Joe Satriani is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed guitarists of his generation.

Popular guitarist-musician Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream, Surfing with the Alien, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Satriani, a cultural icon

Born Joseph Satriani in Westbury on July 15, 1956, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Satriani's not just a great guitarist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Joe hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Joe Satriani as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Joe, you're the best!
