07:17 He´s not tapping the A# - it´s the B as you can clearly see where you pause the video ;) and you had to hear that the A# sounds sooo wrong ;D (power of video - use the video)

My Dad showed me this song when I was 10 and I was playing guitar a week later. It hooked me!! What a melodic master.

My favorite solo I have heard Joe do ever, to this day, and I have seen him play live more x than I remember and spent a week seeing him everyday at a G4.

It's amazing that he found the time to play in such a way AND develop Amazon into the global powerhouse it now is.

That extended part of the song really has a “get high with a little help from my friends” vibe😂

That's Jeff Campitelli On the drums we  grew up together in SF/ Berkeley area as close friends.Thank You for the kind words and recognition Joe and Jeff often overlooked for greatness !

Joe was the reason I started playing guitar in high school. I'll never play anything like him, but he'll always be an inspiration to me.

To this day I remember that, when I was 5, I always wanted my Dad to put on Surfing with the Alien on full volume, so I could put my sunglasses on and rock out to it in the living room. I am a fan ever since.

Joe i my favorite solo guitarist of ALL time. The melodies and the hooks are the best I've heard. I can tell it's Satriani playing instantly, and his playing never fails to put me in a good mood. Love, Love, Love that guy.

The best extended version of this song EVER. I was lucky enough to see this version in concert once. Just incredible. Great breakdown as well.

The 1st time I heard this song, when I was around 14, I wanted to learn this song note for note. I also said I want to play guitar for the rest of my life because of this song. I got to meet him in ATL and win one of his signature pedals. He signed it and got to get a pic with him. I owe everything that learning the guitar has given me. All the awesome friends and musicians. Thanks, Satch!!

This song was on repeat when I bought my first CD player in High School. So pumped you did this song!

I think this version got Joe nominated for one of his 16 Grammy nominations, with no wins.  He is the reason why I picked up the guitar 25 years ago, and he continues to inspire me to play!

This is one of my all-time favorite songs, from quite possibly anyone. Thank you so much for this video!

Listening to Satch play is like listening to my fathers old stories. Like listening to a conversation. I can put headphones on, play the Extremist album and get lost for awhile. Awesome!

Love how u make more facial expressions than the guitar player 😂 thanks for videos :) they’re fun to watch

Wow, I've never heard this version before.  Joe's a sick pup.  He's the freakin' professor but he's got such amazing feel and vibe.

I like you don’t dwell on the riffs, but explain theory in a simple way. Thank you!

I enjoy all the stoppages as it shows how the teacher is discovering / thinking throughout. We can all watch the original video elsewhere if we want.

The ending solo section in this version of the song is my favorite piece on guitar, I must have listened to it a thousand times!
