G3 Live - Red House Blues
I’ve had the excellent G3 Live album (Joe Satriani / Steve Vai / Eric Johnson) on my ipod for a long time now, but just the other day, this track from that album came up on a playlist I had on, and I was really struck with the sheer virtuosity of these 3 players. It made me listen to the track over & over a few times!
I found this video clip of them performing this track live:
It doesn’t seem to be quite the same version as I have on my CD, but I guess that’s the nature of a live performance. Still great to watch though.
They start off with a fairly traditional blues, but really let it rip on the solos.
I find it very inspiring to listen to and watch players like these, it really motivates me with my own guitar playing, trying to pick out some of their licks and solo lines. I particularly liked this track, as it showed what they can do with a regular blues tune.
If you’re feeling similarly inspired after watching this, there are quite a few Joe Satriani & Steve Vai guitar tab books available.
