Guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, has decided to join WorkshopLive.com, the affiliate company of, National Guitar Workshop, in its mission to deliver a new kind of music education using cutting-edge online technology and award-winning curriculum. WorkshopLive.com, has announced that Satriani's first video lessons have been completed in their San Francisco studio and the team will continue to work in close association with Satriani, preparing his personal lessons for online delivery. This exciting format includes an animated fretboard, printable chord charts, accurate and artist-approved animated tabs, a looping tool, left-handed views and much more.

"This is a great new way for artists to reach out to their fans", says Satriani, "I'll be using this as a way to respond to the many questions I'm asked by my audiences. I'll be giving lessons, but also sharing with fans how I write my songs, what's important to me – content they won't have access to anywhere else."

Over the course of his illustrious career, SATRIANI has achieved huge success, selling more than 10 million albums & DVDs worldwide with 13 solo albums (2 platinum, 4 gold) and 3 platinum DVD's, as well as garnering 14 Grammy nominations. Over the last two decades, SATRIANI has traveled the world, playing to sold out stadiums. In 1996, he formed G3, a concert tour featuring three instrumental rock guitarists. The G3 tours have performed in the North America, Europe, South and Central America, Australia and Asia and have released three platinum concert DVDs. His 2005 worldwide tour rocked its way through 25 countries, playing 105 shows to over 500,000 people and logging in over 150,000 miles along the way. SATRIANI wrapped up this global trek in May 2005 by playing to over 20,000 people at three sold-out shows in India.
