In this video, I break down the intro riff from Circles on Surfing With The Alien... a track that had a huge impact on me when I was learning guitar. We’ll look at string skipping, picking control, and muting, and why this riff is so much harder than it sounds. ◎ CoolGeek M1 Music Frame CD Player (10% off with code SPEDSPEDDING): 👉 https://coolgeekaudio.com/?ref=SPEDSPEDDING Gear in this video: • PRS McCarty 594 SE Andertons (UK): https://andertonsmusiccompany.pxf.io/rEEOEQ Thomann (EU): https://clickfi.re/gMNTHQ19 • Mooer F15i Li: Andertons (UK): https://andertonsmusiccompany.pxf.io/9VgMyY Thomann (EU): https://clickfi.re/Z1Tp4LZI Thanks for watching. ◎ MY GEAR: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/spedspedding ◎ SOCIALS: https://linktr.ee/spedspedding 00:00 Circles - Joe Satriani — why this riff matters (Surfing With The Alien) 00:30 Circles intro riff playthrough 01:28 Why you should learn this riff (clean guitar technique) 01:54 Rediscovering Surfing With The Alien on CD 02:14 CoolGeek M1 Music Frame CD player 03:43 Learning Circles in a guitar lesson (early struggles) 04:24 Why this riff is difficult (picking, muting, control) 06:38 Circles riff shapes + string muting technique 12:00 How these techniques transfer (Custard Pie example) 13:07 Palm muting, string skipping & picking accuracy 14:25 Combining techniques for clean guitar playing 15:18 Final chords before the solo (Circles) 15:44 Full tabs + backing track on Patreon #joesatriani #circles #guitarlesson #guitarriff #surfingwiththealien
