From Crystal Planet (1998). Crystal Planet is the seventh studio album by the American guitarist Joe Satriani, released on March 3, 1998, by Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Joe Satriani's other songs from Crystal Planet, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
