Let’s start with the first prompt

Prompt: Joe Satriani, playing a guitar solo with an Ibanez electric guitar, synesthesia

Let’s add the words music, spectralism, luminism. Let’s also make it –quality 5

Prompt: Joe Satriani, playing a guitar solo with an Ibanez electric guitar, synesthesia, music, spectralism, luminism, 32k –quality 5

Steve Vai
