist would finish at the top of guitar magazine polls for years afterward. He was even handpicked by Mick Jagger to accompany the famous singer on a tour of Australia and Japan around this time. A stopgap EP, Dreaming #11, combed both studio and live tracks and was issued a year later, and in 1989, Satriani issued his third solo full-length, Flying in a Blue Dream. Another sizeable hit, the album also marked Satchs debut as a vocalist on several tracks. His career received another big push the same year when his song One Big Rush was included on the soundtrack to Cameron Crowes hit movie Say Anything. The 90s began with Satriani creating his own line of guitars for the Ibanez company (the JS Joe Satriani model), but it wasnt until 1992 that he would issue his next solo release, The Extremist. The double-disc set Time Machine followed a year later (a combination of new tracks, live material, and the long out-of-print Joe Satriani EP from 1984), and in 1994, Satch filled in on tour for the departed Ritchie Blackmore for heavy metal pioneers Deep Purple. Although he was asked to become a full-time member, Satriani turned down the offer to return to his solo career. Satriani issued two more solo albums during the 90s — 1995s self-titled release and 1998s Crystal Planet — and also started the G3 guitar showcase tour with Vai in 1996, becoming an annual event and issuing a live document of the tours initial run, G3: Live in Concert, a year later. 2000 saw Satriani issue his most musically daring release yet, the electronic-based Engines of Creation, and a year later, Live in San Francisco. Engines was nominated for a Grammy the next year, and after a successful tour he stepped back into the studio. The result, Strange Beautiful Music, was released in 2002. Electric Joe Satriani: An Anthology arrived in 2003, followed by Is There Love in Space? in 2004, Super Colossal in 2005, and Satriani Live! in 2006. In addition to his own albums, Satriani has guested on several other artists albums over the years, including Blue Öyster Cults Imaginos, Alice Coopers Hey Stoopid, Stuart Hamms Radio Free Albemuth, Pat Martinos All Sides Now, and Spinal Taps Break Like the Wind. 更多>>
