satriani or santana??

[fReAk]

do you know them?? well if you do whose guitar sounds better... me, i like santana better

[LaUnion1]

Uh. Santan sucks!

[Mister Dean]

Personally, I prefer Satriani over Santana, owing to the cleaner way he plays. Notice that Santana comes out every ten years, which should be a testament to Carlos' genius. Instead, it took three releases for the world to truly acknowledge him. Nevertheless, it is easy to replicate the way he plays (some band in SM Bacoor covered "Smooth," and every ragtag garage band in the country can probably pull it off just as well).

On the other hand, Satriani's fingers are definitely the bomb. Sure, Joe doesn't sell as much as Carlos, but he definitely gets as much, if not more, props from the knowledgeable guitar crowd.

[fhunkeemonkee]

definitely satch
pero i think hindi maganda ang pagka-pares ng dalawa. a more appropriate one would be steve vai and joe satriani. just my opinon...

peace!!!

[richyuppie]

Joe Satriani!!!


Indeed!

o yea 'santan' really suks. santana is way better.

Satriani is even better. but santana is a pioneer in instrumental music. he has many great intrumentls as well like el farol, como va, europa, samba, just to name a few.

[cs_NOGNOG]

Joe Satch naman no comparison! :rolleyes:

Altough Santana's has been there for the longest time, ngayon ko lang sha na kilala because he's suddenly "cool" these days.

I remember watching an episode of E! Philippines and the host asked random people from the crowd who was their favorite Latin artist, all they could answer was J-Lo and Santana! :rolleyes:

Pwede ba, could somebody just please be honest and say, "La kasi ko alam sa Latin artists Pilipinas kasi 'to e, does Vina Morales count??"

[bengaboyz]

Santana Rules...heheh
(europa, samba pati, oye como va,...and the classic "black magic woman") meron din *** ni john lee hooker "the healer" *okay*

[Italian_bella]

Well, I like Santana. But my main man says that Satriani is better in his playing. Santana is always the same style and sound, Latin. He plays Santana well. (he plays guitar, drums, and keyboards). But he says that Satriani is the BEST when it comes to guitar sounds and playing. He has trouble with some of Satriani's stuff.
I kind of like Santana better, more sensual music
;)

Hello Italian_bella :wave: haven't seen you 'round here for while...how'r you? so your guy plays in a band in TO huh? maybe he knows Clay of "Funkasaurus"? or Freddie "Pils"?

i like your taste in music :lol: i find Joe Satriani a bit too heavy or my taste :D

[rokker]

what the hell kind of a question is that? si JOE!!! if santana would play beside satch, maiiwan si santana sa bilis ni satch! astig si satch! i just like santana's guitar.

[xtian]

ano ba namang tanong yan....

siyempre si pepe smith pinaka magaling, hindi uubra mga shredder kay pepe smith! hehe


now heres a good question...

Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert?

[c0g]

hmmm... these are two extremely different guitarists. they're styles are so drastically different that there's no way of comapring them. santana isn't one for technique and chops. santana plays from a different place than joe does. santana's amazing at what he does; and what he does best is creating accessible guitar hooks and great melodies.

HI! I'm doing ok. I kind of got away from this since I've been back from AZ. But i'm BAAAAk!!!
Well, my man really likes Satriani, in fact he's been trying to learn one of his songs today. He says in playing, Satriani has more of a variety than Santana. But I like Santana, as I said more sensual.

I don't know if he knows those people. He's resting now, we got home from Timog at 3 am. I'll ask him when he gets up, cool???
get back to you, I can't help thinking I know you?? Did you ever get that feeling???


Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert??? STEVE VAI!!!!! No contest, even my guy will agree with that. Steve Vai can make even a bad band or a bad guitar sound good. He is that good. AND, he can play a variety of music. Nice latin too!!!;)

[vinosavic]

bakit kayo mag-guitar eh pwede naman kayong makining ng boybandz like wastelife, bagstreetboyz, Nzinc, 98degrades di ba mga repapipz ?? :evil:


Santana's music is more melody based... licks aren't that sophisticated. More commercially digestible ba... like europa pwedeng pwedeng pag seiko films na soundtrack.

Satch on the other hand is incorporating everysound that a guitar can make into his music. Diff techniques, different sound. But he can make some melodic cool stuff like always with me din.

I don't really dig santana's tone.. too round.

[grim646]

what a comparison!?!? :lol:

definitely, it's joe, no questions asked... iba dating ng tuinog ni joe, the melody, the speed, the style...

i think the vai-satriani-johnson-gilbert comparison is much much acceptable... *okay*

YOU CAN'TMAKE USE CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM BU.TT FREAK, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN STYLE, AND GENRA. ONLY A STUPID POSEUR WOULD CHOOSE BETWEEN SANTANA AND SATRIANI. GROW UP PEOPLE. BAKA NAMAN MAKAKITA AKO DITO NG THREAD NA GERRY GARCIA VS. KIRK HAMMETT?:mad: :mad:

kool *okay* ... Timog is just around the corner from where i live. i know the owner of that club (Robert). m not sure if he had sold it though. we've probably bumped into each other b4. we use to hang-out at Manila Gardens b4 :D

[bubuyog]

guitars sound better in the hands of tuck andress. :)

[Italian_bella]

Me and my partner went to Timog to see a pinoy band on saturday night. But you know, they were pretty awful. Not even one song was close to the original song. I think the owners of this restaurant should screen these bands before letting them play. What do you think?

In Bahrain where my partner used to play, the Filipinos are noted for their versatility in playing varied styles of music. I only found a few Pinoy bands that can do that here. I know their singer...it sounds like Noney or so? That young good looking guitarist is my partner's good friend. This guy plays so amazing, especially Santana and Satriani!! Samba Pati, is amazing, and so is Primavera.

I also used to play in a Toronto band, on keyboards, accordion, and i've even played violin, cello, and I know ONE song on bass guitar, Smoke on the Water. but I haven't done that in a long time. So musically, I can tell a good band from a fake, or a try hard band.

Any comments please.

OH my partner says he has heard of Clay of Funkasauraus!
Plays good funk, but no rock.

____________________________________________________

MR DEAN!!

I totally agree with you! Thousands of bands in the Phils can play note for note Santana...Satriani is more of an advanced/modern player...here's some more Frank Gambale, Steve Morse ( the greatest of them all in guitar playing), MIke Bacco, John Petrucci.

What do you think of these guys?????????

I saw Steve Morse live last year. He is amazing, he can play A to Z.

Hey guys, don't just stick with Satriani or G3, there are lots more out there...have you heard of Marty Friedman,...Al DiMeola...Jason Becker,Richie Kotzen...man too many to mention, check them out!!!!:)

[k3rwin]

i like satriani better, only a few songs from santana that i like and he more of a latin music, kinda.

[Tanis_Half-Elf]

Eto....

Yngwie Malmsteem or John Petrucci?

[marloni]

i think malmsteen is greater. coz he was one of petrucci's bigger influences.... yngwie also has more precise technique, ata...

I know what u mean..i've seen my share of so-so bands. There use to be an annual Summer Rockfest here in TO where 4-5 pinoy rock bands get together and perform. it's not too bad. I've been there a couple of times but this was a few years back. i've been away from the scene for so long i can't even recommend a decent place 4 u 2 checkout. some of the places we used to go to have shut down (like the El Mocambo where the Stones once played). Lee's Palace on Bloor is alright. Newayz, i'll fill u in if i hear anything interesting happenin' this summer.

back on topic ....
Anyway, good guitarists have their own unique style and mostly don't venture too far from their music genre. You can identify them after hearing just the first few notes on their rifts. So, i don't really subscribe to who is better or more complex or whatnot...it's whoever appeals to your musical taste. :D

and speaking of guitarists...blues fans....don't you guys miss Stevie Ray Vaughn?

agree!!!
satriani and santana play different genres so its a mis-match...
but both of them are great!!!

[extreme16199]

apples and oranges. no point in comparing.

[rokker]

someone here said vai's playing is too loud for em'. if that's the case, then try listening to eric johnson. almost as fast and as good as vai but a lot more quiet. johnson has the an amazing clean tone shred.

[ramaa]

cmon!!! no doubt about it!!!! its mr. motorcycle driver himself!! joe satch!! theres no point in comparing the two... pwede pa ***** eric johnson.... or tuck andress... hehehe *** lang..... summer song vs. oye como va?...... no contest there!!
