The next time you watch Satch play, pay attention to his fretting hand. Joe Satriani has this peculiarity of assigning his index finger as a 'muter/ dampener', choosing to lay it across the neck to filter unnecessary noises instead of using it as a primary preference for fretting individual notes.

"losing" that index finger sure doesn't slow him down...
cool coz i was doing the same thing like him just with way far less skillful like him hahaha...it does work well but some times it confuse some bassist that was following the chord or notes i'm playing
he had effectively incorporated this fretting style, so it's second nature. same goes for Marty Friedman's weird picking hand posture :-)
I believe that he must be a thrill of all guitarists in the world!!!
watching Satch play is a learning experience, really.
