I Wanna Play My Guitar (feat. Glenn Hughes)
The newly-formed SATCHVAI Band, the electrifying collaboration between legendary guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, returns with their second studio single “I Wanna Play My Guitar”, out May 8th, 2025. Featuring powerhouse vocals from Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion), the track arrives just one month ahead of the band’s European summer tour, their first full run as a unified group.
Following the cinematic instrumental release of their debut collaboration “The Sea of Emotion, Pt. 1” in March 2024, “I Wanna Play My Guitar” adds another dynamic layer to the SATCHVAI catalog, blending hard rock, blues, and arena-sized energy. Anchored by Hughes’ unmistakable voice and backed by an all-star rhythm section, the song is a rousing celebration of six- string obsession and pure rock n’ roll spirit.
Directed by ZZ Satriani, son of Joe Satriani, the video for “I Wanna Play My Guitar” captures the electric chemistry between the newly formed Satch/Vai band and iconic guest vocalist Glenn Hughes.
“I Wanna Play My Guitar” sets the tone for SATCHVAI’s monumental European tour, launching June 13, 2025, in the United Kingdom and spanning iconic cities and festivals throughout the beginning of August. Satriani and Vai—who first toured together in Spring 2024 outside the G3 format—are now officially a band, bringing their decades-long musical brotherhood to the international stage.
