The Joe Satriani EP
Joe Satriani is a self-titled EP by guitarist Joe Satriani, released in 1984 through Rubina Records. Originally self-released in a limited run on vinyl only, the majority of the EP was later reissued on the first disc of Satriani's 1993 studio album, Time Machine, with the exception of "Talk to Me", which was not included due its master tape having been damaged.
It is notable for only using sounds made by an electric guitar, from tapping on the pickups for drums, to detuning the guitar for bass. Recorded while Satriani was a guitar teacher in Berkeley, California, the EP was successful in securing him a recording contract with Relativity Records, through whom he released his first studio album, Not of This Earth, in 1986.

Famous quotes containing the word joe:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
