Hello folks,
Well I've been having a hard time with life lately, so much so that I completely lost all interest in guitar playing which wasn't helped by the mighty Gab not being around so much these days  That, compounded with everything else even made me lose my love of music, even that moment at 2:25-2:32 in Always With Me Always With You by Satriani that has ALWAYS caught my breath, even after hundreds of listens just did nothing for me any more. I was listening to more Talk Radio than anything else.Anyway, after a talk with Gab and Todd last night, both of whom listened to my story, didn't try to force me back just said that they hoped I would get my old self back some time and that they were both there to support me through everything, today something happened, some spark was ignited by this piece of music below, if you can listen to the WHOLE thing. The execution, the control, the discipline, the slurs, incredible!!!!! This rekindled my love of music somewhat.. Thanks guys  https://youtu.be/QrdI1pYXXmc Then I rediscovered this old tune which fired up my love of guitar. https://youtu.be/pxpO5vSq2Pg This made me decide to do something that might destroy me  I've bought Always With Me Always With You for Guitar Pro and set myself the enormous task of learning it. Unfortunately I'm not like Monika who has the patience to spend weeks on a phrase to get perfection, she is an exceptional human being and I really admire her but, I won't mind if I fumble through it as long as it's recognisable, (I've heard some of Satriani's studio out takes of the track and they have much fumbling). I have the TAB book from when I bought my first guitar but I prefer to use GP and it was only €2 . There are a couple of minor errors in the GP file from what I can hear but at least I spotted them, there may be more but I'll have to see how it goes and if I spot them.https://youtu.be/VI57QHL6ge0 Let's hope this isn't a flash in the pan.

Thanks for the welcome back folks,
I'm using this to help with fingerings and to get the more modern vibe of the track too. Tricky trying to get anywhere near the tone though  https://youtu.be/Dkudq4Tp1mw -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Well, Always With Me Always With You is an amazing piece to learn. I'm only a few bars in and those opening muted chords will have to wait for another day
 but I thoroughly recommend anyone to spend some time each day working through it. It's played along the whole neck, lots of technique, four note chromatic pull offs being one I'm struggling to get to sound as fluid ss Satch.I doubt I'll ever be able to play it at full speed, even though it's a ballad, there are some nifty licks in there and I think most of you could get something from it by working through it, even just the first 30 bars after the muted chord intro will show you many things you could incorporate into your playing, and the phrasing is just sublime. You don't even have to try to get to full speed, just use it as an inspirational tool to be enlightened with. I'm blown away with it and appreciate the man more now, than ever. Speak soon

Hello folks,
It would be great to get some help with this section, here's the link to where it starts https://youtu.be/VI57QHL6ge0?t=70 if that doesn't work, it's 1:10-1:14 on the official video at the bottom. I think I've bitten off more than I can chew  it's looking like it's legato, or small legato phrases each picked initially but I can't work the fingering out and I can't find a video of him playing it that shows his fingers. https://youtu.be/VI57QHL6ge0 Thanks in advance of any suggestions.

Thank you!Thanks Ben, I'll see what I can do with it. I'm glad my post gave you a bit of inspiration and it's great to see you looking genuinly happy It's a beautifully executed run and the kind that shows Satch's melodic side. Also I think it's tricky, (for me anyway) because it just doesn't sound right played slowly, I struggle at 10% and it's hard to recognise the phrasing of that's the correct terminology. You said that you don't think the TAB is right, it is a "My Songbook" file from Guitar Pro, I have the Total Accuracy tab book but haven't cross checked yet but that also has errors unless it's my ears. Thank you for taking the time to do that Ben, much appreciated, I'll try to follow your fingers on the screen.

It's great to see everyone coming together for sake of learning and in support for our brother Phil. Super thanks to everyone especially Ben! Great vids and analysis. Phil its wonderful to see you going for it!!!
I wanted to share just a bit on this lick, and the section phil mentioned. It's a class Joe run using his trademark slurring in 3s concept which I've stolen directly from him It was many years ago when i first heard this and had to have it for myself. He uses this technique quite a bit, as do i honestly. Once your fingers understand this approach, you can use this technique for giving just about any solo that "Joe" vibe. As long as you are playing this type of thing mostly correctly, it gives off that slurred joe thing. Hope this helps If it is not playing, here is the direct link. Acting odd in this browser. https://youtube.com/shorts/lIVxU4oF87Q Also, here is a video of the entire solo with a clear view of fingers Hopes this helps as well.Here joe is doing it live and you can see his fingers, but notice he plays entire chunks of the solo quite differently. He is still keeping most of the same beats/time, so that one section he still starts and ends on the same place and is still in key, just plays around with it a bit more. Solos are never written in stone, especially for a player like Joe. QUOTE (Storm Linnebjerg @ Aug 1 2022, 05:09 PM) You have always been an inspiration to me
