THREE TIMES THE FUN
Guitar heroes Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci Join Satriani on his latest G3 concert

Each year multiplatinum-selling guitarist Joe "Satch" Satriani picks two other guitar bigwigs to join him on the G3 tour, a living legacy of guitar gods.

Satriani's legacy is long and impressive. He established himself in the San Francisco music scene during the 1980s as a guitar teacher to pupils such as Steve Vai, Charlie Hunter, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Larry LaLonde (Primus) and David Bryson (Counting Crows). He's sold more than 10 million albums and DVDs worldwide since releasing his debut solo album, "Surfing With the Alien" in 1987.

Satriani has toured with Mick Jagger and Deep Purple and has been nominated for 14 Grammy Awards.

Kicks! caught up with Satriani for a phone interview from his hotel room in Cincinnati to chat about the evolution of G3:

Question | How is the G3 tour going so far this time around?

Answer | The tour's going great. We've been out for a little more than a week. This tour, right from the very first jam - it just really took off.

Q. | What can fans expect from the show?

A. | It's got this sort of high fun energy to it that the other G3s maybe didn't have as much of. Sometimes they're more serious, more musical or more theatrical. This one seems to be more fun. There's just an interesting chemistry between Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci and myself - just reacting to our musical roots and the audience this time around, you never know how those things turn out. But it's been really great, so we're feeling good.

Q. | So this is a guitar lover's dream show?

A. | I guess that's a good way to put it.

Q. | Can you explain the evolution of G3?

A. | In a nutshell, I can tell you that I started G3 11 years ago, and it's been 12 years that we've been working on it. It took me and my managers a year to convince everyone that it was a good idea, and they should take the chance to do the first one, mainly because the industry keeps people who do the same thing away from each other. It's like one of the key rules in show business. We had this contrary idea that we should get lead guitar players together on stage and forget about the competition and the comparisons and try to make it a really exciting event artistically between players so they could share. And of course we knew that the audience would love to see it.

Since then, we've done 11 or 12 different G3s. We've had a whole range of players with us.

This season, we're starting off with Paul Gilbert who played with Razor X and Mr. Big, and they're still huge in Japan, they're like superstars there.

Q. | What criteria do you have when choosing the other G3 guitarists?

A. | I try to find players that I think are going to have chemistry between them. Sometimes you find people who are extremely different to see what happens when they get together. Other times you might try to find as many similarities in their style as possible. There really isn't a set sort of way to do it. I've just been following my artistic feeling about the whole thing.

Of course, I need guys who are very professional. They have to be very secure in their own musical world because I'm asking them to stand right next to two other professional players and trade licks. So they have to be fearless performers.

I think what we're looking for is people who are unique and who can bring to the stage something that the other guys can't. Maybe they have one, two or three things that are so unique to their musicianship that are worth highlighting and showing as a unique attribute to the show.

To know the guitar, you must first learn what the different parts of the guitar are. The pictures below will show you what each part of the guitar is called.

Before you begin playing, you must also know how the frets and strings are numbered (See Figure Below). The strings are numbered from the lightest (thinnest) to the heaviest (thickest). So the thinnest string is the first string, and the thickest is the 6th string. A guitar in standard tuning is tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E. This shows the 6th string to the 1st string. In other words. 6th string - Low E, 5th string -A , 4th -D, 3rd -G, 2nd -B, 1st -High E. Look at the diagram to find out how the frets are numbered. Note: The 0 fret is also the open note on each string.
