That album, IMO, is the greatest guitar album ever made.
I have about 10 of his albums, but I will always go back to SWTA
I've seen him live twice. He is amazing & makes it look so easy. His harmonic sophistication ruvals the best jazz players, but he ROCKS.
I recorded an instrumental guitar song as a tribute to him. I titled it "Saturated".
My favorite guitar is an Ibanez Satriani model.
You could say I'm pretty into him.

...the exact model he's playing, but red.
I even have the same pickups he has.
He changed the bridge pickup to a DiMarzio Fred. Listening to DVDs of him before & after the switch, I understood why he changed. So, I did too.
