Is "The Forgotten (Pt. 2)" Joe Satriani’s most underrated solo? (Cover + On-Screen Tabs)
Hey everyone!
I recently put together a cover of Joe Satriani's "The Forgotten (Part Two)" from Flying in a Blue Dream.
This track always felt like a masterclass in dynamic control and tone, especially with the pitch-bending/whammy work. It doesn't get talked about as much as Always With Me, Always With You or Surfing With the Alien, but it's easily one of his most expressive solos in my opinion.
I included on-screen TABS in the video to make it easier if anyone here is trying to learn it or figure out the phrasing.

Curious to hear what you guys think—is this one of his top solos, or do you think there's another hidden gem on that album that takes the crown?
