An absorbing, enthralling and altogether mind-blowing artistic statement by one of rock's most gifted instrumentalists, it's sure to thrill music fans across the globe. (Be sure to check out MusicRadar's exclusive album preview, with commentary by Satch himself and streaming audio of his newest single Light Years Away, just to get yourself up to speed.)

What to ask? Well, you can grill him about the status of Chickenfoot if you like. Or you can ask about the recording of Black Swans and what plans he has for his imminent tour. Want to know something about his line of Ibanez guitars or Vox products? Ask him! This is your shot, so make it count. (Of course, you can always ask him that most burning question of all: "So Joe, what is Michael Anthony really like?" But we won't put words in your mouth.)

“I have this heart-first attachment to it”: Miley Cyrus on the Pink Floyd classic that served as the unlikely inspiration for her “hypnotising and glamorous” new album

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
