“Maybe it was inspired by YouTube, the way you can spend an hour on there and see clips of every amazing guitar player under the sun ... it just occured to me how great it would be to be able to hear a whole bunch of today’s greatest guitarists doing their thing on one album.” - Lee Ritenour on the making of 6 String Theory ...

Ice 9 (Joe Satriani ‘Surfing with the Alien’) ... As strong as 87 is for 80s rock guitar I could have actually filled all 5 slots with Satch’s incredible 2nd studio album. I have this on cassette, picture disc vinyl and CD. Twice! I still buy silver surfer t-shirts purely because I love this record. I even read Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle because of Ice 9! This could be the most influential album of all when it comes to my musical development. Whilst the format of some the tracks sounds a

However listen beyond the lyrics and you’ll hear some great guitar playing. Indeed, he’s been on the cover of Guitar
