I have been such a big fan of Satch ever since I heard "Summer Song" on the radio when I was in high school. It is great to learn about this side of his career, the stuff you see in the guitar magazines is (rightly so) more focused on his musicianship and composing sides.

Ahhh, "Summer Song", I remember you well! Many a day were spent driving in my Mustang with the windows down blasting this song. I've now been lucky enough to hear Satch play twice. He puts on an awesome show - highly recommended!
Yea, I saw G3 when it was him, Vai, and Petrucci, and it was amazing.
The second time I saw him in Dublin, I remember walking out of the venue with this big goofy grin on my face and my ears ringing like never before. I walked down the street to a convenience store to grab a Coke, but when the cashier spoke to me it was quieter than a whisper. It took about 24 hours for the ringing to finally stop, but I would do that night over again without a second thought.

Watching Satch play live (and up close!) you see the passion in his face and his playing. This is a man that LOVES what he does - and he does it very well! If only we could all be that lucky.
