Satriani started his international career after his second album, “Surfing with the Alien” (1987).With 10 million albums sold, 14 Grammy nominations and many more trophies, Satriani continues to be adored by fans worldwide.

In 1988, Satriani was recruited by Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for his first solo tour. He has worked with a range of guitarists during the G3 tour, which he founded in 1995.
