I can't decide if I want to model my playing more after Satriani or Hendrix. Obviously the first step in implementing this key decision will be acquiring one of their signature tone straps.

To be fair Satriani does have a fairly distinctive visual style so Satriani straps aren't a ridiculous idea (I kinda dig some of them TBH so maybe I'm the stupid music poo poo.)
The Hendrix straps just look like generic hippie crap, though.

Yeah sorry maybe that wasn’t fair. I’ve been listening to his latest album though and there’s really... just not a lot to it. Like he’s just kind of meandering around and playing at about 15% of his ability the majority of the album. Not just from speed perspective, but a melodic one. A lot of stuff he’s playing is pretty stock sounding.

I realize not every guitar album is supposed to sound like a Paul Gilbert Shred-a-thon but it just seemed really odd to me.

I like the latest album, though it's not some shredtastic thing. "Thunder high on the mountain" and "Cherry blossoms" are great songs IMO. But it's different from his older stuff, which was a little more intense. Al Di Meola seems to have gone through a similar journey, from fast and technical focus back in the 80s and 90s to more thoughtful, melodic stuff on his latest.

You might want to check out "Surfing with the alien" if you want a little more rapidfire playing.

His first four albums all feature Joe at full shred. After that it gets a lot spottier.

Back in grade 9 or something I ended up getting Engines of Creation from the Columbia House mailorder company because I forgot to send the letter saying I didn't want the CD. Turned out to be a pretty good album.

It's definitely my favorite of the late-90s "shredder awkwardly flirts with EDM" albums, of which there were surprisingly many.

In the 80s I had a guitar teacher who had been in one of Brazil’s first death metal bands. However by the time we became friends his tastes had really changed. When he started trying to push Surfing with the Alien on me I knew I should stop learning anything about guitar.

Dude you have to post a video of you playing if you're going to call satriani a "reasonably confident blues dad". I don't like listening to him but what are you thinking lol? Stupid Music poo poo III: I do not like Joe Satriani

Lol, if you cut this into 10 second segments they would all be completely interchangeable.

There was this one review of the last avengers-movie where they called it Movie-Loaf. All the ingredients, just mashed together and baked into something resembling a movie.

This is that thing just for guitar-music.

Did you even listen to it? The only way "Surfing With The Alien" could have a more clearly-defined structure is if it had a narrator calling out where the sections are. This is about as fundamental as instrumental music gets.
