Flying in a Blue Dream (song)

"Flying in a Blue Dream" is a song by American guitarist Joe Satriani, from his 1989 studio album of the same title.

Apparently, Satriani's amplifier was picking up a frequency from a radio or TV station, and Cuniberti simply said, "I'm recording this," and proceeded.

[citation needed] Musically, the track strongly features the C Lydian mode, giving it a spacey-dreamy feeling.

Also featured strongly in the track is Joe Satriani's fluid and complex usage of the legato technique to quickly play scalar runs.

Satriani knows where the harmonics are generated on each separate stage on tour by "mapping them out" during soundchecks and marking the physical points on-stage with tape.
