    Midnight

  • Artist:

    Joe Satriani

  • Album:

    3 CD Slipcase

I love Joe Satriani. It's a shame he wasn't one of the top 100 guitar players 
ste by Rolling Stone Magazine. Then again I don't think that the list was fair 
to begin with.    If you want a more reliable source of tablature then buy the
book.         If You can't afford it then this is just as good.   - Midian
