CONTEMPORARY GUITAR MASTER JOE SATRIANI HAS HIGH PRAISE FOR KORG DT-7 GUITAR/BASS CHROMATIC TUNER
The highly acclaimed rock instrumentalist adopts the DT-7,
the first guitar/bass chromatic tuner to feature the Buzz Feiten Tuning SystemTM,
for tuning both onstage and in the studio.
NAMM INTERNATIONAL MUSIC MARKET, LOS ANGELES, CA, February 3, 2000 -
Blazing onto the music scene in the '80s, Joe Satriani's guitar artistry is
respected by his peers as well as his fans. A remarkable instrumentalist (and
one of the most successful), his trademark sound combines a warm, bluesy tone
and delicate phrasing with amazing technical prowess.
Satriani is now using Korg's DT-7 Guitar/Bass Chromatic
Tuner as a crucial part of both his studio and live rig. A fan of the Buzz
Feiten Tuning System™ (wherein subtle modifications are made to the nut
and bridge of a guitar or bass, including a special intonation technique,
thereby allowing the instrument to play more accurately "in tune"
over the entire length of the neck), Satriani says, "I thought it would
be really cool to blend guitars which had been intonated with both the traditional,
standard system and Buzzy's system. The treasure for me is the way in which
this system blends with other instruments over a large octave range."
Satriani chose the DT-7 for its unique Buzz Feiten calibration, as well as
other significant features. He explains, "Most tuners will get you in
the ballpark, but the DT-7 is among the elite group of tuners right off the
bat. The way it's designed ergonomically, the way it sits, the way it lights
up - all of those things determine its worth. It's small enough to fit anywhere
(unlike a computer-based system), it's light, doesn't use much energy and
is very easy to use. It's amazing that it can use the Buzz Feiten Tuning System
as well as the chromatic system. It can also be calibrated with other tuners,
which is very important."
Satriani's playing, composing and producing talents have yielded him Grammy® nominations and gold- and platinum-selling releases, including the landmark Surfing With The Alien. His heralded sound and technique can be heard on his eagerly anticipated March, 2000 release, Engines of Creation (Epic Records). The new solo record features the highly evolved instrumental music and unique tone and feel he is known for. Says Satriani, "It's my best guitar playing, ever!"
