Dear Joe..... I have found, recently, that I have had difficulty relaxing as I am flying to and from Arizona to be with my boyfriend. I feel anxious and I just wanted you to know that I got my DiscMan and put in FIABD and all was well!!! Thanks for making some of the most beautiful music I have ever listened to! I'll now make sure that I have your music in my ears on every take-off! Thanks again!----Sheila
7 strings on the new album, eh? Great, now I'm more likely to buy a 7 string than before. Can't wait to hear the new CD. The JS2000CG looks like a very fun guitar, I'm honestly thinking about selling my beloved Jackson to buy the Gold JS. I love vibrato bridges, especially Floyd Roses. I just perfer Fixed bridges for some reason, don't know why though. I always like that creative, screwy kinda stuff.
champagne JS looks (and probably sounds) beautiful.... hey ya yo, Joe got you back.. heh heh i bet you weren't expecting that. that would be cool for joe to play the champagne js with the song champagne?. especially since he tunes it down to do all that sliding... but he would have to switch guitars to play the solo... so i guess nevermind. that's probably why he never plays it. DAVEMATTHEWS BAND? cool!!!!! you should go say hi joe. that sounds fun...
I recently got a handle on seven strings and I must say they are very hard to solo in them, and to do a bend....wow....it took a while to get it in shape...good luck.....wish you the best....so are you planning on designing a seven string guitar?......what do you think of the universe model?
say hi to the gov´t mule guys....bye G guys.....cya
Hey Joe, you aren't the only one doing some recording this past week. I gotta new tune up on my IUMA page. "Last Wish, 2nd rough cut" is up and available. Feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome. If anyone has any suggestions on what i can do to make it better, don't hesitate to let me know. Hope everyone is doing great today! **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
Hi Joe! Thanks for the studio update. How do you guys work in the studio? Do you pick a song and work on it nonstop until it's perfect? Or do you do it piece by piece, like record the backing parts for every song, and then the solos for every song, and then the overdubs for every song, etc...? If you do things the first way, how many songs have you finished? Thanks again for the update. ===== Landy Jim - You should be able to get LISF from any record store. Try cdnow.com or amazon.com if you can't find it. ...Austin...
Hey Joe it's good to see you using a 7 string Ibanez for this record, have you got the feel for this guitar yet? You should come and tour Queensland, Australia some time (love to see you play live). I cant wait fo your newest record to come out. By the way does anybody know of a cheaper Ibanez guitar that has a decent locking tremelo on it with some decent pickups? seyahs later.
Hey Joe! Hope things workout better tommorow! Yep, things don't always workout for you in the studio, it always seems that when something has to go wrong it has to be in the studio! It's a given! But you learn pretty quick what the problems are and then you correct them as fast as you can and then continue on with what you're doing! Peace Joe! And take care!! You'll get it right!!! oh yeah! one more thing!!! http://plumloco.iuma.com

Im never tired of hear LISF...Someone said this before but as i was listening to it i realiza that "Rubina" was a better song there than AWMAWY...
Ya Yo Gakk funny you should mention Starbucks.... earlier I stopped by Starbucks and had a WONDERFUL coffee!! I even thought to myself... "now this is home".lol. Michelle, Juliet goes right for it. She doesn't do anything from a distance:) She went skipping by Dave Matthews in the studio the other day and says with a big smile not knowing who he is..."Hi Im Juliet".... and kept right on going to see Eric. She isn't exactly shy but is very outgoing. She was convinced Santa was picking her up on Christmas Eve for a ride around the world in his sleigh even though I tried to tell her he would not be able to.lol
Hey everyone, My website is up again With A REALLY COOL FORUM! COme check it out please. The address is www.guitarnerd.com it has some real cool stuff on it! Including video lessons, guitar videos, and audio. PLEASE COME LOOK!
Joe, when/where did you come up with the idea of a fixed Edge bridge for the JS2000CG? Looks interesting. I'm getting more into the fixed bridge style of guitars. ......... I can't wait for the new album Joe.

haha dave mathews.... idn't he the dude who butchered all along the watchtower? redo big bad moon and have this dude sing it bwahahaha... hey joe - sounds cool man....what studio are you guys working at? i don't think dave mathews is in your house is he? starbucks for G3
My husband said it would be cool to have Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule) for the next G3. He digs that band. I haven't heard them enough since my husband usually has the c.d. in his van. Are they still together or is Warren doing his own thing? ~ Recut that new tune from scratch! Damn the torpedos! (as jr says)lol! Lets see what happens the second time around :) ~ TWIG, I used to tell my kids the same thing about Santa Clause. They wrote letters and stuff, but they weren't playing the whole lap sitting/picture taking thang ~ at least until they were old enough to do some physical damage if ol' Santa made the wrong move. lol! My kids were happy with just a smile and a wave from a distance. Even sports mascots were enough to freak my kids out when they were little. They're cool with it now, but it took a while :)
hey joe, good to see ya posted today. have fun recording man. i cant wait to hear this record.may the power of jimi be with you.keep rockin,never stoppin!!!
hunter
Dear Joe, last week i saw your DVD, it is a wonderful concert, thank you very much. The DVD is now in the stores here in Portugal (Import series). Good luck in the studio with cool people. Take care regards Alex Portugal
hey joe do you ever hang out with vai, you know like just chill out round his house or around yours?????. have you ever throught about doing an album with him it would be quite cool. ta dave.....
I am thinking about buying a JS1000 (ibanez) pearl black. I was wondering the differences between the actual one Joe uses and the mass produced JS1000. If anyone could give me the specs on each, that would be awesome. Thanks.
Hi Eric, Hi Joe, Hi Everybody. Juliet just asked me if the Easter Bunny is really someone inside the Easter Bunny wearing his clothes.LOL! I asked her.... "you mean, like at the mall where you get your picture taken with him?". "Yeah Mommie" she said. "oh, Those are Easter Bunny helpers..... the Easter Bunny can't always break away to have his picture taken with every child.....So he sends his helpers and sometimes they dress in his clothes so the little kids don't get confused."..... I said. "oh, ok. Ill write him a letter then mommie, will you help me?". I had to give her little bones a big hug! I hope yall all have something funny happen to you today too. :) Have a good one!Twig
Hey Joe, it would definitely be cool to get Dave Matthews on your record, get some lively acoustic tunes going! LydianR try cranking the Master to 10 and Volume to taste, get the tubes cookin', you should also try a Marshall Guv'nor Plus, it has bass and mid boost knobs that should give you a fatter tone.
Awesum, Dave matthews Band and Joe Satriani, what an unbelievable combo. Two of my favourite bands in the whole wide world! Give my regards to Dave and the band if u see them again Joe and congratulate them on a superb album, "Everyday", also big up to them making it to the UK (only just:-)) Anyhoo.. one more exam tomorrow so catch y'all Have fun with the new tracks Joe i'll look forward to some 'new blue' S'later... Phatman
I know its gonna be a good day when I see blue before I leave the house. Keep rockin' Joe!

Iteresting stuff ! Im gonna start my first post by saying that i loved the webbcast, and i am a big fan ! Hey Joe, i think you should consider one thing while making this new record... I listened to the "Not of this earth" and "dreaming #11" record the other day for the first time... When listening to that old version of "the crush of love" (the one with the quack sound hehehe) i realized your sound has become a little less extreme over time... Back then your sound was really screaming.. you could really hear the harmonics sneaking in on almost every tone... It was soo satch in a way... Also i gotta say, that Sitar solo on "clouds race across the sky" was amazing... Im really looking foreward to the new record !!
john, i can't remember the title either!...we had a schizo day in the studio,
morning was great , finished a song with a few 7 strings in it, but, the
afternoon had us bogged down on a new song with tuning issues. i think
i'm just going to recut this one track from scratch, sometimes that's what it
takes...warren haynes and dave matthews band are in the studio complex
with us, it's a full house!...more on this later...joe...
Pulled out my old Ibanez the other day. I'm not sure exactly what kind it is ubt it is an older Jap RG with a standard bridge. No tone knob. I have no clue what model. Well this thing just blew my mind. It had been a year since I had played him seriously and the tone BLEW MY HEAD OFF. The front pickup sounds just as I would want any blues numbucker to sound. My God... when I'm on the front pickup, it's almost a sin not to play blues with it. The rear pickup just SCREAMS in your face. Such a hot pup. When both pickups are on, they are out of phase so if you know what that kind of tone sounds like, I got it. It has been rewired by my dad though. It is just amazing. I miss playing maple fretboards. This one's got it. It plays soo nice. It's also a nice change to play on 10s rather than 9s. I can't stand 9s anymore. I like a string that fights back. also has a noticably bigger tone. I have to put 9s on my JEMs. This guitar compares to a JEM IMO. Just no whammy as it is standard bridge. ........................... So What else? ...... OH, Joe when/where did you come up with the idea of a fixed Edge bridge for the JS2000CG? Looks interesting.
CYBER ALIEN...i have that CD from the Guitarist Mag & it just says...JOE SATRIANI SPECIAL BACKING TRACK. Hope this helps !! It is truly a wonderful piece of music (of course :-)) It really really flows , ah magic ! Luv anibur****Song of the Day, RED HOUSE, Satch,Vai & Johnson -----
Landy Jim - I got mine from HMV. Prog X - I've just been listening to "As I watch the clouds race by", and it's cool! If you really did survive the wound you describe in your last post, it must have been for some higher purpose. Keep playing your music, man!! Peace. :-)
GET A LOAF:Go to www.ibanezrules.com to get pics of the new js champagne colour model...HANSMAN:do you find that the DSL401 has really awefull treble? Also,when I turn the reverb up on the clean channel it doesn't work?(I took it bak and got a second DSL401,but the same thing happens!?O_o)------------------------------JOE, pleas give us a little teeny-weeny clue as to what the album may be called,or better still,what you hope it to sound like..as you may have gathered we're all itching to find out more!(I know I am^_^)
Hey Joe... What is the name (is there one???) of the song you did for the Guitarist magazine a couple years ago? The one where you improvised over a keyboard track. I've heard some people call it "Heart Of The Sun" (like Floyd's "Set The Controls..."???), but I've just been calling it "UNnamed" since I don't know if it even has a name. Thanx... John aka =o|-[
Lydian R....... I have the same amp. The DSL 401 is loaded with 4 -12AX7 pre amp tubes. I switched mine over to Electro Harminix tubes from Russia. It definately made a difference. Also I have a Digitech S100 effect rack processor. There are 100 pre-sets that definately give you that something extra. I picked up a DS1 Japan on ebay for $35. Not sure if this lends itself to any difference to the Taiwanese pedal. According to Joe his settings on the DS1 are: 9-5-2. These can really get noisy with a battery get a/c power cords for all effects. ........Joe how's it goin in the studio?
Hey Joe! I got A boss CE-2 Chrous pedal! and I can't seem to get the sound that I want out of it! I know that eric used when he was on tour with you and I read that you use to use one! could you or eric give me a suggestion on a setting! please!
Hi Joe!
You were the one to give me the love for guitar. I've been playing guitar for about 9 years and think I have what it takes to be a great musician. Problem is that I don't know how to break in the music buiseness... Not that I'm looking for fame or whatsoever, I just need some money to live and I refuse to get a job in other domains that have nothing to do with the music. I've already done it but it's so frustrating to know that you're talented and that you're not recognized. I need help!!!
Hire me as a roadie! As a sideman! As anything you want but please help!!!!
Thanx and good luck!
God bless you,
David

hey joe, richie here, i m an ibanez owner myself, i live in victoria in australia and was wondering if u r ever going to come to australia to tour, i really want to see u play 'circles' live (my fav. song)
cheers
richie!
...hey guys..what do u think of joe coming up with 'backing trax' cd stuff? or it can be just joe's loops so that those who don't play satch songs in a band can at least play over the cd trax and get some mileage there?? ...also if joe could add 'mini lessons' for each loop/trax...that would be purty kuul...i personally would like backin' trax for each album...but it may not be $ feasible...so...any selection would be kuuul....
As far as the 'preamp' discussion below...u can always experiment and discover some new stuff...Blackmore used to run Aiwa tape deck for 'cream juice' effect...also Duke Robbillard plugged into the actual P.A. head...instead of geetar head ..to get that 'tweet' cold bluuz tone..so u can always use gear unconventionally to get different sounds...anyways..posted new stuff at www.tonos.com/schmuck
hey guys or Hey Joe i was listing to Friends off of the Extremist CD and well...i'm hearing a banjo track in there!is it the keyboard?anyone else heard that mysterious banjo track?..i don't think it says anything about joe playin' a banjo in "Friends" in the song credits..oddities abound! O_o
NITSUA - Damn you! Hah, I realized that right after I posted and I was hoping no one would notice. Thanks, you bastard :-) J/K, hah. Anyway, there are a few Rain Forests and Donnies around, and you can always get a custom Donnie JS1000 like Ken Campbell...It will cost you though.
Michelle and Ya Yo...totally agree, Mike Tyson is a complete jerk off and the unanimous winner of January's "Ass Hole Of The Month" Award! :) What blows MY mind is that this guy was actually adored and looked on as a role model by little kids in the 80s. What a great humanitarian guy! I second putting him on the front lines...in fact, I think he should be guarding the Al-Quida prisoners in Cuba! :) (JK) Tell Mike that I had my stomach and intestines blown out with a 16-guage shotgun and lived to tell about it. When he gets around to doing that successfully, he should let me know and then I'll think he's worth something...
Joe - Are you around? Have you finished recording material with the guys and moved on to the mixing stage of things? What else have you been up to lately? Thanks for the inspirational music!
yeah nitsua, that's exactly right. thanks for the reply about the amp head by the way... if i get a head (preferrably JCM800), will it interfere with my RP2000 in any way? i have heard that it like gets all weird sounding if it's not through solid state.... HOW DO YOU GET THE JS2000 pics??? i want them!!!!!
mak - lydianR meant "Why doesn't Joe release them publicly?" as in, why can't you buy a guitar from Ibanez that's painted with the Rainforest or Electric Rainbow design. The answer is probably that it isn't up to Joe, it's up to Ibanez. While many people would buy one of Joe's JS Series guitars (even people outside his fanbase), the only people that would buy something with a crazy rainforest design (in Ibanez's opinion, probably) would be Joe's diehard fans. So by releasing the guitar in normal colors, there is a chance that more people will buy it. It's also less expensive to have the guitar painted one solid color. ...Austin...
LYDIANR: Rain Forest and one of the Donnies were stolen last year. As for the others, I'm sure he uses them in the studio, but they're a bit to special to take the abuse of the road.
I've got a question,why doesn't Joe release his gorgeous 'Rain forest' guitar, or his 'Electric rainbow',or even his donnie's! I'd definately consider getting one of the aformentioned guitars with my next student loan if THOSE where ever available!...Yeah,the JS1000 is nice,but they're a bit plain(I used to own a burnt blue JS1000 which was sweet-looking,kinda cyber-punkish.I now own an Ibanez prestige with added peizo pick-ups in the bridge,vintage violin colour)....People want a bit of colour and exitement occasionally with their guitars^_^------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------Also, I've just bought a Marshall DSL401 combo,and a taiwanese Ds-1 pedal(I've even got a cry-baby wah-wah to create that tone),but I can't for the life of me get a smooth lead sound whatever I do.It just comes out either tinny and weak-blusey on clean channel,or very noisy and muddy on the over-drive channels...Is there anything I can GET to make the tone half tolorable,some kind of additional pre-amp or somethin'?
http://artists2.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Plum_Loco/ Here's my sight! IUMA never sent me confirmation on whether it was ready and all but there's a lengthy BIO on yours truely! I hope some of you enjoy! those that have heard my feature song! I thank you for the support and feedback that I've been receiving! Have a good one! Peace.........Barrie!
MATT - You sound pumped. Hope all goes well. Can't wait for COE's album. I'll get the videos to ya sometime this week. I'm usually on icq but i'll check in on AIM. ................ MAK - Yeah but he may have acted drastically because there were supposedly several people attacking. Whether Avarice, VBIL, MAilman, Warf, whoever all these suspected chatacters are, they all attacked Fusion. It just turns the site to crap with this kind of behaviour around. I think you'd agree. BTW the videos are available anytime. No rush.
Hey, for all fans: We are about to create IRC Channel on UNDERNET, named #satriani . It's a better place to chat, so join the channel whenever you want. hey joe, where're you goin' with that crystal guitar in your hand ? :)
climber (Don) I agree! Staind rocks but yeah, alot of them are simple! Most of them tuned down a half step, Just like G.n.R. and Van Halen used to do! probably others out there that tune a half step! Infact, I don't mind that too much, you can get a nice thick sound without Drop-D! and it still sounds cool!
Joe...Hope everything is going great in the studio. Absolutely cant wait for the new material. Been too long since I saw you in Atlanta...when do you think the first single will be released?
joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks jjoe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocksjoe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks jjoe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks rocks joe rocks joe rocks joe rocks ta dave......
At Mike Tyson's rape trial,The prosecuter said to him; Mr.Tyson, Did you have consent?To which he replied,"Yeah baby,I had consent".I had consent on my hands,consent on my lips,& definately had consent on my Willy!.I had to wash for days just to get it off!.Hardy,har,har..What an Idiot!!.........Have a great day.:)
Oh yeah Mak! :) That would be cool man! Biggest JS 1 - Yo, I just came accross your post! Sorry, you have new videos? Go on AIM and send them to me man! Gotta see them! I think the COE video from November is near completion! Can't wait to see it let alone here it! I never really hear what we sound like in a live situation haha Later...
Hey- It's me again. Maybe I'm just lame. I'm trying really hard to understand this....Not to beat this topic to death, but back to the JS2000 again. Ok if it's a fixed bridge...why the double lock and the fine tuners? Cool, it keeps it from really going out of tune but is all that necessary? Just wanted some of your thoughts. I should wait until it's available and mess with it to really find out what it's like, I suppose. Yeah, the color is unusual. I wish he would come out with some really funky color designs like Vai often does. Ok, I'll shut up now.
Hey Joe. I really like the EOC album. On your DVD the techno beats are missing which adds soo much I think..especially for Devil's Slide. Without it it's kinda of a "watch me shred song"...although that tag you put at the end rocks..especially that first bend of the second solo...nice!
Ya Yo, Mike Tyson should be put out of his misery. He's a bigass bully who lives to intimidate and dominate. Send his ass to the front lines and see what he's REALLY made of! He's such a punk. I can't believe ppl. still pay to see him fight? What a waste.

GET A LOAF - Technically, you can, but your clock radio will probably have more volume :-) You always need an amp to amplify the preamp sound. It's a lot like a POD...you can get some volume plugging a POD into a 4X12, but you really need a power amp to get the correct volume.
tone is ALL in the fingers guys.... Joe is right, it's one of my favorite philosophies/teachings of his. you can play through a bucn of muddling effects (not that you would WANT to), but your real tone is in the fingers. that is partly why joe's songs are so beautiful. okay, maybe you can't say that so much for the engines of creation album (except on the solo for champagne! *GRIN*). yeah joe! you rock dude. i have a question for everybody... can i get a marshall cabinet without a head and play well with just my RP2000 through it? (it is a preamp). what will happen if i do? do you think i should buy the head that goes with it? THANKS!
MATT - Hell yeah man. One of these days you're going to have a show when I'm home from Boston and I'll definitely check it out. Better yet...maybe in a few months you'll have some shows up here :-) JSCLONE - Yeah, I know, but he should post that stuff on the Avarice IUMA site. Plus, he tried to do it anonymously. I mean, those guys insulted you as well, but you responded properly and didn't make a mess of Clarky's page.
Oh man, we just got booked for another show!? :) How cool is this! Studio recording and shows like crazy! I couldn't ask for me! I hit the studio on thursday to cut some tracks! I can't wait! :) I'm just a little excited! So for posting the stuff here haha I just can't hold it in though! I'm like a 5 year old with a brand new toy! Later...
Date: Tue Jan 22 21:31 climber (Don)<climber@sinclair.net>:
Staind's "For You". I like the tune, but it's amazing that someone can write music so simple, and make money.
Dissonance - Welcome to the site! It's good to have a new Satriani fan among us. Glad to hear that you like the DVD...there are quite a few of us on the site here that were at that show. I'm the tall dorky kid wearing glasses and the black Satriani shirt with white sleeves in the center of the third row. Do you have any other Satriani albums? If you tell us some songs you liked from the DVD I'm sure everyone here can recommend some of his other albums for you. ===== lydianR - The JS2000 was designed without a tremelo because that was actually the most common modification request received by Ibanez...I think so, anyway. ...Austin...
Thanks, SMUSH, you've made my day! Has anyone seen that all- star clip of "What's goin' on?". Fred Durst came on after all these REAL rappers - black guys, of course - and he looked like the biggest try- hard d*ckhead!! EARTH TO FRED DURST!!! YOU'RE NOT A HOMEBOY!! YOU'RE WHITE!! YOU'RE FAT!! YOU'RE OLD!! Us white guys are so lame!
Is it just me, or does the new champagne colour JS ibanez make you feel sick? I mean,its unusual, but its not exactly aesthetically pleasing is it!(is it?)....Anyway, I don't get the point of Ibanez releasing all these JS model guitars without tremelos.Most people who would buy a satriani model guitar would generally want a whammy-bar with it wouldn't they?...The Js700 wasn't a big seller(or at least over here in the u.k,no shops can shift them,though I had one^_^),so whats with all the fixed bridge models?------------------------------Favourite Vai album="Fire garden"(closely followed by "ultra zone")-------------Favourite satch solo="Rubina's blue sky happiness"(so majestic and tastefully understated...Beautiful,I envision drifting across the sea,then just before the solo kicks in I picture the camera shot climbing a a mountain,then flying out over the cliff on the other side...I could SO do the perfect video to that song!!!--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------Favourite satch video="Always with me,always with you"----------------Why don't you do videos any more joe? Will you do one for this album........Please^_^
The Danger - The video clips, mine aswell? You do mean mine right? Yeah I have AIM. I don't go on a whole lot but i'll check in every now and then. Punch in my email. My nickname is RichardJem7VWH .................. MAK - Fusion's an alright guy man. What posts are you talking about? On Clarky's page? You have to realize that the people Clarky played the solos for (and mean nothing bad to Clarky) insulted Fusion pretty bad and he was offended.
Dear Joe,
I am a brand new 17 year old fan. I have been playing guitar since I was 11 so its i guess 6 years this past September. I took lessons for 3 years but regretfully stopped but am planning on starting up in February. I need to tell you how much inspiration you have given me! I respect you a lot and look forward to you coming to Toronto for the tour of your next album(I was not aware of who you were when you were last hear only later discovering that you had played T.O.). I want what every other guitarist on hear wants... and that is to one day do much of the same thing you are doing! I love guitar with my heart and will never stop. unfortunately up here in Canada most guys I know who play instruments are not comitted to what they do and I find it hard to keep a band going so I am just doing things by myself and hopefully I can get a music editing program for my computer so I can start recording some stuff. I just thought I would give you some information on myself as I am sure you dont mind hearing background info on your fans. I also wanted to let you know that I feel like I have to meet you but am aware of the fact that it's very hard to make stuff like that possible but I wanted to let you know how appreciative i am of what you do and who you are. As I just finished watching the webcast I had to write something to you, telling you how nice of a person you seem and how much fun you and all the other members involved must have. I bought you DVD and thats pretty much what got me rolling. Also, I play an Ibanez RG570, and a Fender strat. that i got when I first started. I play these through a new Line 6 Flextone II HD and a Marshall 4x12 cab. Thanks for reading and being uplifted as I hope you are and I feel it is important that you are because I would love to support your music all ways possible.(maily buying albums etc.0 because I feel you have earned my support as well as my respect. Thanks So much.
Here's another Joe Quote: "I find that once I'm really done in the studio...I crave to go out on tour." Answer your question Matt? *grin* **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
A quote from Joe gang, from his Live chat from Musictoyz! Joe Satriani: "tone is in the fingers, effects just do the coloring". Let's all reflect on this!! Have a good evening!
So...does a new album mean another tour? ;) Oh yeah...
Date: Tue Jan 22 13:41 Twaddle<moondoggie13@yahoo.com>:
I think we all realize by now that being able to play fast is just one of the many, many, MANY facets of creating music. Jeff Beck's "Where Were You" brings tears to my eyes, and yet its bpm is as slow as can be. Playing fast doesn't bring you the adventurous scope of Jimmy Page, the breathtaking emotion of Mark Knopfler, or the mind-bending phrasing of Robert Fripp. (Feel free to substitute your favorite guitar players here). If you CAN play "Juice" at warp factor 9, great. You're doing very well in that PARTICULAR field. Use speed as a tool, not as an end in itself. OK, that's enough preaching. Song of the day: "Green Onions" by Booker T & the MGs.
Clarky.. I don't want to 'harp' on what my pal does too much(since he, though not exactly humble, doesn't brag about it) but I thought I should add that he actually does rest his palm on the bridge (though still with his fingers planted) so that, for the most part ONLY his thumb & finger joints move. When I first met him though, he was playing exactly like M.A. (whom I've also met - a nice guy) with his hand towards the front of the body and only the 'plant' touching. I once asked him how he could mute like that, and he said "I essentially mute with the pick itself". At this point he was actually using traditional alternate picking only, & then later developed the 'Gambale' idea & rested his palm in the process... and got even quicker. (One neat thing about his technique is that his legato, sweeps, & picking are all similarly based on a sort of push/pull movement. And practicing one actually develops the others) One thing I might add to this for those would be technicians out there who might want to explore this, is that my friend actually developed his LEGATO & H&Ps first. And that he uses a very 'classical' hand position(with thumb behind the lower part of the neck & sometimes even OFF the neck, wrist arched out, and finger tips touching the strings. Very light touch... think Violin. This is why he likes older Ibanezes - the huge bottom cutaway) He figured out that if your LEFT hand (in Clarky's case: Right) wasn't fully developed & fluid, then what use was speed in the Right? (He doesn't do the Impelliteri thing of picking the same note multiple times) When he plays strict 'legato', he sounds like a quick Satriani. This goes to show, even for would-be pickers out there - DON'T NEGLECT THAT LEFT HAND! While I'm at it, I'll add that my 'least favorite' Satch album, surprisingly, is probably the Extremist. I just don't quite get into that one(not a summer song fan) ..but the production is good.
Hey there-
My friend went to the NAMM show over the weekend. Joe has a new model, the JS2000! In Champagne sparkle finish with a new edge bridge. It was not clear to me if it is actually a tremolo bridge or a faxed bridge with tuners on the end.
Has anyone else seen this? It has the double locking nut so I'm assuming it's tremolo based but there was nowhere (from what I could see in the picture) where you would install the whammy bar. Just curious if anyone else has the skinny on this cool new instrument....
Higain - I think LISF is really a great album (I love disc1) despite this "lack of" thing, but I could really have seen DOWN DOWN DOWN instead of HOUSE FULL OF BULLETS (and the BASS SOLO) on that song menu (and maybe put FLESH... on there too).
TIP OF THE DAY: Check this IA EKLUND out (www.freakkitchen.com) and his first solo album "Freak guitar" soon to be re-released through Steve Vai's Favored Nations.
SONG OF THE DAY: CRAB NEBULAE with Derek Sherinian...
Wise words indeed from Sir Paul! I mean, how many of us would rather listen to someone who talks incredibly fast, rather than someone who actually has something profound and meaningful to say? This is why Satch totally rules! The other thing about Joe is that he is prolific too! How many other artists can write tune after tune like him?
And I agree, a song like 'Rubina' or 'Love thing' will say far more than all the hyperfast guitar athletics of the next up-and-coming-fastest-gun-in-town...
'Nuff said!
i hear david lee roth has been in the studio with the metallica midgits lars & kirk.......how uninteresting......song of the day - dazed & confused by zep
Awright satch fans, hows tricks? Exam wasn't so bad today but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Thanx for the words of support punkdude75 (Miguel Chavez), much appreciated. I'm actually a biology student in Edinburgh, which is not in England :-), I'll hopefully go on to do something really geeky. What a thought! Some science boffin in a white coat with my axe in one hand while the subtle nuances of Crystal Planet ring out around the lab. (Whatever?) Seems to me that Clarky has made himself perfectly clear on the whole thing. What would happen if we stopped talking 'bout it, would the idiot slagging clarky leave, by talking bout it surely were doing what he wants modt of all, giving him some attention? Ahh.. well maybe in a perfect world, who knows? S'later all, Phatman...
2TON:Truthfuly,I think B.O.C. should'nt change a thing.I don't think they are looking for another guitarist.When you think about it they have been around just as long as Aerosmith.As far as I know they still have most of the original players.It's a long story & I don't want to jinx it.I will say that I would certainly try to make a good impression if the situation presents itself. B.O.C.is from Long Island NY too,So are JOE & STEVE for that matter.Thats where I'm from.No doubt Buck has some connections in the Music biz.Maybe he'll help me get my foot in the door.Wish me luck!:)
FUSION5000: Why don't you post some stuff on IUMA so we can write anonymous bullsh*t on YOUR site? That is, if IUMA allows all covers/Becker ripoffs. Clarky has proven himself well, to the chagrin of VBIL, and all you can do is write immature comments on his page. By the way, you aren't so anonymous with an ISP address.
Boy, I can´t leave u guys alone for two weeks. Next thing u know, everyone on this page will be Satch just posting stuff and talking to himself. U know what would really be funny? What if VBIL=JS Clone taking potshots at himself? Now there´s a conspiracy theory for u. MEX-PEAT!! Later.
And although I've pointed this out more than once I'll do it again for the blind and the stupid. I am not 'Avarice'. Yet I still get this abuse....

Dooder, I didn't post about Varese.... Although I'm aware of and have studied the works of some of the 'modern' guys.. It's not really my bag... Turn back the clock and you'll find the periods I enjoy most [High Baroque to Mid Romantic].. I am more into JS Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Tchiakovsky [and their contemporaries]. I like good tunes and orchestration, huge chiors and church organs. Berg and all the screwy post romantic/serialist guys just don't often flick my switches... Sir Paul / Dooder, thanks for the kind words... they are greatly appreciated.. A word on the speed thing.. Although I've never claimed to be the quickest guy around, I am aware that I'm not exactly slow either.. I treat speed like an effect... I turn it on and off depending upon the kind of impact I wish to make at the time.. The same applies to how you go about it [legato or picking].. If you can do both, then they are effects that you can to apply to a specific situation. I find that fast legato can at times sound more 'relaxed' than fast picking. This is because of the percussive component that the pick provides is not there, so the notes have a softer attack. Picking even at slower speeds than legato can often sound more aggresive due to this greater attack. Picking muted strenthens this effect still further by clipping the notes short [which makes the attack caused by the pick even more prominent].. Your bud that plants his fingers on the body has a similar appraoch to Michael Angelo.. With all speed picking the key is to 'anchor' the picking hand. I [as most do] anchor from the 'heel' of my hand [not the tips of the 2nd to 4th fingers]... there is no right or wrong way ecause the end result is the same... It's kind of like the difference between writing on a whiteboard or on a piece of paper.. 'anchorage' allows you to make smaller and more accurate movements with the picking hand [and at higher speeds too]... The 'Anons'... Still not owning up then..... thought not... you can only take someone from behind and in the dark.... but then, I guess that you need all the advantages that you can get... maybe I should paste examples of your litarary work in here for all to see..... oooh but that may make you unpopular as folks see you for the spineless bushwackers that you are....
Jblaze1: Blue Oyster Cult was my 2nd rock concert.I was 15 when I saw them in '79 and they put on a great show.Later that same year I went to the "FLORIDA JAM" 120,000+ packed in the Tangerine Bowl now Citrus bowl,it was insane. Ted Nugent,Aerosmith,Cheap Trick,Frank Marino and Mohogany Rush,Molly Hatch,Blackfoot,Brownsville Station and I can't remember who else.....anyway back to BOC,you actually got an e-mail from Buck Dharma? What's up with that y'all got something going on or what? Is BOC looking for another guitarist?....I've been working on a couple of original tunes "Dirge" and "Dragon Fly" using an e-bow.I would like to see what kind of sounds Joe could get out of an e-bow.

hey clarky...agreed with sir paul here..kuul playin!!..hey...here is some more kuuuuuul kuuul general info on varese duuudle, the brain shredder....skool noteZ..After the invention of the tape recorder during the war, an anonymous donor sent Varèse an Ampex tape recorder.
In 1958, at the age of 75, he completed one of the first and most impressive works for electronic tape, Poèm électronique, to be played through 240 speakers scattered through a pavilion at the Brussels International and Universal Exposition.
His output is rather small, with only a handful of works between 1922 and 1936, and even less after the war.
His extreme, almost anarchical, aesthetics were a kind of symbol for the ultramodernist movement.
His sonic concepts were simply too abstract and too unprecedented to find critical understanding.
A typical review in the 1920s:
It sounded a good deal like a combination of early morning in the Mott haven freight yards, feeding time at the zoo, and a Tenth Avenue trolley rounding a curve, with an intoxicated woodpecker thrown in for good measure.
By the 1960s, however, he came to be recognized world-wide as a visionary.
American composer Milton Babbitt said of him "His mind's ear changed not only the sonic surface but the very anatomy of musical structure".
Varèse's Compositions
Ionization
Ionization was the first piece by a Western composer written solely for percussion.
It remains the classic work for percussion, widely performed by university ensembles across North America.
Scored for thirty-nine instruments played by thirteen percussionists, it uses an exotic array of noisemakers:
· anvils
· sleigh bells
· slapstick
· castanets
· bongos
· lion's roar (a drum through whose head a string is pulled
· güiro
· high and low sirens
· triangle
· maracas, cymbals
· drums
· tamtams
· chimes
· glockenspiel
· piano
The last three instruments are the only ones capable of creating discrete pitches, and are only used in the pieces last 17 measures
The work, which on first hearing sounds rather random, is carefully worked out, with recurring motives and themes.
The listener must give up searching for melodies and harmonies, and instead concentrate on rhythm and timbre.
The world premiere was conducted by Slonimsky in 1933 - percussionists from the New York Philharmonic could not play the work's quintuplets, and he had to recruit composers.
Musical Example: Varèse, Ionization
Clarky, I think you're a good player. I don't see why people would flame you for it. Sure some of the tunes (as you said) are kind of 'jams', but you obviously have the tools to do whatever you want with your playing, and have always been humble (& super informative)to boot. There have been other people here occasionally spouting about how 'fast' they are & stuff. While I view technique as a useful tool always worth pursuing to add 'textures' and articulation to one's playing, it is possible to get too far into the "faster than thou" nonsense and lose sight of the best qualities of being a musician. I actually have a friend that is so incredibly fast and articulate that he makes Gilbert at his best (who used to live up the street from me til I moved across town - yes I'm in Vegas) sound like he's in slow motion. My friend's technique is very unorthodox as well. He plants his picking hand with all three fingers (save the thumb & index of course!) on the body. He doesn't pick with his wrist - but actually with the top joints of his thumb and index finger, which he is able to move at such a speed that it looks like a little machine. He Does Not use strict alternate picking, but actually uses the Gambale approach of always picking in the same direction of the string he's switching to.. which means that he always picks INSIDE any two strings (versus the popular 'outside' tendancy of alternate pickers) this makes for even less motion with the hand. His articulation is virtually perfect (no 'flubbs') and he even has to use certain cleaner sounding pickups, since he can actually end up 'out picking' the capacity of dirtier pickups to be able to register all the notes (this is nuts). On top of all this, he's a pretty good slow blues player and rhythm player as well (he doesn't play fast all the time) My reasons for describing my friend here is two-fold: first because it just goes to show that no matter HOW FAR you may push your technique, There's ALWAYS someone else just around the corner... Second to address the fact that MUSIC, idea's and composition are still what will push you on top. Despite my friends incredible physical abilities, I would still rather listen to a Satch, Vai, or Santana record than his picking. To be able to actually hear notes LONG ENOUGH to enjoy them. To be able to hear a fabulous musician do interesting things with those notes and the space in between those notes. And also to hear the well constructed buildup of a good song. Unlike Satch & Vai, a lot of players I hear don't BUILD UP their playing into a composition - they just meander a bunch of notes around without aim. To me, this is one of the main differences between being a 'noodler' and being a superior musician. As Petrucci said "The song's the thing."
Hey JOE...I was watching a old BATMAN video with my brother today.The video mentions a old comic book issue,BATMAN and THE 8 STEPS.Does your new tune
have any thing to do with BATMAN?
"Though they took your life, they could not take your pride." - U2 So, if I have this thing right, Avarice is to Clarky what David Lee Roth was to Eddie Van Halen. Sheesh! Who would go in for that sort of arrangement? My least favourite Satch album is "Flying in a Blue Dream". Although it is a GOOD album, it is true that there is a little too much singing on it. I wouldn't go as far as to say that Satch has a BAD voice per se, (There are sure some worse voices around in the rock n' roll genre!) rather I would say it has limited scope. It is well suited to the gravelly, bluesy songs like "Big Bad Moon", (Which he does a great job of on the DVD!) but I'm afraid it just doesn't cut it in the ballads department. But, who cares? The sweet guitar tones on "Love Thing" speak with more clarity than clumsy words ever could. I know who CAN sing good ballads, though - VAI! Especially "Brother". Yeah, GET A LOAF, as a matter of fact I just bought it today!
Hi Joe,
just poped in to say hello
just letting you know that I like listening to your stuff!!!! Keep up the good talent your doing!!!!
Good Job!!!
Later....
Rick
well well!!!!!!soon we will be granted by another satch album which I can't wait:)I was wondering Joe,what emotions is driving out the new stuff this time?????I know its gonna be a rock affair but there is surely something that inspired you when you wrote that stuff,should we be awaiting for hapy groove songs,sad ballads or deep music?????you know that any music that you come up with,will eventually be tuned in my cd player!!!!!your music means so much to me(probably everyone else too:D) and I think I haven't told you enough,thank you for such great music!!!.............TO EVERYONE:I would like to excuse myself to all the people that I asked a billion times about 'windows to the soul'...I realized that it was rude from me to keep asking about it like an egoïst...sorry....to PETER MULAS:your song 'Dark Skies' is INCREDIBLY GOOD'!!!!!!!
Hey Randell...we're actually recording the album now :) Berklee for me isn't until Fall! I can't wait though! We have a lot more shows coming too! So busy these days! I'll have a track for who ever is interested in a few days! Later...
2TON: That is an interesting factoid!I'll have to see if I can obtain that.Joe Walsh is cool.I tried to reply to your e-mail from Holly.It got sent back.I got the info.Something is wrong somewhere.I'm also confused about the comcast thing.About my Buck Dharma question.Does the song"Godzilla"or "Don't fear the Reaper"give it away?!I'm so phsyced!!!
It was interesting to read that there are people out there which started to listen to Joe just with E.O.C. !!?? Surfing for me, and I came on to Joe late!
Matt: How's the school thing going? Gary: how's the sax thing happening? Ricky: Did you get my mail yet? Pete: You and I have to get some video going! Joe: E.O.C. is still one of my top 5 of yours to listen to. Getting kinda jazzy in my old age. I hope that the other fellow Sacth family of guitar players look to being the best of themselves, not a competition of all of us. If you get stuck learning, get a hold of Us and look to the future. KTF
CyberJoe - Yup I have a few more vids. Anyone who wants to see JS Clone 2 and I playing FTLOG, I have some solo clips. ICQ# 73569667. .............. Plum Loco - I like that tune a lot man. The melody has sort of a celtic mood to it. The tone still blows my mind.
hey Clarky...howzit goin duude? u haven't been posting much lately...anyways...since u might be into Varese...maybe u can talk bout a duude in a little detail...here is some 'general' info...skoool notes...Edgard Varèse (1883-1965) is considered the century's foremost genius in the area of timbre.
Preferring the concept of organized sound to that of music, Varèse exercised a strong influence on the contemporary avant-garde, particularly in the United States
His music evokes the machine age with its rough edges and explosions of percussion.
He also took an interest in the electronic instruments being developed - he had been calling for electronic means since his arrival in the USA in 1915.
In the late 1930s, after meeting with acousticians, electronics engineers and instrument builders, he was able to make a prediction:
And here are the advantages I anticipate from such a machine: liberation from the arbitrary,k paralysing tempered system; the possibility of obtaining any number of cycles or, if still desired, subdivisions of the octave, consequently the formation of any desired scale; unsuspected range in low and high registers, new harmonic splendours obtainable from the use of sub-harmonic combinations now impossible, the possibility of obtaining any differentiation of timbre, of sound-combinations, new dynamics far beyond the present human-power orchestra, a sense of sound-projection in space by means of the emission of sound in any part or in many parts of the hall as may be required by the score, cross rhythms unrelated to each other, treated simultaneously... all these in a given unit of measure or time which is humanly impossible to attain.
Varèse's Life
Born in Paris, he was trained in mathematics and science, after which he began to study music.
While in Europe in the first decade of the century, he met Debussy, Strauss, Busoni (all of whom took an interest in his music).
He also made friends with Picasso, Cocteau, and the Italian Futurist Russolo.
Receiving a medical discharge from the military in 1915, he arrived in New York.
As mentioned, he formed the International Composers' Guild and the Pan American Association in order to further American music.
Following his composition Density 21.5 (for flute solo) in 1936, he entered a period of depression and unproductivity, writing no music for over a decade.
This was largely due to the fact that his sonic visions found no solution in ensembles of conventional instruments.
He made friends with Leon Theremin, the Russian physicist who invented the early electronic instrument named after him, which Varèse later used in his composition Ecuatorial (1934).
He wrote to Theremin in 1941 "I no longer wish to compose for old instruments played by men, and I am handicapped by a lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I conceive my music".
David Wilson: I wish you the best of luck on your exams dude....are you a medical doctor as I am? later fan-attics of the best guitar player in the Universe....
Hmmmmmm...Least favorite Joe cd, Thats a tough one, I guess it would be Not
of this earth, even though, I love that one two....I go through phases, Flying-
is my fav..I disagree about some earlier post about Time Machine, I think side
one of that cd is Joes most intense, Deep, Moody, Inventive cd..I can live
with out Woodstock Jam & Crazy but the rest is absolutley incredable, When i
listen to Banana Mango 2 it makes me feel all tingly........bye...
I bought Steve Vai's new lice CD. Great stuff. I love The Black Forest. Steve keeps getting better and better with each new album, just like Joe. Can't wait for Dream Theaters new CD too.
Phatman/JS 1- I just did the playing that's all. I was sent some backing trax and asked to cut some shredz and not be too fussy about it, just 'tear it up' and record it .. I knocked them all out in pretty much one take over a few days in my hotel room whilst working abroad [which is why I think they're a bit scrappy in places]. It's only my little practice rig, not my full rack and none of it was multitracked because it all went straight into a 'MiniDiscman' [which is why the mix and eq is a little odd in places]... The Avarice shreds are only a representation of me 'working out and generally messing with a few ideas'.. It is definately not a good representation of me being serious which is why folks should not judge that stuff as the definative 'me'.. It's all just me playing for fun and is all improvised.. The Avarice guitars therefore are definately mine... A kind of a strange 'session job'..... The Avarice comments are not mine... Like I said many times before.. "I never talk about my playing. I don't claim to be anything special other than just being me. My playing makes me happy and that is all that counts to me." Interstingly enough though, some folks have flamed my playing 'anonymously' on both the Avarice site and my own one... They can offer no reasoning as to why it is KAK [as Fussion2000 so nicely and anonymously put it].. just that it is... Spineless all of them... They'd never have what it takes to say this stuff out in the open..... we all know why... Fussion- before you start.. I never said at any time that I was the fastest thing known to man.. I know I am not and I don't lose sleep about it either... Lastly, I have not been obsessed with high speed playing since 1986 [16 years ago when it was fashionable].... No need to get yourself all in rage as you are not the one being attacked [and you never was]..... You got all worked up over nothing.... and flamed me for it.....

geeez! I have a new girlfriend!! The best thing that could happend to me right now....maaan shes sooo beautifull....and loves to hear me play guitar :)
Hi all. I have another comment about Joe's albums, alocalperson said something that reminded me about it. The last Satriani album that I bought in order for me to have all of his albums was Surfing With The Alien (this was in March of 01, before the LISF stuff came out). It's weird because that's the one he's most well-known for. But yeah, like alocalperson said...I already had most of it on the Time Machine and Dreaming #11 discs...so I bought SWTA last. ===== timemachinemaster - I think Joe's settings are 9 o'clock, 5 o'clock, and 2 o'clock for the Boss DS-1 pedal. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. ===== michelle - Great MLK, Jr. quote! ...Austin...
Hi,this question is to JOE:Did you name the album "Time machine" after the H.G.WELLS book of the same name?...That book is absolutely phenomenal,its not only great sci-fi,but it questions the morality of society's CLASS systems.-----------Also,I like ALL of joe's albums.What I was actually saying was whats your LEAST favourite album,and NOT you worst!Every must have a least favourite,or joint least favourites,think about it!
Anyone, still want to hear some soft melodic tones from my New Axe?? add my above email to MSN Messenger Service and I'll send you the track!!! A track entitled "A Bright New Day"!!! Peace All!!

..hey avarice...show up at the bluuz jam at the Yale....a bluuz dive...hole....during the 'supersessions'....if u wish to 'test' ...your 'character' and 'musicianship'...c'mon and jam with da catz....this it the place to show up. Yer butt shall be swooped by the likes of Tim Porter and Brent Wright..not as in 'competitions'..but as in real life playin' and musicianship........btw...lesson for the vbil....'welcome to the Real world'....what u imagine in yer fancy...ACTUALLY EXISTS in the real world.
check yer ego at the door, ....but then again...you won't even show up at the dood cuz u think yer too good to even show up. u know..superior. if u decide to post with such arrogance to put down players...AT LEAST show the music quality to be at the same level. r u the next shawn lane? not. next garsed? not. next brent mason? not. next pat martino? not. next pat metheny? not. once u get humbled in real life, your start playing from the heart, not your frickin big head ego.
Clarky - So you were just the musician part of someone boasting themselves constantly. Avarice you say will reveal himself when he is done toying with us? No doubt he's the same person as VBIL, mailman etc etc etc.... Clarky so you know who he is? Why do you let this cr@p continue? ...................... YA YO - Do you know?
Jblaze1:The name Buck Dharma sounds familiar.Question:on what album did Joe Walsh appear on when he was 17?.....Answer:Joe Walsh played Rhythm Guitar on B.B.King's Indianaola Mississippi seeds.This album has a picture of a watermelon guitar(watermelon half split long ways complete with a neck,pickups,strings and a bridge)on the front cover and on the back you can see someone has left a large spoon in the devoured remains of the guitar(watermelon)with seeds scattered everywhere.My favorite lyrics from this album are"nobody loves me but my mother and she could be jive'n to".
Well thats me finished studying today, got my 1st exam tomorrow so wish me luck (Human and Mammailian Physiology) its a nasty one. How is everyone in satchland, my song for today has been "Blue on Black" form the awsum KWS album Trouble Is... not bad? As for the Clarky/Avarice debate type thingy. If what has been said is true 'bout the alter ego thing well Clarky is the guitarist cos his stuff on IUMA is the Dogs B*llox (Luv the Dre remix's), that would make avarice the guitar virgin who does all the talking (Is paul Clark really that shy?) Its time for Clarky to step out of the shadows, stand up and be counted! Either that or we can all go back to bed for the next few days. How easy is it to change the pickups on ur guitar? I can carry out most maintenance jobs on my RG but I'm not sure how happy I would be to dig around with the innards of my baby. Anyhoo, am off for my din-dins the noo, s'later. Phatman
Yo Michelle how right you are! How is Mary G doing ? Tell Her Craig C said hello. Joe hope all is well in the studio.Can't wait for the new disc! Talk to you soon. P.S. Philadelphia loves ya!

2TON:Switchin' pickups is a pain,but most of the time worth the trouble.I still have the stock pickups in my Universe.No need to change them,They sound awsome from the factory.No,I did not get the e-mail from Holly.Try again & i'm sure it'll get through.You'll be interested to know that Buck Dharma sent me an e-mail last night.Whoa!!!!He wants to meet little ol' me.Do you know who he is?....Joe does!
looks like one of these gumshoes has found a stick of spearmint....... mark tremonti listens to mark tremonti, like yngwie listens to himself. scott stapp-infection has scott stapp-infection posters on his wall....it's a chemical imbalance in the brain....avarice for g3
Do you mean to tell me all this was to make a point to one person, in as elaborate a sceme as possible. Do you think he even got the hint? I see where people think the kid comes off pompous, but I think he means well. Dooder is right your an egomaniac with too much time on your hands.
So, does Clarky = Avarice?????? No he does not. The 'Avarice character' is a composite of two entities. The 'character' and the 'musician'. I was enlisted to be the 'musician' in this project and therefore I've never posted or mailed under the name of Avarice.... The Avarice 'character' will reveal himself when he is done toying with you..... Search on www.iuma.com with the word 'Sabine' as a 'song' ... you'll then see who Avarice really is..
i read here in earlier posts, few days to weeks about "the 8 steps" a new track by joe. this dates back to 1989 may. i believe. it is in one of joe's books-"Joe Satriani-Guitar secrets". the chord structures and the modes to go with them. you can check it in i think may 89, "guitar for the practicing musician...". i think. i have yet to try it but it looks very interesting. Hey how about something new based on "Endless Pain" ;-)

avarice...yer geetar playing is very kuul..i must admit..that's all it is.
as far as 'art' composition....u couldn't compose on level of Cage or Varese (at least from what i heard from samples) to save your life. your mental capacity is retarded by your ego. so your attack on Cage is a mere display of arrogance. ..when u compose music that will go with David's painting, at the same level...than you'll prove your craft. Since you 'quote' David picture on your site, then live up to the standard. so far it is a plain joke. when i quote theory, i don't 'mix' theory. i quote completely. when u quote theory,and mix your songs with it, you just let everybody know that you desire to be seen as David. indeed..it's you who can't hold a candle to David,Cage,or Varese. so before u attack me on 'quoting' TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN SELF, you on the other hand want to be seen as those artist..but where is the music to back it up? lol. the critic has answered. 'your unrest is my pleasure'. as far as winger comment,...u couldn't get that gig to save your life. Reb is much better guitar player than you.
Jblaze1:Dropped a new DiMarzio(Fred)pickup in my SG,WOW that thing is HOT!it's almost too hot for my SG.I may put the PAF back in the SG and put the Fred in my JS-100 but I'm going to leave it in the SG for now and see if I can tweak it out.I got your e-mail,did you get my reply?My reply may have my wife's name on it,her name is Holly.I'll e-mail you again tonight with the info you asked for....I could be mistaken but I think the name of the band who recorded the song "Mind Bender" was Stillwater.I like the Heil Talk Box,I think it's a killer effect but it's one of those things you don't want to do too much of or else it get's burned out.The band DUST FOR LIFE employ's the Talk Box on their album in a song called "Seed"............ TO THE PEANUT GALLERY:Here's a little factoid for ya Mr.Smarty Pants;) Joe Walsh appeared on what album when he was only 17 years old?....... song of the day "Sonic Oblivion" by 2 TON TESSIE special thanks to Digitech's 2112,ADA's MP-2 and a very special thanks to Mesa-Boogie's Simul 395
PAUL HUXLEY...i have never seen posters etc. in the shops in the UK, but if you keep checking out the Guitar magazines, sometimes there are adverts for tshirts in there. i have the Crystal Planet top, but it only came in extra-large !!(i am a medium!! ok & a size 12 ) I got this a couple of years ago from 'Rock' Mag.My husband wears it , & he always gets EXTRA cuddles from me when he does !LOL, no seriously.....failing that try www.ebay....good luck..***(we have a greaat Joe Satriani (self -titled album) poster that friends brought back from the USA for us )Luv anibur ***.

VIOLET BENDER: Another deep insight into your cut-and-paste psyche!! However, as requested in my previous post, please explain about Frank. Or can you not do this? I am certain that with your dictionary of music sitting by your side you should be able to do this...and speaking of your cut-and-paste boner for Cage, (a modernist who could not hold a candle to Varese), has he released his latest work yet? I think it was called: Concerto for 18 My First Sonys (in D-mented) accomp. by 20 pianos (full of cuddly toys for the Muppet effect, because they are "preparedpianos"). Thinking of giving a reply? Unless it explains Frank, don't bother. So far, you have already lost this war. Back to the Winger site for you "DOOD".
Thought for the day: I think JOE look's kuul with the shaved head, but I'd like
to see him grow it back....short at least....Maybe help give the new release a different flavour!....Never know what to expect from SATCH :)....Let's all hold
a moment of silence for Dr. Matin Luther King......Peace all, Mike
Hey guys, what's new? :) Avarice = Clarky? naa... sure there is a story to tell though :-\ who knows...people are crazy these days! I say live...and let live! Later...
LYDIANR:wow im not sure i have a least fav. satch release, I guess if any is probably the G3 CD i could never get into it plus the fact that i picked it up just before going to the 2001 G3 concert but as far as his personal releases man theirs times i wanna hear some hard stuff from him and at other times if im in a bluesy mood i love to listen to his self titled CD, Or if im going surfing i love to listen to "flying in a blue dream" CD lol so its not that joe has any bad stuff out(my opinion), it's what ever im in the mood to hear. Kinda like all ever listend to was Steve Via's "passion and warfare" and then "alien love secrets" came along now "live in an ultra world" came out and thats all i listen too from Steve at the momment. But that's a good question to ask to see how everyone ranks joe's releases. Well, im outta hear it's 3:00a.m. and iv got to get ready to go to the airport, heading to Lake Tahoe for some snowboarding lol and im taking my satch CD's with me to get myself amped. LONG LIVE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Least favourite satch album. Well the best judge would have to be what I least often reach for from my cd rack. Which is probably Time Machine, followed by SWTA and FIABD - now before you say traitor and stone me- my first Joe CD was EOC which it took me a while to really get into, then I bought Time Machine and loved the ilve tracks from there- in fact I played them so much that I can't now listen to the original songs which I have since bought from FIABD and SWTA without wanting to hear bits of the live versions. Though there are a few tracks from each that make me keep going back, and I do give them a listen now and again. I've absolutely loved the red album (Joe Satriani), the silver album (Crystal Planet) and the fireworky, 3d guitary one (EOC)
hey avarice...on your site..'your unrest is my pleasure'..is really hitting back at ya!;) ..easy duude..as funk doods say..'go wiggle'...it must really bug u that there is somebody outhere posting bout theory. it's a pain in yer bum..isn't it..?? btw..as far as my 'original' thought, i keep my own thoughts 'private'..not out of disrespect..but security reasons.....by why should that bug u??..afterall your bandmate 'vbil' said himself...'create an enigma'..:)..so see...i am quoting left and right...even your own words..to get to a point..;). your Frank case is 'joke' compared next to a tank blowing up 5 year old kids. geddit? af far as your 'federal bunker protection'...can your federal bunker protect u from getting a cancer, or...even worse developing a severe case of ego mania?? as far as 'originality'...let's see what you have to offer to world in terms of originallity....as ...let's say compared to Harry Partch..or John Cage. But i guess u are so caught up into ego maniacal self worship that blinds you from realizing that other people might have more 'informed' opinions about music than your own. Cage was one of such eccentrics and innovators...but unlike u...Cage was very interested in studying all music...even studied with Schoenberg....who knocked him out. As far as the impact of Cage, ...it's little tricky to describe...because your owners of 'govt federal bunkers' labelled him as an anarchist...(he was studying I ching and eastern philosophy)....so when u go sleep in your bunker with yer buddies...make sure to play simple dummified tunes to make them proud. afterall..they can't swallow Cage.
My favorite album is Surfin'..F.I.A.B.D. is second,Crystal planet is next in line.ect,ect,ect.I actually love all of his albums from cover to cover.Keep up the great work JOE!:)
JS CLONE - Haha, yeah, my brother loves them, so I put on "My Own Prison" and said, "let's see how many are in Drop D..." I think 1 or 2 out of ten was in standard tuning, but it was just an E progression. That record is damn cool though...I'm not much of a fan of the later stuff though.
Hi all. I don't have a least-favorite Satriani album. I can honestly say that I like them all...they're all so different, and I can find something interesting in each and every one. I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but oh well. ;-) ...Austin...
"Mark Tremonti" -- you are DEFINITELY NOT mark tremonti. do you think all of us are stupid? sheesh.
--------JS CLONE 2----------- i like the flying in a blue dream album as well. i find some pieces to be sort of humorous, mainly because he is so... *bad* at singing, and so great at guitar. like the song rocket ride, his voice is.. not that good, but the solo is so cool. i just find that contrast to be the most entertaining part of the album. HEY! does anyone here own the "alien love secrets" by VAI?? it's so cool! i like boy from seattle. bad horsie... tender surrender, die to live. cool songs.

EVERYONE READ!?!! ...I don't see that anyone mentioned this, so you guys might not be aware: Ibanez released the NEW Joe Satraini series guitar at NAMM 2002. The guitar will have no trem, but has a locking nut and the fixed bridge looks like a lo-pro edge. The guitar has a "Champagne" color! You can view pics of this guitar as www.ibanezrules.com For those that don't know, Rich Harris runs that site and can get you some of the best prices on new or used JS models!!
Ok, ok, I should probably learn something that would better suit my trusty Electric Ukulele! How about Baroque, or Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness, or maybe Tears in the Rain! Hmm??
MAK - Yeah no kidding drop D for Creed. I never used the D for Friends. I got the whole thing in G mixolydian. I guess I played a D on the next octave. It's been a while. That song (Friends) has a very country sound to it as Joe utilizes the major pentatonic scale which is to country as minor pentatonic is to blues. .................................... AHEM - !!!@@@ CLONE BLOGDOOOOOP!!!!@@@!!!
LydianR - So far my least favourite album released would have to be.....(i'm gonna get flamed for this one).....Flying in a Blue Dream. It's got some great tunes on it, but the majority of them in my opinion seemed to be "filler" songs. There was far too much singing on that album for my taste. And now I stand here awaiting the barrage of stones directed at me....oh yeah, and one more thing. Anyone up for a CLONE BLOGDOOP? Funny story actually, when I went to jam with JSC1, we thought "What if...what IF, this wasn't called a Clone Blogdoop, but actually a Clone Shmingdong....what would things be like then?" Think about it......
Hi guys^_^ John robinson:that was an interseting story,cheers for that mate!...Anyway,I've got another QUESTION for anyone.This isn't surposed to be negative,just a bit of constructive critisism that will hopefully help JOE in todays present economically dangerous climate within the music industry....What Satch album is your LEAST favourite? And what style would you not like joe to engage in again?(say which song styles you like less than others).Remember,this should be CONSTRUCTIVE ctitisism to aid joe,and not negative slagging off!.............BTW if yer interested:b my least favourite satch album is 'engines of creation".Sure it has some beautiful songs("clouds race...","until we say goodbye" etc.),but I think there are also some very weak songs("attack","champagne"etc.),and the guitar tone is very grating at times! Overall I think this is his least consistent album..........I know alot of you will probably say "Not of this earth",but thats one of my favs,and it is an album that has tremendous longevity,I find it alot more dense than his other works...Dig that esoteric kind of vibe that he was creating in his earlier days!!!^_^How's about the return of that type of voodoo-esqe vibe Joe?
DOWNLOAD THIS SONG "wicked russian shred guitar winner" guitar solo arcadiy starodub. man it's the shiite it's all bluesy but semi shreddy too. i really liked it. :) download it. im working now so mesa boogie is coming my way. anybody got and delay techniques they like to fiddle with or know any artist techs please help
JS CLONE - For the rhythm, you need to drop the 6th string to D. That's why he uses the Snake guitar on that one and a Train of Angels. And I'm such a slacker...still haven't gotten ICQ...soon... Tremonti is right though...you'll definitely need to drop to D to play pretty much every Creed song. Soundgarden though, you'll need quite a few guitars to match their tunings...probably some of the weirdest tunings I've played.
Hope this isn't too long... but I wanted to share my experiences with each of Joe's albums.
First heard Joe in the summer of 1988 while working as a short term missionary in Lake Tahoe, California. I heard this amazing guitar song in a 3-beat waltz-like tempo called "Always with me...". I thought at first it was Eddie Van Halen. Someone laughed at this and told me, "no, it's Joe Satriani..." I quickly went out and bought the "Surfing with the alien" release on tape. I played it all summer. Converted lots of friends to Joe as well as Jesus that summer.
Then in 1989 in college I saw someone who looked like Joe in an MTV video. I later learned this was "Big Bad Moon". From that video, I ran to the music store and found "Flying..." on tape. I immediately liked "I Believe". Played it until the tape was worn out. I also found an EP called "Dreaming #11". I played the song "Crush Of Love" to my friends in Japan while on another short-term missionary trip over there.
Somewhere around 1990, I bought "Not of this Earth" on tape. What an ultimate road-trip jam-session! Love the Enigma & Driving at night.
1992, after graduation, I read about the "Extremist" release and anxiously awaited it's arrival in the store. On the day of the release, I bought it on CD & tape (I think this was one of the first CD's I ever owned). Absolutely love "Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness". Still love it today.
1994, in Florida, I saw a 2-album collection called "Time Machine" in the store by chance. I bought it. Not one of my favorites but still... it's Joe so I had to buy it.
1995, I found from a magazine that a new release simply called "Joe Satriani" was coming out. When it did arrive, I bought this on CD & tape. I found this one a bit hard to swallow... since it was quite a departure from his other works. But overtime, I've developed a liking to it. Especially, "you're my world" and "home".
I bought the G3 stuff. But really can't seem to get into it.
In 1999, I found, by chance, another release called "Chrystal Planet". Wow! It had been about 7 years since I'd heard this kind of stuff from Joe. I like this album alot.
Last year, I found "Engines of Creation". This was wierd. But I have to say I really really like the "Clouds in the sky" or whatever it's called. That is such a great tune.
It's been quite a ride since 1988 for me. My life has changed alot since then... and so has Joe. But I keep buying this albums and plan to continue to do so. Joe, you are truly amazing. Thanks for the "good vibes". I am praying for you bud... hope you'll find your way to Jesus (he likes your music too).
God bless, John Robinson.
Mark Tremonti - Friends ... um that would be G# mixolydian. No low tuning required when I learned it. I'm assuming this isn't actually Mark Tremonti of Creed. ...................... JS CLONE 2 - MISSED THE BLOGDOOP!
Just learned Summer Song on the Ukulele! It's amazing what you can do with four strings!!! Joe!!! You Rock!!!

So Violet Bender, what you are really saying is that you have no idea what I am
talking about -but you felt capable of a reply; a smokescreen if you will?
Perhaps you could enlighten us all on T2J as to what my Utah story pertains?
No..I thought as much! And with regards to taxes..do you not support the same
system every time you purchase gas..or food..or cigarettes? Am I worried? Not
too much. Being higher up the food chain than you I sleep assured of my place in
the federal bunker. As your grasp of English has now shown, your whole outlook
on life revolves around the cut-and-paste of other peoples thoughts! Left to
answer for yourself, you fail, ensuring your place in the unemployment line for
the rest of your days. And who will pay for that? US - via our taxes!! A bitter
pill to swallow when rammed down your throat by a bag-lady such as
yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well....avarice..the stones that u cast, ...are stoning back you. Indeed! your example of Frank's farm in Utah is merely an iGnoRamUs jOke! u must be one of those artists who prefer to stay ignorant (while having capacity to be intelligent)...because ignorance makes u feel happy...and all is nice and dandy. ...don't forget to pick up your cane and glasses while beating around the bush. ...if u want to raise 'social' issues, go at the heart of the matter, not beat around the bush. u on the one hand imply Revolution, and make a statement....well..the time is NOW.....well...here is something for you little ignoramus...to reflect on RIGHT NOW. the taxes that u pay, are going to be used for GENOCIDE...i guess u either know this...or still at the ignorant stage where you don't know this......so while u make fluffy statementes of Frank's farm....don't worry about FRANK, worry bout YOU. ..and...don't forget...if you cast stones, know that a BIGGER heavier stone will be tied on your neck.
I can't believe it! Today is Paul Stanley's (Kiss) birthday. HE'S 52!! To think I was listening to Kiss in 1975 and they're still going strong. Anybody know how old Gene Simmons is? HI ANDRE! Good to see some of that blood orange. It's been a while. Welcome back!
Hello!! Hooray!! Let the show begin. I've been ready. Hello!! Hooray!! Let the
lights grow dim. I've been ready. Ready as this audience, that's coming here to

your American dream and it's recruits. I've been ready. Roll out, roll out with
your circus freaks and hula-hoops. I've been ready. God, I feel so strong. I
feel so strong. I'm so str

2 Ton Tessie - I know at least one talk box song that came out before Frampton's Do You Feel Like I Do from 1976. Joe Perry of Aerosmith uses it for vocals in the introduction to the song Sweet Emotion. ===== Higain - The songs on Joe's EP are: Talk To Me, Bananna Mango, Dreaming #11, I Am Become Death, and Saying Goodbye. All are available on Time Machine except for Talk To Me. ...Austin...

You know what's cool about "Love Thing"? It's not just a song, it's both a story and a state of mind.

2TON:Did you get my e-mail by the way? The song name sounds familiar.Greatful dead maybe,I don't really know for sure.There were many tunes that utilized the "TalkBox".She's a woman:By Jeff Beck,which did more than One.Quite a few others.Yarma or however you spell it.Hot Tuna maybe & Eric Clapton.I just really want JOE to do it.He's not done that yet.If he did,It would be nothing less than Bad @$$.SO COME ON JOE! DO SOME TALK BOXIN" FOR US~ PLEASE!!!!!!:)
Joe I have to say that "Friends" and "Train Of Angels" are my fav songs.... The Drop-D thing you did in those is incredible! Back when Soundgarden, Silverchair did the Drop-D thing in tracks like "Spoonman" and "Outshined" and "Isreal's Son" I thought that was the cat's a$$ but then I heard your songs Friends and Train Of Angels, it inspired me to play more Drop-D stuff, and make new songs out of that type of thing! I LOVE DROP-D......... Mark Tremonti of Creed..
WOW!!! I just had the best birthday in my whole life. It was very sweet and loving. Eric and Juliet started the day with lots of love and special wishes for the birthday girl. Joan your birthday wishes are tremendous and meant so much all day......We are going to ski the Mississippi when I come to see you (ok.... maybe not ski the Mississippi but we will put a dent in that Iowa soil for sure:)). Maire, so nice to hear from you too. Thank you. jblaze1 and ovation1 and anibur Thank you too!Oh yeah, and thank you Joe, Eric and Juliet for the birthday song, the wigs made it!!! It is great to be part of the Satch family!!!My bad luck birthday spell has finally been broken Patty. I have been set free with a kiss from prince Eric. I am the luckiest girl in the whole wide world!!! Thanks again yall from the bottom of my heart.Twig
Finally, we hear from a band member besides Joe! (Not that hearing from Joe isn't great!) It doesn't surprise me that some of the original Joe Satriani songs ended up on "Time Machine". Some of them did sound like they were recorded with older gear. Let me guess the four: Dreaming no. 11, The Mighty Turtle Head, All Alone (aka Left Alone) and the Original Banana Mango. Can someone give me a score? ;-)
Hello Ovation 1,thanks for the warm welcome. Alocalperson(Paul Huxley)thanks for taking the time to listen to my track, much appreciated, it's good to get some real feedback from someone you don't know,the points you make are valid and will be addressed in my next composition, the guitar does get lost in the mix in the middle because I was using an Octaver and recorded the track for a guitar competition and I rushed the final mix because I was running out of time and it was too late to re-do it, anyway, I'm not making excuses, it's all a learning curve and we learn by our mistakes, anyway I'm glad you liked it, thanks for listening and I hope you can provide more constructive criticism on any more tracks when they're done, cheers. http://steelbreeze.iuma.com/.
Ps, Do you know if it's the connection speed that dictates the sound quality when you listen to a track off iuma coz I've only got a 56k and the sound quality sucks when I listen to a track.
Anyone know where in England I might be able to get Vai/Satriani posters/t-shirts? With regards to the Avarice/Clarky issue, Clarky didnt ever seem to be really up for posting his mp3s on the internet so the thought that he might copy a person who everyone knows on this site with even thinking anyone might notice is ridiculous. No, it has to go deeper than that.
joe thank you for bringing so many fantastic song to the world i think your songs should be used to make world peace ta dave......
Date: Sun Jan 20 02:49 AVARICE<mail@shreduniverse.com>:
AVARICE / CLARKY? The quickest way to settle this is as follows..go to iuma.com
and type in Rape of the Sabine women in the search section. You will get the
Avarice site and the Clarky fraud site. Go to the Avarice site and my band
members list will explain all! Violent Bender: Context? What about Frank and his
farm in Utah. Did he not know thw true meaning of the French revolution? Sure,
his grain grew strong and proud, but at the end of the day he still never paid
for the farm. A person who is hanging by a rope can never really toil on his
land, but I do see your point. It is a point that I too would raise, but the
time is not now and the place is not France. Hope this helps. If you need any
further clarification, just ask. Never be afraid to admit your own limitations.
Song of the day: Hello, Hooray. Alice
Jblaze1:Talking about a "Talk Box"....Do you know who made this song popular in the 70's? - My Mama was a Gibson my Daddy was a Fender, that's why they call me MIND BENDER, MIND BENDER that's my name.....this was the first tune I can remember hearing that had a Talk Box effect on the guitar.I'm almost sure that this song came out sometime before Peter Framton's "Do you feel like I do"
message to avarice...."My purpose is to eliminate purpose"- John Cage. see avarice doode, ...when attempting to be thought-provoking...try to at least conceal the ignorance by 'quoting' art in the right context. When quoting David, and artists like Diderot, and the whole French mafia during the Revolution.., who had guts to wind up in jail and face guillotine ..in REAL life...not a mere 'vain-hobby', at least attempt to post music that will turn the govt against you,..just like they did in their time, in REAL life. Now, then you are quoting those artists in the real context. Otherwise, you are doing their art a disservice by reducing it to a mere idea. Live it, not preach it. and don't do it for the 'shock' value. here is some more REAL stuff for you to check out... Cage was not interested in shock (the replacement of competence with ignorance, responsibility with foolishness, etc.), but instead with the exclusion of intention and ego. So if you can 'quote' David's painting along the music that WILL GO WITH it, you have done your job. the critic has answered.
thedanger - 4 of the 5 songs on Joe's first EP were later released on his Time Machine album. The 5th song (actually the first on the EP), Talk To Me, wasn't included because of some problems with the master tape. It's on Audio Galaxy, though. ...Austin...
Eric! Nice of you to drop in here man :) Haven't seen you since the hammerstien in 2000! Was with my frien Chris B. from France! Haha You guys spoke French so I just walked away :) Later...
I would just like to say that the whole Avarice and Clarky thing is like a bad Soap Opera. Either one of those guys is a total fraud,or its just one guy with a severe mutiple personality disorder. I just checked out both thier sites and they both have some of the same exact songs. Would anyone care to explain why?Or is anyone even interested?
JOE RULZ JOE RULZ JOE RULZ . hey joe, just wanted to say I appriciate all the good music you've put out so far... It contributes greatly to the guitar community. Hope to hear more soon!!
Man I cant believe it, but i knew it would go down like this with my luck. Dream Theater will not be touring the southern states CRAP!!!!! Damn promoters down here in Houston if it aint top 40 then their not interested.

The person wearing that Vai shirt was one of two guys sitting to the right of us. Yeah that concert was dope. Hey.....we can only post once every four hours on this site??? Thats kinda wack........anyways, I was wondering if any of you fans hear might have the ORIGINAL Joe Satriani EP album. The one that he released himself......very few copies. I know none of you would sell me this priceless item but hoping that perhaps someone could make me a copy of it. Of course I would pay you a reasonable fee.
Olá ,muito prazer em estar deixando esta mensagem , pena que sou brasileiro, e não sei nada de inglês, mas tomara que alguém a traduza para o melhor entendimento, bom, gostaria de falar que só tem uns anos que acompanho o trabalho de joe satriani, mas consegui neste pouco tempo adquirir 07 cds dele e um dvd duplo com o show ao vivo em são francisco.
Gostaria de desejar-lhe muitos anos de vida e composições maravilhosas para que eu continue a adquirir seu trabalho. muito grato pelo espaço dado e como eu adoraria se pudesse ter um reconhecimento mais pessoal deste super artista chamado joe satriani, parabéns pela canção ALWAYS WITH ME, ALWAYS WITH YOU , foi através dela que me apaixonei pela obra de joe satriani...
Muitas felicidades, e meus sinceros agradecimentos aqui do BRASIL...
VALEU VC É FERA CARA...
Anyone want to hear some nice soft tones from my new Axe?? Add my above email adress to your MSN Messenger lists and I'll send the track! Peace.....Barrie!
joe, glad to hear your in the studio. the next album, im sure, will be great.
im realy hoping you win some awards,,, i voted already. if you read this
i just want you to know your an inspiration for a lot of guitarist, thanks, and keep that strange beautiful music alive. thegoosecurtissmith
Wow! What a suprise ~ the Eagles actually WON! It's gonna snow. Oh wait, it IS snowing! Does this means hell is going to freeze over too? lol! HEY JOE, who do you think is going to wind up in the Super Bowl? Anybody else wanna guess? I'll cast my vote for a Pennsylvania Super Bowl and say the Eagles and the Steelers. O.K., maybe just the Steelers and I would be happy, but my husband is an Eagles fan and it's always more fun when we have opposing teams.
The Danger - Did you sit directly in front of us? I remember a few people around. As JS Clone 2 asked, were you wearing the shirt that said "That Steve Vai, What a nice little boy." Yes I got my magazine signed. It's awesome because there is a 2 page foldout of Joe and Steve sitting beside eachother with their guitar. Joe with Chromboy and Steve with his UVMC.
THEDANGER - Hmmmm, did you by any chance have a shirt on that said "Oh that Stevie Vai, what a nice little boy" or something like that? Somebody at g3 sat in front of us wearing that shirt, can't remember if it was you or not. Great shows though. THERE'S PICS FROM NAMM 2002! check out ibanezrules.com. The CG (Champagne Gold) JS is so nice, but I was expecting it to be the 7 string that joe mentioned in the webcast. I'm sure it sounds nice.
I hope joe wins a grammy for "always" that song is so beautiful, its one of the few satch song s my G/f likes and she hopes he wins as well... COME ON JOE U RULE ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. dude.. where is my chromeboy? is it in the post or wot??? hehehehehehehe ... yeah, anyway...
yo avarice ..doode/dooodette? of course i don't post my own notes! it's all 'quoted' stuff. "quality" is better (ie.to me at least) than individuality. those notes are taken from somebody who has Doctors in Music. i like to be informed with the CORRECT theoretical information. if i posted my 'opinions' on theory, i would do YOU a disservice. so, by showing a sense of distance, u get the best quality of presentation u can ...within 3000 characters post limit. i never said they were my notes...in FACT, i always , *always*, post 'skool' notes, before the 'condendensed' version of the 'actual' notes is posted. the actual notes are waaaaaaaaaaay more in depth. rather than follow my own 'opinions' ...i like to *investigate**evaluate*and *verify* from the *credible* sources. if i posted u my 'mere' opinions, i would do u disservice.

EVERYONE CONFUSED BY CLARKY/AVARICE: Once he has some time, Clarky will be back in here to explain. JSCLONE: Ok, sounds good...I'll get the software today.
Thanks for the helpful info guitar0712 and JS Clone 1. I guess I'll have to compulsively check on the page every 5 minutes until they start taking orders again!!!!
BY THE WAY, JS CLONE 1 and 2.......I always wanted to mention this before but I think I sat in front of you in the G3 Concert last year in Massey Hall(Toronto). I was in the front row with my friend and you were right behind me. I looked behind me and thought....."dang, those two must be DIE HARD Satch fans." I had a short conversation with one of you guys cause you brought an old magazine with SATCH on it and wanted to get it signed. My friend and I are both Korean so you might remember us. We drove from Rochester, NY on the concert day hoping for decent tickets and we were able to get FRONT ROW tickets at the booth. We were extremely LUCKY. I think the scalpers couldn't sell the tickets so they returned them to the box. Anyways, that concert was great.....my first time watching SATCH live.
AndyofUK - i downloaded your track last night, just giving it another listen now. Each of the bits of it sound very nice, some great sounding guitar there. In fact i liked everything about it except the following. a) there was nothing that at the end of it i could go away humming- this could be improved by more straight repetition perhaps? b) there didnt seem to be too natural a link between each section, maybe some more contrast, or something really unique to each section? c) The sound of the guitar got lost at a point during the middle where i really couldnt hear what was going on. Having said all that, it is a good listen, and it's now on my T2J playlist ;)
KEV GRAHAM.....good point !! :-)) oh by the way all Jimi Fans, go to www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 NOW !! for the next 30 minutes it is the 2nd half of the Jimi Hendrix story. Good to see you back Michelle ! Luv anibur***
How come Gibson and Fender guitars rise in value with their age and Ibanez's dont? Speaking about the regular ones and not the singature models. Cause they DO rise in value dont they
Happy recording sessions Joe-(is that a holiday?).........Happy B-day yayo!!...
...Wow, Contraversy here at T2J, I am so completely confused about the whole,
Clarky/Averice thing, I just don't get it??.....Oh well.....One thing i do know,
as i have posted before, I can't understand why Averice (whoever he is) never
told us his real name, If i could play like that I would want everybody to know
who i was - wierd- ...............bye
Wow! I woke up & looked out the window-SNOW-It's about time.I think it's time to go make a Joe man,I mean Snow man! I even have the funky shades to put on it.Sorry for all the excitement folks,it's just that we hardly ever get snow here on the eastern shore of Maryland.Usually it's slush or ice.Song of the day:Our song(Yes)Album:90125.See ya!
Mak - All you need is the dix 4.12 codec. I have it and can send it to you along with the video clips no prob. ............

In the midst of all this Clarky/Avarice stuff, I'd just like to raise the point that the person who posts in blue may not actually be Joe Satriani. I have suspected this for a while, and have compiled a list of possible suspects who could be pretending to be Joe:
1) JS Clone 1 or 2 (Did they go too far in trying to be like Joe?)
2) JFK. (Assassinated in '63? Yeah, right)
3) Atilla The Hun
4) The Crippler...
LOL Jose, on the Limp Biskit Stuff....I agree ;)......Good idea on the B-Day thingie Yayo....(BTW Happy B-Day) :).....Very interesting notes there dooder!..
I enjoy the lecture......Hey Clarky! Hmmmmmmm....Avarices site has your pic.
on there....I asked you back on 13 Nov. if u had comment's on Avarice ('cause I thought you we're him), then on the 24th I said Avarice=Clarky....You said you didn't have the time to be him, LOL, Paul Clark IS Paul Clark :)....Congrat's Neil!....Welcome AndyfromGrimsbyUk......LMAO MonsterZero :)......We'll, I think a good song of the day would be: "One Function" from the Kotzen/Howe Project :)

Yeah Omar, Satch's music is used a lot for backing music down here, too. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing - Some of the most inspired music in the world playing behind a couple of boring talking heads without anyone being aware of it. I think parts of my last post were misinterpreted - YAYO, I wasn't saying you were Avarice. MAK, I know your "flame" was intended for Hansman.
Gabe, thanks for taking the time to listen to my track, I really appreciate it, there'll be some more original stuff as soon as I can get round to doin em. Can you or anybody tell me why I can only listen to tracks streamed through real player coz the sound quality sucks, I downloaded some of Avarices' tracks before and the sound was really good but now I can't, please help. Anyone else want to have a listen go here, http://steelbreeze.iuma.com/. Cheers.
ok, i think on th 8th jan. i wrote that joe's music from EOC was on PTVWORLD, a pakistani tv channel. if anyone cares. i couldnt catch the name of th show then. now i did. ironically, its an all women's show. there is not a single man in it. its about fashion, actress interviews, makeup and women designers, i mean clothes designers who are women and designing for women. they showed their email address which was long and i couldnt catch that. but i could later check to see what frequency and what satellite this program is beamed from. the programm is "Andaaz Apna Apna" (rough traslation: In their Own Style). they use Devil's slide between scene changes and the beginning and end titles. they use "clouds race across..." during some interviews. some more guitar music was used as well, i had no idea who that was. it was not satch. was a strat thing. this satellite coverage is all over mideast, south asia, parts of russia, also routed to europe also. just thought that i should let folks on this site know. i hope someone reads this.-Omar.

Clarky! I am shocked to see that you have taken all my songs and used them in
your site! What the hell is that all about? I have contacted iuma.com and asked
them to pull your site with immediate effect. Good job someone was kind enough
to e-mail me and let me know what was going on here on the Satch site. No wonder
I don't visit anymore. Thank God for real guitar sites like petrucci.com. At
least there, they know what they are talking about. And as for Vaiolent
Offender: your cut and paste theory sessions are lame dude..so lame. We know
it's not you writing as after your very poor English introduction, you veer off

....so...how is the downhill skiing comin?? .if u hit a tree..hug it ...then kiss it......kuul...skoool....SUBSET STRUCTURE
A series is built up from its smaller parts, its subsets.
The sound of the series, and thus the sound of a piece based on the series, is shaped by the structure of its subsets
It is possible to construct series with very different intervallic characteristics: Webern, for example, prefers series that use only a few different intervals and that make particularly heavy use of interval class 1. Berg, on the other hand, has a preference for series that use the triadic intervals, (3, 4, 5). Those contrasting preferences account for the difference in the sound of Webern's and Berg's twelve-tone music.
Composers often build series by combining a number of smaller sets. As listeners, we may not be able to hear the series itself, nor its various manipulations (transpositions, retrogrades, inversion, retrograde-inversions); however, we can listen for the smaller collections, the intervals and subsets embedded within the series.
EVERY FORM OF A SERIES (P, R, I, RI) WILL HAVE THE SAME SUBSET STRUCTURE because set class membership is not affected by transposition, inversion, or reordering.
For example, if first 3 notes are (027), then so will the first three notes of all the P and I forms, and the last three notes of all the R and RI forms.
Recall Schoenberg's series from String Quartet #4

Joe mate if possible can you put on the faces of your friends and family on the new album some where so we satch fans know what your family look like.
I would really love to see what Z.Z really looks like thankx man C ya later......
Thanx for enlightening us for so long and pushing the barriers of the guitar until break point!Love the new live album-as usual..FANTASTIC!One query,why are the crowd booing whenever poor old Stu Hamm is mentioned?
Hi Joe, I'm one of your biggest fans in the philippines...I shaved my head as soon as I saw you bald. I bought an Ibanez sv470 and I hotrodded it with a PAF pro and Fred Dimarzio pickup. You really inspire me to play techno and electronica...but I am a purist. I love blues and jazz, and I am having a hard time mixing them up. But you seem to incorporate a lot of styles in your music...please give me advice....Marco de Leon (zvirtuoso@yahoo.com)
Well, hello to Joe and all hear in satchland. It seems like ages since i last was here, computer is on it's death bed time for a new one. Joe i got a question: any hint of a G3 2001 VIDEO/DVD? Iv come accross a few bootleg home videos made of the G301 show on ebay( i think it was from canada). I bought one to check it out and see. Not bad they didnt catch all of the show (the jam session at the end) but it sure brought back memories of when i was their in Houston. Of course you had to deal with someones hand keep popping up and the sound could have been better but like i said it was home made. It seems this G3 tour was pretty popular nothing taken from Eric Johnson i think he's an excellent guitarist i love his work. but it just seems like a bigger responce when Petrucci was put on tour.So could their be a G3 2001 video/dvd (produced by you) out anytime soon? Anticipating the new CD Joe sounds like its gonna rock....like you could ever disappoint us lol!!!!! Well, till next time... good golf, good tennis or whatever makes you happy.....LONG LIVE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!
HIGAIN - Thanks, but that was directed towards Hansman. Sorry if it seemed to be at YAYO. Trust me, he and Clarky are cool in all respects. What I meant was that YAYO was correct in stating that Avarice and Clarky are not the same. In any case, Philly still sucks...I have plenty to back me up on that one. I mean, it's not as bad as Detroit or, say, any city in Florida, but it's no Boston, San Francisco, or NYC. JSCLONE - It's all somewhat murky to all of us. Anyway, I'm back on T1, so I'll have to ICQ you some time for the vids, once I download the software...later man...
Went to the G3 show in Ft Worth, had a box seat. Excellent! Was very pleased to come to the site and see the Web Cast, way cool, now I can email the link to a zillion people and turn them on to Joe. Long live Joe and Company!!

NEW MEMBER here...sorta anyway. I hadn't been here in so long, that I forgot my username & password. So JOE, will your new album have a "progressive" feel to it? You dig Dream Theater? If so, what is your fave album?
...so far the 'theory' revolved around discussing music in terms of unordered pitch class sets...however...here is a new concept. ...skoool notes...
Serialism deals with ordered sets, or series. A series is a line, not a set, of pitch classes.
A pitch class set retains its identity no matter how its pitch classes are ordered. In a series, however, the pitch classes occur in a particular order; the identity of the series changes if the order changes.
Although a series can be any length, by far the most common is a series consisting of all twelve pitch classes.
Music that uses a series of twelve different pitch classes as its basic, referential structure is known as twelve-tone music.
The row/series plays an important part in this music
it can be a theme or "tune" that reoccurs throughout the piece;
it can be like a scale, the basic referential collection from which harmonies and melodies are drawn;
it can be a repository of motives, a large design within which are embedded numerous smaller designs.
However, it plays a greater role in twelve tone music than theme, scale, or motive play in tonal music.
In tonal music, the scales and even to some extent the themes and motives are part of the common property of the prevailing musical style.
From piece to piece and from composer to composer, a great deal of musical material is shared.
Tonal music is relatively communal.
In twelve-tone music, however, relatively little is shared from piece to piece or composer to composer; virtually no two pieces use the same series.
Twelve tone music is thus relatively contextual.
The series is the source of structural relations in a twelve-tone piece. From the immediate surface to the deepest structural level, the series shapes the music.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
BASIC OPERATIONS
Unlike unordered pitch classes sets, series can be subjected to processes such as transposition and inversion for the sake of development, contrast, and continuity.
Remember, however, that transposing a twelve tone series does not introduce any new pitches (as would be the case in a set of less than 12 pitch classes); you get the same twelve pitch classes, but in a different order. The same is true of inversion.
The series is traditionally used in four different orderings: prime, retrograde, inversion, and retrograde-inversion. Some statement of the series (usually the very first one in the piece) is designated the prime ordering and the rest are calculated in relation to it.
EXAMPLE: SCHOENBERG STRING QUARTET #4
vln1: pitches D C# A Bb F Eb E C Ab G F# B
unordered
pitch classes 0 11 7 8 3 1 2 10 6 5 4 9
ordered pc
intervals 11 8 1 7 10 1 8 8 11 11 5
(first line is actual pitches, second is "movable-do", beginning on D, and the third line is the intervals between pitches)

Yes there will be a second shipment for sale, they made like 7000 and there are 3000 more coming. They will sell them on the website. BUT DO NOT BUY ONE! Cause I didn't get mine yet and I don't want anyone taking mine. JK of course
Hello all......first time posting. Love your music Joe. Can't wait to hear your new CD that I hear you recently began recording. By the way, got a quick Vai related question cause I know many of you are die hard Vai fans as well. According to the web page they have taken pre-orders for the Secret Jewel Box and currently sold out on the first shipment. Are they gonna take pre-orders for the second shipment as well or is that sold out too?? Thanks again.

Clarky/Ya Yo/Mak - What's the deal with the whole situation? I have read all the recent comments after my last post but it still seems inconclusive. Ya Yo - Happy B-Day. .................... ................... VBIL - You continue to mock me yet you don't want the viedo I have to offer? Something's wrong here... it's you.
I think I fingered it out. Pro tools HD 5.3, Joe? Nice job Paul (can you play Magical Mystery Tour in the time it takes a MacLaren to vault 0-60 MPH?).
Hey Joe! Just got back from my "tour" of Mexico, its really nice in the winter. Anyway, I was lucky enough to score a JS 10th at a reasonable price.
I was wondering, I like my action extremely low, pretty near buzzing. You cant hear it much through a full up amp, but I noticed several shims under the locking nut and wondered if you ever shim any of the necks on your guitars.
Hast la vista, baby! rosster
JOE YOU KICK TAIL DUDE!! Not that im brown nosing or anything!! Anyway!! Can i make my guitars action low without causing buzzing etc, cause i tried and i just cant get it down to your level, i can get it to about 2mm then all sorts of thing start going wrong!!
...to continue previous topic of Pitch Class Theory...here is some more notes. btw...u can apply this theory to tons of 20thC music and dissect music of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, ..and yes..Satch. don't just read Satch theory...there is a whole universe outhere..;) ...school notes p.c. continued.....
MODULO 12
Every pitch belongs to one of the twelve pitch classes. Going up one octave (adding 12 semitones) or down one octave (subtracting 12 semitones) will just produce another member of the same pitch class.
For example
Eb = 3
add octave 3 + 12 = 15 = 3
Thus, any number larger than 11 and smaller than 0 is equivalent to some integer from 0 to 11. To figure out which one, just add or subtract 12 (or any multiple of 12).
INTERVALIC CONTENT
"The quality of a sonority can be roughly summarized by listing all the intervals it contains"
We can summarize the interval content in a scoreboard fashion by indicating the number of occurrences of each of the six interval classes. Such a scoreboard conveys the essential sound of a sonority.
Schoenberg, Piano Piece, Op.11, No. 1
interval class 1 2 3 4 5 6
no. of occurrences 1 0 1 1 0 0
Like any three note sonority, it contains three intervals: interval class 1, 3, and 4.
Compare this to Stravinsky, which contain only 2s and 5s:
interval class 1 2 3 4 5 6
no. of occurrences 0 1 0 0 2 0
The difference in sound is clearly suggested by listing the interval-class content of the sonorities.
This can be represented by an interval vector, which gives the number of occurrences of interval classes. Thus, the Schoenberg is 101100, and the Stravinsky is 010020.
"A tool like this would not be nearly so necessary for talking about traditional tonal music. There are only a few basic sonorities (four kinds of triads, and five kinds of seventh chords) in regular use. In post-tonal music, we will confront a huge variety of musical ideas. The interval vector will give us a convenient way of summarizing their basic sound".
PITCH CLASS SETS
PC sets are the basic building blocks of much post-tonal music
A pc-set is simply an unordered collection of pitches - a motive from which many of the identifying characteristics - register, rhythm, order - have been boiled away. What remains is simply the basic pitch-class and interval class identity of a musical idea.
"a composer can unify a composition by using a pc set (or a small number of different pc-sets) as a basic structural unit. At the same time, he or she can create a varied musical surface by transforming that basic unit in different ways. When we listen to or analyze music, we search for coherence. In a great deal of post-tonal music, that coherence is assured through the use of pitch-class sets."
Ya Yo - You felt like some attention, huh? That wasn't a nice thing to do to Clarky. What I don't understand is this: Everyone just laughed at Avarice before, which was fair enough. (After all, he never said anything intended to hurt people) Suddenly, when everyone thinks Avarice is the same person as someone we respect, everyone hates him. Why? Is it because you all feel you have been tricked into liking him? Grow up, guys!! Great comeback by Mak, though!
HANSMAN - Well that was intelligent. Too bad you know nothing. YAYO's post has some nice insight on the matter. CLARKY has been on tours around the world several times. Big Bad Philadelphia isn't going to scare him. I've lived in Philly for almost 19 years. Why anyone would actually WANT to live there for more than a month is beyond me. Clarky wouldn't leave because Joey Merlino or Fat Ange got him...he'd leave because the place flat out sucks.
JOE: How about some comentary on the new Ibanez JS2000CG. Why is the Edge tremelo unit on it FIXED? Why not just have an actual FIXED bridge like the JS700? I don't understand why you would put a double locking tremelo system on a guitar and then make it FIXED, especially when 75% of your tunes require a working tremelo. It looks cool, but, shed some light please. There are ALOT of us out here that are curious about it. Thanks. **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
Joe u rock, when are u coming down under to Australia you've got alot of fans here and it would be great to have you in Brisbane, Queensland. Can wait for your new cd, seyahs.
CLARKY: You should be ashamed of yourself..leading all these nice folks on with
your Avarice stories..you will burn in Hell for this one dude..or perhaps Keith
Handjob will get to you first with the Philly rent boys..who
knows?...quick..look everyone...there's Clarky in the corner..let's get
him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS EVERYONE for the happy birthday wishes :-) and by the way CLARKY IS NOT AVARICE....trust me...if i told you how i knew i would have to kill you. song of the day - soulful terrain by eric johnson (from tones)
well clarky is avarice............... hey p*ssy boy I got some words for from good ol us of a.......... go f*ck ypourself........... youd last about a month in the philly area. maybe longer in the midwest. Stay near the queen you f*ck
alocalperson - A threaded message board would be a lot easier to read for all of us, Joe included. There could even be a "Talk To Joe" section where we actually ask him questions...and he could read / answer them whenever he felt like it. Then we could have a "IUMA" section, an "off topic" section, and just about anything else we could think of. It would organize things a lot more. The big problem though, I'm pretty sure that it costs $$$ to get one of the threaded boards, while what we have for Talk To Joe now is probably very inexpensive, if it's not designed by Jon (in which case it would be free, basically). Like I said before, it's up to Jon and Joe as to whether or not they want to change anything. If a change was coming, I imagine it would be soon so it would coincide with the new album stuff. ...Austin...

..satch talks bout pitch axis...but here is pitch class thingie...school notes...Introduction to Pitch Class Theory
BASIC CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
Octave Equivalence
There is something special about the octave. Pitches separated by one or more octaves are usually perceived as in some sense equivalent.
Our musical language reflects this by giving the same name to octave-related pitches. The pitch A, for example, does not necessarily mean 440 cycles per second, but all the A's, one or more octaves above or below it.
Equivalence is not the same as identity. Example 1 shows the opening violin melody of Schoenberg's Fourth String Quartet, and below it as it occurs near the end of the movement. The two versions are different in many ways (rhythm, range); however, it is easy to recognize that they are the same melody - in other words, equivalent. They are not identical, but they have something basic in common, pitch equivalence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Pitch Class
It is important to distinguish between a pitch (a tone with a certain frequency) and a pitch class (a group of pitches with the same name).
Pitch Class G, for example, contains all the pitches named G. When we say that the lowest note on a violin, is G, we are referring to a particular pitch, which can be notated musically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Enharmonic Equivalence
In functional harmony, a Bb is not the same thing as an A#. Even on an equal tempered instrument such as the piano, the tonal system gives Bb and A# different functions and meanings. For one thing, they represent different scale degrees. In G major, A# is a raised second, whereas a Bb is a lowered third - these have different musical roles both melodically and harmonically.
In Post Tonal music, A# and Bb are essentially the same.
In the example below, both melodies are enharmonically equivalent (although the first is easier to read).
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Integer Notation
Because of enharmonic equivalence, there are only twelve different pitch classes. All the B#, C naturals, and Dbb are members of a single pitch class.
integers can be used to denote the different pitch classes:
integer name
pitch-class content
0
C
1
C#, Db
2
D
3
D#, Eb
4
E
5
F
6
F#, Gb
7
G
8
G#, Ab
9
A
10
A#, Bb
11
B
For now, 0 will always refer to pitch class C.
We will not do things to the numbers that don't make musical sense (for example, division). Subtraction, on the other hand, is useful. 7 - 5 = 2, or the difference between G and F is 2, a major second.
This will not make music mathematical - it simply gives us a method of comparing and working with different pitch classes.
Clarky = Avarice? Well fu&k me. Clarkly I was starting to like you. You're a fuc&ing tosser. If you're not Avarice, then I take it all back. I apologise, and it's my round ;-)
Hi everyone or anyone, I'm a guitarist fairly new to this site as I've just got a PC and was wonderin if anyone would like to check out my track on my iuma site. I have listened to other players like Avarice, Ricky Garcia and Matt King and seen they have got some rather unwarranted responses off certain people. I don't want to upset anyone here, I'd just like a little feed back or advice from neutral people (even Joe, that would make my day), anyway, check it out if you can find the time and don't be too harsh on me, I'm a very sensitive guy. Cheers. http://steelbreeze.iuma.com/.
Hey guys. Wow, I haven't been here in a while. I got the internet bill through - ouch. Had to pay it off before I could come back. I hope you all had a great christmas and new year and all that stuff, yeah...? Hey, Joe - congratulations on those nominations, man!!!! It's coz you keep real you know... Anyways; how y'all been? I had my eighteenth birthday a week ago, which was pretty ace I have to say. ===================== So, while I was "away", I took the opportunity to practise like crazy and try to record some of my tunes for yaz, and I've been quite succesful. I have a CD writer and stuff now too. Anyway, this one tune that I've been working on and nearly finished (just got to add the string and percussion parts to the backing track, and then record all the guitar parts) is sounding really good, and I'm really pleased with the outcome so far. It's a ballad called "When Dreams Come True", and it's along the same sort of line as Vai's "Whispering A Prayer". When it's done I'll let you know and it'd be great if y'all could give it a listen for me. Pretty please... ======== There's this local music festival that happens around where I live that's just started out (it's the second one this year), but it was really succesful last year, and a HUGE turnout. So anyway, my band has been specifically asked to headline it. Cool, huh? And we may have a gig at quite a prestigious venue at Tonbridge Wells caled The Forum (any Englanders heard of it?) in the pipe line. Pretty exciting stuff. Anyway, gotta go now - nature calls. Catch y'all L8r. Neil.

I think is about time to start going on about a guitar clinic(guitarist forum) again.I think this time we should coordinate a specific day that we all just make posts about a guitar clinic and nothing else,kinda like one big voice yelling at ya...GUITAR CLINIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and on that day everybody interested could give an idea of what they would like to see in such a forum.There is already a section here that shows you how Joe's guitar is set up,if that could be updated with new stuff from time to time that would be cool
Joe, how about doin' your version of Stone Free, Steve did his version of Scuttle Buttin' with Jibboom, just an idea :) Anyone know if there's much difference between the Soulbender and the Ultimate Octave pedals?
Ronnie aka Fab Lawyer...ThanX for checking out my site at http://www.mp3.com/ProgX! Hope You enjoy the music! *** Ya Yo...Happy Birthday, dude! A day when you truly can have your cake and eat it, too! :) *** Satch...best of luck to you in snagging that Grammy this year! :) *** To all on the board (especially those with driving distance of Washington DC)...Imbue, the band I went to see the night I got robbed and shot, has arranged to hold a benefit concert for me with all proceeds going to my medical bills. I've known the guys in Imbue for a while now, and they are so cool for putting this together. The show will be at the 9:30 Club in DC on Sunday, January 27th, doors open at 2pm. The show will feature seven local bands that I highly recommend and support: Imbue, Dog Fashion Disco, Live Alien Broadcast, SEV, 51 Peg, .click., and Margret Heater. The show flyer made the entire back cover of Unsung Hero magazine. Anyone wanting to see the article they wrote about me is free to visit their site at http://www.uhero.com, just click on "Prog X 9:30 Club Benefit". If any of you are in the area it sure would be nice to see you all there! By the way, I FINALLY broke down and got some business cards made...so I can stop writing my site on little pieces of paper to promote myself! No doubt I'll probably be wh0ring myself and my site around at the show... :) *** Looks like we're expecting snow on the East Coast...SUCKS!!! I was supposed to go to a party this weekend. Oh, well...my site's in the middle of a massive update, so maybe I'll just sit in and work on that with a big glass of hot chocolate nearby. :) *** Kudos to all, and hope to see as many of you that decides to come to the 9:30 Club on the 27th! :)
Hey all! I've been reading this site since waaaay back when and, although I've only posted a few times (under a different name), I always read with interest the comments from various 'personalities' on here. It's interesting how you automatically build pictures in your mind of what someone is like based on their comments and, I must say, I've had a **GREAT** laugh picturing some of the more colourful characters, particularly good old Wolf (wherever you are mate) and, more recently, the very 'individual' VBIL. Although he sounds like he's pretty much a full load short of a full load (if you know what I mean), morbid curiosity always makes me want to read who he is going to attack next and who, if anyone, will eventually shut him up.
Well, getting to the point of all this - I just listened to Clarky's (fellow Londoner)stuff on his site and I was *completely* gob-smacked. Clarky man - you can really rip! Listening to people with your kind of knowledge, emotion and facility on the guitar and who also happen to be down to earth, non-ego-maniacal types, actually inspires me to want to play better. I guess that's why I've also always been drawn to Joe - it's more than just the music, it's the whole package. To sum up, if your demo's don't shut-up VBIL once and for all, then god help us all as I don't know what will! Sorry for the long post all, but felt I had to write at last. Hope you're all well!
Happppppeeeeee Birthday Ya Yo,~~~if we were all on the front page for our special day,I would be right there aling with Nitsua 111 (25th May) !!LOL....& a few thousand others as well , there is actually about 42000 members registered on here ! :))))Of course it is just as well only a chosen few take time to post on here !HEY JOE could you rewrite that old song 'Happy Birthday'?
Now that would be Cooooool.Song for today....--Flying in a Blue Dream --(by the way i like this site just as it is )
y'all doods post some kuul music...gypsy gypsy 'gypsy' !!! gypsy is NOT AFRAID OF MUSIC. big deal, gypsy don't even read music,no biggie theory....doods..don't be AFRAID OF MUSIC. think of it like skiing downhill and just focus on the flow.if u hit a tree, big deal!better hit a tree, than sit home talk bout 'perfect' skiing. some jazz doods (miles' geetar duud)think of it as 'boxing'..u know..u focus on the 'gut' and get the leg work happenin'...if your 'gut' and leg work not happenin'...u knocked out...by the music...shlobadabadibidooo(d)..more school notes ...Notation
A score no longer needs to represent sounds by means of specialized symbols we call musical notation. These symbols are normally read by the performer, who tries his/her best to reproduce, as accurately as possible, the sounds the composer initially "heard" and then stored.
Instead, the composer can present ideas to the performer.
Cornelius Cardew, a composer very much influenced by Cage, wrote: "A composer who hears sounds will try to find a notation for sounds. One who has ideas will find one that expresses his ideas, leaving their interpretation free, in confidence that his ideas have been accurately and concisely notated"
Cage: "Let the notations refer to what is to be done, not to what is heard, or to be heard."
Process
Composers no longer need to be concerned only with a defined time-object whose materials, form, and relationships are calculated and arranged in advance.
Instead, they can pursue defining a situation in which sounds may occur, a process of generating actions or sounds.
Such processes, which bring about "acts the outcome of which are unknown" can range from a minimum of organization to a minimum of arbitrariness, proposing different relationships between chance and choice, options and obligations
Time
Time may initially be nothing more than a frame to be filled.
"Beginnings and ends are not points on a line but limits of a piece's material"
Time may be freed/released by
choosing a time frame at random and then filling it with sounds
having a duration be based upon a natural event (the length of time it takes for a note to decay on the piano, for example)
duration may be the time it takes to work through the given material (In C, for example).
Instrument as soundmaker
the use of a musical instrument need not be limited by the boundaries erected by tradition
"playing the piano" versus "the piano as sound source"
Silence
the silence of 4'33" is not silent at all (the audience sounds, external sounds, etc.)
silence is a physically impossible state to achieve
Cage entered a anechoic chamber in 1951 which was as silent as possible then. He heard two sounds - one high - the sound of his nervous system, and one low - the sound of his blood circulation. Thus, what we call silence is in reality non intentional sounds.
Matt / MAK- what can I say guys..... your compliments about my playing are way beyond anything I'd have imagined I'd get.... and from guys that I deeply respect too... thanx guys.. you made my day... -----VBIL----- The proof is in the eating.... "let them eat cake".... http://paulclark.iuma.com
To Joe you're are definitely my guitar idol and it was you who actually got me started. When my brother played 'satch boogie' and 'surfing with the alien' on his stereo I became totally hypnotized and made me appreciate music for more than it really is. I have been playing for about 1 year and 8 months for between 3 to 10 hours a day and I fear that perhaps my approach to music is incorrect, meaning that my daily routine on guitar should change. I receive lessons from an ex-guitarist from Steve Vais band (No fooling Nick .T And by the way i live in Melbourne, Australia) and I do his exercises, learn your songs and improvise. So I would greatly appreciate if you'd be able to either reply or include in your biography how you practiced guitar day in and out until you released 'not of this earth' or became famous. I just don't want to make a mistake. Here is a simple question, Should I go to the United States to do a really good JIT course because I heard that it is the best guitar school in the world and there's crap here. I saw heaps of them in Brazil, oh yeah I enjoyed your little show on Jo Soares it was cool how jamed with 'potatoe man'. Any way good luck in the studio with your next album. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):(

today (1-18) is Ya Yo Gakk's Birthday...thats right...i'm a whole 20, and i feel it...i think there should be a thingy that shows up on the front page or something showing which online members' birthdays it is today & how old by what date they put in their profile...of course the profile should afford this...later...
A note about the forum thing, I'd be all up for different threads for the community here, but I can't help but think this section is ideal for Joe to read all the comments- he doesn't have to go searching through different threads, he just goes down to the last bit of blue, then reads up to the top, says "mmmm. fresh page" and says something. If you could have different threads for the community aspect, but keep the Joe bit the same. Or if we all just found a good website to make our own forum. We could go to guitar.com and take over the "vintage" or "acoustic" forum, noone ever seems to go there. (j/k) I just dont think that coming up with anything new which woulds work as well as this is as easy as it seems.
Hey Zenn La....tnx dooder!! but ...this is not a 'name droppin' show off thingie...for consider what duudle Cage said in the following...."When a composer feels a responsibility to make, rather than accept, he eliminates from the area of possibility all those events that do not suggest this at that point in time vogue for profundity. For he take himself seriously, wishes to be considered great, and he thereby diminishes his love and increases his fear and concern about what people will think. There are many serious problems confronting such an individual. He must do it better, more impressively, more beautifully, etc. than anybody else. And what, precisely, does this, this beautiful profound object, this masterpiece, have to do with Life? It has this to do with Life: that it is separate from it. Now we see it and now we don't. When we see it we feel better, and when we are away from it, we don't feel so good.
John Cage (1952)
For living takes place each instant and that instant is always changing. The wisest thing to do is to open one's ears immediately and hear a sound suddenly before one's thinking has a chance to turn it into something logical, abstract, or symbolical "
John Cage (1952)
Listening to EOC yesterday. I must admit when I first heard Track #1 Devil's Slide come on, I was a little bit frightened. I thought Joe has really done something I wouldn't like. The melody was there but I was still a little scared. Took me 2 listens (back then) to realize it was still Joe putting that together. After a while it sounds almost like any of the albums. I really love EOC. The last few tracks are so layed back and beautifully put together. Slow and Easy, Engines of Creation... man what an album. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanx for asking, ELPP. I hail out of Melbourne, and the fires were near Sydney. I don't think there were many fatalities (perhaps none) since everyone in the danger zone was evacuated in time. As far as the forum thing goes, I joined the Petrucci site and posted a few times, but don't really do it anymore, 'cause I found it too restrictive. I much prefer the format here - like a conversation between friends. That said, there are times and places that censorship is appropriate. While Joe Satriani's fans tend to be a generally friendly and dignified lot, there are other sites sorely need of some kind of restriction. I am also a fan of Ben Folds Five, but found the amount of offensive material on the Ben Folds message board really offputting. Malle - I agree about LISF. There was a distinct lack of variety in the instrumentation, and the backing synthesizers/ rhythm guitars could barely be heard. All the songs, so diverse and varied on the albums, ended up sounding very similar. What would be great is if Satch played something like "The Power Cosmic 2000" in it's full original production, then followed it up by something like "Slow down blues" or "Down, down, down" in their original production styles. Now that would be diversity!
Hey Joe, I just wondered, did you decide on a name for the new album yet? Whatever it is, I'll bet It is gonna be even better than engines of creation(not that engines was bad!!)
DT´s 6 Degrees of Inner... is awesome. It probably doesn´t feature as much riffing as other albums, and James is certainly not singing as high as he used to, but still it´s amazing, engaging. Parts of The Great Debate sound like Tool!! So probably for a 100% diehard fan it can be a little letdown, but it still takes all the nu-metal sh!t to school. ===BTW, last weekend they held tryouts for the Limp Biskit guitarist contest here in El Paso AND in Juarez! Guess I never thought that would be posible, to actually have Mexican citizens trying out for a band that lives and works in the US (a legal work visa can cost upwards of 1000 bucks, so not everyone can afford it). The worst part is that they´ll get a killer guitarist and have him play those moronic Biskit songs and riffs. (rollin´, rollin´, rollin´). Shame. Later.
Joe how is everything going? Cant wait for your new cd. Jee I wish u could get time enough to pop in to the chat more often but I know your really busy. Me and Mat are allways in the chat waiting just to talk to you, it would be great if you could tour Australia some time cause we would love to see you play live. ps. I love your JS's they're sweet.
kuul to see doodies from macedonia! (vlatko stefanovski rox...joe..vlatko is one of the best geetar doodies there...smokin' player!!)...also lots of gypsy musicians there rock out too....anyways..i need to dissappear of the face of planet earth...audio box project is callin' for next 3 months'..so cya later doodies! but before...to complete the threads...school notes..Harmony
Like tonality, harmonic ideas progressed from 19thC outgrowths.
Most 20thC harmony cannot be analyzed accurately with conventional functional harmony.
EXAMPLE : Ligeti, Lontano
Chord Construction
In functional harmony chords were almost always tertiary; chords built by the superimposition of thirds.
New methods of chord construction have appeared this century:
Additional Thirds: ninths, elevenths, etc.
New Intervals : chords built on fourths or fifths
Tone Clusters : successive seconds
Extended Tuning : non equal tempered tuning, glissandi
Heterogeneous Intervals : combination of intervals
Added Tones : adding dissonant notes to otherwise conventional harmony
Mixed Chords : using two conventional chords in combination. Stravinsky's Petrushka chord (C major triad plus F# major triad)
Chord Progression : use of conventional chords with unconventional root progression (much modern "tonal" music uses this, i.e. Glass, Adams).
Treatment of Dissonance
Evolution of harmony is almost a continuous freeing of dissonance.
20thC has almost abandoned former principles of preparation and resolution.
EXAMPLE : Schoenberg, Kammersymphonie I
EXAMPLE : Glass, Violin Concerto
Melody
although less evident than harmony and tonality, melodic changes are evident as well.
Progression
more disjunct (wide skips), angular (skips in opposite direction), and dissonant (progression by dissonant intervals).
Fragmentation
melodic material of only a few pitches
EXAMPLE : Webern Op. 25
Relative Prominence
melodic material is sometimes subordinated to other elements, for example, rhythm (Stravinsky), or timbre (Ligetti).
Rhythm and Meter
innovations in rhythm are important in 20thC
Modern rhythm is more complex, more varied, more elastic, and of greater importance
New Metric Schemes
odd time signatures (5/8, 7/8, 10/8, etc.)
accents and irregular note groupings (3+3+2, 3+3+2+2+2 = Bernstein)
EXAMPLE : Bartok, String Quartet #4
Multimetric
frequent changes in meter
Displaced Barline
using conventional meter, but displaced accenting, note grouping across barline, prolonged syncopation, rhythmic patterns not conforming to time signature
Texture and Sonority
very distinctive feature of 20th C
Texture
classical and romantic periods dominated by homophonic (single melody with subordinate non melodic accompaniment)
modern music is more contrapuntal, heterophonic (several strands of melodic material).
EXAMPLE : Boulez, Rituel
hey joe good luck with the award i have voted for you. i currentley have 3 tab books of yours 1 dvd and 2 vidios and all but 1 album and that is the buitful guitar if you could please let me know where i can get it from . or anyone for that matter it is the only one i need please help me get it ........... dave..........
Good luck joe... you must win this year :) .. hey please tell us (your fans from MACEDONIA) the new album name... and next tour come to Macedonia, do not ignore your biggest fansss.... oooh I have so much to say LoL,,, bye byeee
Just enough time for a quick comment; "Lights In Heaven" is so cool! It takes me back to the old days and makes me think of seeing UFO or Iron Maiden live. Can't explain why, nothing fancy, but it just has that sound. Thanks Joe!!! Aahhhhh, here comes "Raspberry Jam ..." now :) Joe - You are the alien, er man!!!!! How do your fingers not get tangled up, haha?
rojowal, thanks a lot for the reply. i guess i have to hear them for myself to see how good the Marshall sound really is. i need a hell of a lot more power, i tell ya.......
JIMBOJIM: Wow man! Thanks for the feedback! "Last Wish" is very much a work in progress. The track that is posted was a one time improv over a backing track that I cobbled together using ACID MUSIC. Its a very poor recording and because it was an unrehersed improv, there are alot of timing errors in it, but, I'm really glad you took the time to give it a listen. Since that track was recorded, the tune has undergone some major changes in the chord progression and, thanks to imput from our very own Matt King, the melody has been revised to give the tune much deeper emotional content. I'm currently in the progress of trying to re-record it. Thanks again for listening! It really means alot! **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
ummm. THE GILBERT VIDEO. i didn't break it because i couldn't play it i broke it buiy accident... because im stupid and i suck. i dropped it. lol i wouldn't break it because i can't play.
Back from Day 1 of COE recording sessions...wow?! It was the funnest/most hectic experience of my life! Got a nice cut of "A Walk Amongst the Stars" in process...man!! This is fun :)
Ya Yo Gakk - Would that be the same Rattlesnake Shake originally done by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac? "Well, if you wanna rock...I could be your rocking horse. And if you wanna roll, I could roll you right out the door. We'll shake the world..." and so on? Awesome song...I love Aerosmith's version of it. ...Austin...
MATT, MAK - Where have you heard Paul play? Live near you? BTW MATT - I have some solo vids here on my comp. Much better than he ones you have seen. Better quality and better played. For anyone who wants them: ICQ#: 73569667
....michelle rox!! Rob-thx dude,ovation1...dunno..vai..or satriani..since this is satch website..i say vai..but i was on vai web..say satch..;) lol...thread no.3...school notes...Overview of 20th C Stylistic Aspects
Tonality
One of the most significant aspects of modern music concerns new concepts of tonality. At no time in history of music have these concepts changed so radically.
Three of the most significant examples from this century include:
Chromaticism
By the middle of 19thC, three practices had become established, and contributed to an increasingly flexible concept of tonality:
more remotely related key centers within a composition
the use of chromatic harmony which tends to unsettle the feeling of a fixed key
prolonged modulations during which the key center and tonal direction are temporarily obscured.
EXAMPLE : Schoenberg, Verklarete Nacht
Chromaticism continued into the 20thC, often in reaction to newer methods of pitch organization.
Atonality
the negation of tonality.
The relationship of individual pitches to one another overrode their relationship to a single unifying pitch.
EXAMPLE: Webern Op.5, String Quartet
Serialism
The ordering amd equality of all 12 pitches so as to avoid any sense of hierarchy, or tonicism, of any given pitch
EXAMPLE: Boulez, Le Marteau sans Maitre
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Pitch in Tonal and Nontonal Music
Tonality in 20thC Music
Before this century, the term "music" referred to functional tonal music. All music, both popular , folk, and concert music, was composed in this manner.
Even today, most music is tonal ; popular music (rock, jazz, country), background (movie music, muzak), commercial (advertisements) is tonal. Even most concert music performed is tonal - symphonies, operas, chamber music are from previous centuries.
Against this background, composers in this century are writing music that is nontonal.
Similarities and Differences
Because we are so used to hearing and dealing with tonal music, it is easiest to look at the differences and commonalities between tonal music and twentieth century music.
"Tonality is more than a way of organizing melody and harmony that projects a single central tone, and more than a relationship among harmonies or a particular way of handling voice leading.
Tonality affects just about every aspect of music, including phrasing, form, the interaction of melody and harmony, texture, orchestration, dynamics, articulation, the structuring of time (rhythm, meter, and the sense of continuity and motion) - even the way we name pitches and intervals.
EXAMPLE : BEETHOVEN Symphony #3 First Movement
If a piece is not tonal, then many of these musical aspects take on new characteristics." Lester, p. 2

Best Of Luck to you, Joe....!!! hope you win on your award's~~Laterzz~jsw webmaster
Lesson to everybody, Do not leave your LISF DVD in the player so your kids
can take it out and toss it on the coffie table, Now it screws up right at
the start of the extremist, Im bummed, but now i know, Think i'll go buy
another one..........Later
Well, I could come back with a simple 3-word response (So is...), but I'll restrain myself. Like I give a sh*t about being attractive...already screwed out of that category by genetics. I would venture to say that most people who talk to me intelligently don't find me arrogant. However, when someone says, "Moderators? ha! I almost fell off my chair laughing at that one," then proceeds to describe me as "arrogant," I perceive that to be a pretty hypocritical statement. Actually, now that I think of it, these posts by VBIL, WW3, the Mailman, AVARICE, and the responses they get, are all too damn funny to moderate.
Still, working away here, its great to chat to some odf u in the chat room, pop in and say hello cos I'll be around for the next week or so. Back to revision now. Anyone clued up on the inner workings of their renal system? No... ahh.. well guess I'll just have to do it myself then. Just as an aside, some people are asking where they can get "talk to me" and "Lum Lum" from. Well, go check out www.audiogalaxy.com cos u can find anything there. Whats ur take on the whole Napster/music sharing debate Joe? The music industry reckons that cd sales are dropping. I for one download loads of tunes but I still buy the cd's I wanna here. Although, I doubt thats the case with some people... C yah all around. S'later, Phatman
Hey JOE! Thanx for the blue. Can't wait for the new album!... hmmmm The 8 Steps...-CJ
Date: Thu Jan 17 11:34 Ga6o (Gabriel)<ga6o@hotmail.com>:
I want to be fair whit our great Webmaster Lui. And whit Satch. In the Petrucci forum its kinda strange to see that John writes a comment, and here, almost every week we have Satch himself whit that wonderfull "BLUE" color. That means a lot!! Cause you show us that you care Satch. But some changes would be a good thing for everybody. We are in the 2001!!! So, change its a positive thing...dont be scare to the changes...Satch change whit EOC and we all love the concept. Lets give change a chance!!
Hi there Joe ‘n all!
I’m really exited about this new more rock-oriented album (I don’t mean that the last album wasn’t any good though, pity that we barely could hear anything from those synthesizers on “Live In San Francisco”, or the rhythm guitars for that matter).
Hope to hear some heavy drumming like on “Crystal Planet”, the snare ‘n kick sounded beautiful, not like on “Live…” where you barely could hear the kick-drum and the snare sounded more like a hard pillow or something like that…
I just wanna say one more thing, this talk about different styles and shiit, just mix ‘em all together.
Stay proggy man…
PS. I didn't now that this web had to censor WORDS, I could've accepted if they censor some nasty comments on ones person...
PROG - I have read your posts for a long time and I heard about what had happened to you. I just wanted to say that it is good to see you posting again. I'm glad you are recovering fully. I'm gonna go check out your site now. Ronnie
Here's another vote for a new format AND guitar clinic. JOE, how 'bout asking Ibanez to reissue the JS6000, I think there's still a market for it.
DS-1 OWNERS go to harmonycentral discussion forums for effects and do a search for DS-1 mods. There's a cheap easy one there that makes a big difference!
Well a very special hello to you too Eric. Glad to be back with you in San Francisco! Missed yall while in the deep south for a few days.... had a great time visiting family and friends and going to Mardi Gras parades on Dauphin Island but I am happy to be back in sunny Ca. I had no computer to keep up with my cyber buddies so it has been a long few days (hey Joan!! Ill write ya back soon:)). The satch guys are creating some awesome tunes that ROCK TO THE BONE!!! They really work well with each other and truly love what they are doing. So get ready yall for the next blast of stunning music as they tighten up the album for release. It is a great one. I promise.:)
Get a loaf.... what can I say the marshall sound kicks ass. I wish I were more knowledgable about tubes, capacitors and such but at this time I am not. You aint joken when you say they are spendy. I got mine used for ~$500 and a JCM900 1960A cab to go along with it and it is worth EVERY penny paid. Luckily I found a cool guitar store that takes trades. Boogie Man rocks! Anyway enough of that BS. Yes, I think if you are going to mic your stuff and play med to small clubs 100 watts is a bit much and I think 50 watts would suit the situation much better. But what the hell do I know, I have only been playing live for a few years. I use some Dano stomp boxes with the amp, I have a Fab Tone (distortion) Cool Cat (Chorus) and a Echo (delay) and also use a Crybaby 535 Wah Pedal. Ya I got all the toys, now I just need to get great like Clarky and Matt King, oh ya and that Joe guy too. You guys are really good, Matt I really like your stuff. I messed around with different amps and effects pedals and found the Marshall had the best all around sound. The clean is sweet and the distortion is that 80s rich, rocken, kick ass sound. Crank up the gain and go mess yourself! Nothing like a great amp with a few simple stomp boxes. Yet the main reason I chose the Marshall is because Joe plays one (a different one) and I have been striving to get his tone/sound and the best place to start was with the amp, the guitar came later. I paid way to much for a JS1000 but I love it. Hey Joe anytime you want to sell chrome boy... Ha ha, ya right. I really just lucked out getting a JCM800, it was all that was available that I could afford at the time. As fate would have it I ended up with a jem. Bout time I lucked out. I have also been messing around with some of the Line6 stuff, it is pretty cool also. The new Vetta amp is quite tempting but I think I will hang on to the Marshall for now. So long story even longer, if you like that killer warm tube amp sound the Marshall is an excellent way to go, good luck and I hope all my ramblings helped.=======Vaiolent off Bender===== a class starting at the beginning is a sweet idea, seriously... hope everyone chimes in and makes us all better gitter players. NO FREAKING MONITORING!!! If you don't like it, don't read it!! Song of the day = Devil's Slide. Ta ta for now folks.
Ricky Garcia: I sent off that cd to you. Hope I labeled it right. How was your vacation? Matt: It's official, Buzzart records registered our copyright!
As you can see, I sent off a copy of my cd to Ricky. Hope he isn't board with it too fast. Bavorak: Hold the pick choking down so that you can get harmonics with your thumb. VH holds his with 2nd & thumb so'os he can use his fore finger to do harmonics. Hold your pick loose to do rhythm....floppy sound. Experiment on your own as well...who knows...maybe you will come up with a new way all your own!!! Gary: How's that sax stuff doing? I may have a new disk for you soon, depending on my school schedule. Joe: I finally got my student to use heavy picks...and it helped his pick attack and presence! Good morn...all in satch land. Found some great new hot pickups! EMGHZ's!!!!KTF Randell
Develop your motor skills....Repetition, Repetition, Repetition!!....I noticed someone said they broke their Gilbert Video 'cause they think they suck....No,
No, No, my friend....Your finger's do not know where they are going is all....
Try to memorize the song/riff in your head before playing it, and then try to play it sooo slow that there is no possibility of making a mistake :)........
Speaking of Paul, here's a great song of the day off "King of Clubs": "The Jam",
A 20 minute trade off solo shred manifesto with Bruce Bouillet :)....BTW....Did
anyone read the news?? Joe's up for the California Music Award nominee (used to
be the old Bammy Award)!!....Click on the link in the news section and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE for Mr. JOE SATRIANI!!....Also add him in "Artist of the year" :)....
Peace all, Mike
Hey people, hows tricks, morning Mr Satriani.... Was just thinking what songs has Joe covered (the G3 ones don't count) I think it would be awesum. Maybe a cheeky cover tucked in at the end of an album, or if anyone has any mp3's etc. How 'bout Joe doin "Sweet Child O' Mine" nice.... What do people think? Anyhoo, back to revision. S'later Phatman
Amazing kind of friendship: after all I heard my idea was to lick someones shoulders and see what the reaction was...ride my car I tell you where, don't tell them - my people in au au (GR). Follow the white rabbit New american young who loves Elvis sequellers. My dog is yours, Texan. My team: DF power, me, blondie1, germanie1, frenchie1, the maddests, my spy, my pol termometer, PFers silence not to die afraid, two rio blonds, one deadly slave, one urologist (no more conception), one philosopher and letter reader, one biologist = drugs to kill, you wouldn't believe Jonny and the old student who lied to US about my friendship while they interviewed me (to show ignorance is better than to admit revenge one day...). FORGIVE your man "Can't get enough of it, like your harp!"
Sergio Ramos Alves intends to deny the boat case and travel to see the people who invite him to join a promenade with his old guitars now in allienation state of feelings. Good death mr Toquinho (no name?!) for me is just another Giannini pagan god! Os reixe! (PMs also help the man, believe me)
hey michelle...luv what ya said bout censors...err..moderators.myself..i post 'regularly' on *MANY* different boards, and this board is VERY kuul. like u, i like reading doods from 'outside'...(hello me)..aksin' satch to play...for me...that's a very kuul thingie to see!!!! go satch! go duuds who aks satch to play! ..hey lydianR...duude the post can only accept 3000 characters..so can't post everything in the post...so hope that explains. as far as roman numerals, you even said they were used, and so they were. i didn't say anything else..as far as i know. ...anyways...thread #2 here...oh yea...OVATION, rockit baby, rockit!!!! fingerboard charts...yeah baby yeah! ;)
...regarding 'new' music analysis...cuz..satch plays new music! ;) ...school notes now...
Musical styles changed very quickly in 20thC; as a result, many different analysis techniques are required.
For the first time in history, there was no paradigm governing music - with the death of a common language (functional harmony), came a search for logic and reason behind music.
Any piece of music longer than a few bars requires logical organization.
Functional harmony provided that on a microlevel (the choice of available pitches in a given harmony) to a macro level (the tonality of a movement, such as sonata form, was based upon the same rules of acceptable voice leading).
We will review this when we look at a Mozart Sonata for Piano.
Problems in Analyzing 20thC Music
Historical Perspective
As human events recede in time, we gain historical perspective, and are able to generalize about trends, styles, forms, and techniques of music in past eras.
But we are too close to the music of the twentieth century, at least the last fifty years, to gain such perspective.
The most we can do is observe phenomena taking place; we cannot with certainty evaluate them in terms of ultimate significance.
In the ever changing scene, a trend which seems significant today may later prove to be of little consequence.
Diversity of Development
Many, many developments in 20th C, impossible to attain an overall picture
Individuality is valued above all else -
"the roster of important composers who have developed distinctive styles and techniques, more or less independently of major trends, is impressive"
These disparate trends do not present themselves in neat chronological order; instead, they overlap in time and exert varying degrees of influence on the stream of music.
Hi all. I think a new board would be cool...but I don't think we need monitors just yet. If we had a new board sorted by topic it would be easier for us to ignore the messages we don't like. It's all up to Jon Luini though... ===== Enigmatic Machine - Yeah, NSync were going to be in Star Wars Episode 2. I heard their scene got removed, though, because a lot of fans complained. Good. ;-) ...Austin...
Kuul AL! Steve Rocks!!....Glad you had a great time, that sound's like an awesome show....I hope they tour Overseas!!....bavorak: Between my right hand index finger and thumb, LOL!....Hey Vaiolent duuder/lydianR, WOW, digging deep! LOL, How about posting a fingerboard chart on intervals here so we can see where they are on the fretboard :)...."When intervals are inverted their original quality of either consonance or dissonance may change. This is because the register of the two notes, and the spacing between them, has been altered. The degree of change depends on the interval in question"...Enough 'o' dat!......ELPP: You got it dude! Kuul, I hope it will give your shrine a nice
"Oriental look", LOL ;)......Hey jblaze1/John! Haven't received it in the mail
yet, will check again tomm. after work....Can't wait :)........................
MR. JOE SATRIANI: (And all the Satch fan's out there) I voted for JOE as the
"Best Guitarist" AND "Artist of the Year" from the "New's" section of this site....Go there NOW and vote for JOE!....There is a link that will take you there :)....Peace all, Mike
Where did you guys get the Six degrees of Inner Turbulance. I thought it wasn't out till the end of this month?
Date: Wed Jan 16 23:12 MegaBoyd (Boyd)<megaboyd@hotmail.com>:
AL Surfer was right.The show was simply amazing. Mak Yeah Jerry Goodman was there shreding it up. It was cool to see Steve play air bass, violin,keys,& Drums when his band mates were going off!! They all ripped!! Dave Larue gave me a pic. Steve was gonna give one to me & my Bro but he ran out when he got to our side of the stage.It ws funny, He said sorry guys I ran out but you can touch my guitar. SWEET, not to many people can say they fondled Steve Morse's guitar. One of the highlights of the night was watching Steve playing pinky swells!! Dave Larue was so tight. every note was so precise & clean. I got alot of inspiraton from him last night. Only I wish I got to see him utilize the whammy bar on his bass more. I haven't really seen him use it. This is a show you have to see. I can't wait till next time. It was also cool to hook up with Al Surfer & his friend for the gig. cool guys. I even found a cool bass at the guitar center that I am gonna go pick up on saturday. can't wait. I also want to welcome back PROG X good to hear from ya man. Steve Morse for G3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JS Clone 2...I never learned piano the conventional way, with a book in my face. I've always preferred to make my own music. So as to the question of what I play...I usually put my ahnds on the keyboard and go wherever my wayward fingers take me! :) That's how I came up with the piano track for my song "As I Watch The Clouds Rush By", downloadable from my site at http://www.mp3.com/ProgX. I used that as the basic background and wrote the entire first half of the song around it. Be sure to check it out! :) Kudos!

Hey Mike, i think that Dream Theater 6DOIT its not bad at all, but as a Dream Head im a little disapointed whit the album... In the Glass Prission they have a stup1d riff "a la Metallica" whit that horrible Wha...but the picking before that part its ...WOW!! im scared of Petrucci.....MISUNDERSTOOD its a piece of music, a very good song whit grat lyrics...the other songs from disc 1 didnt like ma at all...6DOIT completly ROCKS!! and if you are a FFantasy lover your gonna love it even more....when you hear it your gonna know what im talking about..................Anyway, those talks about a NEW FORUM its a great idea. You know guys i love Satch, and hes my #1 guitar superhero and he always will be!!!! But now i live on the Petrucci.com place because its very interesting most of the time. The people its so nice there. Its true, sometimes they bash some artists but whit a good reason most of the time. Everybody seems to be peacefull and if someone TRY to MESS THE PLACE, mr. Paul Warren and YtseJuan(webmasters) remove those "Trolls" in no time. Ofenses are not allowed there...This place (www.satriani.com) was once like that. I remember the thing whit "WOLFIE" and "ICEMAN" and those guys...they were erased from here...Those times were peacefull and happy for the SATCH family. What hapend to those times? Sometimes we even call ourselves like the "SATCH FAMILY"...and you know what?, i miss it and i want that feeling back, because this is my home too!!! Gabe.
MICHELLE - Actually, if you had taken the time to go to www.petrucciforum.com and www.mikeportnoy.com/forum, you would have seen that it works quite well. But, since you didn't and formed an opinion anyway... No one f*cking deletes people's opinions, assuming they're respectful. However, when things escalate into a flamewar, or worthless topics are formed (in which people up the number of their posts), the topic is locked. There are very few people from this site that post in the Petrucci or Portnoy forum, so most of you have no idea what I'm talking about. Those who do (GA60, Pete M., John Lifeson, and a few others I know I'm missing) realize how well the system works. Particularly on the Portnoy Forum, if you write "Mike, please respond" in the title, he will respond. There are 5 moderators/admins in the Portnoy Forum, one of which is the webmaster. In the Petrucci Forum, Paul Warren and YtseJuan moderate. Only Warren admins the site. Believe it or not, most of these Webmasters have plenty of other work to do and can't devote all their time to eliminating disputes/meaningless posts. Threads can go to hell in a matter of minutes. One more novel idea to add: If you're doing a bad job as a moderator the webmaster will find someone else. It's not a Supreme Court appointment...it's a small thing to do to try and help someone out. It's not about censorship, it's about creating a smooth and interesting messageboard. MUD GRUNT - I have most of the CD on MP3 now...as Portnoy said, "It f*cking rocks balls!!" :-)
Speaking of Portnoy/Petrucci forums, has anyone else heard the new Dream Theater album? In my opinion it is their best yet. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance will have to hold me over until Joe gets his next one out. Later all.
hey rojowal!!!!!! i am looking at JCM 800's. they are too much for me, i am hoping that by the time i am good enough to own one, i will have enough money to own one, heh heh.... can you tell me about the JCM 800 a little bit? does it really crunch? i want this new amp to REALLY ROCK. i hear all the big guys use it because it has the biggest transistors, and the Marshall tone really kills. how would you describe the amp? i have never played through one, but i only hear good things about them.... so, you think 50 watts would be best?
Moderators? ha! I almost fell off my chair laughing at that one. While your buzy eliminating anything YOU find offensive, who will be watching YOU? Bad idea bro. Moderate yourself and skip over the stuff you don't want to read...like this post :) Luini's doing just fine. If something on this page is that offensive, send a note to Jon and let him be the judge. I like Ya Yo's idea of different boards for different things. Encycmet.com has the same thing. That way if you want tech stuff, band member talk, or just general info, ect. you go to a specific forum. That would be cool here. Everybody gets tired of seeing "come to Brazil" 100 times, but think how important that message is to the desperate person trying to get Joe's attention. We all want him to play for us, but we're the lucky ones who have him on our home turf. I'm not trying to start a huge arguement over this subject, but you stated your opinion, so I'm stating mine. Luini should be the only one to bring down the hatchet.
Hey HIGAIN: Did the fires get anywhere near u? That looked really bad, so ´here´s hoping u stayed out of harm´s way==========AL SURFER: The Dregs are cool. Kinda folky, but good. Next time u see Dave ask him why didn´t Petrucci come out for autographs last year at the... oh wait. Never mind :) ======Well, the car was giving me problems since Friday morning, but fortunately it waited until Saturday, after leaving it with the mechanic, to die completely. Not even he could get it to start!! 100 bucks later it´s running again like crazy (VW GTI 16V. Sweet). Obviously, this means I can´t buy any new Simpsons stuff for 2 weeks now. Oh well. OVATION1´s shipment should keep me happy!! (BTW dude, on top of the $ I´ll throw in a local souvenir. So don´t be surprised if u receive a mid-sized package in the mail)===== Hey YA-YO, have u seen Eric Johnson´s webcast archive on www.hob.com? There´s not a bad song in it, and the sound quality is amazing. The next best thing to being there live.======RUBESTER: Que paso siempre con lo de los trailers? O ya cambiaste de planes? Chones for G3!!!!! MEX-PEAT!! HI JOE! 8 STEPS!! WE WANT SAMPLES!!! PLEASE!!!! Later
Well, that was a rightly humbling experience! I WAS getting natural minor mixed up with harmonic minor! Shame on me... I guess I have a long way to go. It's nice to get a helping hand from you guys, though. I've just been out back gardening, so my song of the day is Guns n' Roses "Welcome to the jungle".
VAIOLENT OFFBENDER,You are obviously quite knowledgable when it comes to theory,but there are a few fundamentals that you forgot to mention(sorry to be an ass^_^).No.1-from the 16th-19th century,the various degrees of the diatonic scale where NOT in fact known as I,II,III,IV,etc,but where infact known as follows:1st degree=Tonic,2nd degree=supertonic,3rd degree=mediant,4th degree=subdominant,5th=submediant,6th degree=subdominant,7th degree=leading note.---The roman numerals I,II,III,IV,etc that you refer to where infact used(and still are in alot of scores)to signify harmonization within a scale,or,to put it another way,CHORDS!--I=major triad with tonic as root,II=Minor triad with supertonic as root,III=Minor triad with mediant as root,IV=Major triad with subdominant as root,V=Major triad with dominant as root(this note is often altered greatly in jazz to give a great degree of personalization and colouring in a piece),VI=Minor triad(relative minor)with submediant as tonic,VII=Diminished triad with leading note as root.--------------------------------Also F.Y.I the 12 chromatic notes of the western musical system ,and the 7 diatonic notes of the major scale where both given there numbers due to the allignment of planets.These notes,when played,where ment to have an effect on the harmony of the universe/heavens/whatever!-------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------BTW,does anyone know STEVE VAI'S BOSS DS-1 settings,or JOE's BOSS chorus settings?Cheers!^_^ Also,great Idea about the message board guys,there's to much junk traffic!
YAYO is right. We need a messageboard like www.petrucciforum.com or www.mikeportnoy.com/forum. Just get a couple of us plus the webmaster to moderate it. I know I'd do it for free. Everything would be much more organized...Joe could post in a thread topic he finds interesting, rather than wade through comments like, "how do you hold the pick," repeated 75 times in capital letters. With moderators, we could just delete the entire thread if someone did that.
Hey guys havn't posted in a long time been practicing off my gilbert video but i broke it because i suck. (vai's brother in law no comments please) I CAn'T WAIT FOR JOE'S CD!! mmmmm anyways anybody here getting to see the superhero tour? if so tell me how it works out go to www.racerxband.com if u wanna see if they are coming... can u deny gilbert?!
hey ovation1,clarky,y'all....let's start a theory thread duuudes.....let's start from scratch....
..stuff from school notes...
Scales
Most music is made up of tones - sounds that have specific frequencies or pitch
The pitches used in Western music have become standardized over the centuries into a family known as the chromatic scale
Since the middle of the 18th century, the standard chromatic scale has been the tempered scale of 12 tones. Tempered means that successive tones in the scale differ in frequency by a fixed ratio (the twelfth root of 2).
In western notation, the tempered scale is divided into octave groupings whose pitches are designated by ordinary letter names A-G.
In the tempered system, there is no aural difference between F# and Gb - the difference in notation was developed to meet the needs of tonal music, or the music from the 16th to late 19th centuries.
This period is also known as the Common Practice Period, or the period that exclusively used Functional Harmony.
Tonal music is based on, but not restricted to, the scale of seven pitches called the diatonic scale. The seven pitches are called degrees of the scale, and are customarily numbered with roman numerals I through VII, regardless of key.
The type of scale is determined by the distribution of half-tone and whole-tone steps above the first degree.
Intervals
The term interval refers to the scalar difference between two tones, measured by their difference in pitch
The specific name of the interval (the kind of 3rd, 4th, 5th) is derived from its relationship to the major scale. Taking the lower of the two notes as the root of the scale, if the upper note coincides with a note of the scale, the interval is major (except octaves, fourths, fifths, and unisons, which are perfect).
· a major interval made smaller becomes minor
· a minor interval made larger becomes major
· a major interval made larger becomes augmented
· a minor (or perfect) interval made smaller becomes diminished
Compound intervals (intervals over an octave): subtract the octave to get the actual interval. Example: Major 10th is a major 3rd
A consonant interval is one which sound stable and complete, whereas a dissonant interval is restless and needs resolution to a consonant interval (These qualities are open to subjective, personal, and evolutionary interpretation)
Consonant: perfect intervals, major and minor thirds and sixths
Dissonant: augmented and diminished intervals, major and minor seconds and sevenths
JOE, I just missed ya the other night in the chat. darn!! oh well maybe I'll see ya next time, wish you'd come in more. by the way, What is the new album gonna be called?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prog X - 14 years!!!!!! Darn, thought I had someone beat. Well, I do have people beat, but there's always someone out there who's better. So, what kind stuff do you play on piano? I love to play Bach, Beethoven, Chopin. I'm playing Chopin's Nocturne in Eb right now. It's amazing, I want to learn Nocturne in Db but it's pretty hard, I would most likely learn it when I make it to the next grade. Yeah so what kinda stuff do you play?
Ibanez4player, I have a JCM800 100 watt duel channel. I like it. Obviously depends on what you want to do to make a good decision. I play clubs/small venues and the 100 watts is too much, you might want to go 50 watts instead. Good luck. Hey Clarky, thanks for all the info, I am slightly cornfused but you have shredded some light on a lot of questions I have had recently. Peace! Joe, looking forward to the CD, can't wait for it and the tour!!!! Song of the day... Couldn't Stand the Weather SRV. Winter sucks!!!
PROG X: Sweet dude! I'm checking out those guys right now! Guitarboy is awesome! Really diggin' it. Thanks for the tip. **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]

WEBMASTER LUINI - i really think this site needs a message board dude, with different forums....like one for general stuff, one for joe's music, one for polls, one for guitar talk/questions, music theory/lesson area, a "joe speaks" forum for joe to post news/whats up, a "webmaster/wite news" area for the webmaster to post updates or coming site changes, i dunno...just seems like it would be better organized and look cooler.....something in the flavor of the megadeth board perhaps.....might take a while to get it off the ground but i think everyone would like it...peace.
AL SURFER - Glad you enjoyed it man! Did they have Jerry Goodman shredding on electric violin as well? If so, that guy is insane! I've seen some amazing shows up here in Boston: John Scofield, Blue Man Group, Weezer (well, not really "amazing," but kind of cool)...However, the Jon Finn/Dixie Dregs gig was by far my favorite. MATT - Yeah man, Clarky is unbelievable! :-)
hey Clarky...dude..what's shakin'....anyways...i was skimmin' through some books on the market on harmony....and boy....dangerous....how many people just write 'unsupported' stuff.....so to continue our discussion on the subject of theory....here is a very very very kuuul book ....Walter Piston "Harmony". at this point it has 'several' editions and it is a RELIAABLE ACADEMIC source....but still it is kuul to have 'reservations'...and not take it in TOTALITY....cuz still few stuff can be messed up. ....as bluuz doods say...'less is more'....but this book could be a decent START to explore some territory. ...on the other hand...stuff at the market....is like comedy stuff...;)...maybe they do it on purpose just to get laughs and kicks......but no this man...da man PISTON. ...his stuff is kuuul....
Surfer...Sounds like an awsome show. Steve Morse has always been my top 4 favorite players, I listen to his Steve Morse band stuff all the time, Hes
a most exellent player.......VBIL, lesson one, Nobody gives a flyin hoot about
absolutley anything you have to babble about..........Joe Rules..later
Joe, the new album name could be something connected with war & peace, why not :)))))) p.s. I want some big resolution photos on your webpage, I'll print in a big format and I'll place them in a frame and they will be always on my wall hahahaha :))))) my english is haos very bad :))
Date: Wed Jan 16 12:00 MegaBoyd (Boyd)<megaboyd@hotmail.com>:
hey joe just a quick question if you could aunser me or anyone, how much would it cost me about? to set up my own recording studio. and what sort of stuff would i be best getting. ta Dave....
Well, no appearance by the Satchmeister, but I dreamed that up all by myself, lol! ....... Hooked up with Megaboyd, his brother, and two of their friends at the gig. Cool guys, and it was great to be in the front with some other Joe freaks enjoying another outstanding guitarist! Anyways, here goes; HOLY CRAP, OH MY GOD!!!! Steve Morse and the Dregg's are simply amazing! The word that we kept using during and after the show is "tight". All 5 of them play off of each other so well without skipping a beat! Absolutely no ego's in that band and each one of them is incredible at their instrument! The first drum solo that just blew me away in a long time (sorry Jeff :)). Whenever 1 of them was on a little run, the other band members would kick back and watch like the rest of us "less talented folk", haha! Totally loose atmosphere, they were all joking around and smiling. It was infectious. This show is near the top of my list for sure! I will never miss these guys again! Steve thanked everyone for keeping live music alive by coming out to the show, which was cool. Check them out if they are headed your way. Don't miss this show! If you live near Stanford, go tonight! Amazing!!! Thanks again Mak for the heads up on the tour! We talked with Dave Larue (who played an amazing 5 string bass!) and he said he had just finished up recording with John and it went killer. They (him & John) will be touring later this year after Dream Theater wraps up their tour. On the way home I realized that I forgot to ask him if he's heard anything on the Mexico G3 dates. Sorry Mexico Satchaholics :). He probably wouldn't have told me anyway, lol.
Fair enough Clarky, maybe in the future. Out of interest does anyone here play chess? I used to be a bit of a chess wiz. I've since given up, but I got very falsely rated at 213 which is ridiculously high, because i only played one rated game and beat someone of 180. I should only ever have been about 130. I also beat Fritz 5 once, on a high difficulty setting (the same program that beat Kasparov). However that was on a better computer. I'm no good now. My, my this is OT. Anyone on MSN Messenger here- it would be good to chat to more Satch fans. The above email address works for me if yyou're interested.
Hey everyone!I just wanted to say that,thanks to Clarky's music lessons here,I have no need to go to music school now.He has,in a way,saved me a fortune in tuition,books & travel.Clarky has been passing a wealth of information here at T2J!Every time he post's theory,I print it.I have enough for a novel now..lol..A big thanx to Clarky!2 thumbs up!!!VBIL:Watch out for Clarky!He is a force not to be messed with.!?He comes here in peace & He may leave you in shreds! Ha,Ha:)L8ter Dudedooders!
Satch: Phil Hilborne of Guitar Techniques, tells a reader that you always warm up prior to gigs by immersing your hands and arms(up to your elbows!) in warm water. It's on page 14 in the December 2001 edition. Is there any truth to this? Don't YOU warm up by playing scales slowly and gradually picking up speed?
ELPP: What's up? MEX-PEAT!! : )
Good morning, everyone... I was messing around with my little brother's guitar the other day and figured out how to play most of Speed Of Light. I play bass, and I've only been playing for a little more than 2 years. So if I can figure out Speed Of Light on guitar in a day, I'm sure some of you guys can figure it out in 10 minutes. Give it a shot, it sounds cool and is fun to play (I guess all of Satch's music fun to play, though). ===== Hehehe...Adverse got a word to slip by the T2J censors...I wonder how that happened. Maybe because it wasn't slang. I don't know. Does anyone else still read his rambling posts all the time, or am I the only one? ===== Phatman - Look in the FAQ, Joe mentions what kind of sunglasses he wears. ...Austin...
wha's up Joe? long time no see........We need a show right here in Merrillville,INDIANA.Radison Star Theatre of Course. Great acoustics and medium sized. Hope to see you there soon in 2002. Mark:):} P.S.(Song of the day,Crystal Planet,Awesome on DVD)
How come we don't here anything from Eric, Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....... or Jeff. What I would give for my own colour of font :-) Hows everybody, got my some exams next week, but the tunes get me through them "The Extremist" Man what a buzz. Oh.. one qusetion I've got three channels on my amp (clean, rhythm and lead) if I put a gain stompbox infront of it (eg Boss DS-1) which channel should it be payed through? The clean to get its true sound or do I pile the gain on top of more gain through another channel?? PSWhere does Joe get his sunnies..... S'later Phatman
Way to get the point across there fjuuzion!....Nice take on the trial's and tribulation's of making it in the Biz....Clarky: Head's or Tail's??....Hmmmm.
Sound's like a good name for a song, LOL!....Right-on Michelle!!....I could only imagine what kind of AWESOME stuff would be happening if JEFF was wailing a Double Bass Drum kit and JOE tweekin' the 7 string right~left, left~right, LOL!! :)......Rock-On Kirk!!....You got my oldest daughter beat....She's been playing piano for 9 year's!....She's only 15 though :)....She's can tear it up too, LOL!....Peace all, Mike
hey there just a happy new year to everybody
hoping some new european dates for this year or the next!
lydian is still my favorite mode cuz major n futuristic: diminished
5th !yep!
Higain- 'Natural major'... This don't exist.. I've re-read my post and can't see where I said it. Anyhow.. the correct term is Diatonic Major and this is the mother of all 7 note scales... everything from there on is either derived from, or is a 'modification' of this scale [and this pans out into a whole world of new stuff]. In modal terms, the Diatonic Major is the Ionian mode and the Natural Minor is the Aeolian mode [and is calculated from the 6th note of the diatonic major]. Example: C major 1=C, 2=D, 3=E, 4=F, 5=G, 6=A, 7=B. Note 6=A so starting from the A you can find the notes that make 'A Natural Minor', also known as 'A Relative minor' [also known as 'A Aeolian' mode]. Therefore, 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, and so on. The determining factor as to a scale / mode being major or minor is the interval [distance] between the 1st note [the tonic] and the 3rd note [the mediant]. If the 3rd note is 1 and 1/2 tones [3 frets] above the tonic, the scale will be some kind of minor scale. If the 3rd note is 2 tones [4 frets] above the tonic, the scale will be some kind of major. All of the remaining notes [2, 4, 5, 6, 7] produce different tonal 'colouration' as their distances from the tonic vary. Try note to get too, hung up on the theory as it can get a little confusing. At the end of the day it is the playing that counts so that is were 80% of all effort should be directed.. If you want further clarification [to set things right in your own mind], I've writen a few little things that describe intervals, chords and scales that I use as teaching aids [for my own little stable of shredders]. If you want a copy let me know.. no problem [and it's not rocket science]... Dood Dooder, I know what you mean about stuff getting mixed up and staying that way... Fender's Tremolo arm and suspended chords are great examples.. Some errors just get so well known and worse, so well used that they become a messed up 'standard'.... .. All the TTJ posse.. this is funny. It seems that there is more interest in hearing me play than VBIL alone... Although I think that VBIL just wants to see how big my d1ck is / is not]...lol.. So, do I deprive everyone else of the right to see me take a p1ss just to spite VBIL? Or do I let everyone else take a look and VBIL get's his way.... rocks and hard places... VBIL- if nothing else you are very good at backing folks into corners... for that I tip my hat sir... I figure that you are a b1tch of a chess player too... ==========Jazztel for 3G
The most serious things: (a) Mary asked me in the name of God not to be in the United States of America. (b) My talk to Britain was done at night in strange garment with Ray-ban unmasked. (c) My family is two = me and my horse (leather daughter). I hate my friends GS-blond and Alah because they had love with my mom punkie a long time ago and yet don't stop sucking her vagina. Forget me "you seduced her...". Eagle, that blond coelhinha from playboy brasil nowadays is very fan of you, get her please (tell not to forget my wife = shee). I hate that little witch from the Dubledom film - if I catch her with the magic stick doing levitosa of the rocks I chop her head off (the rest is light ok?)
Just wanted to send a shoutout to everyone on the board here and let them know that my E-mail address has changed. I can now be reached for comment at prog_x2001@yahoo.com so send all correspondence there. ThanX! :) *** Stupidmarmoset23...So Joe was nominated for a Grammy, huh? Well, I guess time will tell if he finally wins the award he certainly deserves for his hard work after ten times or if the record company wh0res are going to continue to be record company wh0res. The latter will probably happen, of course...just to p1ss us all off once again. If Joe does win the award, the first people he should get up and thank should be Metallica...for not putting out an album this year. DAY-UMMM!!! That would be sweet! :) *** KenCampbell...there's a lot of talent on MP3.com! :) Don't forget the likes of Rick Richards, Guitarboy, Tommy And The Stompers, Prog X, Ovall, Waldi, Jaye Foucher, Programme D'experience, Liam Hamer, Ron Imhoff (Progressive Elements), and of course, the almighty Ozric Tentacles! *** JS Clone 2...HA!!! Got you beat! :) Been playing piano and keyboards for 14 years!! :) Do I hear 15, anyone? 15?? Going once, going twice... :) *** Kudos!
Clarky- I believe your story, and everything you've said too about guitar playing- From what I've heard, you seem *pretty* good. I'd just really like to hear some of your stuff- I always listen to people who post stuff here, from Avarice to Matt King and back via Pete Mulas and Gary Scott. I'd just be interested to hear some of your stuff- any way this could happen?
mom got me the crystal planet song book by cherry lane today, i told her to take it back.....looked too hard to learn lol! oh well.....ill forever be a wanker. looks like i have a few buddies to join me though
...hey doodies....i was talkin' once to a prof who is a 'house' composer for a town symphony...and he told us bunch of doods once...that the actual names of the modes were messed up.....so this is one of those cases where u have to question 'theory' and sources. the danger with theory is that as it gets passed on....all these revisions and alterations and whatnot...have to be considered...so ..i am not sure what exactly was the case...but i remember that this prof was talkin' bout this messing up of naming of modes. ...so there u go...figure u it out....u can buy a book in the market today about the modes where the author quoted author X....yet...author X..didn't investigate his/her own source......a case that u never stop learning..but have to investigate further on.....As far as the subject of commercial success and 'quality' of geetar playing, ...two don't necessarily go hand in hand together...depends a LOT on personality. some people are scared of being famous, others are not. so it's a personal thingie. each doodie..gots their own life story....i know few doods at the bluuz jam,...smokin' players...but they blow off opportunity after opportunity...cuz they just want to live behind the curtain, play sessions (not for the name..but just to survive)..and they like being unknown..and they feed on that. so to each his own. ...boils down to music...u either dig somebody's playin' or not...and that's all there is to it.

HIGAIN - The maximum interval for a natural minor scale is 1 tone. One full step. You might be thinking of harmonic minor. It has a maximum interval of 1 and a half steps. The natural minor scale in 'E' for example would be E F# G A B C D E. Same a G major but starting and ending on G.
Was I the "Biggest Fool" Vai's Bro in Law was talking about? Why?!!! Clarky, I for one don't think you should post your music just for this d*ckhead's benefit, but one thing still confuses me about one of your posts about music theory earlier. You said that Aeolian, the mode derived from the 6th note of a natural major scale, was a natural minor scale. Given that the maximum interval of a major scale is 1 tone, and the maximum interval of a minor scale is one and a half tones, how is this possible? Thanks again, Dood Dooder, for your theories on theory. ;-) Peace, all.
Wow, sure beats me. I've been goin' at guitar for 4 years now. I'm in my 4th, and I'm stuck in the pentatonic still! It's driving me nuts. I'm gonna move out into the bigger and better things soon though, and then throw in some blues here and there and everywhere. I've been playing piano for 10 years though, so I think I may actually beat someone out at something on here! Okay, we've got 10 here, 10 years ladies and gentlemen, do I hear 11? 11 years anybody? 10 going once......going twice......

Clarky its one of the most respetable guys around VBIL. He can play a LOT of good stufs, and you never gonna hear him claiming be the biggest guitarist around, so, no need to start a fight here. PETER MULAS i tried to download the new song but i just download 1 minute of it....maybe its a IUMA problem....but the begining sounded good! Song of my day : Vai "Die To Live"
VBIL- done lesson one more than once.... 9 tours, 6 albums and was signed to 2 labels in the 90's.... I didn't make it all the way to the top but did better than most.. I'm not the worlds greatest player but I'm more solid than average. I know more chords than Status Quo... I'm not helping much am I.... So do I take it on the chin and post me abusing one of my RG's?? or tell you to screw yourself? It appears to me that you are not the only one interested to find out if the 'great musicologist' can play one chord after the next. Maybe even reach the dizzy heights of a solo too..... I'm flipping the coin.... Clone 2- playing 24 years, studied music at the university of London and I have done piles of session work.
lydianR ... the jap DS-1 is supposed to have a 'warmer' sound and better sustain, but i have a taiwanese one and it sounds like joe [a little too much like joe, thats why i dont use it] and with a crybaby it has the same unique wah sound that joe gets in concert....with the DS-1's you may get lucky and find a gem, or you may strike out....
Does anyone know the difference between the japanese boss DS-1 pedal, and the taiwanese model?I can only get a taiwan DS-1.Do I need to lessen the tone?----ANIBUR-I can't believe you thought "lord of the rings" was too long!!I've seen it 3 times(my little 8-yr old sister loves it^_^) and I felt it was too short if anything!...Its WAY shorter than the book,I guess you've not read Tolkein's master-piece yet,you should!----F.Y.I-Tolkein based the Shire in L.O.T.R's on the west midlands in england,my home land^_^.Also home to ozzy ozborne!
Joe's next book: My early ages... :))) Hey joe, something that is missing on your web site: All your fans want to have a poster in their rooms (like I) and we are pleasing you to place some pictures with big resolution on your web page. Thanks a lot... p.s. this is a job for the webmaster :)
Pete, great song, I love all your stuff. Shanghai Interlude is still my favourite though. Joe, honestly, cant wait for new album. Or any future webcasts. Actually, if you could do 30 minutes of stand up comedy next time, that would be great too. Do it at the drum kit so you can bang some drums when you've made a joke. Ok that may be a poor idea.
Hey gang! Just checkin' in. I highly recommend everyone going to MP3.com and checking out all the entries in the Instrumental Rock catagory. There's some serious talent in there: Neil Zaza, Darren Hurst, Denis Taaffe, Sergio Buss, Ricky Garcia, Brooks Younce, and lots of others. There is ALOT of amature stuff to get through to find the jems though, but they are there. Joe, "The 8 Steps" sounds like a really wiz tune. Can't wait to hear it! **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
That's some good insight into "The Eight Steps" mystery. Can't wait to hear it Joe! ............. Just about to head out the door to check out the Dregg's gig! I'm ready for my Steve Morse clinic!! Second time in 6 months seeing Dave Larue. If I get to talk to him I'll ask him about the Petrucci solo album he just thumped on. Still hoping a certain guitarist who favors blue will show up! I could even pick him up on the way if he needs a ride, lol. I'm sure one of my friends wouldn't mind walking to make room, haha! Later all, I'll post a review when I get home.
Hey hey hey, Big Joe was nominated for a Grammy. A'course, considering how I'm slow you guys probably knew that. He's up against Allman Brothers, Godsmack, Jeff Beck, and Vai. Personally, I think Vai's song (Whispering a Prayer) doesn't even come CLOSE to TEnder Surrender (Nominated in 97 I believe). JOe's gotta win this time. Always with me Always with you is a classic. A CLASSIC I tell you
Hey Clarky! No one's asking you to prove yourself! "To each his own" as I always say! But you sound like you know your stuff, I think it's cool to hear the music that people advertise on here! I listen to them all! at least the ones I know about! And I wouldn't mind listening to your stuff as well!
hey Keith Hansman....see your point duude...but the reality of geetar
players is that if u can't deal with rejection ...u won't go far. so when these
doods 'challenge' anybody on this board, be that u, Clarky, me or anybody
else...there is nothing more to do but to laugh bout it and just shrug it off. u
know...there is probably buncha duuudz outhere laughin but the stuff i
posted...but i could care less....competition only exists among the
insecure duuds who have no vision bout what sort of music they feel like
playing....so instead gauge music according to 'respect'....so just end up
playin' like puppets just to go where the wind blows. 10 or 15 years ago it
was purty popular to play neoclassical...where are those duuds
now?...just tells u how strongly they really felt bout playin the music...while
some other duuds still retained their 'voice' in music cuz they play from
'inside' ...not from outside. those others just did geetar thingie for
'status'...and when the push come to shove...and u start living as a
musician ...on tofu and peanuts...all them..drop out. ...now..thats REAL
war..not some mumbo internet poser competitions. u want real geetar
war.....? ..go outhere and play music ....but the one that challenges u...and
if u can do that for 'living'...then u won that 'music war'...anything less than
that is just plain silly. .....anyways...posted tracks for download at
www.stage.vitaminic.co.uk/fjuuzion_bloozion......just jammin over a vamp...
Hey its another comment from VBIL .....I said it before this guy is too cool for words. You all remember avarice. He came on here taunting all of us to " post our tunes, where's your tunes fool, then at the end of his meaningful posts he would blabber " I come in peace I leave you in shreds" Strange how similar these guys are. Like I said just too cool. When are these idiots gonna learn music is not something that is measured in contests like a sporting event. Notice fool I post with my actual e-mail.
Hi everyone. Joe - Can you give us more info about The Eight Steps? Is it that older song that others here have mentioned? Thanks... ===== mdr - Thanks for the info, and welcome to T2J. Post more often! ;-) ===== mojogroff - You should be able to buy the DVD anywhere...try amazon.com if you want to get it online. ...Austin...
Very well said Clarky. Take the guitar battles to www.guitarwar.com, that's what it's there for. Settle the differences there please. There's been enough arguing here. Btw Clarky, you know an awful lot about theory. How old are you anyway? Is this a wealth of knowledge and wisdom you've gained over many years? Or is it a result of sitting down and saying "That's it dammit, I'm gonna learn theory if it kills me." Fill me in please!
Joe, i know its more than likely your not gonna answer this, but i was wondering could i make a Jackson Warrior Support you low setup without side effects, or do your guitars need specific design and crafting?!
Interesting discovery there mdr..hmmmmm....Sound's like we are gonna' ROCK! :)..
hey vaiolent dooder...Rock it out brotha' Rock it out!......That's it Clarky, you don't need to prove anything to him or us!....Reading your theory and take on music (and making music) proves enough for me, nuf said :)......Hey, is this page 15 day's long??....Maybe JOE would be so kuul to break in with a fresh page and some more info~ Maybe Jeff will tell us if he's using the same drum kit these day's??..Any possibility of some double bass drum attack??....LOL!! Peace all, Mike
I said.."Hey Joe......where are you going with that chrome in your hand?" He said.."I'm going down to play my music.....you know I like to bring the fans"
Clarky: It sounds like pistols at 10 paces with you & VBIL...lol...I think you should should let him sweat it out!Don't give him what he want's,ya know what I mean?Don't let the cat out of the bag.It will probably jump out & shred him to peices or he will skin it & swing it around & hit a few T2j'ers..lol...I have never heard your stuff but No doubt there is a time & place for everything.Let him wonder!:)
hello all hello Joe !!!! i am pekelito and i invit you all and Joe to come to visit the Lag guitar web site i am present on it in artistes/lag familly my name is henri POLIZZI and it's cool !!!!!

Hello, la inspiración que transmite Joe es tremenda, la rapidez de sus digitaciones alucinan.
Realmente, es un verdadero placer descubrir las tantas cualidades que se pueden obtener con una guitarra y el talento de Joe.
Trabajo en Ingenieria, pero mi pasion es la guitarra... la cual también estudio
Pretendo hacer algo muy interesante en un futuro no muy lejano.
Saludos a todos los admiradores de Joe y en si de la musica.
hey mdr.....wuuuuuzzzzaapp??? tnx for info!!
Clarky...agree with your stance. the 'challenge' has been thrown, but if this was a geetar competition website...it would be in context...but since it is NOT,...totally agree with your stance on this. if u feel like...post some music mon, if not, it's all kuuul duuude. it's like somebody's trying to push u to post music for WRONG reasons. ...so totally agree with u there duuud......
ovation buddy...kuuul....i still use fostex 4track....;)...kuuul to hear from ya...and also jam with a duuudie...rockit out..rockit out..duuuuuuuuuud!!
Hi everyone! This is my first post on the T2J forum though I've been an avid reader of these pages for over a year now. For one reason or another, I thought this would be the ideal time to voice some thoughts. I've had the privilege of attending G3 2001 while it was in Toronto during the month of July; the show was incredible. Also, more recently, I purchased the Live in SF DVD; it's about as close as you can get to actually being there with the advantage of being able to replay it over and over! Fantastic.
Joe: You're music is simply surreal in the most inspiring and beautiful way.
Some food for thought... today, while sitting on my bed practicing a few lessons from Satch's Guitar Secrets book (circa 1993), I came across some very intriguing insight which led me to make a connection between what was written in one of the articles and what Joe recently revealed to the T2J community regarding a track on the upcoming album.
The article was written in May of 1990, titled "Advanced Improvising".
Two excerpts:
"What follows is an excerpt from one of my unreleased instrumentals, called "The Eight Steps."
"The Scales used are: E Lydian, G Lydian, B Lydian, E Dorian and B Minor..."
Suprise, suprise!
Could it be?
Twelve (+) years in the making?
We'll soon find out!
I want a family even though my salary can only pay my trip to the United States and the refreshing of passport through the overwhelming Policia Federal. Crazy stiff kid. 2 VHSes (sorry), 1 chromatic Hering, 1 Oxford dictionary, 2 CDs of Classics. All of them made by strangers. I want my motorbike now, if you allow big DF power! Obrigado catatal reader of the kind of law I never liked to study and will never: Direito Comercial - Obcursos. Desmascare Melissa!
More blue text? I'm getting spoiled ... and that's a good thing! Keep 'em coming Joe (and Eric). Can't wait to hear some 7-string grooves! Bring it on!!
Craig Naso - ditto on all points. It's kinda a shame that this ain't like IRC cos then we could all just click that *ignore* button for him. Ah well, ne'er mind. How's the recording going Joe? Eight Steps... next thing you'll be telling us you're doing Endless Rain (Endless Pain) too! Now _that_ I'd love to hear! :-)
VBIL- Yes I am pretty solid with respect to theory. As for the playing. I tend not to talk about my own playing. Not because I'm ashamed of it [as I am not], but because I don't really see the point. I play.. some folks like it and some folks do not. It's all ok with me ... I'm not bothered either way. I enjoy playing and that's all that counts to me. As for stuff on the web.... right now I have nothing.... So, does this mean that you want me to prove myself? Make myself subject to the deaf in here as well as the blind, not to mention your own unique brand of scrutiny... I detect that you are throwing down some kind of challenge. Am I 'man or mouse'? Will I be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the big-guns in here? The likes of Matt King, Biggest Clones 1 though 6, Pete Mulas, Fussion5000.... mmmmm now that would be telling wouldn't it .... The big question here is.... Is it really necessary for me to post up some stuff??? Do I really need to expose myself in this way??? ======== MMO2 for 3G
always remember....(craig naso) theres always one bad apple out of abunch of great ones...I AGREE TOTALLY ON ALL POINTS!! the best thing to do is just ingore the bad apples!!!!....peace to all!!!! and thanks for the up-date JOE!
More delightfull insight from vais brother in law. You should be so proud of yourself. Because everyday you prove to everyone on her that there is hope for insecure losers like you. Shooting people down becasue of your own insecurities is fun huh? You get a kick out of it? Get a kick out of this my loser friend: I know I speak for eveyone on here. Nobody likes you here, and I know you are saying, "what do I care? I am awsome!". No my friend, nobody likes you period. Just face it, it's ok, don't cry (i got tissues if you need them by the way). We understand you, you selfish, little insecure man. I know that I am doing the same thing as you are by putting you down, but I don't look at this way. You have a problem, go seek help and thank us later. Remember, bring it on if you like. Just know that I will ALWAYS win, better yet, WE will always win. We thrive off of people like you. People like you make us stronger, and makes me a better person, you know why? Because I don't want to be like you you. A spineless coward, who hides behind a sheet of glass pretending to be someone he is not. So go cry, and leave us all a pleasant post later. Statazee y spostata, y va fungool fenucca. Oh by the way...Hi Joe...Sorry to say all of these things on your site. I do remember that it is YOUR site, and I respect that.
Sorry Stumunga, I am Joes biggest 18 year old Fan, well i'm actually 19, and in edinburgh, but thats just for uni, I'm from Glasgow. But I gotta agree with u man ,the sooner Joe comes back here the better. The Extremist album rules... "Friends", "Summer Song", "Rubinas Blue Sky Happiness" and how could I forget "Tears in the Rain" Anyone Know are those Oakleys that Joes wears, nice chrome finish, cooooollllll Catcha all, S'later Phatman...
vaiolent duuder: Thank's for the info dude, it's just that I need to get my system set up so I can plug into the comp. and just play, LOL....Right now, I have no way of doing that, but as soon as I get a faster connection, will look into it :)........And JOE....You are way tooo kuul dude....Alway's!......I'm imagining "The Eight Steps"....The Eight Steps it takes to walk on stage, The Eight Steps it takes to string your guitar and get it in tune....The Eight Steps it takes to jump onto that SATCH Starship :)........BTW, PETE! Very, Very IMPRESSIVE my friend on "Escape"!!....Nice time sig. changes, and a nice jammy
tune....Very nice Legato there, and lot's of unexpected stuff!!....Kuul!!..:)..

Sighhhh......haven't been to T2J in a long while, but hey...why bother...still the annoying picking on people...used to be a very nice site...i hope that the new CD can bring the subject back to JOE and his music.....By the way Pete Mulas, downloaded your song, and again exactly what i expected...i really dig your songs....playing it at work right now, and makes the work a bit better...THNX
BIGGEST FOOL: Thank you. Another outstanding example of your grasp on everything
musical. I suppose that within the next six months you shall be giving lectures
on T2J about "cutting a track", especially as you seem to pick things up so
quickly!! CLARKY: Dude...you need to get out a little more! Great theory..you
really do talk the talk but can you walk the walk? Just wondering if you had any
tunes to back up all this theory? Song of the day: Mamma Mia by
ABBA!!!!!!!!
Helen Hunt was hypnotized in my chest by simple rinses = not to tough but said would come again with my fathers passport and my red one to give me. My idea was to send Steve Vai a proposal of rescue and revenge over the cinicals of my country to inform the white snake to come bring my married americana sort of papers for me to sign and get the VISA green card. Either way my fate was to live in that zone The Ultra Zone with respect to all of the weirds who raped my doll. Sorry Ramos but my old smokey friend is going to do what I begged not to happen the big cum. Have a nice meeting with EVIL at c0cklandia planet = never say I may! Schildt, I am sorry to leave Germany most intense and violent ripper I ever loved in BsB. AMEN! *** LARA FABIAN, Harry Potter, Mr. Jack are my only registered trade mark. It's worth a life time to produce these art pieces. We never my clears as she put in your faces. I'd rather my wife and passion Brigite (CA hot). Z & SS
hey joe....check this out. i was listenin' to the tracks on the 'time machine' 'bum....and know u like soundscape stuff....so posted sum stuff...granular in max msp..plus other stuff.....
'sand'..at www.tonos.com/schmuck.......blah blah dood who types too much...
Good Morning Satchland...NITSUA 111...remember those bl...bl...bl**dy hands ? ( from Satch Tapes ).Michelle, i was wondering if Joe's new T-shirt would be on the next Webcast too, i hope it is.I liked Moulin Rouge very much, & we saw The Lord Of The Rings on Sunday, it was good, BUT it was TOO long !! Luv anibur****
Oh.........HI JOE !!!!
I just bought a ibanez js100 and it is the best guitar ive ever owned-so
insperrational and that tone-incredable through my marshall avt 150.joe you
rule,you kick steve vai's ars
JOE is it The Eight Steps as in E Lydian G Lydian B Lydian G Lydian E Dorian G Lydian B Aeolian G Lydian? I hope so! I loop that on piano & strings and use it to warm up! Really really beautiful chords! Could I be any more excited? Nah!
Thanks for everything you do for All you're fans Joe................Would'nt
the coolest thing in the world be to spend just one day in the studio with those dudes, It would be priceless...............Later
Thanx Joe and Eric for the update.Another tune with a number in the title,could it be a jimi thing? i.e."If 6 turned out to be 9" I don't mind,I don't mind-If the hippies cut off all their hair I don't care....hmmm?..Joe did shave his head...could be a Jimi thing? Was "The Bells of Lal" inspired by Hendrix "Are You Experienced"?...not exactaly stoned but...ah..Beautiful. I've been listening to Robert Johnson lately and I got ta think'n how people's say dat dim bones been picked clean by the likes of Eric Clapton w/Cream,ZZ Top, Aerosmith,Led-Zeppelin and many others but I say there is an ocean of inspiration in Robert Johnson's music that could last for many generations to come. i.e."32-20"hey baby where'd you stay last,I say hey baby where'd you stay last night-You got the hair all tangled and you ain't talk'n right.I call for Baby and man she don't come,Well I call for my baby and man she don't come- those doctors in Hot Springs sho cain't hep her none. That's all from the peanut gallery thanx again for the update and I wish you and everybody in the studio with you all the best your friend Johnny....P.S.michelle that was a cool thing to do for Joe, your a good man(woman)Charlie Brown;)....jblaze1:I have posted a new e-mail that I can be reached at.I've got my studio up and running and have been jamming with a few different people.It looks as though 2 Ton Tessie may be resurrected as a band again,...we'll see?
Joe - Thanks for the update. :-) I can't wait to hear what the music sounds like. ===== JS Clone 1 - To "cut" a track means to record it. It probably has something to do with the fact that razorblades are used to cut recording tape and splice different takes together and stuff...I don't know. Of course Joe isn't cutting tape now if he's recording with Pro Tools, but the phrase is still used. Anyway. ...Austin...
hey Higain...wuussaaap......well the 'problem' with theory...is...it's just that ...'theory'. .......'theory' can be as workin' against u...as much as u could actually use it.......u can learn theory and all that...but what bout 'intuition'?? ...far more important than theory....like Miles Davis once said....something like...'first i'll play THEN let u know what i played'....soo...u can use theory to 'inform yourself bout the art'..so that u can create references within your art ...to other sources. Mozart did it...hello..Haydn.....Hendrix did it...hello...albert king...satch does it...hello hendrix....but...they use their own thingie and THEN reference within the music..other sources. sorts of makes music lil' more 'thick'. ...but music based solely on 'theory'...is usually done as 'academic' music...and There *IS* a place for that too. but the whole thingie is to be totally clear bout what your specific piece is about.like target goal..as in 'this piece is bout this'...and u work on best to support that idea. if u want to go to work on expressionist piece...u can inform yourself bout art and check out "pierrot Lunnaire'....schoenberg's take on giraud poems. but if u want work out a bluuz piece...u can check out some kuuuul kuuuul ole Little Walter, the bluuuz shredder. ...u know ..it would be pointless to try to make a bluuz piece....yet never bother to hear the way it came out originally, ..and it would be pointless to work on expressionist piece..but ignore pierrot......so that once u go into the 'original' stuff....u can pull off elements from each, and 'fjuuzionise' it all together...and voila...2 unseemengly unrelated music forms come together....perfecto example...Hendrix...for ..if u analyze...Albert King-bluuz, Russolo-kuuul duuder experimenting with the sounds of 'future'...'noise makers'. so for doods on this board ...u can borrow and reference 'satch' style...but to copy stuff note by note in your original music...is just doing the disservice to both u and satch. if satch was copying hendrix...i wouldn't bother listening...cuz ..u can always play a top 40 gig. to reference 'satch' and still have yer other stuff happenin' ...is far much kuuuler...cuz then music becomes a 'language', and we all know.. a parrot can speak and repeat what it heard...but the actual conversation goes on between those who understand the language. ...and the first and largest obstacle to learning is 'to think u know while u don't'...so u end up repeating stuff like a parrot... ...so 'theory' can create many 'wise' guys, .......so theory can be misleading...if u take yourself too seriously bout it, Without FURTHER investigation....to verify results....anyways...Satch, Eric..and y'all mafia on this board...happy new years too....little belated...but still all the best.
Hi joe,^_^glad to hear the new album is going well!!!Btw Joe, did you hear my Idea?---Me and some of the guys where discussing about the possibility us fans coming up with a SONG TITLE for you,the webmaster could then run a poll to see which people prefered.The winner could be made into a BONUS track on your new album, and you could(if you would oblige of course^_^)write a song based on that title.We reckon it would be a great concept,VAI would be proud!----Also can anyone tell me if there's a huge difference between the japanese DS-1, and the taiwanese model?I can only get my mitts on a taiwanese model, what settings would I have to compensate to get a similar tone to the japan model?
hey Joe is the song 'The 8 steps' is a song you wrote in the 80s cuz I have 'Guitar Secrets' and you mentionned it in the book,you also wrote a couple of chords from it......I hope its gonna be the same cuz the chord progression is SO NICE!!!!!!!!!
Nothin' works better to raise the spirits than to see some good ol' blue. TWADDLE: Don't worry, I laughed....a very, very little bit. Actually it was more of a smirk, but, it got a reaction. Darn, when I saw "Eric" in there, I thought he was talking to me. Well, maybe they'll read this. ERIC CAUDIEUX: Hey, mr southpaw, my name is Eric too. Just a "keen" observation I made. I'm gettin' better at those. Take this one for example, the sky is blue, and so is the little light on my mouse. Or how about this one, 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 60 days in 2 months. Interesting.......or.......24 cans of beer, 24 hours in a day......coincidence? You decide.

Ooh, 8 steps! Sounds...Satch-a-riffic! (Get it? "Riff"? OK, fine, don't laugh, see if I care). Oh yes...has Vai gotten the grammy yet? He really should, you know..."Whispering a Prayer" is such a touching song...but then again, have the grammies really ever been fair?
Thanks a lot Clarky and Dood Dooder for all the insight! Music theory is just such a mindblowingly fascinating thing when you get your head around it... Artistic Mysticism and Mathmatical Precision all in one! No wonder it's the universal language of humanity! 8 Steps... No idea what it means, but it will be cool because it's Satch. (No other reason required.) To "Cut a track" just means to record it... it's probably derived from an era of more primitive recording materials... ones that actually required "cutting" or some other type of physical alteration to record the sound.
Actually, FLO is Steve's white JEM. It looks like any other 7V except you'll see it with some other necks. Sometimes a 7 with a black headstock, sometimes a 555 neck. FLO is actually a JEM77FP painted like a 7V. ....... The 7DBK (the black one with the bumpy paint) is a totally different model. It has Breed pickups instead of EVOs.
Joe - The suspense is a killer! Can't wait for the new tunes! ....................... elpp - What a bummer of a gig, but thanks for the review! I have seen him 4 times and 2 of the gigs were pretty dissapointing. How is the car? ...................... JSC1 - They are about to record a song in the studio. ..................... Dixie Dreggs gig tomorrow night!!!!
Wow Joe! "The 8 Steps"! a very curious sounding name! It will likely be brilliant in it's own way, I'm sure! Hey Eric! Glad to hear from you again! How did the Guns N Roses thing go??? let us know! I'm bored....Time to play guitar!!
...We are about to cut a track called "The 8 Steps" ... everything sounds
amazing today!...Eric is right here next to me and would like to say hi...
"Hi guys, can't wait for all of you to hear all the great great stuff Joe has
written for this last record... It is getting better and better.......!!!!! A very
belated Happy New Year to you all... Eric." Oh...and a VERY special
"Hello" to Twig..."
...Joe here again, just wanted to say thanks to all for making the webcast
a success. I'll do my best to try and get a few more put together this
year...later for now, Joe...
Hey Joe, just a quick note.
Since seeing you live a couple of years ago in Glasgow, you have inspired me day in day out.
Your music is so uplifting, it has helped me though some tough times i am having, i just wanna say, if it wasnt for you and your music, i would be in a much darker place.
Once again, thank you so much for doing what you do, and i can wait to see you in concert again!!!!!!!!!.
I went to see you first time, only hearing "Friends", and as you can tell, the minute you hit the stage, i knew you would have a huge impact on me!!!
Keep up the amazing work, it really helps people, you all RULE!!!!!!
Thanks, Stumunga ( your biggest 18 year old fan in glasgow)
P.S. Next time you are in town, ill buy you lot a beer!!!!
Cya!!
Michelle - Bohemians??? I'm confused... I'm working on tabbing out the end solo to Answers on G3 96. It's pretty cool, so far so good, just finishing up the sweeps in the beginning. Anyway, when I'm done, anyone here want to check it out and see how accurate my ear is on the guitar? For some reason, I think I'm more accurate with piano. I think it's because I've been playing it for over 10 years, and I can name any chord, interval, inversion or note now. Kinda cool stuff when people are like "Wow, that's really cool, I wish I could do that." Well, that's it for Eric Tranquada's party starters! Wait until next post for Party Starter #2.
anibur, yeah it was black. Maybe we'll see it in the next webcast! lol! Austin, ancient Chinese secret. shhh! xrob, my eyes are brown, not my nose :o) LOL!
....modes are purty simple thingie. rather than confuse oneself with gazzillion of names for each mode...as in 'frijuuvian' mode for altered harmonic major minor demolished......simply reduce the whole thingie to intervals. So, place tonic, mark it as 1. Find the next interval of that particular scale...mark it 2. and ..so forth...3...4..and so on. Then visualize the structure of those intervals on the geetar neck. The kuuul part with this is that you are not really stuck in terms of thinking 'scales'..but rather u know the chord notes. So rather than going to the bluuuz jam and saying...let's try this weird scale...just to find out it doesn't work...u can work the other way around. If u are aware of chord notes at all the times, ...u can play around chord notes. that way...the note choice has shifting color to it, instead of static sounding modal thingie. also...this way...makes u thing about playing motif based stuff instead of scale patterns. if u know the chord tones, then that way u play a motif on the specific part of the neck, and when the next chord kicks in....instead of shifting hands to a new position...play the chord tones of that chord in the same previous position so that the color of the previous line is shifting...and then it starts sounding smooth. ...so modes are kuul...but then its way to easy to fall in the trap of playing patterns that have nothing to do with anything relating to the tune. but knowing the chord tones at all the times, u can think in terms of motifs and create variations...transform them into something else gradually. ...and also...as abercrombie pointed out in the vid he did....'lydian scale has 12 notes'....and so does c major....:)....no 'wrong' notes....but..at least in jazz...'wrong times to play them'....later duuuuds. ps. hey ovation duuude....don't worry duude, just plug in and go. if u judge playin too much....how can u let go...?? so relax...plug it in..and lets go to work duude....;)
with all of this potato tomato talk the song of the day is appropriately THE MYSTICAL POTATO HEAD GROOVE THING.....ELPP - eric is playing here on the 17th, too bad it's a 21 & over show! the 4th & B sux man., still haven't seen eric live.....and he was pretty much the first guy i got into out of all these guitarists.

Thanks Michelle....i took a look at those just now, was it a black one ? Joe might wear it on stage this year.......well you never know !! Lucky Joe !! JOE....remember not to do the dishes this week :))always with me, luv anibur***
Vai's bro: Well,I guess I'll have to tune my "SEARS ELIMINATOR" & put a new 4" speaker & batteries in my PIGNOSE for the G3 tour.Any chance I can get steve to open for me???..lol:)
Clarky: You da man...what a vast wealth of knowledge. I bet you get invited to
all the best parties as well - don't you? John Bowen and his time machine for

Michelle, you brown-noser! : ) I'm going to change the color of the text in all the documents I create to BLUE. It just looks better for some reason, I can't figure it out ...
Well, Eric Johnson´s show on friday was the first of his 2002 tour, and it showed. He was a bit rusty, but the show itself was excellent until the final 3 or 4 songs, when one of the PA speakers blew up and started rattling horribly. I managed to get there early enough to grab front row center space, and it was funny how Eric noticed the blown speaker: he was playing a bluesy solo with his eyes closed. All of the sudden he opens them wide and looks at Chris Maresch (bass dude). While he´s still playing his solo, he walks up to Chris and asks him "what is that?" Chris nods his head, like saying I don´t know, so Eric turns the other way and asks his tech, who also nods, so he starts walking around the stage looking for the noise source without missing a beat on his solo. On the next song, Righteous, the rattling is really bad, and by now Eric is totally pissed and screaming at his tech "that sounds terrible". He plays another song and leaves, then comes back for the Cliffs of Dover encore and the speakers start losing midrange. He´d be doing the fast runs on the song and some notes are totally dead. So he REALLY abbreviates the song and comes storming off the stage. Somehow they convinced him to play another one and as soon as he finishes he leaves the club and his bandmates behind. Man, he was MAD!! Fortunately he did come out of his bus to sign stuff, so I know have a G3 96 shirt with Vai and EJ´s signature, the G3 96 CD signed by Joe, Steve, Eric, Jeff and Stuuuuuuuuuu, and a signed ticket from Friday´s show. The worst thing was actually that my car gave up on the way back home, but that´s another story...More on that next time. MEX-PEAT!!! Later.

Have a nice day, whoever.
Higain, your mode thing is correct but there is one important thing to note. The modes are a means of creating a new series of intervals [distances between notes] based upon an existing 'centre' scale [which is used for reference only]. The modes based upon C major would be C ionian [intervals from C to C], D dorian [intervals from D to D] and so on. Taking D dorian as an example it is true to say that it is a scale of Dm where the 6th note is major [instead of the 6th being minor as it is in a 'natural' minor scale]. Although D Dorian is calculated from C major, you are never in the key of C. You would be in the 'key' [more correctly 'the mode'] of D Dorian. This is because the Tonic [1st note] is D. This is also true to say for all modes. A few common examples are Ionian- starting from note 1 and is the diatonic major [from which all 7 note scales are derived in 'Western harmony]], Aeolian- starting from note 6 and is the natural minor [also refered to as the relative minor], Mixolydian- starting from note 5 and is a major scale with a minor 7th, Dorian- starting from note 2 and is a minor scale with a major 6th. There are lots more but you'll find that the 4 I've mentioned are in most common use and are a good place to start. When using modes, you'll need to try to get the feeling that the tonic note is the basis [not the scale the mode came from]. A most common problem I see is folks playing C major licks over G mixolydian. Although the notes are not incorrect, it does sound a little out or 'distant'. This is because the notes don't resolve very well. The cure is to record a groove with the chord C and improvise Ionian for a long time and the switch to C mixolydian [from F major] and do the same.. it will settle you down in the end and your ears will begin to find what works and what does not. It will feel a little odd at first. Also do the same with Cm [from Eb major] and C Dorian [from Bb major] over a Cm groove. It's all well and good knowing the theory, application is what really matters and getting the unique sounds of different modes inside your head is not easy. Playing is the only way to get this 'orientation' and it takes time. As always... go for the simple things first and expand from there... Good luck.. modes are a fun way of playing when you get them down and very useful tools when writing.... Prog X, bud.. you were missed in here.. kudos.. ==================Vodaphone for 3G
anibur, it's one of the Hendrix shirts at oldglory.com. Seemed very appropriate for the end of 2001. I thought of Joe as soon as I seen it. Very cool :)
Hi Joe...Glad to hear your doing well....Matt Kings's tab for "turkey man" is dead on! Hi Everyone! I'm off! (like that girls shirt form the other night!).
Hey, I have just been listening to 'KFOG' radio station ,on the Web,& they played Until we Say Goodbye ........way to go !! Well Done Joe, I wish you were played in the UK too, even if it was only 6 in the morning there !! What a way to start the day . Michelle....lucky girl....what was on the T-shirt you sent Joe ? ....could you help me out, on the Webcast , I need to know what the very last framed picture was that Joe held up ,my stream was jumpy, & the sound was too, so I couldn't hear what was said either.It looked like it was a very special picture to him. THANKS Luv anibur***
That sound's like a kuul idea there Vaiolent duuder!......I wish I had the capability to do that, but till then....Someday soon :)....Also, tried to take a listen to your tunes there dude but my Media Player doesn't recognize the files....Will have to play with it to get it to download..............Ahhhhhhh, fresh blue I see....Was listening to "HFOB" in the car on level 32 volume in the car, LOL!, and each time I listen I get a different vibe from you JOE!! It's all great, of course, but all I could imagine is how much fun you guy's had recording that tune!! That's your BADDEST kick-a$$ Blues tune IMO!!....Was
also wondering how you like the 7 string action, and does this mean your taking a harder edge this time around?? If so, I think your best is yet to come, LOL!
Peace all, Mike
yo dooodies from satch and vai board....how bout some jam sessions here? it would be kuul to upload just 'backin' tracks on the music site so that doods from the board can download it, then record the playin, and upload it back. this way u get to jam as in 'call and answer' sort of playin....u know..play few bars, leave out few bars...so that instead of playin' licks u get to force yourself to listen what other doodies are playin' so that your playin' becomes relevant to their playing. anyways...just a thought cuz this stuff would be purty simple to pull off. ...and no...it wouldn't be a geetar thingie...but a jam..where u have to listen what other doodies are doing ...instead of just playin' over the top. ..so the whole thingie would be call and answer sort of thingie.....anyways...myself ..don't have too much time to write geetar stuff...but this sort of 'jam'...would be really a kuul way to play with other doodies in meantime......what do u think...? we can start with the drum machine backin' tracks and later if the stuff works out..use the actual players...anyways...posted some stuff at tonos.com/schmuck....and if u prefer jammin' over weird abstract sounds intead of standard funk/rocks stuff.....got tons of sounds.....so we can do that too.....rock it out...

housefullofkarma - The answer is Borg Sex, because Joe mentions the name of the song right before he plays it on LISF. J/k...it's Strange...good question. ...Austin...
JS CLONE 2: I can sort of relate to your pool experience. One of my brother's friends was sick and decided to yakk all over the back seat of my car today. I spent a good 30 minutes in the cold cleaning/sterilizing the upholstery. I did a damn good job though, so it's all good. I have a pool in my yard, but no one has f'ed that up yet. By the way, it IS "Tic Tac Toe" haha :-)
hey jesse ~ you got it dude. the modes are basically what note you start and finish on. a D dorian scale uses the notes of the C major scale but starts and ends on D (as well as E phrygian, F lydian etc...). it's all about how you mix it up that makes the music, though. ** joe, if i ever win the lotto, would $100K an hour be suffice for some in depth lessons? i've always wanted to win so when asked what i'm gonna do with the money - i could point at the camera and say "i'm gonna go play some music with joe satriani". then my alarm wakes me up and i go to work. * hope the new record is laying down nicely... long live jimi.
Ah, yes, a splash of blue really makes this page look better... Although I really want to know how the sessions are going, I know it's gonna be a loooooooooooong time before I get to HEAR anything, so it's almost taunting... If only there were "insta-albums"... I'm sensing some good old fashioned classic rock-esque songs with a harder edge and some blues-influenced solos all over the place. Am I right? I'm also predicting some insane 7-string riffing in the midst of all this and an all-around kick ass album. Can't wait!
===================================SATCH TRIVIA================================
Hey everyone I just remembered something funny that I'd like to share with you. This song title from the EOC album is actually a lyric on which Satch song? :-) A bunch of you probobly know this!
AHHH! The mystery of modes is solved! Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but doesn't the 2nd 3rd 4th etc. mode of a scale refer to where you begin the octave? (ie. 2nd mode of C Major scale would begin and end on D, 3rd mode of G minor scale would begin and end on B flat etc.) A great first guitar lesson. Now learning to play "Cryin'" with perfect technique. MICHELLE, I'm green with envy!! Hmmm, new studio album? He's already done Pop- rock, hard rock, blues and techno... what could possibly be next? Dixieland Jazz?!!
cool, new message from joe... can't wait to hear the stuff when it's finished. :o) Any chance of another pre-release track? And npo one's really talking about this any more, but i always thought the solo from "Back To the Futre" sounded mor elike something EVH would have done... i mean, doubt it's really him, but it's the same sort of "blues-rock on speed" thing he does... just a thought. rock on, -Drew

Can't wait to hear some more news on what you're doing in the studio Joe! Man, I dislike Sundays! Nothing to do and no drive to do anything. Almost go crazy with bordom!! I wish I could do something, something that will keep me happy and occupied for the one day I have to myself! Guitar is fine, it will always be there but I need something else as well! I wish I could workout again, but the high prices of the gym is out of the question. Video games are getting to be boring as well! I play them the first day I have a chance and end up finish them the same day! sickening! Arrggg! I'm back to work tommorow anyways! might as well go to bed...this day is shot!
Hey Joe, my pleasure :) Hope you guys have a great time creating the next gem. I just got done watching Moulin Rouge. Stu played a great Harold, and Joe and the JS Clones were great Bohemians. lol! What a freaky movie...but I liked it.
AL - It was "potato." I've heard some different stories on that too. Apparently, from the videotape, you can see the teacher telling him what to say in the spelling bee. That would make it the teacher's fault...Nevertheless, I would like to think the US VP could do a little editing :-)
Hi Joe...glad to hear that things are going good in the studio. ===== Twaddle - I don't want to post what the secret in the jewel box is, because I want people here to discover it for themselves first. I don't think everyone that ordered has gotten it yet (For those that don't know...unscrew the bottom of it...). I'll email it to you personally though. ...Austin...
Michelle, thanks for the cool shirt and stuff...Everyone says hi, and all is
well and very good in the studio...more on that later this week...joe........
Hey guys, I wasn't attacking anyone's spelling. I was just being sarcastic and bringing up an embarrassing moment in the past of the U. S.. The posts' with tomato and potato reminded me. The vice president under George Bush (The old man of our current prez), a goofball named Dan Quayle was visiting an elementary school and the teacher asked him to spell tomato (or potato, I can't remember) on the chalk board and he put an "e" on the end. The press had a field day with him, haha! Anyway, he was a total idiot in the first place and embarrassed the country numerous times during their 4 year (1 term, thank God!) reign. Although Bill Clinton (the next head puppet) wasn't much better, huh? BTW, you do add an "e" when it's plural. Damn, I sound like an english major, lol! Which by the way, is the lamest major I can think of. I have 3 friends with english majors and all 3 of them make very little money at the jobs they find that are available with those "talents". What a strange post, haha! "Ya know I'm feelin' kinda ssstraaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange" Rock on Joe! Oh yeah, Dan Quayle now runs a "think tank", lol!
Well, I don't know how I spell tomato(e) or potato(e), and I don't really care, I sure hope you guys don't care enough to start a big fight over it here, cuz that's the last thing we need, more fighting..hehe. So, I just got back from work at the pool and guess what???? TIC TAC TOE!!!!!!!!!! Or is it Tic Tac To(e)? hmmmmmmm, another fight subject. Anyway, some kid fouled the pool for a 3rd week in a row. If it happens again, all the lifeguards and the manager have to go in for some investigation that's gonna make no sense at all. Just thought I'd mention my day. So long folks.
^_^Does anyone know joe's boss dd-3(digital delay),and boss CE-5(chorus)settings? Also Im getting a DSL401 vavle combo amp, does anyone know if I could get a satch type tone by using a boss DS-1 and the afformentioned pedals?.......Btw, G3 ELECTRIC MAT:I agree! It would be cool if joe could go back to his earlier style ala surfin' or even not of this earth!...JOE how are you getting on with the new record? And are you recording it in a hired studio like your albums previous to e.o.c?

Joe can i some how get a crystal planet guitar pick for my collection thanks-matt
alocalperson (paul huxley) ... they VC50 series is quite impressive, paul gilbert is a big user of this amp, its pretty much makes up most of his setup, like always, try the amp out for yourself, dont go on what other people say, my TF is a lower quality model and i love it, so the VC should be a killer!

Would someone care to tell me exactly what the surprise is in Vai's "Secret Jewel Box"? Feel free to expose the secret. Thanks!
people don't talk about vai here because satch and vai are friends. they are friends, but that's definitely not the reason. the reason is they are both at the top of their game (their game being intrumental rock music). so, people talk about petrucci here too. i don't think it's because they are friends. so, what's upper, joe? how are the recordings? mmm? i bet you are working hard... :)
I wonder why people write about Steve Vai here and I can come up with 2 answers. First, Vai's site has no message board, it's been out of order for nearly a year! So, Satch's is the only possible place where is close enough. 2. We assume Satch and his fans here won't mind reading Vai's stuff 'cuz there're friends(Satch&Vai). How interesting. Anyway, if you still haven't discovered Vai's secret from his Secret Jewel Box,here's another one. Unscrew the bottom panel and you'll find a little secret of his, try it. At least, it may stop you from complaining about the cost of it!(just kidding.Vai's stuff will never be too expensive). Later....
xrob - I was under the impression that he would be recording everything at home like he did for EOC. Maybe I'll watch the webcast again to see. ...Austin...

Welcome Prog X!!!! glad to see you in the Satch realm again :)
hey everybody, haven't written in a while, I've been spending more time practising. I figure that if I'm going to buy a new amp, I might as well deserve it. Any thoughts on the Laney VC50?? I know pete plays Laney but that's a TF isn't it?
To Joe, Stu and especially Jeff, As a drummer the three of you are what my definition of groove is all about. I was thrilled to get the opportunity to see the G3 tour and hope you come back to my town Richmond,VA or close near by. I trully want you to know that your creative music influences both the younger and the older generations of musicians. I trully admire Jeff's drum playing. I put on my stereo and bang away on my drums imagining that I am sitting right there with you on stage playing my drums. Jeff it must be a thrill to play along with Joe and Stu. They are trully remarkable and blessed!
Vai's Bro:I would love to help but My Flux Capacitor is broken! I guess I'll have to use my Groove tubes & TRS trem to bypass it.It's the only thing that is in working order.I shot my edge trem through a tennis ball cannon across the English channel,strapped to a Digital watch to see if it would stay in tune & stand the test of time.It never came back!:(
Hey Stupidmarmoset23 (Scott Ferguson)!!!! Joe does mostly use the DiMarzios Fred and PAF Pro but for one Chromeboy, he uses the Seymour Duncan "Pearly Gates"! something to do with the tone of the instrument, It's fairly new and he decided to try those! Joe's favourite instruments are extremely broken in usually, and this one was new and he wanted a more classic tone to it so that it would sound broken in! The "Pearly Gates" will give you that and still give you alot of natural bite too! Another Seymour Duncan pickup worth mentioning are the "Alnico II Pro Humbuckers"! Nice sweet tone (I built a guitar and put those in there). The magnets are apparently aged to give the pickup more natural string vibration for excellent sustain!
In December someone asked the same question Joe's reply was: "...Richie B., I use a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates set on that guitar, mainly because it is such a strange sounding guitar. I've tried using a Groove Tubes Fat Finger on it as well. It's lighter than my other chromed wood guitars, and
not as solid feeling...but it sounds cool!...Joe" ................The other ? it is a boss ds1.... his settings are 9 o'clock ,5 o'clock, 2 o'clock.
I'm so confused. I've been trying to mimic Joe's tone but when I watched the new San Francisco DVD I swear those pickups on Chrome Boy say Seymour Duncan. I always thought he used DiMarzio Fred, and a PAF-Pro. Whats up with that? Also, anyone know what distortion box he uses? I think it's a Boss but I'm not sure.
Thanks for the compliment JSC1. Good to know it sounded ok. We gotta jam real soon, that last one didn't go so well, and I have to see how the video looks! Can't wait! I'm off to another day of lifeguarding at the pool. Maybe if we're lucky some kid'll barf again. 3 in a row, tic tac toe! Knock on wood.
Al Surfer: Yeah, ELPP will make us wait that long. ; ) Guitar0712: Didn't Mark Hanson play that song in the movie? Mark Hanson has a very small part in the movie. He's playing bass in Fox's band when they are auditioning for the dance. I read an interview with Mark Hanson saying that he played the solo in that song because Fox couldn't play that well. I'm sure he played the entire song. ELPP: Mr. Surfer and Rubester await!! MEX-PEAT!!
Hi Joe, Michelle, Mak, Evan et. al. I missed all of you guys. Haven't been on the internet much but listened lots to the cd's and WOWOWOW that DVD "Live in San Francisco" is AWESOME! I can't wait to see you again, Joe (you too Michelle, Mak and Evan). I look forward to another tour SOOOOOOON please! My Satch low level light is flicking 'on'. Need a boost. Love- Mary G

Go back to the beginning Joe to where it all began Surfing With The Alien man release another album like that one and your sure to hit the charts big.Your older albums will never die they are the best
potatohead ... devil's slide is written in the minor mode "Phrygian", in the melody it is D Phrygian and jumps to A Phrygian for a little....and in the solos it jumps to different keys, but all are, yep you guessed it, in phrygian mode...in case you dont know, the phrygian scale is a scale starting three steps up of a major scale, in this case the melody uses Bb major (d phrygian) and Fmajor (a phrygian)....sorry if that makes no sense, i just woke up
what's up everyone, it's the mailman karl malone here. JS CLONE 1 i told you i would help you with that dont sweat it, i got a team of midgits working around the clock on getting your video up so be ready to be an overnight rock sensation. i can tell you now that i did the Johnny B Goode solo in BACK TO THE FUTURE. me and mikey fox go way back. but hey man, it will be out on my MY cd box set, limited to 1,500,000 copies the first installment is called THE ELUSIVE TIED AND BOUND volume 1. this set is only available on my site (which is under construction as we play) http://www.karlmalone.com it features the licks and backing tracks i composed for some of the undergrounds hottest S&M videos, TIED & BOUND volume 1 features sounds and effects you won't hear anywhere else. in one passage entitled "spank me, stab me" i do this over the neck whole tone super ultra harmonic mixolydian tap dancer minor run which just blows away anything i have composed in the past. my BOX SET will also come in a secret jewel box, it also makes noise when you open it....you hear the sound of a cracking whip. and when you are one of the first 5,000 people to order my BOX SET you get a free gift, a studded necklace with dog leash. we couldnt figure out how to hide something in the bottom of the box without the smell coming out so we had to do this. sorry if this lowered expectations but its a rocking BOX SET and i hope you all by a copy....with the completion of my BOX SET i would like to say that your all part of it, every single one of you, thank you.....this goes out to all of you here tonight, this one's called "colon cleanse" (breaks into friends)
therubester - Yeah, I can't wait to hear how E. J. was either. I don't think we'll here from elpp until the end of next week though. .................. Only 3 more days until Steve Morse and Dave Larue! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Should be cool! Anyone else here going to the S. F. Dixie Dreggs gig? I'm going with a few people and Megaboyd is going with a group. Anyone else? Joe? (In my dreams, haha!) Thanks again Mak for the heads up on the tour! ................ Now just waiting for Dream Theater tickets to go on sale for March.
El Muneco by Ricky Garcia is an Merenge/Salsa/Jazzy grovin' tune~ Was listening to it from his promo CD in the car today~ An awesome uplifting, party, happy-go-lucky tune!! :)....Guitar from the heart!........I wonder if JOE got any sleep this week....How kuul that must be...."Honey, I'll be over JOE's house in his studio working on the new tunes....I won't be home till late this evening"..LOL!....Peace all, Mike

Hey Joe. I was wondering what key "Devil's slide" was in. I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out. I was playing it in C Minor, is that right?
Hey everyone, instead of putting up the video of JS Clone 2 and I playing FTLOG, I will post some of the more interesting parts so the files don't get too large. I'll post the guitar intro and the FTLOG solo. Maybe some other clips that anyone might want to see of the performance. ......JS Clone 2 - I was paying attention to your rhythm section in FTLOG... DEAD ON. Really good job again.
Hey you guuuuuuuyss!!! Greetings once again from the GREAT WHITE NORTH!! So just how DO you get that cool,eerie sound in the 'Champagne?' song, Joe? And what kind of tuning do you use for the song? 5 songs?...Cool # 9, Back to Shalla-Bal, Love Thing, Engines of Creation and the Forgotten part 2! Well, I'd better skedaddle!!

Hi Joe! My name is Anne. You probablly don't remember me, but I had the pleasure of meeting you when you did Rockline in LA. i used to intern for your PR firm. That was the only time I've ever seen you live unfortunately. I'm always broke when G3 comes around. Next time you're in NJ/NYC, I'm so there!!
Hi all. Back To The Future stuff - I didn't think it was Vai until someone said it was...then I thought it might be. But now that I think about it, as others have said, it probably isn't Vai. But just because it isn't in the Jewel Box doesn't mean anything...that CD is only Volume 1 of his movie stuff. Anyway, I have the movie on tape somewhere, maybe I'll dig it out and see what it says. ===== natekelley35 - EOC doesn't suck. You're probably at a disadvantage here because you didn't get to hear some of the songs live. Keep listening to it...it'll grow on ya. ;-) ...Austin...
Rich, Vai didn't play the solo in B2TF. There's absolutely nothing mentioning that movie in the Secret Jewel Box. They've got every tiny little thing from movies on the Elusive Light and Sound. Some tracks are only 8 seconds long. I didn't really think it sounded like Vai when I heard it. Oh well. I'm right, you're wrong, we'll leave it at that my underling. That boxed set is unbe-freakin-lievable. It's a shame there's only 10000 made (sarcasm). Oh well, I've got one!
O.K. fella's: I may have been dreaming but,I saw an interview with Michael J Fox for the Making of "Back to the Future"quite some time ago & he said that he practiced for months to play the song"Johnny B good".In the ending credits it says"Johnny B good performed buy "Marty McFly" & the Starlighters in Back to the future!He does play guitar but that solo on "Johnny B good",does not in any way sound like Steve's work.Quite frankly,it sounded awful!Although Steve may have done the "Highschool band Audition" in the beginning of the movie but there is no mention of steve in it..I still doubt it though! It was just mindless shredding.That style of guitar was not all that uncommon back in the 80's I was doing crap like that way back when. Who knows,it could have been Me....lol...Please prove me wrong.I would like to know!
JS CLONE 1 - what are the facts thought? i really don't think he did it, i have no clue who did it but it wasn't vai.... NATEKELLY - i felt the same way after hearing it, i still do for the most part but after a while you find little things about it that you like, say the champagne? solo....i think devil's slide sucks though, theres awesome playing but the song itself just sounds lame, theres no beat or groove to get into, it's just weird.
natekelly35 - if you can't get past the "tech crap" then you're not listening correctly. There's loads of great guitar there, Joe's best according to Joe. And the songs are all Joe - pitch axis, modulations you wouldn't dream of, melody lines to die for, the composition of the gods, if you will. It's all there. Just lose the blinkers and all will be great once again. And what's with all these apostrophes? Don't you people know where and where not to put an apostrophe?
JS CLONE: YAYO is right...that's NOT Vai on Back to the Future. Everything he's ever done for movies is on "The Elusive Light and Sound." That includes 2 songs that he wrote after watching/reading books, songs from Crossroads, Dudes, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, Encino Man, and PCU. Trust me as well...I've seen that movie well over 20 times for a) the DeLorean and b) the little guitar bit. I think Vai can play a little better than that and would have. Also, Back to the Future I came out 1984-1985...a little before Vai started becoming really well known
Well hello hello hello JOELAND!! This is Jay from absolutely positively middle of NOWHERE in the Finnish Army! Godd*mmit you can believe that it does suck in here, the officers are mostly full of sh*t and then again when you least expect it, they are nice to you. Well, there you go. Actually, it's slowly starting to grow on me, the only thing is that I MISS MY GUITAR PURPLE DONNIE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!!! Holy J, when I get the 1st weekend off, and get home, I'm gonna crank the amp all the way up and blow the windows out with crunchy-groovy sounds! :):):):) happyhappy tralala when I do that. Gotta go now. Good night JOELAND and all the rockers in here, especially ProgX, but most especially my zen-master JOE! Hope you are good in the studio. My Spirit Is Always With You, Always With Me. Jay out.
Ya Yo - No, he really did do that solo. I mean on top of the facts, just listen to it. It's so Vai. ......................... PROG'S BACK. We were all pulling for ya PROG.
Hey Joe... I just bought your Engines of Creation CD and im sad to say that it sucked... I really dont care for all the tech crap in it.. I liked it back in the Surfing with the Alien days... Surfing with the Alien and Crystal Planet were my favorite CDs.. man please go back to that stuff in your new album b/c all this added crap in these new songs just kind of makes me not want to listen to it at all...
Kirk!! Prog X!! It's Alive, It's Alive!! Glad your back man! We were all pulling for you, yes even Joe! Take care! Welp, time for my little doggy to get his first needles! He is growing very fast! Joe? you have any pets? Rock on gang!
KIRK is back!! Great new's indeed :)....JOE SATCH does heal all wound's :)....
Welcome back, and look forward to checking out your music....Hey Vaiolent duuder
....Man, that's some deep stuff there....Love your song title! I'll check it out!....I read an interesting quote from Ornette Coleman: "Musicians must be free to produce any given sound at any given time"....Thank-you John McLaughlin,
LOL....Chic Corea comes to mind....That Electric Band funk-o-rama!!...Carlos Rios and Scott Henderson are da' man!!....Jazz rock's!....Crossover from so many styles, and then mix it all up....Kuul!......AL: LOL on the keyboard!..I remember that post you made :)....Sense makes dinking when your beer, LOL! Peace all, Mike....SOTD: "King Co*kroach"....C/C Lectric Band :)..(man, alway's get caught using bad word's by accident, LOL)
Heeeeeey! The PROGSTER is back!!! Great to see you back here on T2J bro! Glad your recovery is going well. Give your bud Gannman a big hug (or whatever guys do) for keeping us posted like he did. No more stopping for directions young man! A good road map and some help from MapQuest.com and you should be good to go :) God Bless!
hey prog-x ...i am purty new face around here...used to post a lot on vai's board ..though...anyways...read your story...all the best duuude.....now back to shreddin' the prog....
anyways...kuul to read tons of jazz discussion here...but what bout some underground prog?
Christopher Godin (ex Ze Morgibl)...is workin' on a new project...which should be purty kuuul....if u heard stuff he did with Z.M. Another purty kuuul prog geetar duude Derryl Gabel is also writing tons of stuff...u can check out on the net.....speakin' of legato...this duude gots it down all the way....so kuul to check out...
..however..when somebody mentions prog....usually holdsworth comes to mind...but prog can be anything. myself...i associate prog with the word 'fusion'...and like steve morse said..fusion is when u combine three or more styles of music....so country-shred-rock...u name it...sort of mixing qualities of various styles and just blending it in....getting the most 'natural' sound of it as possible....and geetar wise...most if it 'tone' ...and other stuff is mainly different textures as 'spicing on the cake'. however...what can be kuul to do nowadays is to use computers for live interactive performance so that improv faces the new challenge of this 'puter interaction. most live interactive stuff is done with Max, and the live processing through Max Msp. ...it would be really kuul if satch and vai did live interactive piece together so that gestures that they play affect each other....(if u check out the piece by David Jaffe and Andy Schloss -'wildlife'-)..and this would be purty kuul to pull off live....scary stuff....
anyways....myself..haven't been busy playin' geetar much these days....school stuff...but just posted Granulating the Alien...using the max msp patch...just weird experiments...www.tonos.com/schmuck
...anyways...doodies...please post some more kuuul jazz/prog discussion....rox...
JS CLONE 1 - i'd like to know where you heard that....iv'e never heard anything about vai doing the solo to JBG in B2TF....see if JS CLONE 2 has it on one of the cd's in the jewel box, if not i seriously doubt he did it...
Prog X - You don't really know me, but I've always enjoyed your posts. I've been pulling for you this whole time (along with everyone else here on T2J), and it's good to have you back. :-) ===== JS Clone 1 - Vai did the Back To The Future Johnny B. Goode solo? I didn't know that...cool. ===== JS disciple - Turkey Man appears on Additional Creations, the EP that was included with some copies of Engines Of Creation. Search Ebay for "satriani" and you should be able to find Additional Creations there. If you're wondering what the intro is, it's that piece of music Joe plays before Rubina on the LISF CD that doesn't appear on the studio version of Rubina. ...Austin...
Welcome back prog, You should feel privilidged Joe mentioned you personally on the boards. Actually I have no idea who you are but thought I would tell you welcome back!
Greetings to all! If any of you have read the messages about my getting robbed and shot that Gannman left here some time ago back in the beginning of December, I'm sure you have all heard the unfortunate news of what happened to me. Well folks, feeling it was high time I reported in, I'm here to tell you all, fans and band alike, that my too-onery-to-die-ass is ALIVE AND KICKING and healing up faster than you can say "Satch"! :) And might I say, the music of Joe Satriani was an essential part of my healing process in the hospital and beyond. I am now fully back up on my feet and running around again like a chicken with his head cut off! I do have a couple of physical wounds left from the incident, which are healing up slowly but surely. But I'm back, and all because I hung on to the three things through this ordeal that mean the most to me...God, family, and music, and might I say it's going to take a hell of a lot more than a bullet to the stomach and two scum for human beings to put me in the ground! A very special "Kudos" to everyone on this board who sent prayers, well wishes, and good vibes...especially Michelle Good and family, and Bil McKim, who sent me numerous cards and well wishes. These things mean so much to me, and all of your prayers and good vibes apparently worked to get me back to the place I was before! *** For all who have not yet heard my music...visit my site at http://www.mp3.com/ProgX and download my MP3 single "As I Watch The Clouds Rush By". I know the site hasn't had an update in ages for obvious reasons, but one is soon forthcoming, probably by January 15th. And sit tight and cross your fingers...the next completed song from my upcoming album "I" is currently being worked on and is turning into a beast! :) I plan to upload that by Mid-March... :) Already made my New Years resolution...no more getting shot! It smarts like a b1tch, and one bullet in the gut is one too many for my entire life! :) Once again, special thanX to all, and...Kudos! The Progmobile rides again! :)

I've never had the pleasure of listening to "Turkey Man". Can somebody tell me where I can listen to it. Thanx.

Hi joe. I dug out VH 5150 the other day & put on "Best of Both Worlds" - what a song to totally rock out & go crazy on!!! If I'm ever in a cover band, that will be on the setlist, no doubt! I love the Sammy-era stuff. Take care!
PLUM - 24th fret works too but Eric uses the 22nd fret as a harmonic with the bar started depressed. Joe usually picks one or more open strings with the right hand. He hits them with a harmonic and then makes it scream by pulling up on the bar. ............................ YA YO/Clone2 - Yep ancient news alright. If you didn't know (which you probably do), Vai also plays the Johnny B Goode solo in Back to the Future. Man I must've senn those Bill & Ted movies 50 times.
Hey Joe!! ELPP: Good to hear from you, dude. I didn't know about Eric Johnson playing in El Paso until last night!! I'm missing it as you can see. : ( Good luck with the autograph. Have a good weekend!! Adios. MEX-PEAT!!
JS CLONE 2 - you didnt know that before you got the box set? thats old news brother......like say 12 years old. 10,000 box sets only, looks like morpheus will be my guide in obtaining it... SHARK IN THE TUB da na na na da na na na
Date: Fri Jan 11 19:24 climber (Don)<climber@sinclair.net>:
JS Clone 2!!! Hey Eric, when you're ready to Jam dude, I'll leave it to Richard and yourself! I'm figuring spring time anyways! about the whammy thing! I first press down on the whammy and then with my left thumb or pointer finger (whichever is easiest at that given time) I hit what would be the 24th fret harmonic, where the fret would be if I had 24 frets (lets just say the G string) for instance! only a 22 fret fingerboard though! But as I'm figuring out rather quickly, Joe would use any harmonic anywhere on the fretboard or above the pickups depending on the application in a song!
"Morrocan Sunset" / the * album.............this is the stuff you got to get bk to............ just 1 cord leading to a series of tubes......... 7 or 8 pre's a few 83s let em warm up.............
Thanks JS Clone 1. I'll check the site out. Today as I changed the strings on my Jackson I thought to myself "Jackson does a piss ass job making guitars". I've been thinking of trading it in for a JS100, even though I'd be losing money. But if the guitar sounds better, plays better, and stays in tune better, it's worth it. Anyone played or own a JS100? I know it's not as good as a JS1000, or some of the other models, but I'm on a bugget here.
Ovation - LOL! I did notice that the haze seems to slowly be lifting from his head. Either that, or he purchased a new translation keyboard, haha! Anyway, here's a repeat of my post from last month: ****Bad drugs did I*****confused is my head or is it this english translation*****not know I*****straight thinking is hard confusing very*****lick this stamp he said so I did and now this is me******beatnick poet did I become****coffee houses are my life****lots of time I have or why does the damn clock turn backwards***** .............................. How are things going in the studio Joe?
Anyone else notice Adverse's English is slowly getting better and better ;) LOL,
I can understand it now........"Eat the Canoli, shoot the bullet", LOL and Peace all, Mike
stu hamm, i just wanted to say your the reason i got in to playing the bass guitar 7 years ago...i have never heard anybody play it like you. and Satch keep on rocking...
The stupid mistake was to show the pistol silver to the already warned snakers in the other table who would start shooting if we didn't stop swearing at their pride. My big mistake was to allow moscao to fight theoretically against my simple but honest principles, result being spanked violently in the balls and having to get surgery latter (I invented ok). All come to reality now that I have a friend in the dark webpages of SCORPIONS. See you in the morning sun...
Hi everyone. I've been away for a few days. I saw Cheap Trick and Aerosmith in San Jose on the 9th, it was an AWESOME show. Anyway... lydianR - Joe didn't "ditch" Talk To Me because it sounded like Back To Shalla-Bal. He didn't release it (other than on his original 5 song EP) because the master tape got messed up and he couldn't use it for Time Machine. ===== Phatman - Joe is recording the new rock album with Eric on keys, Jeff on drums, and Matt Bissonette (from the album The Extremist) on bass. ===== Guitarart7 - That t-shirt company went out of business a long time ago. I imagine we'll get a new online t-shirt once Joe starts working on tour merchandise. ===== njbeast - As far as I know, you can get The Beautiful Guitar as an import from CDNow. ===== JS Clone 2 - Well you finally got The Secret Jewel Box...cool. :-) Did you unscrew the bottom yet? ...Austin...
Barrie - That would be awesome to jam in person with the 3 of us. I gotta work on my scales though, cuz right now I'm just beginning to creep my way out of the pentatonic box. It's driving me nuts not knowing the modes and all that stuff. I understand a lot about music, but I think the modes are intimidating me right now. When you do a whammy squeal do you put your thumb over the 22nd fret for the harmonic? Is that what you meant? Cuz, right now, that's what I do until I can get the harmonic just right with my picking hand. BTW, I GOT THE SECRET JEWEL BOX YESTERDAY!!!!!!!! IT's unbelievable! Remember the movie "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey"? Well, you know when they play air guitar when something cool happens? STEVE VAI PLAYED THOSE LICKS!!! He arranged every single one of them into one song, it's a big mess, but it's so cool.
Joe: I went out to find lisf and wound up getting Time on cd.!!!!!! Once I get some $ comming in from college, i'll catch up on gettint the rest of your albums.
Ricky: I cut another copy of my cd for you. I have a student who plays, and his stuff takes a grain of salt. He's like Vai, Way out there. Very emotional. I'll spring some on you next time.
Matt: Glad to see you're out there playing. Once I get healthy, I'll start my sonic damage. Break a leg at the next gig.
Gary: How's the sax? Start playing any "White Trash"? Look them up.KTF Randell

Hey Joe, I was just wondering if and when you will put out an instructional video....many many many people would love it!
Thanks for your music Joe!
HTSUI....yes Love Thing is very emotionally intense....perhaps that explains why 'Adverse' has trouble with his words !!--- If you look him up , he has Love Thing down as his favourite song ! My thought's for a new song title for Joe is 'Rosy Red Fingers '. What do you think ?? Have a good weekend Joe & everyone,luv anibur ****
Hi Joe!! Could you describe how do you hold your pick, please? I've noiticed the difference between yours, Steve's and Malmsteen's.. Thanks a lot! U RULE!

Hello Joe ... I'm your biggest Mexico City fan and I think I'm speaking on behalf of every fan on Mexico ....
Just wanted you to know that we are still looking forward to have you visit us .... Have you and your team re-scheduled this visit ? If so, when can we expect to have you ? Thanks !!!
Hey Joe, where you going with that guitar in your hand. Wanted to let you know that I loved Live in San Francisco, bought two copies. One for myself and the other for a good friend. We just love it. Thank You for the inspiration. You make me get off my lazy butt and practice. Jeff
Hi Joe,
Hope you and the family are keeping well.
Any thoughts on making the webcast available to actually download instead of just stream?
Us 56k modem users have no chance to see it with all the jerking around, stop/starting and bad picture quality when streamed.

Hiya all! This is Jay calling from faraway in the middle of absolutely NOWHERE. In the army now, as they say.. ;) Man, the officers are SOOO full of s*it here sometimes. And then again when you least expect it, they are nice to you. Mostly s*it though. I miss my guitar (Purple Donnie) unbelievably much!! When I get the first weekend off and get home, i'm gonna crank the volume on my amp WAY high so that the windows blow out and play some rocking tunes!! :):):) happyhappy tralala. Ah, but time to go now again, for some march or whatnot. Take care, JoeLand, and keep rocking. To Joe: my spirit is with you in the studio. Can't wait. Jay out.

HAHA! My guitar ("Psych") is now famous! Matt K. played it for one Satch cover song ("Luminous Flesh Giants") during a recent concert at The Saint in New Jersey. The One and Only, John Riccio, was also in attendence and had very cool comments with regards to said instrument. A wonderful time was had by all. **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
RUBESTER: JA JA JA!!! Oh man, that gift really sucked, huh?? Sorry for not answering sooner but our internet´s been down at work this week, so I´m doing this from my parent´s home. Nuevo año, asi que a ponerle duro mi chavo!! MEX-PEAT!! ======Eric Johnson tonight. Let´s see if he NOW signs my G3 96 t-shirt. Already has Vai´s signature, so I´ll keep my fingers crossed!!

Hi Joe, I am fully prepared to be blown away by your new cd..........You know,
after playing my guitar last night, I realize that i play WITH my guitar more
than i actually Play it.....with enough cool, electronic stuff even a half
assed player like me can keep entertained for hours, I love it.............
.........You rule Joe......Later
KenC-yeah I remember a magazine article that had both Joe & Allan Holdsworth together in it years ago, where Joe did say he had admired and tried to incorperate much of Allan's techniques for himself. Allan was & is quite something as a player. The ultra smooth 'modern' legato sounds we associate today with players like Satch & Vai - Allan was doing back in the mid Seventies... No wonder Eddie was floored by his style. VIOLENT - yeah man, even though what I've heard (rhythmically) on the piano using rubato was quite different. When it comes to the guitar and phrasing, any sensitive musician would use it... hesitating notes, speeding up others, coupled with stressing notes is the essence of phrasing. You can take one phrase & make a ton of variations out of it... very cool.
Joe's tearin' up the studio, count on it. This is gonna be quite a year. A new album and tour (in-your-face rock, no less!), Star Wars II, LOTR II, some sweet new console games (Mario Sunshine, etc.), what else?
Joe, my husband and I were lucky enough to purchase a G3 autographed guitar at the 98 Rock Childrens Home Aution in Tampa (Ibanez JS100). We are thrilled!!!!!! We were wondering if you might have a photo signing it. We are building a display case and would love to add that to the case. I have ordered a G3 poster and already have the CD. We love your music.
FLACO...your tribute sounds interesting. You could try sending your tape to J. Satriani c/o Bill Graham Management, 260 5th Street,San Francisco, CA 94103. This was a contact address a couple of years ago, I don't know if it still is today. Of course it's another thing if you you ever hear back from them !!! MICHELLE...I am sure if we all ask him nicely, Joe would have you on stage ,(to the left) next time he plays in New York.It could be G4 !!! later...luv anibur***

Sound's like a great idea Matt! I'd like to see it, and I'm sure everyone here would like to also :)...."Just GO for it"!!.......Patiently waiting to get a cable hook-up, hmmmmm.....JOE: Is MATT still sporting a short haircut, or is he back to the day's of "Summer Song", LOL....I'm sure you guy's are rockin'!!

Barrie (plum loco) - haha yeah it's true! Had to set the thing up the night before! :) Guitar was damn nice to look at...even nicer to play! Anyone coming down for the COE gig at the stone pony? :) We got JR Riccio performing a tune with us...the completed version of "A Walk Amongst the Stars"! Finally arranged! Completed tonight as a matter of fact! COE album soon! Anyone interested in a VCD/DVD of the COE concert at the stone pony?
Matt King!! Is it true that you once borrowed Ken Campbell's custom painted js1000 for one of your concerts?? Biggest Js!! Glad you liked my guitar, been practicing the whammy scream. Using my left thumb or pointer finger as I press onto the whammy, I was trying to do it as a pick harmonic, just wasn't working that way! needs practice, but a guy like me has tons of time to deal with! Still love the crazy multi-dive I was pounding on though....hee hee!! We'll have to Jam in the spring "In person" along with Eric and maybe even your band that you jam with.....make our own vid!! G3G....that's "3 guitarists in a garage" Matt King! I'd love to jam with ya in person too but you're New Jersey or close to it I'm assuming, and I'm in Central Ontario "Orillia" about 120km North from Toronto! Snow's melting here! Green grass popping through......poor little snowmobile riders!!!! hee hee!

Joe,
Do you think that you will ever gig around Columbus, Ohio? I'm really not able to see anything out of Ohio, and I know a lot of fans that are stuck just like I am. We absolutely love your music, and listen to it everyday. We'd love to be able to see you play live. Thanks...
Hey Joe,
When exactly are the fan t-shirts going to be available again? How about maybe some hats, stickers, and picks too? That would be awesome to have available on the website and I'm sure it would generate alot of interest. I want one of those t-shirts though!!! Keep on rockin', Joe. :)
DEAR JOE,
WE ARE A COUPLE OF WEEKEND MUSICIANS,THAT DECIDED TO DO A TRIBUTE TO YOU, OUT OF APPRECIATION FOR YOUR YEARS OF GREAT MUSIC AND INFLUENCE..WE WROTE A SONG "HEAVY SUNDAY (TRIBUTE TO JOE)", IT WAS A SPONTANEOUS ,SINGLE TAKE, THAT WAS RECORDED IN MY LIVINGROOM. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE 40 AND HAVE WIVES AND KIDS RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO RECORD, ONE TAKE IS USUALLY ALL WE GET!..IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO SEND YOU AN MP3..PLEASE LET US KNOW THE ADDRESS YOU WOULD LIKE IT SENT TO.........FROM TWO OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS, RON (drums)AND JIM(guitars)......WE LOVE YA',,MAN!!!
7 string JS? Thats new, does such a thing exist yet? I wonder what Joe's next CD will sound like, if it'll be a techno kinda thing again, or if he'll go back to the rock sound. Maybe he'll do something jazzy, since everyone's been talking about jazz lately. Personally, I hope to hear something new and different, like when EOC came out. Always push the envelope.
Clarky - Yeah, that's true. I don't normally play the I-IV-V-I with legato in my scales on piano, but it's just an example that I thought of. It's not a very good one. Oh well, I tried. Legato is used almost everywhere in piano. Probably a lot in guitar that I don't pay attention to. I think MANY people assume legato is ONLY what people play in the big solos. Stuff like FIABD solo. I'm just rambling on now. I'll stop.
Phatman: I heard or read somewhere that Matt Bissnet was supposed to do the bass on the upcoming album. Jeff will be on the album if I'm not mistaken as well.
Hey Joe - haven't heard from you in a while - the 7 string JS sounds pretty cool, has it affected the look of the guitar? I've been trying to buy a chromeboy but i've been too worried about shipping from australia to the UK - does anyone have any thoughts on this? The only other i can find is £4000 which is just a bit excessive if you ask me - - i would neveer have that sort of money to spend. My only hope now is if Joe would swap a black JS-1 (Serial 1156) with a buddy of mine so i would at least get access to one but that's just a dream... Hmmm the offer's open anyway. See ya, Tom
hey Sir Paul....howzit goin..howzit goin...
that's kuul thingie bout rubato u said. i myself prefer to hear rubato style players...when it comes to the funky or bluuz rhythms or backgrounds in that vein...
for me...a very kuul legato player is Brett Garsed. also T.J. Helmerich....duud's purty smooth.....
but for rubato style players...satch's got tons of rubato up his sleeve. also da man, ...steve lukather. steve da man. there is tons of rubato style stuff especially on his solo albums. very kuul behind the beat playing.....and also speakin' of another duuudie....Robben Ford. rubato ph.d. ....i saw some stuff of him trading back and forth with George Duke...in Miles Davis band....purty happenin' stuff.
for the 'neo' flavour to rubato...check out Kee Marcello. He does purty kuul rubato playing, especially on 'out of this world' album. way kuul.
but here is a catch....when u 'swing'....is it considered rubato? to have that 'triplet' feel...(without a middle triplet)...and organize it into the groups of fours...the standard...du--ga ..du---ga...phrasing...becomes interesting to spice up solos ..especially if the triplet feel is not played simply as a scale...but bending and vibrato are also incorporated into this. ...robben ford stuff...perfect example. ...also check out a player called Dave Goodman...purty kuul stuff...
latah./
Good catch there anibur, LOL ;)....Yes, Clarky is 'da man!! It's like getting a music lesson everytime he post's, very well thought out and informative!....
Wish I could go to the show Matt!....You'll have my support across the miles dude :)......BTW, I wonder if Mr. Webmaster or JOE are thinking about the Satch fan song name idea??....LOL, and Peace all, Mike
hey ken i know what you mean about legato,if it aint smooth it aint good!.
ps last wish is really cool man. cya chris. [htpp://www.btinternet.com/~christopher.jago/}#]please check it out.. {;~)
The fascinating thing about the latest poll is that the fans are more interested in Joe himself and what he is about than the music! I think that is a great sign of Joe's uniqueness and the fascination fans have for him, as well as his music. Keep coming out to meet us after shows Joe - I forgive you for not doing so in Atlanta! I can't wait to hear the new rock album. Ronnie
Didn't Joe more or less develope his legato from adopting some of Alan Holdsworth's techniques. I remember reading an interview in some magazine where he talks about really being inspired by Alan's style and not wanting to always pick every note. Hmmm.....perhap I'm wrong. *shrug* All I can say, is anyone who can legato that smoothly (Yes MATT! I'm talking about you! *smile*) and have it add meaning to the tune is truely a gifted player. I WISH I was even close to being able to do it. **Peace** KenC. [htpp://kencampbell.iuma.com]
Clarky - Friend, thanks for the music lesson. That was quite a workout of typing, but I'm glad you posted it. Whenever you give an in-depth description of musical terms I always learn from it. I was a off to describe legato as 'out of time' because it IS in time, rather what I meant was that it had a rather 'floating' or 'flowing' type quality to it (much like Joe's ball of mercury description)Joe's solo, say, in Flying in a Blue Dream could be an example - It would have been much different if he played all the same notes and picked them all... Your description of the 3 note per\string legato (which I use a fair bit) described this effect well... I still tend to think of fast, slightly muted alternate picking techniques as 'staccatoish' playing, since using the pick causes the notes to sound 'clipped'. But, yes - these are basically 'shredder' definitions. There was a time when a saxaphone player demonstrated what he reffered to as his 'staccato' technique- by using quick sharp little breaths (versus a long one) to cause each note to 'pop' out in a similar clipped manner... Well folks, I don't know about you, but I'll say this much - I find this kinda musical-education talk FAR MORE interesting & informative than the "so & so is better than.." & "I @*# on your mom" crap that's been here of late... thanx all!
Ga6o - Satch also picks in parts of the solo for Can't Slow Down. I noticed some picking runs in Secret Prayer and also in Time Machine. I have an mp3 of Joe playing Crushing Day live. The tempo is a little faster than normal so you get to hear him push the picking. There are also some pretty difficult arpeggios in Until We Say Goodbye ... or at least I think so last time I heard it. It's been a while since i've listened to EOC.
I would like Michelle to play Lights in Heaven in concert too !! LOL. On another note, if anyone wants to catch the 'Jimi Hendrix ' Story , tune in to www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 on Saturday at 8pm (London time), 12pm (lunch-time) San Francisco time.You will need realplayer for this.........TURN IT UP in that Studio Joe, we can't hear you in here !! Luv anibur***
Afternoon everybody, was just wondering who's in Joes band for the new album. Are Stu and Jeff still playing, or are any new/old faces showing up? As for the Legato debate, its just an italian term to describe a peice of music that is played smoothly, nothing to do with timings or anything, it just so happens that hammer-ons and pull-offs are the best way of expressing this on a guitar. Thats my take on the whole thing anyway. Anyhoo.... Catcha all later, S 'later.
Craig - Man, haha thanks dude :) I didn't want to post that on here and get flamed for posting a show date on www.satriani.com :) Thanks you though my friend! I really can't wait to see you down here man! Melzie - you coming down for this :) ANYONE IN THE NJ AREA - COE will be playing at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park on February 20 (wednesday evening) We are asking for support from anyone who could possibly get there as this place looks empty with even 100 - 150 ppl! Send me some mail if you are intersted! Thank you guys ever for all of the support so far, it is insane! Later...
Hi Michelle. I wish you would play Lights of Heaven in concert. It seems like you are trying to say something in that song. It is my FAVORITE song of course to listen to and play. Well, I just wanted to say hi....Very shocked that there seems to peace here on satriani.com....Hi Melzie! Leave a damn post and tell Joe hello! He see's all of these post I am sure! Hi Matt, I am looking forward to your show in Ferbuary! For those of you who don't know, and I don't care if Matt gets mad at me for blabbering, he is having a show in Jersey and everyone who lives near jersey or New York should go. The kid is f*cking amazing and you would be stupid not to show up and support him! Later people...happy surfing....Oh how could I forget....Sup BIGGEST...
el tweeto, Welcome to the SATCH site :)......Good point there Gabe....It's great to hear Legato, but mix it up a little more so we WONT be able to "expect
the unexpected" ;)....Man, we got some great discussion goin' on here about JAZZ, Legato, Staccato and the like!!...Love reading what everyone has to say, and Sir Paul, that quote from JOE (Guitar World) remind's me of Kwai Chang Kane's Sensei...."When you can grasp this Legato from my hand in one rythmic, fluid, and seamless touch.....You will have learned"! ;)......BTW, did anyone read the article in Guitar World on Vito Bratta...."Where is he now"??..As many of you know, he got tired of being told what to do in the '80's (look like this, play like this, etc, etc.) and took a long 4-5 yr. hibernation from the guitar!....He tried to get back into it in '95(?) and jumped right into playing Classical....Playing scales as fast as he used to in the past w/o building up his tensile strength, and ignoring all the rules of playing correctly (AND 14 hrs. a day!)....One nite he was lying in bed with the guitar on his chest and holding his hand in an awful position and felt something snap in his wrist!!..He
couldn't move his hand left to right....Since then, he can't play, and is now contemplating surgery....Sad story!! Sorry to tell it here, but Vito was (and
is) AWESOME!! Maybe it will help someone here on the site to not overdo it and risk getting a career ending injury!....I will stop rambling now!!..SOTD:"RADAR
LOVE"....White Lion Version!! LOL and Peace all, Mike
JS2- I understand what you are trying to describe but using a chord progression for this purpose is quite misleading. Also, legato would not really be required during the suspension progression that you described unless indicated on the score by the composer. Another little point is that I-IV-V-I is not a cadence. In your example I-IV are 'apporach' chords [but not cadencial]. Chords V-I make the actual 'perfect cadence'. All cadences involve two chords and all suspensions involve three. ============== MMO2 for 3G
Legato folks- Legato and staccato are logically opposite to each other. Legato means that the sounding duration of a note is exactly as scored for the full duration. Under normal circumstances there is a tiny silent gap as you move from one note to the next [i.e. on a piano as you lift your finger to move to the next note]. Legato means that there is no little gap. In 'string instrument' terms, it means that the pick / bow only strikes the first note therefore guitars hammer / slur and viols continually bow until the 'arco' markings appear [which means go back to picking / bowing every note]. The sounding attack of the pick / bow at the start of each note is considered to interrupt and therefore reduce the duration of the pitch that is sounding and so it cannot be termed legato as the sounding pitch does not last for the full duration that is scored. The idea that legato has anything to do with 'being outside of the time signature' is not true. That is caused by the phase length being six 16th's long in 4/4 time which sounds like displaced sextuplets and therefore synchopates across the common timing. 'Tappers / shredders' sound like this as playing 3 notes per string is a very common method. Rubato has nothing to do with Legato or Staccato. It means to 'steal time' from the future [but you have to 'put it back']. The idea is that you can slow down the tempo of a phrase gradually for expressive purposes although the common tempo for everyone else remains constant. However, this time must be recovered which means that if there is a long note or rest at the end of the phrase it will be cut short or if there is a series of notes at the end of the phrase it will be played quicker than scored. This ensures that the next phrase is played in the correct place in time once the rubato section has been completed. Staccato is an exageration of the little gap that occurs when playing 'arco'. This tiny gap is therefore greatly increased. It is almost as previously described [in an earlier post by 'Dwatkinson'] but actually a little more extreme. Two staccato 1/4 notes would be played with a duration of a little less than a 1/16 but still with the position in time of two 1/4 notes. Alternate picking by Malmsteen etc is not staccato it is arco. Irrespective of markings legato, staccato, spiccato, rubato etc etc, the execution of all notes intended to be clean and even and 'crisp'. Failure to do that is purely a technique issue and not due to a marking on a score. I know this all reads a little cold so a note for the blind... I'm not ranting or flaming anyone. I'm just trying to provide a little clarification for those that either do not know, or are unsure of this stuff or have learned it incorrectly.. Just trying to help folks a little. So I didn't say that VBIL could do over Satch in a fight easily or that Vai dresses like a school girl at home [although may well do.. this needs to be proved].========================= Aircell for 3G
Vaiolent - I dig your comment on techniques as 'tools' to all be used in the making of music. I tend to think of them as different 'textures' as well...
Dwatkinson - Once again, those definitions of classical terms are all correct. I'm referring, however, to strictly modern GUITAR techniques based on those terms - not the purely 'classic' definitions - as there are differences more than likely, as well as from instrument to instrument. And no - I haven't confused legato & rubato. Whereas I think in terms of legato as more of a single-note at a time soloing technique(guitar wise)... Rubato on the other hand is a kind of 'free flowing' or displacement in a RYTHMIC sense. I don't know of too many guitarist who strive to practice Rubato in a guitaristic sense, but a perfect example on piano lies in many of Chopins' works...
Here's an excerpt from a Satch interview in GUITAR WORLD that kinda describes his thoughts on soloing I found interesting... LEGATO PHRASING: "I like to think of the vamp as an endless desert and the improvisation as the blowing wind and shifting sand dunes. When I solo over such a modal vamp, I often think of just rolling a lot of notes around," Joe explained, referring to the legato phrasing he employs throughout the solo. "When I'm doing this kind of thing, I'm not just playing nonsense. Look at it this way: You know how mercury is-you can roll it around in your hand, and it constantly changes shape as you move and direct it to different places. Well, soloing is like that for me. It's unpredictable in a way, dealing with the notes as if they were part of a fluid rolling body. This approach enables me to make my point in different ways. Now, if everyone in the band were to take this same approach, the net result would be a chaotic mess. But if I'm working with a steady beat and a solid bassline and harmonic foundation behind me, the approach works very well."
Hey Joe! How about some 'demo' samples from the new album? :-) I know, that'd spoil it haha just a thought! I think LydianR had a good idea though! Why don't you have a poll, and let fans come up with a song title, and you can write us a song to go with it! Release it as a bonus track on the new release only available off satriani.com or something! That'd be cool man! Well, hope all is well! Later...
it seems some people are unsure of legato and staccato. Staccato means short notes, with a gap between, like you play one note every eighth note but each note only sounds for a sixteenth, with a rest of a sixteenth between each. Legato means you play one eighth note eery eighth note and each note lasts for a full eighth note. The dictionary definition of staccato is "Separate. Sounded in a short, detached manner " whereas legato is "Smooth and connected ". These came from http://www.contracosta.cc.ca.us/music/terms.html. The "almost out of time" thng is people incorrectly thinking legato means rubato, whose definition is 'From the Italian "robbed". Used to indicate a modification of the strict rhythmical flow. '

But if you only play legatos you also gonna get bored whit them. The only part y can remember, Satch use a speed picking on a scale its on "Crushing Day". I would really want to hear him playing more stuffs like that on the new record. Its kind of strange but you know? I realiza another strange thing: I NEVER hear Satch strumming some chord progression on a song whit an electro acoustic guitar or even whit a guitar. I mean, he plays funky chords on "why" or " You hear a banjo on "Rubina´s blue sky...." You always gonna hear the back guitar playing each string, one at a time. Like in "Always whit...." I supose its not his style, not Satch style playing a song like Dream Theater "Regression"....it would be interesting to hear that too....
legato technique is a TOOL. when people strictly focus on alternate picking, they just limit the tools they can use to make music.
legato has a sound on its own. so does alternate picking. Neither one really matters. if musical idea doesn't work, it doesn't matter HOW u play it. music ideas come BEFORE the execution of it. alternate picking has specific sound to it...and so does legato. to heavily approach music from a purely technical point....ie focusing JUST on legato or alt.picking,...probably ends up sounding BORING. ...typewriting.
music ideas come before the execution. however, to execute musical ideas...one should pay attention to the CONTEXT. if the context requires legato...play legato. simple as that. if it requires 'few notes'...play few notes. if it requires momentum..and building up to a climax of a solo...then do whatever calls for it. that 'inner voice' tells u what should be applied.
musicians who 'preach'...play legato only, or alt picking only...are technicians. as one piano duude once said....there is a difference between technique and mechanique.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but legato passages in piano or guitar have no break in them, so to speak (holding notes, chord progressions, scales etc). For example, in piano (pianists would probably understand this a little better than others who don't play) when you play the I-IV-V-I cadence in let's say C major, you would start on the 1st inversion of C maj. Then progress to root position F maj, then 2nd inversion of G major, then back to 1st inversion of C major perhaps with a C octave to sound fuller. In the first progression when doing so with legato, you would hold the high C and move to F major, but only lifting up your fingers from the E and G. This way may be clearer: C E G and FAC are the root positions. First inversion of C maj is E G C. Sooooo, you would play E G C, then F A C and hold C the entire time. That's not really the way I'm supposed to play it for my teacher, but it's the best example I can think of right now. Does this make sense to anyone?
Biggest Fan - The definition you brought up is absolutely correct! Think about it, if you were playing some extended passages using legato, and the notes you were playing weren't played cleanly and EVENLY - then it would sound at best like some nifty hammer-ons & pull offs (the old eddie thing)...and at worst, like garbled, childish playing. Legato (like staccato) MUST have clean and PERFECTLY EVEN notes... despite that, when done right, it has the unusual quality of sounding as if it's 'outside' of a time signature... weird huh? One of my early exercises for learning to play legato involved what I call 'CIRCLES'. Take a pattern of six notes on two strings in any position.. (like one perhaps from the Gilbert videos you mentioned) and play those notes ascending and decending over & over again... try to imagine with those notes a perfect circle unbroken, where every note is perfectly even... It may help to barre the index finger over both strings, rather then 'jumping' back and forth which could cause 'a break in the pattern' and in that case, the only note picked would be the first on the second string while ascending. LydianR's description of 'classical' legato is a good one. Keep in mind, however, that what I'm describing is the application of the technique as it applies TO THE GUITAR. I don't mean to bag on Get a loaf at all... he's made some good comments - But when he said something to the effect of thinking Satch was MUCH better than Vai, because Vai used that 'ol legato too much... it struck me as too absurd to let pass... when in fact it's Satch who tends to use legato-style playing more...

Mr Satriani in my mind U are very specific man and very strange some type of a musical alien , don't you think so? You're mad. How can you play that way on your guitar I'd like to play like U don't you mind me sayin' this words. You can say WTF but it is my dream. I'll be very HAPPY :D if you answer this comment. thanx a lot.
1. I recently ordered Guitar Secrets by Joe Satch ( http://www.activemusician.com/images/store/full/HL_02506305.jpg ). While I'm waiting for it to come in the mail, can anybody who's read it tell me what they thought of it on a scale of 1 to 10 and why? What sort of tips, tricks does it cover?
2. My brother recently bought a Squier Stagemaster. It has a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo system and he wants to know if it's safe to take out the padding block thingie that's located under the bridge. I don't know that much about Floyd Rose systems, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the support of the bridge. I think he wants more stretching capabilities or something.
P.S. Thanks to lydianR (ryan bull) for the reply to my last post.
P.P.S. Nobody replied to the question I had about the webcast though. Will they be showing it again in another format other than quicktime?

GET A LOAF, I think you miss the point about legato, y'see it has been around for hundreds of years, and is a technique that is firmly routed within the western musical system.It comes from the italian word, and in CLASSICAL terms it means to play SMOOTHLY....Joe Satriani simply adapted this technique for use on the guitar, so for you to say LEGATO is unoriginal is to question the very relevance of western musical theory and history, which is a pretty BOLD STATEMENT!!.....JS CLONE1, "lum lum" is a jazz song that joe wrote for GREGG BISSONETTE'S(sp?)solo album, its absolutely the dogs bo11ocks!!^_^You can get it from:www.audiogalaxy.com...(you can also get the ultra rare fifth joe satriani e.p song "TALK TO ME" on audiogalaxy.com too,and its the best of the lot!!You'll see why joe REALLY ditched it too, 'cause the ending is exactly the same as "BACK TO SHALLA BALL"!!
hey phatman - sounds like you should change your bedsheets more often - LOL. ** my momma always taught me that if i don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all... but dammit, i have to say that i am really not diggin' vai's "alive in an ultra world" cd's. i know this is probably the worst place in the world to make a comment like that. i mean c'mon... zzzzzzzz. it doesn't hold a candle to "live in san fran" (not that i want more of the same - but, something similar anyway). what if joe would've stopped and said "hey, we gotta do that again so we can digitally correct it later" or "damn, i'm outta tune - hang on a minute". don't get me wrong, i still respect steve very much... but for some reason, it has always taken me a *long* time to warm up to a new vai record. sorry, i'll go take a flying leap now......

Bavorak-how a person holds a guitar pick depends on the shape of their hands.
The idea is that the pick stricks the string on the flat sides, and not at angles.
Hi Joe!!
Could you describe how do you hold your pick, please? I've noiticed the difference between yours, Steve's and Malmsteen's.. Thanks a lot! U RULE!
hi folks, i am a new member on this site ......i think it's pretty cool so far.......although i would really like to see an anouncement real soon saying that joe is ready to hit the tour scene again......or one that says hey good news the new satch album will be out next week!!!!.......oh well i guess that's just wishful thinking.......el tweeto out.
Did anyone suggest "Satch 7.0" for an album title yet? Seems familiar. Joe, I'd like to take this time to formally request that you play EACH and EVERY song from the new album on the next tour. Please? Oh, and do Kelly a favor and make a stop in Kansas. And don't forget Australia this time either, those guys have been waiting forever. Thanks.
KEITH HANSON i liked what you guys did with "MMMbop" the whole "3 car garage" album was cool. i don't have a problem with your band so don't create one please! i just post and toke. even the CLONES have toked with me. come ride wid me, toke wid me come be like me i got the flow OG. like that litty ditty hanson? you guys can use it in your next album, the keyboard player would look good singing my lyryx. lets do lunch.
Still waiting for The Secret Jewel Box. I'm getting really angry about this now. Anyone else waiting for there's to arrive? I think they've got it in for us because we're Canadian......."Hey, they're dollar is low, they won't mind paying and then not getting anything for it". Yeah, the loonie is low, but we need stuff to buy with it. Whatever, see ya.
Get a Loaf - Legato is unoriginal? Are you certain you know what 'Legato' technique is as applied to the guitar? In a soloing sense - it involves playing passages with as little use of the pick as possible, using virtually all hammer-ons\pull offs... The difference between achieving TRUE legato and mere h. ons\pull off licks - is that legato should sound like it doesn't have any specific time signature or rhythm to it. (In other words, you can't really tap your foot to it! It should have a kind of 'flowing water' quality to it..) Where as, if your hammer ons & pull offs have little breaks or unevenness to it - it tends to make it sound 'rythmic' (some of Eddie VanHalens early licks are perfect examples of this) Some people refer to Legato as 'slurring', but I hate that term, as it implys to me 'sloppiness'. The opposite school of playing involves the 'staccato' guys... guys who PICK almost every note. (Yngwie, Paul Gilbert, Steve Morse, John Petrucci, etc.. their playing has a very 'timed' quality to it. - as it should with good picking technique)
Both Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are archetypes of the Legato school of playing. They both pick very little. Joe, in fact, uses the technique even more purely than Vai, who tends to mix up his legato with picked-notes, slides, taps, etc... Joe has even said in the past that he likes to keep his rhythm and bass lines on somewhat 'solid ground'in rock compositions as this provides a good base for him to apply his legato soloing over. (If everything is moving around all over the place - it can get messy) and thus.. his rhythms tend to be a tad simpler than vai's... Legato playing is also ETREMELY common to jazz - horns and guitar playing. (exp. Allan Holdsworth for guitar)

JS Clone1..I hope you didn't take my comment in a bad way. PETER MULAS, I have that cd..it's really good.....and as far as the " rip off licks" thing ..that's just silly.Nobody owns the fretboard. why not just flame Joe for using some Hendrix or Jeff beck licks?
CLARKY, The chord change you refer to in steve vai's "tender surrender",is an altered V chord.The tonality steve picks to go over it is a pretty standard jazz scale, the "Super locrian"(the super locrian scale is the 7th mode of the "melodic minor" scale).Have you heard "LUM LUM" by joe satriani? Its an all out jazz tune, and its a very convincing and atmospheric piece.Also what about the chorus in "Time"? Surely you can't say that is a typical progression!!But even though it has an extreme esoteric quality to it, it still retains a strong melodic flow, which most jazz tune lack!!ALSO CAN US FANS PICK AN ALBUM TITLE FOR JOE TO WRITE A BONUS TRACK TO?WEBMASTER, CAN'T YOU RUN A POLL TO SEE WHICH IS THE BEST?^_^

hey joe whats up? when you next tour are you looking for someone to surport you? i am working on my own stuff at the mo when i have done i will send you a cd, will e mail me an address that i can send it to, i think you will like my stuff but only you can say. please let me know, like you all i want to co in life is play the guitar and i hope you give me a chance ta

To Joogida: You´re right, we just have to listen to Joe´s album "Joe Satriani"
to figure this! It´s mainly a Blues album!
But if we want to go a little further , any album from Joe tends to have a
different style from the previous:
Joe Satriani - Blues
Crystal Planet - Hard Rock
Engines of Creation - Electronic
That´s whats amazing in this guy!
P.S: Let´s not forget about the grandfather of guitar players: JIMI HENDRIX!
Rest in Peace wherever you are!

Is the Dogs Bollox!!!!!!!!!!!!) Now I am a happy chappy.

However, please spare a thought for all those white folks working at McDonalds.
They could play the blues all day long!!!! Then again, never heard any real
blues from a Mexican, so the fast food industry in the USA can't be that bad!!!!
Finally, for all those people wanting to see some blue, given that Joe has only
spent two days in the studio, it ain't really going to happen - is it? I would
rather he spent more time in the studio and less time on here as it may mean his
next album is a vast improvement from Engines. Which, let's face it, is less

Hi
HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope the studio stuff is going well. My 2 cents on the JAZZ discussion. Joe has done a number of "Fusion" tunes. Joe himself has said that he can play what he plays and Vai can play anything. There is no contest in music - leave that cr*p to MTV etc. Joe, I know you wanted to prove yourself in most genre of music. You know you have (in spades) and I know you have. I really don't think I want you to do reggae, rap or other stuff (although I know you would excel). I want you to continue to play whats in your soul Joe. No need to prove anything. Music is communication, celebration, enjoyment and fun - ther's no need for anything else.
Love

Right-on fjuuzion! It certainly boils down to emotion! :)....Playing guitar seem's to come out alot like the way you dance....rhythum wise, reaching that inner soul and just releasing the emotion's onto the string's....JOE does that better than anyone for me :)....Eric Johnson is right behind...."MANHATTAN"!! It doesen't get any better than that, LOL!!....But, there are those day's when I love to crank out my old "RUSH", DLR-"HALEN", "ELP", "YES", all kind's of Contemporary Jazz: Stern, Chris Comosy, Chielo Minucci....just to name a few..

Joe, having trouble sleeping with all those song ideas running through yer
head?.I wish i could play the songs that i think of when im almost asleep,
but the next morning i can't remember them, but the sound killer in my
head. Does this happen to anyone else?....good night..
Possible song title for Joe? How about Air of Serenity. Actually, that's one of my song titles but if Joe really needs it I guess I can hook him up. Anyone heard anything more about Prog X? Later all, Tru.
Does the name Danny Gatton ring a harmonic in the minds of shredders here?Poor guy off'ed himself because he did'nt get the attention(credit) he deserved.Music can be a powerful influence.Good & bad!
FUSION5000- surfs up dude! i got a confirmation email from amazon.com saying my order of the video "FUSION5000 plays becker: instructional video and tricky ripoff licks" will arrive in about 2 to 4 weeks. i checked the "Customers who bought this title also bought:" link and all i saw was "Richard Simmons - Sweatin' to the Oldies " and " William Shatners Rescue 911 outtakes collector's edition DVD" neither of them interested me but im looking forward to your video man, i hope i can be as good as you! i would ask my friend's cousin but he is busy selling his box sets off the side of his harley davidson which doesn't belong to him anymore cause he sold it on ebay. the box set featuring the red ibanez guitar he also sold on ebay.seems as if mr. vai is descending on hard times these days. BIGGEST JS CLONE 1 do you need any help getting your home video on the internet? did you know you look just like that bishop kid who flew the plane into bank of america in miami? i heart sank when they flashed his picture on the tv! i thought the world lost a guitar god. first jimi, then SRV then BIGGEST JS CLONE 1. i was almost ready to throw my guitar down and give up until i logged onto talk to joe and seen that you posted 49 times the day it happened so i knew it couldn't have been you. do you give lessons man? are you going to be releasing an instructional video like FUSION5000 too? like based on MATT KING ripoff licks instead of jason becker? i would order one. take care my brother from the great white north. VAIS COUSINS MAILMAN: "i came in peace. i raced to the scene of the crime"
GET A LOAF - Dead on man. A lot of people seem to think Joe is more competent as a jazz player over Vai. Well first of all (as I mentioned before and many f you probably know) Joe's music teacher, Lenny Tristano, was a jazz (and beebop) pianist. Also, you can hear a lot of jazzy licks in his playing. ................. LKAOS - I agree. Eric Johnson is an excellent guitarist. He's one of the only guys that can really play a mean solo but also brings some very nice chordal melodies into his LIVE show rather than just soloing. Joe does it aswell in Lords of Karma, Raspberry Jam Delta-V, Clouds Race Across the Sky and many others. I think Joe should definately bring back some tunes from his first 4 albums. Memories always blows my mind. Circles... CIRCLES! ... So many GREAT tunes that Joe has to bring back to the live show. Lords of Karma... oh man I could go on and on but i'll save that for another T2J post.
i watched the fast & the furious DVD like 3 times since last night, the movie is awesome....i dig i dig i dig.... hey everyone does joe have a middle name ? what is it? i thought i knew it but i guess i didnt....probably one of those things where ill slap myself in the forehead and go "doh"
For you Ibanez JEM lovers, here is the new JEM for the Ibanez house, take a look: http://jemsiteforum.com/sharefiles/index.php?action=viewimage&image=JE M7V-SBL.jpg I like it, not as much as the 7VWH but...
...u don't have to be of any 'background' to be poor.....therefore, all u have to do is pickup a geetar and play.
but..lots of bluuz is about 'glamour'.... in fact ...TONS of it...is glamour oriented.
i don't buy the 'bluuz lifestyle' mentality. lots of bars are drugs oriented, and there are lots of musical circles that are sort of 'mafia' oriented...u know....not really based on MUSICAL MERIT but connections.
in the end...to each his own. personally....i like to put on albert king...'phone booth' album..or 'funky london'...and Lucky Peterson stuff....but still like to hear kuul Ravel or Debussy piece, ...or on another day...might listen to django's records all day long.
lots of people use music to 'escape' so instead of talking bout the misery in their life....they make happy sounding music.
as one geetar duude once said....there are 2 types of composers.....one ..who's wife has died, lost the house, all the money...and he will make happy music to escape...and the other.....who's wife has died, lost the house, all the money...and will try to make u feel as bad as he does...;)
To put it simply, the Blues is an African American art form AND lifestyle. Sorry but no white guy can agonize over the work his slave owner is making him do. The most emotional blues song I've ever heard featured limited guitar, but perhaps the most emotional lyrics and vocal performance ever recorded. It was a black man living in prison for a crime that he most likely didn't commit. He sang about never being able to see his family or kids ever again and of his imminent death on the prison work team. You could hear him doing his best not to cry. The first blues ever recorded, in August, 1920, featured no guitar whatsoever. The point is, surely a few white guys can "play" the blues, but it's not just a music genre. You LIVE the blues...you don't necessarily "play" them.
awesome higain!! yea vai's bro in law cmon its the joe satriani fan site so stop commin in here and gettin everyone pissed off..well good luck in the studio joe and keep us posted! im also tryin to find some lessons with someone who can teach me satch type licks...no luck yet : ( im about a little better than average but i really want to get good so if anyone knows of somebody in va who could help me out email me!! thanks good luck joe...
All the time I've contributed to this page, I've never talked much about my own playing. Well, here's why: I'M A HACK!! That's why I've finally arranged for some real lessons. The guy's name is Dave Bathgate - he's recommended by a friend, he can really shred, (Sorry!!!) and most importantly, he is a HUUUGE Satch fan!! LOL!! I think I'll practice "Love Thing" as an indication of what I'm capable of now. JSClone2 - I'm one of those dudes that stands at the front of department stores, says "Good evening", answers questions, and checks people's bags for stolen goods. Vai's Bro in Law - Just cool off, dude.
Hey Clarky, dude i know about playing through changes (not that i am that GREAT at it). i wasn't arguing that he couldn't play throught hte changes, i was arguing that he can't play with a jazz style. i know Joe can hold his own, but i still think Vai does too much legato crap. legato to me is very unoriginal. however difficult it may be, it just stops being impressive. jazz is a whole 'nother world folks, and i don't think vai could handle it. i don't hear anything of it in his playing (and i do in satch's). i am one to believe that once you learn a style, it flows through even when you aren't expecting it. at least when you are in that "ultra zone". in interviews too, i am not impressed with what he has said, only in regards to jazz though. i am in a jazz combo. it is quite difficult, let me tell you. jazz is much harder than rock. it may not be the be all, end all, but, you might find, later in your life that you will be attracted to its spirit and intelligence. im not quite there yet, i still like rock, and probably always will... but jazz.. wow. how can you beat that?
Joe! I'd love to see you come to Calgary! Bought 'Surfing' in 87 and I've bought everything since. You're a great musician.
I don't play guitar much any more but when I was playing, I tried to imitate you, in the value and the feeling you put into your playing.
You came here a few years ago, I recall but I'd love to see you come again!
A long time fan in Calgary.

There´s only one guy that could claim to be as good as Joe Satriani and that guy is Eric Johnson!
Talking about good guitar players PAtrick Rondat is cool!
And (many might crucify me for this! :-D ) what all of you think about Prince (or what´s his name, nowadays!)?
He not only plays a mean guitar (Good examples are the album "Purple Rain" and "Batman O.S.T" , in this one specifically , "Electric Chair"! )but also can play over 15 other music instruments!
BUT YEAH, JOE SATRIANI RULES!!!!!!
I hate the term guitar shredding. It makes me think of just playing ridiculusly fast notes that sound cool at first, but then you realize there's nothing too it. Yngwie is a shredder, but guys like Joe, Vai, Petrucci, Morse, etc, they're guitar players.
hey ovation...long time no see duuuder....all the best doood! kuul to see u rockin'!
hey mak....as far as 'white boy lives the bluuz'....comment....which art form requires ANY Less?
whether...yellow,red, black or blue...don't matter duude...i did hear tons of duuds of any color that can play any sort of music , that included also bluuz...the whole thingie is that there are doodies outhere with TONS of talent....some doodies shred out on bluuz,...others on classical...some in fjuuzion..others in funk...the thingie being...not being 'real' but 'natural'.
i don't really know what REAL bluuz is...but i can hear...the 'natural-talented' players.
i don't think 'living' the bluuz lifestyle is worth it, ...lots of club owners rip u off...and u end up selling beer...but i think it's kuul to use the talent in the best way possible. .....for ..example...shawn lane lives a 'different kind of bluuz'...and so does holdsworth...it all comes down to playing truly the music that pushes your limits...and that can be any style of music...prog, rock, bluuz, schmooz, funk, shred....whatever...but it boils down to just playing music..going for it all the way....and the only way to do it...is to not play stuff that is 'too comfortable'...so u end up a 'salesman'..but to play music that really challenges u.
...some would argue that pat metheney is not a 'bluuz' player...but who frickin' cares...he plays with tons of emotion...so it doesn't really matter. on the other hand...i have read mags of duuds talking about 'real' bluuz...yet when i heard them play....i have received far more impact from doods like pat. it boils down to 'emotion'...and surely...u can feel it in any style of music..be that bluuz, or computer music. aesthetics, stylistic considerations are just that...TOOLS. tools to get the message accross. whether u use granular synthesis, or a beaten ole cube 60...don't matter...just tools.
Well, let me start by saying yes, Joe and Vai could handle jazz pieces if they worked at them. Actually, ANYONE could "play" jazz if they worked at it. However, there's a difference between actually being able to play the stuff and being a true jazz musician. Sort of like the blues...When Stevie Ray Vaughan had a bad night he would say, "Damn, I sounded so WHITE tonight." Playing something like the blues or jazz involves far more than technical ability. If you're "playing blues" and go to all out shred, like Yngwie, when he tries to play blues, you're just a white boy who can play guitar. Not a bluesman. Jazz is more well placed notes and emotion rather than full shred. I saw John Scofield in concert and it quite obvious that he could play just as fast as Joe or Vai, but he only let out about 2 of these riffs during the entire set. The rest was all well placed notes and jazz grooves. In other words, I'm SURE many guys have the technical ability to play jazz, but they lack the ability to TRULY play jazz...Like the blues, jazz isn't just a music genre, it's a lifestyle and a cache of specific emotions.
Joogida - I do not underestimate Joe. The reason I say probably is just so I don't seem like i'm being biased to him because he is my favourite guitar player either way. I have heard the styles in some of his solos that aren't even jazz songs. He is playing something somewhat jazzy. ........ You guys could also take a song like Down Down Down. It has a very progressive rhythm structure yet he applied a rather bluesy melody and solo. .................................... GUITARPSYCHO - Yngwie can shred and write his neoclassical metal tunes but I couldn't call him amazing. Come on, he plays the same solo nearly every song. Minimal musical elements within his music. Harmonic minor, Phrygian and dimished arpeggios. Not that amazing.
Great Jazzy discussion goin' on here! :)....Good point's there Clarky, and I think that's why "Alien Love Secret's" is one of my fav VAI CD's....Some very Bluesy, Jazzy riff's in there! Also check out his "Christmas Time is here" off "Merry Axemas"....Very Jazzy twist to Copeland's version....The man is a technical genius!....Great to see fjuuzion bloozion back! Great point's there also ;)....And jblaze1: Can't wait to hear your stuff, and good luck with your new project!!....Peace all, Mike
hey dudes, i finally passed my driving test man! i missed 12 out of 15.....so barely, 3rd times a charm....atleast i got over that hill. song of the day - SPACE BOOGIE - jeff beck

JS Clone1...why do you underestimate Joe? what do you mean he can "probably" play jazz? Joe can play ANYTHING...what makes you think he couldn't do anything other than rock? can't you hear all of the elements in his music? later
Man you guys...don't be bashing Yngwie he is an amazing guitarist...without going into the X's and O's of playing the man has plenty of great records...that are far from being just shred..the contexts of his writings are amazing..and of a historical perspective..I happen to be of the old school Shrapnel record label..have heard hundreds of instrumentals...the list is endless..Greg Howe..Ricthie Kotzen..Ron Thal.. to name only a couple..and a lot of guys had several albums before guitar albums were popular. Don't get me wrong...Joe has done some amazing things..Steve too..but hey give these other dudes credit too..when I was a kid..Jeff Beck was all there was..and I count a zillion licks of his on many of Joe's albums...and others...do the math
a kuul thingie bout learning a new style such as jazz...or classical..is that it's a kuul ego demolisher....
u know...u sit in a bedroom ...runnin' the same ole 'tricks' against the metronome...and then badabing badabum....chinka chinka chinka bluuz shuffle with ii-v-i's.....and the mind goes...Blohh??......there goes all the tricks in the first 50 bars of playalong disk...and then come the jazz changes....suddenly e flat diminished...becomes..e flat demolished...;)
soo....there is a kuul thingie in learning jazz...cuz...to LEARN HOW TO LEARN...is way more far out...then just copy licks.
but a danger is.....after u learn it...it's easy to get stuck in rut...(just like with anything else)..and just do the lounge thingie.
but still...learning jazz is a kuul SPRINGBOARD ...to at least begin learning other styles....just like a bridge. the concept of melody, harmony, thematic improv....appears in other styles....so when u learn jazz...u learn bunch of other styles as well at the same time. but the thing is...it can become too predictable...if it sounds just like flat.
satch mentioned he goes for the 'projection' of the bluuz duuds...the delivery of notes...so that's purty important to keep...not to lose the sight of that goal....so...jazz is just like a goal to learn more bout music..but not the end of it...
...u can always spice up a jazz tune with tools stravinsky used...and suddenly make the jazz tune..a prog tune. check out a really kuuul piece by Michael Finnessey..called "plain harmony"....now..that's one purty demanding piece to play. prog.
IF you all want to here some really tasty Jazz,?Check out "Flim & BB's" "New Pants"It is,I think,the most beautiful jazz I have ever heard.Very smooth,melodic & somewhat predictable.Since then I have not been able to find the Album.But now I have a new Bass player for my next CD(which happens to be a jazz player)He is the one who turned me on to it.I'll have it soon enough!..I asked him to play for me on my next project because he understands the concept of Bass Alternate Melodies.Which goes with the guitar melodies but sounds nothing like it at the same time.Does anybody understand that?That is the Edge(not bridge..lol)I am looking for.He also loves hard rock to boot so it sounds promising.Have a nice day!!!!:)
Joe, you are the best. You know I love your stuff. I'm one of your biggest fans. LISF is my most listened to disc/DVD in 2 years. As much as you deserve the recognition, I think "Whispering A Prayer" is an unreal piece of music and should win the grammy. What is more amazing is that Vai played it so much better on the G3 tour then what is on the recording. Oh yeah, the Vai box set finally arrived today. I'm going to pick it up after work.
Joe's teacher was a jazz pianist let's not forget. Lenny Tristano. When you reach the point of musicality that Joe and Steve have both reached (neverminding anything technical) they can probably both handle some as difficult as jazz. They probably know what another guitarist is playing with needing a guitar in their hands to figure it out. They can identify scales, chord tones, intervals, degrees... anything all by ear. That's what any musician should strive for. Some people's minds are so poisoned by shred and Yngwie that they forget about everything. When a musician relies on speed and tech to get him somewhere in music, he has no soul. His music is flavorless. I realize this every passing day and the tension mounts inside me for JOE'S NEW ALBUM!!!!!
The I-say-you is not your friend (my fans). Cap bald white is my friend in the strategies. My woman is friend in my atchin only, not for cult guys. I girls and gals but not bye...send the birds! (The Maddest, they say)
Get a Loaf- dude, I wouldn't be quite so quick to say that Vai can't play jazz and Satch can. The point here is not so much being a 'jazzer' but being able to 'play the changes'. This means playing over chord progressions that pass through many keys [which jazz does do and in general, rock tends not to as it is normally more static in thay respect]. Vai's music tends to be more 'out there' than Satch's. The chord progressions that Vai writes tend to involve more key changes and often in quicker succession than Satch's... A note for the blind folks- I am not saying that all of Satch's tracks are in the same key all of the way through..but feel free to make me laugh some more.. Back to Get A Loaf- In general, from a 'key center' perspective, Satch's chord progressions tend to be more static [and this explains why his music sounds, in general more stable and therefore 'easier on the ear']. Check out Vai's "Tender Surrender".. there is a chord progression about half way through that is 'out and out jazz'. You'll sound pretty rough if you're still breezing around on the Em pento's there...lol. Both Satch and Vai 'play the changes' and it is pretty clearly heard in their music although Vai does a great deal more of it. There is a good and easy way to prove this. Play over some Satch tunes, not what he plays but just go your own way... improvise / shred / whatever... then do the same over Vai tunes.... in general, with the Vai stuff you'll need to do a lot more 'figuring out of key centers' before hand. Another interesting point for the neo-classical folks is to apply 'playing the changes' in a classical sense... take a Bach prelude, figure out the chords, work out the key changes [especially in minor keys where the cadences are], apply it to a backing track / band and then shred your heart out but being careful to play the changes. You'll find that you'll need to be far more aware of what you're playing over [so the one scale fits all tack will not work] but it sounds very very cool..... 'Playing the changes' is quite challenging but it forces you to be aware not only of what you are playing but also your relationship with the backing track.... it will improve your ears, your technique and your theory... very good medicine... ============Mobistar for 3G.
Ya know... i checked my email today after yet another horrendous night, and i was so happy to find a couple of emails from some people on this page who are showing me support through this aweful aweful time. So Paul Clark, Barry Goodwin, and Barrie(Plum Loco) for your post here, thank you so much for actually making me smile. It's one of the only times I have for real in days and days. I don't know if i can do this, but the support and love from some of the people on this page is really making me try harder. So from the bottom of my heart... thank you. love, adam
The corner in front of the xerox Caixinha de Natal (R1 is a lot) is my best view of the 90s real. See me just once that I catch you straght way!
Forgive me Rodolf and Judge, only now I can...it's flying to you catch!
I thank Helen Hunt for playing my case with my best, who needs money overflowing her sniff.
My body is heat, with vomit sensations, sharp reasoning, low attention level to external requests, more stupid than ever, cum defering. I confess, she (band-aid girl) is my b1tch here too. I hope she brings me or that slave called Britney or my friend Jon Buttman fat but smart, he films the lovers. Good bye Europe and forget my friend who got USA (too late!), sorry for not facing him myself All of his admires and proposers. Just hate me, C.
hey duuuuuders....see tons of discussion on jazz here.....but jazz is not 'the' be end of all....for me ...fjuuzion bloozion is sort of 'geetar' thingie ..because just like in rock music, it can sound pretty much 'in the box'..so can jazz sound to syrupy ..and in the box as well. ..u know...duga duga duga duga du du ga du ga.....which is kuuul...but not all the time. geetar.....is more like a 'screaming' quality instrument....and why would anybody want to make it sound like piano....why just not learn the piano..?? ...but u can't bend or vibrate notes with so much subtle range...so for me in fjuuzion bloozion...u get to play the screamin' notes, ala uli, vai, may, satch, johnson..plus..u get the chordal possibilities too. the only problem with jazz or rock...is after a while it becomes a 'stock' instrument. everybody starts playing bends on the same note, plays a stadard lines...and very little experimentation is done....like how many geetar players improvise on alternate tunings?..for eg....string the geetar with a unique set of string gauges..and tuning them specifically for the composition?..... so...why not learn the language for what it is....play the jazz as the jazz duude..and then AFTER THATl..strech out....instead of hitting the cruise ship...;) ... seems to work out for holdsworth and henderson. but it all goes back to bluuuz. as herb ellis said in the vid....any attempt to play jazz...but skipping the bluuz..is meaningless....or something like that....but u can always cheat....if yer amp goes to infinity....or yer hair touches the geetar at the harmonic point...
HI, MY NAME IS DANIEL AND I'M WRITING FROM ITALY. A FEW DAYS AGO I ENTERED THIS PAGE ON BEHALF OF A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP HIM TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEBODY TO SEND THEM A TAPE OF HIS MUSIC. AS A MATTER OF FACT, MY FRIEND HAD BEEN COMPOSING MUSIC, I MEAN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN SATRIANI'S STYLE, FOR A LONG TIME.
THANX
I bought a Behringer 16ch. mixer and a Fred pickup yesterday,Mo money,Mo money. I have thousands of dollars worth of equipment and I don't know if I'm any closer to being the musician I hope to be but I'm having fun.I could buy a new car with the money I've spent on music equipment but it wouldn't give me the pleasure I get from playing music.At one time my wife and I had more money in music equipment then we did in the cars we were driving.How much money is too much to spend on music equipment if your not a pro?Am I ever going to break out of my cage and justify all this money I'm spending? Will this always be just a hobby? Does it matter that I only play for myself or my family and friends?These are questions I ask myself.I want to form a band but I don't want to commit to something I can't finish.I can't quit working and lose everything trying to chase a dream that may never come true,it wouldn't be fair to my wife. So I build a home studio knowing very little about recording, trying to figure it out by myself but it ain't easy.
Drafter37- give a listen toMike Stern's "Play" if you haven't yet. Awesome disk, and a prwtty natural treansition from Satch. Check out the title track or "blue tone" if you want to preview it- good stuff. -Drew
Get a loaf: I agree dude......JAZZ is very technical (as many other types of music are) and you MUST know your Theory!!..AND be able to IMPROV at a moment's notice!....drafter37: Check out MIKE STERN....He's wicked and great to listen to...I don't like listening to the Sax that much, but love the way he play's along right with the Sax; then he goes crazy shredding and bending and tearing up the Melody at the same time, and then descend's back down and you fall flat on your face, LOL :)....Steve Morse is great, and I love his Bach inspired music!!....Electric Guitar Fanfare Monster!!....BTW, Kenny C: Don't take this the wrong way, but dude, you gotta listen to Metheney!! His guitar sound's like a chorus, and his melodic playing is beautiful!!....But, when the card's are on the table, it comes down to JOE for me!! He does it all....And if there we're only one song I could listen to from now to eternity (any of you guy's ever think about that??), it would be "Love Thing" :)....I'll change my mind many times, though....Peace all, Mike
How about the title, Battle Toast?? " kinda goofy"....or "Don't poop in my
toaster" that last one was a joke.....There are some very wicked Jazz players
around, unfortunatley, I have yet to find a style of jazz that i acually enjoy
listening to, Any suggestions??...Some of those country and western boys are
pretty dam good players to, I have an album of Roy Clark (from Hee Haw), man
can that guy ever play, He can play every stringed instrument ever made....
Does anybody like Steve Morse?, I really enjoy listening to him....One more
thing, Who is the worst band ever, Not counting the teenybopper's, My vote
has to go to the Beasty Boys............later
are you kidding guys? JAZZ IS THE HARDEST MUSIC EVER!! playing over chord progressions is insanely hard. Vai couldn't do it. he couldn't punch out chromatics. mark my words. i know Satriani is a jazz player, i wouldn't be surprised if he could hold his own, but i tell ya, a good jazz player can kick any shredder's ass. distortion and whammy bar crap covers up all your mistakes. and, it doesn't matter if you are fast at all. your playing has to have flavor, and it has to be smart playing. shredders laughing at jazz? ha ha. what a bunch of idiots. seriously. put them on the clean channel? BOOM! they automatically suck. isn't it funny how that works? if you know how to play jazz, you already are a hell of a lot better at shredding. anyone heard of Dave Creamer? god, he knocks the socks off some of the best shredders i know. including Avarice, including Vai, (i don't know about Satriani! he is good...) and.. he is the best. i tell ya.....
Leiny - When I said "We may be humans but we're still animals", what I meant was that death is not so significant as animals are born; live then die. A death of some humans may seem like a huge thing but when you get right down to it, it really doesn't seem so significant. Now human emotions kick in and it seems like the world is ending but that's another story. ............ NEW ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!
Clarky - I know exactly what you mean. I told some of these shred heads that jazz is by far one of the most difficult styles to play. They just laughed. Jazz is can be equally as fast at times. On top of that you have to realize that the chord progression are SO MUCH harder than bloody neo classical/metal progressions. Those shredders can just get away playing a harmonic minor the whole song without really having to transpose at all. Jazz is usually played with a very clean, crisp tone aswell whereas the shredders like lots of distortion. I have an Yngwie Malmsteen video where he is playing examples and although his picking is very accurate, there are little blips and imperfect sounds all over the place. He also plays the same dang licks every time. I mean there are 15 different examples on the video that are near identical.
KEN - Yeah, but not only guitarists make great rock instrumental stuff. Jordan Rudess (keyboard driven) and Niacin (bass driven) both make GREAT rock instrumental stuff, well deserving of Grammy nominations. "914" on LTE2 is one of my favorite rock instumental pieces of all time and has no guitar in it at all. Metheney is primarily jazz, but the song they nominated was a rock song. I agree with you about Metallica, but that's mainly because I think Lars is a bastard :-) However, there is a best "Pop Instrumental" category, where some of the songs in the rock category belong. I'd like to see a "Best Hard Rock/Metal Instrumental Performance" category. I think Satch and Vai would do a little better there.
JS Clone- I know what you mean... there is actually plenty of stuff which is far more difficult than shredding and not even close to being as quick.... stuff that's just a real handfull to play.. and the shredders will tell you that it's simple ['cos it's slow] .... until they try it for themselves.... some stuff is therefore not as easy as it first appears.. to become a more 'complete' player, you'll find that there is a whole world of interesting stuff outside of rock / metal style [as well as in it]. It's really cool to take a look, then return to your 'native' style but with a new perspective. =====================ESAT Digiphone for 3G.
Hi everyone. The crippler - That's one hard jingle, man. ;-) Has anyone heard of that one piano piece called "4:33"? I learned about it in my music class...I forget who wrote it. But it's 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. I think THAT is the hardest piece of music to play. Awesome...LOL. ===== KenCampbell - Good point about the Metallica thing, but the same thing applies to Joe this year. AWM, AWY is an old song. ...Austin...
Clarky - I know exactly what you mean. I know a few people that if I show them a Satriani lick they'll so "that's so easy!". I'll say so what? It sounds amazing. Why would it be any better if it was harder to play? Shredders are the worst... all the seem to do is shred and think 'this is it'. No musicality to them at all yet a lot of people think that's the epitomy of music. ................. NEW ALBUM NEW ALBUM NEW ALBUM!!! I would've nominated Joe's Mystical Potato Head Groove thing for a live performance grammy. It's very difficult to get the right hand over then get the left hand moving over those minor 9th arpeggios on all 6 strings up and down twice! CRUSHING DAY FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE!
Ok....RANT ON! Why don't the people who run the grammies have people that know what the hell they are doing. These guys are supposed to be the best when it comes to knowledge about what's going on in the industry. Why do they make some of the dumbest nominations for the "Best Instrumental Rock Song" catagory? Pat Metheney from year before last (Who beat out Joe)? Come on....this guy is a JAZZ artist. ALL his songs are jazz. Why was he nominated for a "ROCK" catagory? Last year? Metallica (Who beat out Joe)? Come'on! "Call of Cuthulu" is an 80's rock tune. It didn't win any awards back then, did it? Oh, but after all the Napster BS....all of a sudden! It wins a Grammy. Bull $hit! Why the hell don't they nominate people who truely belong in this catagory. I.E. Andy Timmons, Gary Hoey, Tony MacAlpine, Malmsteen, and all the countless others who ONLY play instrumental rock music. They really should develope some criteria for this catagory (Primary instrument used on track should be the guitar, track should not have vocals of any type, etc.). It always seems that Joe gets nominated every year, only to be beat out by some stupid chump who shouldn't have been nominated in the first place. Hell, they should just rename the catagory to "Best Instrumental Rock Song Played by Someone Who Doesn't even Play Instrumental Rock Music who's Going to Beat Joe Satriani Anyway Because the People who Run the Grammy's are Stupid, d!ckless idiots!" Anyway....RANT OFF. Joe: As I do every year, I wish ya the absolute best of luck man. You have done more for the world of guitar music than anyone else ever dreamed. If anyone deserves to be recognized, its you. **Peace** KenC. [http://kencampbell.iuma.com]
CRAIG: Either Adverse really is insane, or he's just using a REALLY bad translator program. The Godsmack song they nominated actually does have "lyrics" but they're more of a commentary. The Jeff Beck song has some woman going, "Oh my God" off and on too, haha.
Woohoo! Mr. Mailman just brought me a late xmas present. Liquid Drum Theater (Mike Portnoy). Mike plays like he's possessed! He's a great teacher too. Very cool dvd for all you drummers and drum lovers out there. Mike does this killer solo at the end of the dvd. One of those head shaking, teeth gritting, face twisting, arms flying, totally kickass thank ya Jesus solos that brings a tear to your eye when he's done. Joe, have you seen this dvd yet. Cool, cool stuff. Even cooler if it was YOU man! ;-)
uuhh...Jordan Rudess its a Keyboard player Mr.Chavez :) and i bet if Petrucci had it on his G3 line they would let a LOT of guys whit the mouth wide open in all his playing....J. BOWEN i will write you in the act :)
hey joe...good luck with your next project, I hope it´s as good one as your previous albums..Jordan Rudess for G3..and Paul Gilbert...this guy amazes me every time he picks up a guitar.can´t wait for the Petrucci solo album!...later

Good luck in the studio Joe, I hope we've taught you well, hehe. Remember, the little knob closest to the strings makes the guitar get LOUDER, and the other one makes it sound TWANGY or all MUFFLED. Just in case you forgot! I was at work the other day, lifeguarding, and lucky for the staff, someone "fouled" the pool. Not sure who it was, but they left their lunch all over the deck and in the water, so we got to go home an hour early, and the pool operator had to pour 2 huge cans of liquid chlorine into the pool. That's a LLLOTTTTTTTT of chlorine too, they were like twice the size of normal gas cans in your garage. Just thought I'd talk about my day for a bit. Have a good week everyone.
anyone having an mp3 prog like audiogalaxy look up Alejandro Guzman "Labios De Fuego, joe as guest guitarist rips it up at the end, very cool cd btw, joe are their any other recent contributions we should know about?, only ones recently i can think of are the rasta cd, and guzmans cd, can you enlighten us?
Charles Robinson, if anything makes it more cliche, it's you. There will always be that @$$hole who likes to run his mouth about anything possible in just about any situation, and in this case it's you!

I seriously think vais brother in law likes biggestjs.

lydianR: I also think it's a great idea (Satch fan's song name)!! How 'bout
"Eclipsing Emotion's"??....I'll have to think some more :)........Get a loaf: LOL dude! For a minute there I thought I was reading a Carl Sagan Novel :)....
jblaze1: Understood....But if I head to the transport room on the Starship Enterprise....;)BTW, Can't wait to hear your stuff!!......LOL Al!....LMAO!.....
JOE should be in the studio now....WOW, "Time" is on our side :)....Does some-
one know if Jeff Beck has won a Grammy before (I'm sure he has)?? If not, he
will have to win 'cause of his place befor JOE :(...But I have faith...."LISF"
RULEZ!!!! Thank's JOE, and Peace all, Mike
Joe I know you are going into the studio today to work on the new album. Just want to stay good luck and hope those creative ideas are flowing. P.S. Philadelphia Loves Ya!
Hello Joe, if you like Snowbording, in the summer you have to try Bodyboarding,catch a few waves,it is nice, Hawaii is the perfect place to do this. I hope see you soon and i can`t wait to hear the next record, but i have patience :). Take care, best wishes for all, a great 2002!! Alex Portugal.
The Crippler- Being 'the best guitarist' is not a possible thing to measure. It is a taste thing... There can be no such thing as a 'best guitarist' only the guitarist 'you like the most'. Not the same thing..... All the blind dipsticks out there, flame me for saying Satch is not the greatest in the World [which he isn't 'cos, as I've stated before, there is no such thing]....... And the really blind dipsticks.... flame me for saying that Malmsteen is better than Satch at scrabble or something even more stupid ..... make me laugh.....
Well, i just wanted to congratulate Joe for the final part of the song "Time"!
That´s an amazing piece of music!
Every time i listen to it my eyes start to water! :-)
Give us some more of that please!!
YOU ROCK JOE!!!

I think I can finally end the war about who is the best guitarist of all the JS fans. If anybody can play the tune found at http://www.tabcrawler.com/ftp/tabs.cgi?get&theme-songs/misc_television /intel-inside-commerical-theme.txt, then they are truly the master of the guitar. I myself am not a run-of-the-mill guitarist, but this tune had me on my knees begging for mercy. It is worthy of the great Brian Adams himself!
Leiny: I need no reason to go after Clone. He affords us all that opportunity
everytime he posts. Just needed to clarify with him that trying to be clever
with his quotes is all well and good, but there is a time / place / subject. He
needs to determine which is which. Your situation was NOT the time!! J BLAZE:
Time..wise words mate..wise words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Nitsua! No offense at all, just a thought that crossed my mind. Vais bro in law: Thanks for your support, it feels fine that you want people to respect each other (though Im not sure if that was your original intention). Is my situation just an excuse to talk against Clone 1, rather than a opinion in need to be expressed? Its not a statement its a question........What am I doing here at all? My friend called me this morning telling me that first lesson in school was cancelled, so I rose from bed like 3 hours too early, with nothing here to entertain me, and couldnt fall asleep again. Took a trip with the guitar and got caought like this in front of the computer, trying not to think about what happened too much... strange...
Ok, LISTEN UP SATCH FANS! I've been discussing with some guys from T2J about an idea for joe's NEW ALBUM.Why don't we all come up with our original song titles, then WEBMASTER can run a poll to see which is the best.The winning title gets to be a BONUS TRACK on joe's new album, and joe (if he kindly obliges that is^_^) could write a song using that that title!!I've got a title, how about "Cool crystal sky groove"? or "Robot's playground"(that last one is not mine btw, its ANIBUR's!)
John Bowen, tanx 4 answer me man. That song its really "something". Its one of those you hear and know that something unhuman inspire the composer to create such a beautifull and xquizit melody. By the way, Def Leppard "Hysteria" its one of my top 5 all time fav. song. I never get bored of that song. Do you have the tabs of "Elysian Fields"? it would be an honor to play it if you let me. Stop the T2J fight!!! I dont know how WEBMASTER allow this kind of disturbing behavior here....its a shame...
Joe - Here's some good vibes headed your way for the magic you are going to create beginning in the morning :) ! ............................ Who are we to say that there aren't any lifeforms that can sustain in every galaxy out "there" which are perfectly aligned with their energy sources (like the Earth from the Sun)? I just hope that some of those lifeforms are doing a better job with their environments than we are with this place. Oh, look at the "time"! I gotta run some errands. I guess I'll hop in my 9 miles to the gallon vehicle down to the temperature controlled supermarket a 1/4 mile from here for some hair spray, WD40, charcoal for the BBQ (or maybe I'll get the propane bottle filled up. First the guy will have to release any remaining propane out into the air though!), and ice cream from the freezer section running on freon, lol! Then I'll take all of those plastic grocery bags and throw them away out of my sight! Jeez, we suck! Probably aren't even using our brains to a 10th. of their potential! Screw it! I'm gonna go plop down on the couch and watch some Jerry Springer, then some Nascar race making all left turns, & then some WWF, lol! HHHHHHHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppp pppppp! Wow, what a topic we're having here, huh?! Wish we could all "surf with the aliens", haha! As Donald Sutherland's (Keifer's dad for you "young guns" out there) stoned character brings up in "Animal House"; "maybe we are all just tiny organisms living on someone's fingernail".
G'day everyone, just a comment to let everyone know, LISF DVD is still #1 on the charts as far as I'm concerned, and I can't wait to hear what you've got for us all next Joe! Cheers, BEN
Hi everyone. Joe - In case you stop by here before popping into the studio tomorrow, I just wanted to wish you and the band good luck during recording. I'm sure it'll be a blast. If it's not too much trouble, could you stop by here every few days to let us know how things are going? I'm sure everyone here would appreciate it, if you have the time. ;-) ...Austin...
GET A LOAF:I'll try to make this short.I don't believe that time can be manipulated.Once the ball is dropped on the ground,There is nothing you can do about it.To be able to time travel or turn back time on a large or small scale,You would have to be able to manipulate time & space everywhere.I don't care what Einstien say's,it can't be done.....I'm no Scientist but I've read the Physics books & the like & still,based on what I have read.TIME is not a tangable thing.Time is time & even if you could(doubtful)It still goes forward.Theory say's that you can only slow down the effects of time,percieved by you.Nerves work on electricity.Only one thing is faster,TACHIONS,Hence the word Tachometer.They are subatomic particals that move faster than light.But who say's that the speed of light is the speed needed to manipulate time.Just guess work if you ask me.It all looks good on paper but sometimes it does'nt work in reality.....I think I said that all in one breath.phewwww!!!!! 'nite all.
Gary: Learning the sax?! great! No wonder you have been so busy. LLoyd Ross: Look up the old posts from T2J to find Avrice's(SP) stuff. Look into Matt, Pete ,Gary and Ricky, too. No if I can just get rid of this pesky flu/cough. Stay kool you guy's, and stay positive, okay. KTF Randell
hey guys i found out what i was looking for about the "wammy" not wah wah pedal...its a digitech wammy pedal but thanks anyway...satch and everyone in satchland please tell me or lydianR if u would like for anyone who wants to think of a song title for satch's new cd and have him put it on as a bonus track! We could give joe the name and he could write a song about it...how about it guys and satch? : )
Leiny - Oh many do... but who are we to play God? ....... LydianR - Very cool idea. ........... Fusion5000 - Would that be The Terrifying Guitar Trip? I have some Gilbert videos and I learned every lick on them. This guy's full of suprises... "...and since it's a 2 handed lick you can just reach over with your right hand and... and... pull a rabbit out of the guitar." ..... ...... Anyways, excited about the new album anyone?
Joe: I can't wait for a new release! ELPP: The worst Christmas gift? Chones. They didn't have the heart to tell me to open that gift in private!! : ( Que poca madre!! Can you believe that? Culo Santa o chingada pobresa? Does it matter? I hope you get all the Simpson characters. : ) MEX-PEAT!! MEX-PEAT!! MEX-PEAT!!
Is it just me or does everyone else hear think vai's brother in law is an A**hole? the instructional tape is gonna rock anyone elese have TERRIFYING GUITAR 101? (gilbert)
Work sucks, I work in a motorcycle shop. I'm taking a short break from entering in the results of our physical inventory. It only takes about 30 hours or so, 25 down and counting...Tru.
a stat sheet about your life? HA HA! that is soo cool... i would want to see that, too.... there would be like a billion blinks. how bout this one.... number of notes joe satriani has played, EVER. im sure that would be... gee, i dunno. but i DO know you need to use scientific notation to express it!!! HA HA! so, which came first, the chicken or the egg? hmm... well.. let's put it this way. we have this dimension called "space time" -- a big fabric that reacts to density (gravity) and is never-ending (i still can't grasp that idea, the "never ending" space. how can that HAPPEN! AHHHH! IT HURTS MY BRAIN!). so, you have these random gas clouds and nebula floating around, and since the rules of gravity apply, all these gases come closer and closer to each other. all of a sudden, they react and BOOM!!!! a huge f*ckin explosion happens, and many many MANY like billions of stars are born. we have this disk shaped formation we call the "milky way" (and also a candy bar). this "universe" contains many stars, some with systems of their own. we happen to be lucky enough to inhabit one of the only hospitable planets in the entire solar system. so, jump forward about 3 billion years, a violent earth produces a little organism. it thrives in water and eventually makes it onto land. so, evolution happens, blah blah blah, there's a couple world-destroying catastrophes and such, and VOILA! humans happen. we have created a civilization for ourselves, but we have "ruined" the planet in the process. but that's not really true, because the earth will live on and thrive long after we are gone until the sun blows up. the thing that reallly blows my mind is that what we are experiencing right now has probably already happened, or WILL happen again with a different organism that thrives on completely different resources and has a way off weird culture that may even have been much more advanced than ours. in fact, we might be aliens infesting this planet who moved here from a far off galaxy. ha! what do ya say to THAT? well, actually that wouldn't work.. well.... damn i wrote a lot. anyway, that's kidna how i think it happened. i love discussing things like this. what do ya'll say!??
JOE - LISF dvd is so amazing everytime I watch it! It's what dvd was made for. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It's been viewed even more than "Braveheart"!
HI JOE!!!! WATCHA DOING DUDE? HEY GA6O POR QUIEN VOTAS? LA NETA QUE ESTA REÑIDISIMA PERO SI GANA GODSMACK NO MAMES!!!!!!! TE PATEO LAS BOLAS ME CAE ESPERO QUE YA SE HAGA JUSTICIA NO CRES? BYE DUDES
JBLAZE - I've thought of that a lot!!!!!!!! They try to explain the big bang theory to us in geography like the universe was a dense "cosmic egg" or something. What was surround this so called "egg"? That's what I would like to know when I die. How we were created as well as a stats sheet of my life. # of Breaths taken, steps taken, blinks, words spoken, burps, farts, anything interesting. I like that sort of information. I'm not saying I enjoy counting my farts or anything, but ..........well nevermind, I'll just leave it at that so that Vai's Brother in Law can make fun of me.
BIGGEST CLONE FOOL 7: Wow..now you are giving out quotes from Lord Of The
Rings..great stuff. You must be a lone candle of hope for Leiny with all this
well thought out information. What next.."USE THE FORCE LUKE"? How about this

I wonder how many people who laugh at Godsmack's nomination for best rock instrumental performance have actually heard the song? I think it kicks some ass...solid drums...pretty progressive...heavy guitars, works for me. My vote still goes for Jeff Beck, although I do agree there are better songs on that album.
lydianR (ryan bull): Dunlop makes the Crybaby, not Morley. I think Joe tends to use the 535 crybaby, specifically. I'm extremely bored at the moment and I want classes to start back up again. But alas, I have over a week before I even go back up to Boston, and then classes don't start for another week after that. Boohoo...
A friend of mine gave me and my wife Joe's live in San Fransicso DVD for a holiday gift.
What a friend indeed. Funny, I went to Berklee to follow Steve Vai, and then
saw Joe play, of course, as a great influence, Joe's just got the whole gig down and glad his inspiration
is still going to a new level every year. A great DVD and very exciting and crystal clear sound on that CD.
Thanks Joe!
Joe uses a Digitech "WH-1" the original. i think. it is the best. it is discontinued (which is a big mistake by Digitech), and it is in HIGH demand. some are selling on ebay for $500. if you really want it, you gotta dish out the dough. it's the best one out there..... there was a question earlier. Joe uses a Fulltone Ultimate Octave. i have my sights set on that one... it is so cool..... fulltone.com. they have the best pedals, in my opinion.
Yo SCOTT, I think joe mostly uses the morley crybaby wah-wah, but he also has a vox too.Can anyone suggest a good 'satch tone' type valve amp to get? Also please CHECKOUT MY PREVIOUS POST about us satch fans choosing a cool title for SATCH TO WRITE A BONUS TRACK for his new album.I think its a really good idea^_^what does everyone else think, and more importantly, what do you think satch?
will somebody tell me where to find a wammy pedal like joes? i really want one! anyway congrats again joe i knoe that you'll get that grammy this time : )
Leiny - Ok, maybe that wasn't the best thing for me to say at the time...I understand how that can be really hard on you. I'm sorry. It's just that there are so many negative aspects to what happened (everyone else that died), that maybe looking to one of the positive things (he survived) might help you through it. That's all I was trying to say. ...Austin...
try thinking about the fact that there's no actual proof for a material world ;-) think about it, who knows, there might be nothing except your consciousness ...

wow vai's brother in law i only wish i was as clever as you to put con before fusion 5000 haha i laughed... and i thought i was illitarite (wich i am) but maybe you should re-read what you wrote in your last post. Anyways dont spend 5 hours trying to think up a tell off or clever comeback please im not going to respond anymore. IM GETTING TERRIFYING GUITAR 101! :) if you think you can shred buy this video and think again

Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post, and i've been around here for so long that i really do consider you all my close friends... my God i've been posting here for almost 4 years now. I'm from Boston and am studying in London for a year, and met my girlfriend with whom i'm obsessively in love here last semester... she goes to Princeton and is now back in the states for this semester, so we're apart for a long time, and are still going to stay together. Last night was my first night back in London without her here with me, and it was so hard... I felt like i was dying. Have any of you ever felt like when you're not with someone that you love, like you're heart, passion, drive, energy, and soul is so far away from you? Well last night i cried for so long, and it was so hard... and i just listened to Joe, and sobbed, and then she called and it made it better temporarily... but damn, this is the hardest thing i've ever had to deal with in my life. Being apart from the thing on earth i love the most is killing me. Anyways, i just felt like this needed to come out... I'm gonna go try and eat something and keep it down. Thanks so much for listening. Love Adam
LEINY - Alright how about this one: "Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life." Gandalf, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (J.R.R Tolkien) ........................ GUITARRANDO - Actually Joe has posted many times before. You have to check the archives of this forum.
crippler: BITE ME! conFUSION500: i is write this so yous understood what i syas.
i no need to put yous ons my sh1tty list as yous r already fulls of sh1t. it
musts be a canadians things. whats you thinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spruce Goose - I hope Dream Theater releases more dates and makes it over your way! Thanks for mentioning the tour. I hadn't been to John's site in a while. 3/9/02 it is!! The Warfield theater! Whooooohooooo! If it hadn't been for Joe asking John to join him on the G3 tour, I wouldn't even know about him. Thanks again Joe! Can't wait to hear those "Rush" inspired riffs again! Speaking of G3, I'll be seeing Dave LaRue (Dixie Dreggs) in a few nights, and now John in 2 months! Very cool! BTW, have you ever toured the "Spruce Goose"? I think they moved it from Long Beach, CA to somewhere in Washington state. Or is that the "Queen Mary" luxury liner, lol? Howard Hughes (sp.?) was a pretty eccentric guy, huh? Never touched any surface other than his own skin without a "glove" of tissues something like 36 sheets thick! I guess crazy is more like it, haha! ....................... Hey Mexico G3 fans - Here's a thought I had when checking out Dream Theater tour dates; 3/3/02 - Mexico City and 3/5/02 - Monterrey. Both nights have a few open days around them so that could be when the rest of the G3 members show up for the remaining G3 tour gigs! Just a thought. ........................ elpp - There are a lot of open dates in the current Dream Theater tour. Maybe they'll head your way before or after Denver! Cross your fingers. ....................... ovation - LOL about "needing a place to put all of our stuff", haha! It made me think about George Carlin's rant about how we keep moving in to bigger spaces because we acquire more and more stuff. I know the closets and rafters in the garage are full at my place. I bet I wouldn't miss very much of it either, lol! Well, some of my signed album covers maybe, haha. I've got a signed "Signals" album cover that Alex Lifeson signed to "Debbie", lol! She must have been in the mob crowding him for an autograph right before me, lol!
hey everbody..man I love the Neil Zlozwer(something like that)pictures...ones of Joe and Vai are cool..in one..Steve is laughing real crazy..I wonder what Joe was saying..cya
It's Grammy time again. I remember the first time I heard Whispering a Prayer was on the day my mom died. It was befitting of the day, kinda letting go beautifully I guess. She had a rough battle with lung cancer and by that point she was ready to say goodbye. Anyway, for that reason that song gets my vote, sorry Joe. Question to all: What Satch song most evokes a special memory or emotion for you, consistently everytime you hear it? Not necessarily because you heard it at a particular time, but just because of what the song says to you personally. At the moment I'd have to say Clouds Race Across the Sky. Peace to all, Tru.
Hey Al! We're pretty much settled in, just need to buy some stuff to put everything in, LOL :)....Looking at buying a nice Sofa next weekend :)....So true on the Lego stock!! My Mom sent the kid's the Harry Potter Lego Castle for XMas!...Lego has been around a long time!! Remember when it was a 24 piece set and you got tires with it to make a box car?? Now they come in 3D design's,
LOL!......BTW, Just checked out Pete's "Deep Dreaming" (http://peterm.iuma.com)
and his stuff just keep's getting better and better!! Some great shredding there and a "Dreamlike" song! Also got a chance to check out Matt's "Christmas
Song" (http://mjking.iuma.com), and that one has such a Christmas Vibe!! Best Legato work on a XMas song I've ever heard!! Bravo to you guy's....Can't wait to get a cable hook-up (24hr. unlim.) so I can check out your other new one's!!
SATCH's site ROCK's! This man has influenced more people in such a great way that it cannot be described in word's....Only by his Music :)......Peace all, Mike
Thank you all for kind words. Jblaze1: Thanks for sharing your story
As to Nitsua, Clone1 and AliceJ: I WOULD like to think that everything happends for a reason, though its pretty hard to accept that right now. It manage to bring up a little discussion on the t2j page though. Always something..*modest smile* I know that quote from P&W but I dearly hope that it isnt true. Animals are usually strangers to words like quilitiness and despair, which probably are more common to this guy by now. Wether its Vai's personal quote or not, I truly hope that animals are spared this feelings. MICHELLE: I think its important too, my brother's going to send some flowers tomorrow... I can't explain this little man, taken over, can't explain the way that I feel.../Scooter Ward
Hey Joe, hopefully you can make it to Australia after the new album is completed??
That would be sweet!
I am working on getting Dream Theater down here for their 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence tour!
Well the wolf is at it again. The guy is just too cool. I wish there was a way I could be like him!!!!!!!........ Has anyone
noticed the ends of his post .....I came in peace, I left in blah blah blah. When pu**y boy avarice first came here he
use to sign off with the same ending (I came in peace I left you in shreds) ..Hmmmmmm just wonderin. Once again,
this guy is just too cool for me.
I think some people are having some problems understanding the concept of the 'Talk to Joe' page...it was put here as a place where like-minded Satch fans can share opinions and 'talk to joe'...it definitely wasn't put here for people to post offensive comments about others...let's just drop these petty arguments and go back to the way things were...
Ok, my friend talked patiently along the street about my taste for beauty (you are a model for me), the mistakes she would make and I promissed to show what she wanted: to stay, so I did. Santa Class (I think).
I gave a pair of sandals, I dress, a song and cop boots to my first pupil-friend-woman. Not for mortals, just for the blond and her gilrfriend Trinity (who used to have her face all whashed by little black - the one who closed the cage). IT is destroyed!
HIGAIN-Wow, "The robot's playground" is an awesome title!^_^ I mean, I still like M.P.H.G.T but your title suggests very vivid imagery.hey, why don't us satch fans try and come up with a totally original song title so JOE can use it to write a BONUS TRACK for his new album? WHAT DO YOU THINK JOE?
dont grab a guitar player or guitar world looking for gear reviews! unless your wondering who won in the limp bizkit v.s korn rig showdown....try harmony-central.com
Hi everyone I'm back from a long holiday, and happy new year to everyone (i know its late but its the thoguht that counts). Anyone got a tab for "The Crying Machine" by Herr Vai? I mean i can work out it al as I go along until the soloy bit starts with trade-off solos. Has anyone HERE got an OPINION on the LINE 6 Ax212 AMPLIFIER? Or DIGITAL modelling AMPLIFIERS in general? I need to move on from valvestate into somethign that does sound good for bedroom/practice use but also giggable. I would have liked to go for a valve half stack but i dont quite have the money/will to get a really good one, and I am still searching for a tone,. Please guys, anything on digital modelling would be helpful, particularly a good article with comparisons. Cheers.
Go back to the "Winger" site from where you "came". .......................... Wow, a category that I actually saw 3 of the nominees this year! If anyone else has Jeff Beck's "You Had It Coming" c.d. what do you think of "Dirty Mind"? "Rosebud" and "Left Hook" are both better tunes. Funny which ones get nominated. Maybe the "hip" Grammy panel's attention was caught by Imogen Heap's moaning and grunting which was actually done years ago by both Yoko Ono (scary image) and Stevie Nicks. I doubt very much that Joe, Steve, or Jeff give much more than a passing thought to winning a statue. Never heard of "Godsmack". Any good? Anyone know who sold the most c.d's. of the 5 nominees? That might be a good indication of who wins ie: Metallica over Joe last year. Although I thought "Champagne" should actually have been Joe's nomination from EOC. .............................. Ovation - Are you all settled yet? Moving sucks! Something I hope I don't have to do again for quite a while! .......................... Looked into getting some "Lego" stock yesterday and found out it's a privately held company. Bummer, that would be a winner to have for sure! Someone out there is making some serious dough! At least from this house (and wallet), lol!

Hey JSClone2, My Vai Box set hasn't arrived yet either. I'm getting pissed off. I've sent 2 emails to the Vai site and the company that is distributing. No response. Anybody else on this site having the same problem? Did I just throw away $100? I expected more from Steve.
Joe, Thanx for all you do for us fans you are the best.What new albums do you like?Have you given much thought to writing songs that have Mandolin,Lute or other folk music instruments in them?Do you still have that custom made six string Banjo?"Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness" is a cool song with a folk rock type feel to it.I have recently been jamming with a dude that plays the Mandolin and we've been having a blast.I have written a lot of songs on the acoustic and some of them just come alive with the Mandolin.I can't wait to start learning how to play one myself,it doesn't look to be very hard.I also like other stringed instuments like Violin,Viola and Cello.Alice in Chains "Wasp and Whale"has a killer string section in it.....Clarky:Thanx for the advice Bro. I think I'm going to buy the 12ch. Behringer mixer tomorrow and maybe a new pickup for my SG, only question there is Pearly Gates or Fred?
1 More Day Joe!! 1 More Day! It's Studio Time! :) Surfing The Net on different brand names of guitars! Some worth mentioning are: Parker Classic Fly, Brian Moore, McNaught, PRS (I like but have no Floyds), Peavey Wolfgang (sorry), Godin (Canadian Made :) )Ibanez (of course), and finally the do-it-yourselfer Warmoth (www.warmoth.com) More bang for your buck, that's what I always say! You guys want an up to date axe in your collection, then these previously mentioned companies will get you what you need!!! Peace.........Barrie
«««Joe, is the first time in the comment.Ilike very much you and play your musics.Please, go back to the Rio and Jo Soares Show|||I'm sorry for the errors in the english||||||||»»»
Hey Joe.... I can't wait for the new album to come out. I'm sure you'll have something really cool for us all with that creative Bach rock brain lol. Keep it up Joe, we all really enjoy your music. I watched your lesson on scales and another video where you were talking about how the sunglasses could let you hide some emotion that you felt from playing, and having to stop before because of it. I know that feeling.. i've been playing with tears just rolling lol. A very emotional instrument the guitar can be for us all I think. Anyway... I hope all is going well for yourself, family and friends. Does anyone out there know if there will be a video out from this years... or should I say last years G3? I hope everyone is having a great start to their new year. C-ya all later... Evan
PUNJAB - Joe mainly practiced scales... not to say that's all he did. You can find to lesson interview videos with Joe. One is on Scales and soloing and the other on chords and arpeggios. Really, after watching the chords and arpeggios video again and seeing how much knowledge Joe posesses to compose, you really understand how he can express himself so beautifully through music. That's why he's my favourite. Unlike some guitar players who's names start with 'Y' that play harmonic minor and phrygian over and over picking...and sweeping his diminished arpeggios blah blah blah...
Tomjr:Did you get a phone card yet?...:)Clarky:I overheard Some folks talking about King Crimson tonight at the pub.Very nice things:)Gabriel: I am so flattered that you mention my "Electric Ecstasy" CD quite often! I'm glad you like it! I hope it catches on!:)More to follow...

hey joe i was wondering what type of wammy pedal you have? where can i find one? it produces one of the coolest sounds that i have ever heard! oh i got the live in san fransisco dvd today...it was incredible! you definitley have to make another one this comming tour! i hope you will be able to make it to richmond, va this year considering i was on vacation when you came to washington d.c. in 2001(it ruined my vacation not being able to go!)well happy new year and ill talk to you later...
Hi Joe & to everybody here. I am a huge fan of Surfing with the Alien and was wondering what all equipment you use to get the sound you get out of it. I know you use a wah pedal. Anything else? Amazing song. If anyone can help please email me at natekelly35@hotmail.com

Guitarpsycho - The Secret Jewel Box is a limited edition box set. 10,000 were made, my guess is by now they are sold out. I'm not sure if they are or not, but the internet pre-sale was in October. I ordered mine then, and for some reason it hasn't arrived yet. You can email the guys that are selling it, I can't remember what the company is though, musician's friend maybe.....I'm not too sure. Go to the vai webpage and look for their email. I tried getting a hold of them but they never responded, so don't get your hopes up. Hope this was helpful.
sup everybody...can anyone relay some info about the Steve Vai box set...?? are they sold out...?? I can't seem to order one off his webpage..any ideas would be helpful thanks....
Really sorry, Leiny. Such tragic events remind us all to take stock of our lives, and what's really important. On a lighter note, I love ALL of Joe's song titles with 2 exceptions: 1) "Woodstock Jam" to me invokes some idea of a 60's retro homage. This song was nothing like that. 2) "The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing" is a pretty good title, but after getting to know this song I would have called it something like "The robots' playground". Whaddaya think? Congrats on the Grammy nomination, Joe! You deserve to win 'em all, but you've probably got used to not getting your hopes up by now. Peace, all.
Gabriel:Now that you bring it up & don't worry friend,it was quite some time ago..Yes,The song"Elysian Fields".I had been listening to Def Leopards"Hysteria" in 1988 after she died, which was her favorite album.A week or two later I was fooling around with the delay & played the first 2 chords to that song.Well,there you have it.The song,(Elysian Fields)was written for her.It is strange that I named the song 2 years ago but wrote it close to 14 years ago..I was going through some Greek Mythology books to get ideas for names of songs.Elysian Fields looked good,then I read the definition:-A place of peace & tranquility associated with the afterlife: Whoa! It fits but also I did not mean it to be a sad song,Which I don't think it is!Just Relaxing.A rather strange coinsidence I'de say,like it was meant to be.Well,now that everyone knows,they will have a different vision of that song when they hear it,if they do.Thanx for asking!:)....WELCOME BACK OVATION!!!:)

Vai's brother in law, I have a quotation here from your most recent post: "you have demonstrated your complete lack of attention to any detail". After reading this, my shock turned to horror when I realised that not only did you spell Earth with a lower case e, but you also missed off the full stop at the end of the last sentence. It sent chills up my spine! I hope ye burn in the fires of Hell for this gross miscarriage of justice!
So, this is the satch community is it? Jeez, why do people here seem to have
trouble getting on? But how insensitive and disrespectful can you get, how the
hell did you manage to have an row about Leiny's situation?!?!?! People seem to
be looking for things to argue about but this is going way too far!!! Obviously,
I'm not talking about everyone, most people use the site for the reasons it was
put up!!!!!!
hi, joe! thanks for the blue! this may sound cliche, but IT IS TRULY AN HONOR TO BE NOMINATED! (grammy's, oscar's, etc.) "Winning" is alot about popularity and politics, but the nom's are The Industry recognizing its Best. Being nominated is in the truest sense the Recognition of one's Peers. Joe you consistently make the Top Five; congratulations, man! :::SATRIANI.FOREVER!!!
Hello!
would anybody have access or know where i can find a copy of Joe's famous 12 hour practice routine. Unfortunatly i have tried looking everywhere for this schedule that everyone knows exists but doesn't have a clue what it consists of.
cheers
Always with me always with you was me in England walking with Fred, the dog that has no race and is in trouble latter (95) looking at me constantly. The most important thing in my life now and when I lived lonely in the mansion is the thief who was kissed in the hot beautiful feet. Not first timer and green-eyed (but I wasn't seeing) who promissed to leave her perfume in my hand and learned "voce" (you). I call you now at: SQSW 504, Bl. B, ap 201, Sudoeste. Brasilia-DF (BRAZIL) CEP: 70673-502. End of resources - The people are quite normal but my feelings are telling me that I like the Bahamas yet. Good luck guardians. S.R.A FOREVER. the most impressive flash of the 80s: Richie in the fighting dancing sallon! Hyppo's stuff: blond young saying Match Oh looking at me. Gostei do presente Deus.
Vai's bro. in law: I really hate to take sides and get involved but I would like to point out that "We may be human, but we're still animals" isn't really a Vai lyric. It's been around for a long time. It's from some ancient play in a language other then English(I'm not exactly sure which language it is).
Anyways, I was also wondering if anyone knows anything regarding a tour this summer. Perhaps promoting the new album.......
In the UK 'TheTimes' today reports that the Isle of Wight festival will return this year, for the first time since Jimi Hendrix last concert in 1970. While artists such as Pulp, The Charlatans, Strokes and White Stripes are expected, it is interesting that it is being booked by the Solo Agency, who usually book Joe in the UK !!!
Clone peat my friends. VBIL - That's just plain rude to say something like that. Rich tried comforting someone in hard times and you mock him about that. That's absolutely disgusting, I can't say anything else about that. Leiny, I'm really sorry to hear about that, my thoughts go out to you.
Leiny - I'm sorry about what happened. I don't really know what to say other than everything happens for a reason. There's a reason why he's still alive. ...Austin...
Ya Yo, no I havn't played Playstation 2 yet, but I get a chance tomorrow when we are going to visit my nephew. He has just bought it ,so may not have many games yet.
ATVs kick ass. My brother (age 14, haha) has a Yamaha Blaster 6 speed. Supposedly it's snowing tomorrow so we'll be out there tearing up some fields. Can't wait...
TWIG - lemme move in with you! haha.....ANIBUR - have you played playstation2 yet? my next door neighbor has one, he's like 10 or something....anyhow we were playing this ATV (4 wheelers) racing game and it was pretty awesome....
Hey Leiny, i dont know what to say. Its because everytime something like this happend you always hear "maaan, thats a shame, im sooorry, my prays go to...." and all those kind of stuffs that even if they are good to hear, in the deep of your soul you still feeling bad or badder after it. So, just be strong and help that unfortunate guy in what you can. John BOWEN, i didnt knew that part of your life too. I dont know if its bad moment to ask but, im concerned about this: any song from Electric Ectasy was dedicated to "her"? sorry if i was rude for ask, you know that is not my intention my friend. Later.
The Vai Box!!
"The 100-page booklet will be sent out after the last CD is produced to those who have collected all the CDs."
I found this info on an early news of the box.. I guess that's what the empty space in the box is for..
..AND to think of it, There must be some kinda code somewhere in the box that combines the code in CD's to give u the right to get the booklet, right??
-Sava-
Congratulations Biggest Satch Clone Boy: Your words to Leiny will no doubt be of
huge comfort to him. Yet again you have demonstrated your complete lack of
attention to any detail, which I can only assume is due to your immature
persona. You may have the body of a 16 year old, but with the brain of a 9 year
old! What on earth has the lyric to a Vai song got to do with his present
situation? And as for "that's life", well jeez!! Well done - you have now been
promoted to the top of my sh1t
^_^MICHELLE, I think joe named "tears in the rain" after "tears in rain" speach made at the end of the film BLADERUNNER by rutgar hugher(sp?).I've got the soundtrack to bladerunner by VANGELIS, and its absolutely sublime! Where you inspired by the film joe?----Also are you planning to make a JAZZ orientated satch album ever, I was checkin' out your song LUM LUM (another good title^_^), and I think your style fits the jazz world seemlessly.Btw, did you name LUM LUM after the japanimation/manga series by rumiko takahashi "Urusei yatsura"? 'cause the main character from that is called LUM!
Leiny, so sorry to hear about your friend. How tragic. Hopefully the rest of his family and his friends will help him get through this. Maybe you and your brother could keep in touch with him. For those of us who are on the "outside", the hardest thing to do is to find something to say to someone hurting so badly, but for the "inside" people, the hardest thing is when nobody says anything. Sometimes the best thing to do is just be there so your friend doesn't feel so alone. Phonecalls, cards, visits, hanging out...anything is better than nothing. peace**
LEINY:Things happen for a reason I firmly believe.Maybe he will do something important for common good or change history.You never know!:)It is a tragic story that most would say"That will never happen to me"..But it does Happen:(I lost a girlfriend in a car accident in '88.She was only 18 years old.We had a fight the day before & almost broke up!She went with him to make me mad.15 minutes later,We saw the flashing lights because the road they were on was a waterfront road that was viewable from the beach.I had no idea it was her.The car hit another sideways at 60 MPH on her side. I never got to tell her that I loved her.That was the hardest thing I have to deal with to this day..You never know what's going to happen next?The guy driving the car is a real @$$ yet he survived.That does not make sense to me either.???Just thought I would share that with you....Hang in there!
The only Snowboarding I do is with my 12 year old son on his Nintendo 64 game ...1080!! It happens to be my fave game at the moment on N64.(Of course he always wins ,perhaps I ought to take off my thick gloves when I play !) Good Luck for that Grammy Award Joe, keeping fingers crossed for you.It is about time *Always with me* was put up for an award, you have just gotta get it this time :0}.....luv anibur***
Best wishes for a new musical year ! We( thrilling-guitar fans, or guitar thrilling-fans) were wondering about your coming back to France for a couple of gigs, be it in the warm circle of the G3, or solo. The newest G3 configuration with J.Petrucci looks most exciting to us Frenchmen. You're welcome to France!
Beautiful sunrise this morning in LA....... just as I am about to go out and ride my horse, I am sitting at the computer checking my e mail, reading the satch site, enjoying a great cup of java and holding myself back from crankin the tunes too loud too early. Fortunately, Eric has always been kool about loud music at all hours and hitting repeat!!! But Ill be jamming on 11 in the truck on the way to the barn and singing guitar parts from Crystal Planet to the world as I prepare myself for a solid workout with my horse.:) What a beautiful day. I hope yall have a great morning too..... Lets Rock and roll and love one another!! Twig
Friends, sorry for taking up space in the t2j section. But I suppose I just want to write this down 'cause it might feel better afterwards. There was this car accident yesterday cause of the snow, and a guy in my age who used to live here a couple of years ago drove the car. My brother used to hang out with him. So this guy was the only left surviving in the car. He lost his both grand parents, his younger brother and his dad, they were all with him in the car. Its just madness, why do things like this happend? My God, the guy's only like 20 years old. You keep thinking that he is the most unluckiest person cause he survived. He'll never get a normal life after this. I feel completely lost at the moment, I dont dare to imagine what he feels....... Joe, your music is comforting as ever right now
Austin: Thank's for the head's up on "Getright"! I downloaded the program and am waiting to get a cable hook-up so I can try it out :) LOL, thank's again!
lydianR: I agree with you! Manu really "meshed" with JOE on that album! But, as we know, JEFF is the left hand to JOE, and STUUUU the right (beside's JOE's
own hand's!)....The Chemistry between Joe, Jeff and Stuu is the right mix to keep working with!....BTW, Michelle...You mentioned New Year's tradition's a while back....We eat Soba (Kinda' like thick spaghetti) soup, and plenty of Tenpura fixin's on NY Eve!!......We used to go watch the first Sunrise of the New Year, but it suck's driving back home slapping yourself silly in the face to stay awake driving home 8-)....Oh well, SOTD: "PRIMUS".."Wounded Knee"....
Weird stuff, but Les Claypool can slap!!....Peace all, Mike
Steve you were perfect replying to my call for war (mainly the americans). Ok, that annoying England cityzen should have stopped the bombing, now say Amen (mae...).
could anyone tell me where can i find music by avarice? I cant seem to locate the address. thanks

Hey Nitsua, You did say that when you met Joe, You told him how good that concert was, & he said," It was the Fans that made it Great!"........... So I guess It's kinda cool to think we are apart of that grammy.............sweet........Hey I can understand where Yayo was coming from. Joe is so amazing it is unbelievible, but todays listeners don't like his format so they don't vote for him... this so sad..... I looked at the list & I think that Godsmack wil probably win............man that sucks Joe Deserves it so much, He defintetly should have won for Until we Say goodbye..... man that song is so sweet...& he should win this year cause I was At the Fillmore shows & Joe is the Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well ,hello
i just popped in to say a very happy new year to you and all you r team out there to create some really good music.
p.s when is your new album coming out
rishi
Anibur-So I was (nearly)right about s.m.f! that was a complete guess!^_^--SWORD1, mixolydian,lydian,dorian,phrygian etc are all derived from the same scale, the MAJOR scale.Learn the major scale and you've learnt the framework for 95% of western music?(since the minor scale is simple the major scale only starting from the 6th note,there is a mode for every note starting point in the major scale(seven major mode total).As for joe's legato techinique, I have a adopted a similar technique, listen to ALLAN HOLDSWORTH as he (along with satch) is considered the KING of legato, also he is one of satchs heroes, so chances are he got alot of his legato technique from observing HOLDSWORTH.Satch and Holdsworth both slide between two three-notes-per-string patterns, as opposed to confining thereselves to a singular 'BOX' pattern like most jazz/rock players.BTW-----JOE, R U going to play with MANU KACHE again ever? You two really had a vibe goin'^_^
Twaddle - I had a funny moment with my cousin and the song Day At The Beach... I put all of my Satriani albums on my computer in MP3 format. I use MusicMatch JukeBox (www.musicmatch.com) to shuffle the songs randomly. So my cousin was here while Day At The Beach happened to come on...she heard the beginning of it and said it sounded like being at the beach. And she didn't know the title of the song...LOL. It's cool how Joe's music can do that... Anyway, goodnight all. ...Austin...
GA60: Unfortunately, you're right man. I can't stand when people think it's NOT based on popularity. Yeah, I got flamed with JBLAZE and a bunch of other people who dare say bad things about Ibanez guitars...nevermind that every one of us owns at least one Ibanez. Jackass. Probably the funniest thing about it was, "This is my guitar. Nuff said." Are you sure it's yours? I mean, was your guitar featured at NAMM, then placed on eBay? That's where most of those pictures were from. The fricking serial number changes from picture to picture. Oh well...Always with Me, Always with You is my least favorite Satch song, along with Summer Song. I've listened to both SO many times and have heard each every time (4, so far) I've seen Joe. Too much for me :-) I would have nominated Cool #9, Devil's Slide, or Crystal Planet...I'd also make sure Joe won :-)
The Grammy industry means a sh1t. The most valuable recognition Joe can have, i think, its every time we add some nice words to him, about the way his music touch us and transform our lives here when we put our signature on the "Talk To Joe" section. Sometimes Satch music tells me what to do when words cant. Its kind of funny? or even ridiculous? well, i dont care but i bet we , in some way, are Joe Satriani friends. Even if i talked to him 4 times in my life. And even if we didnt meet him, we know him because his music. Oh my God, i am talking about Satch in a way i didnt since my first post i think LOL. Well, in this section we should do the same thing instead of fighting about silly things. Way to go Satch. WE LOVE YOU!! Gabe.
Man, just had a cool chat going on with "Satch3d" and "JS Clone 1" through AOL AIM! neat little program! And you can Jam with your guitars through it as well! You guys are pretty cool dudes! I must apologize to Joe, the Webmaster, and the fans if they found some of my most recent past comments disturbing! I get carried away somedays, Can't seem to let things go! Never Have! I'll try harder! It's nearly 2:00am in these parts, been up since 5:30am....neeeed sleeeep, must sleeeep........can't sleeeep!
Date: Fri Jan 4 22:47 Twaddle<moondoggie13@yahoo.com>:
"A Day At The Beach (New Rays From An Ancient Sun)"...that's my favorite! That song, I dunno...it just makes me feel so happy...just like a day at the beach with all my friends...oh yeah...Hi everyone!
Nitsua - LOL! A grammy would look pretty good on my mantle! Do they make enough statues for everyone who "performed" that night or do we all have to share one, haha!
Congratulations Joe, cool to hear you're up for another nomination. I've got a couple questions for you. First one, when you get nominated is it a very official kinda thing like a pretty envelope with calligraphy and gold paper? Or is it an everyday Joe Blow calling you saying "Yeah, dude, you're nominated for a grammy dude! Whoa man! Dude that's cool. Show up at 5:00 on Feb 27th dude! Second question. Actually you and everyone else here. Joe, did you have any jobs before becoming a pro musician? Something to get you the cash to start up your career? For everyone else, I'm just curious what everyone else does to make a living. I am a Lifeguard & Swimming Instructor.
Great to hear about Robert Fripp's (King Crimson)input. Us old guys 40+ remember some King Crimson from the 70's that should be re-released (right after digital remastering)that wouldn't sound dated in the least. I'm think'n Court (hall) of the Crimson King maybe?
Date: Fri Jan 4 20:17 Shreesh<shreesh_n@yahoo.com>:
Joe...congrats on the grammy nom. How many is that??? I think you've been nominated at least 5 years straight now. Congrats to Vai, too. It's very
cold in NY, so make sure to lay down some hot tracks in the studio. I've been listening to Jason Becker's music lately...his solo stuff plus the album with David Lee Roth (which has some really nice guitar moments). Jason Becker's story is a sad one. But I read through his testimonial on his website, and it was really positive and courageous. A great message! Hats off to him. Guitarists are cool! Regards...SN
Congrats on the Grammy nomination, Joe!!! :-) Always... was really good that night. Hey MegaBoyd, Al Surfer, and anyone else that was at the 12/29/00 show... Think about this for a minute. We're all on the CD during that song, right? We're clapping and yelling and stuff. So we are part of the "performance" on that CD. There's guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and the fans. We're the fifth performer. So we have all been indirectly nominated for a Grammy Award, thanks to Joe's awesome album. Pretty cool, eh? LOL...sorry for letting this go to my head. ;-) ...Austin...
Yeah Joe, Grammy time already eh? Well congrats on Always With Me Always With You!! Personally I thought It should have been Satch Boogie from Live In San Fransisco! Because that was absolutely the best Live Recording of that track! Favourite food??? at the moment it Quizno's Black Angus 12" sub!! Mmmmmm!!!! Peace..........Barrie
Greetings all..Joe can't wait for the new tunes..I've been fan for a long..long time..It blew my mind during the webcast when you talked about those old sound pages in the old Guitar Player magazines..I never had "Crush" but did have some old David Gilmour ones..solo stuff he put out..right after "The Wall" came out...anyway nice memory..Also for the new album..when you hit the road this time..hopefully you can come to the Florida Theater in Jacksonville,Florida..beautiful place...great sound...that does you justice man..your music makes my girlfriend cry...and that is a major thing...hope all is going well...GO NINERS....!!
Hey Satch congratulations on your Grammy nomination!!! ====== It's great to see Joe, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson up for Grammy's. Where's EJ? In the best Pop Performance category, for the song Rain. That song is soooooo cool. ======I just read all the categories. Can u believe they give a Grammy to the best album packaging?!?!?! Hey maybe our friend ADDAM FOX will win that one someday. It could happen. Later.
I just got flamed for My Sears Guitar comment.Anybody who knows me here,Knows it was a joke or at least a half@ss attempt at a joke.How could anybody take that seriously? lol.I love IBY'S..He even Quoted me "All Ibanez guitars are crap" Did I EVER say those exact words!? I think not.That's the problem here at T2J! Things get twisted around like pretzel & that really sucks!:(I apologise if I offended anybody here,sincerely!! Time to go play my UNIVERSE!:)
Joe ........... When you get in the studio try goin bk to 'the' album ......The one with classics such as D•D•D, L•F•G's, S•M•F, Morrocan Sunset, & the one & only Slow Down Blues. Good luck man........ Lookin forward to a release date
CONGRATS on the Grammy Nom. Joe! Although, I can't say I'll be disappointed if Jeff Beck wins. His song kicks some ass. CLARKY - Yeah man, rumor has it that Steve Vai MAY have played something other than a JEM7V live the whole time he was with Zappa or Alcatrazz. Christ, you'd think we got together and burned our RGs last week. YES we both DO own Ibanez guitars. But hey, we don't own JS1000s or 7Vs, so what the hell do we know?? Rock on man... Oh yeah, glad to see that a real band (U2) has a good chance at beating all the other trash they were nominated with at the Grammys. Also, glad to see that my man LUKATHER got 2 nominations along with Larry Carlton.
Hi all... Joe - Can you give us any more info about that Todd Rundgren idea that you had for the EOC album? Have you given up on trying it for this one / will it not work? ===== ovation1 - You can download the webcast using Get Right, and then you can watch it crystal clear. Although you still have the slow connection problem to download it. ===== eyesy - Choose a lower quality webcast and it might work better. Or use Get Right like I just said for ovation1. ===== lydianR - Joe didn't release Talk To Me on Time Machine because the master tape was ruined. It'll never see the light of day. :-( ...Austin...
Secret Prayer - intro - rulez. Does anyone know how to set Boss Ds-1 to make distortion sound like in intro? ........and guess what - I'm going to buy an ibanez - Js100. I played my friend js100 over and over and it was great. But I find the red version more sexy, so i'll buy the red js100. Wish me luck.....
JOE COME TO POLAND, PLEASE...................
Hey jimbojim, I saw the nominations for Joe and Steve on MSN.com...Also, Eric Johnson, Larry Carlton, and Steve Lukather received nominations!...Did I see someone mention Todd Rundgren down below? I think Rundgren has one of the most incredible musical minds ever! Hey Joe, what's your favorite Todd Rundgen album? Later all...
where in the world it said that Joe or Vai are nominated for the grammy???
Date: Fri Jan 4 14:27 MegaBoyd (Boyd)<megaboyd@hotmail.com>:
too many cool names to think of.......... right now Engines Of Creation.....yep I think the title track is my fav on that album, I also love Clouds but I think I like the Live version of that one is better. It Rules!!!!!!!!!!! peace Megaboyd
how the hell, i'm gonna get the anwser to this i don't know!!!, but as a drummer, i woundered what slave pedal Jeff has got for his double bass drum pedal?!an dprefably, how much....bye!(well it's a thick qestion i know but then again i'm a 14 year old english kid!)
1. I can only access computers from the local library. They
have Windows NT and but the don't have quicktime. I can't download new
software to their computers because they have them password protected. Is
there any way you can make a copy of the Satriani Winter 2001 webcast in Windows
Media Player or Real Audio formats so others can watch it?
2. Also, I was wondering, about those legato-type licks that Joe is doing on songs like "Time" and "Mr. Potato Head Groove Thing" (an example of a Satch-type legato lick that I'm referring to can be found at http://www.guitartricks.com/2000/trick.php?trick_id=2880 ) does he use a specific type of scale (i.e. mixolydian, aeolian, etc.) for those and just legato over them or what?
I dunno, I'd think by now grammy nominations mean little to you and don't even excite you, considering how many times you got shafted out of them. It seems every time you release something you get nominated! That is well deserved, but by now you should have gotten one. Actually, now that I think about it I'll bet nominations still mean something to you - you're not really the type to be like, "yep, yet another grammy nom. Whatever, same old same old." I'm sure you're just as honored as the first time! Well good luck anyway, but although it would be cool for you to win, awards really mean nothing.
Congratulations on your Grammy nomination Joe! Hopefully either you or Steve will win. As many times as you have been nominated, I think it is about time for you to win. Enjoy 2002!
LydianR...you were nearly right about S.M.F. The first word is 'sick'. Joe confirmed this in one of his interviews. I was surprised too !! This isn't my favourite song title, by the way !! Always with me is one of my fave's.........later...luv anibur***
Yes Joe! Woodstock Jam is sooooo cool! thought so when Time Machine came out!!! Good luck in the studios....hope it goes smoothly! Yes, I think a DVD of the studio sessions would be majorly cool! Going back to the "Joe Satriani" record and watching "Reel Satriani" and the creative processes going on for "Luminous Flesh Giants"(my fav) amoung other tunes was so fantastic! Well, anyways better bugger off before I get shot like a horse with a broken leg!! Peace........Barrie
hey ^_^ guess what I found on audiogalaxy.com, I found satch's rare '5th' song from his original 'joe satriani' EP, y'know "TALK TO ME".Its brill! easily the best of the five, kind of a mixture between 'banana mango','crushing day', and 'back to shalla ball'.But I think i know why joe didn't release it on time machine, theres a part in it that sounds VERY similar to back to shalla ball, and the ending is almost identical to the afformentioned song!BTW michelle, what do ya surpose "S.M.F" actually stands for? (go on, have a guess^_^, I've always thought it stands for "slow motha' fu&^%r", but then again...maybe not;p).Also, this is a question to JOE:Did you originally write KILLER BEBOP as a show case for the amazing skills of MANU KACHE(sp?), 'cause he really kicks ass on it!!^_^ Also, are you going to work with MANU again??(he's cool!)
2Ton- I have a little Beringer in my home set-up. They are very good. Work out how many channels you need, add 4..lol.. I didn't do that, then got some more kit.... the result is that I need to upgrade [and I've only had it a year]... lol... Biggest JS- You are STILL quite blind. I did not say that JEM's are cheap. I said that Basswood is. This is the whole issue with Ibanez..cheap materials and poor to ok workmanship for expensive guitars [Japs included]. Heavy duty parts.... utter rubbish... the components are all pretty much the same. I've had several Ibanez guitars appart [including PRMAN's JS1000, Universe, JEM7V and Y2K JEM-DNA because I service and set them up for him]. The parts that change in the JEM's are the pick-ups... [the 7V has Evo's the Floral has PAF-PRO etc].. and the necks [different JEM models have slightly different neck thicknesses], the rest is the same. The JEM's have the high pass filter on the Vol control that the RG's don't. All RG's are fitted with the same pick-ups and they are cr@p. Having an artists name on the guitar does not mean that the artist has control at all... it normally means that it is a mass produced copy of the guitar the artist uses that he's customised his own or with the manufacturer.... And... Oh my god.... Vai using a 555 live... That means I could have gone to a gig where he could have dive-bombed on a TRS.. I want my money back....lol.. MAK.. we will never win this.. we are infidels in the shrine of the JS1000 / JEM7V.. will are cursed and will be cast into the pit of damnation / Fender / MM / Jackson / Korean Ibanez for all eternity... ============================ Vodaphone for 3G
Mark, I am 99% sure it is a Fulltone Ultimate Octave. Check it out at www.fulltone.com. Happy new year Joe and everybody out there in satch land. Any new stuff on the new CD?
Joe I really need to know what that pedal was that you used at the "live in San Francisco" That you said was a hendix type pedal,in the dvd, it was in the backstage, but u didn't say what it was... thanks

Psycho Monkey, A Train of Angels and A Piece of Liquid were named by Z.Z. ... Rubina, Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness, Cryin' and several others are songs powerful enough to make some cry. I one of them. Now isn't that so much better than shred?
Rubinas Blue Sky Happiness is very well named:It sure as Hell makes me Happy when I hear it.Satch Boogie: That's a given! Raspberry jam: That one make me want to go & make a PB&J.lol...Summer Song: Fast Women & Beautiful cars,Whoa!..I am become death :Got that one right!Until we say goodbye:I can see his logic...Joe is as good naming his tunes as he is writing them.Piece to all...:)
My sincere thanks to my doc (drugs) who lied when I asked about the injection (he said she, whoever, had experience), and my thanks to the worms in the belly (Archer) for making me alive again. Sorry but I have to tell you all: "Dear friend who took a photo from my Nikkon Camera, I understand what that lick in my neck meant: "puppies" (see you in my house if you dare). The Civil Engineer and the Murilo will not bother us anymore (1 left). The woman who was abused in the times the Pacini's patient ruled made a mistake in letting me go." !!! Feelings: Waldir dressed in black swearing nonsense in my front and my friend telling me she doesn't come with me to my best place in town (FtMtl-Tag).
Its great to see everything went well during the holidays!!I know I'm late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF CAMPITELLI(dec 29th)!!!!!!!!!!Hey Joe,I was wondering how in the world have you wrote so soulful solos and melody in 'Rubina'...I don't know,everytime I listen to that song I get a big shiver all the way my body,like a spiritual orgasm,you gotta explain me how you do that!!!!!!!!!!!Take care....
MATT-I'm late sorry:(.........congratulations for Berkley scolarship:)!!!!!!!
Health for eveybody!
Snowboarding does not agree with me at all. I tried it once in London, Ontario while I was visiting some friends. I probably spent a good 5 hours on the bunny hill painting my butt black & blue. Finally I got proficient enough to move up to the nice rolling hill where I thought I was going to die. I think the really cool song titles are MPHGT, Rasberry Jam Delta-V, Banana Mango 1 & 2, The Power Cosmic
It's got to be a lot of fun comming up with titles for instrumental songs,
..Dweller on the threshold is a awsome name for a song, also, A piece of liquid,
Lords of karma, Hordes of locust, Engines of creation, The enigmatic, hell, there all good names......I don't snowboard, But i ski-sometimes........Joe rules.....bye
Michelle,... & we have more fantastic titles in the pipeline !!!We all look forward to them Joe. I am sure ZZ Satriani came up with A Train Of Angels, didn't he ? Perhaps there are a few others he takes credit for too ? Hope all goes well in the studio next week Joe.......luv anibur****
Favorite song title...can't have just one - Psycho Monkey, M.P.H.G.T., A piece of Liquid, F.I.A.B.D., S.M.F.(the possibilities are endless), Tears in the Rain, and A Train of Angels. It blows my mind how Joe comes up with this stuff. A PIECE of liquid? I love that! lol!
RICKY! Whats up man!? I met you when Matt came up to see me....We jammed! I will be calling you soon my friend, I have just been so busy with work! JOE....Nice to see you here again, thats great your vacation went well. Now you can hit the studio well rested! See ya...
Date: Fri Jan 4 03:29 RickyGarcia<joe@rickygarcia.com>:
HI!! I have a short video on my website now shot during the production of one of my songs: http://www.rickygarcia.com/video .It´s a quicktime movie (6 MB) just follow the link to get it. I recommend to download it to your hardrive first in order to change the size.
I'm getting settled :)....Still waiting for a better/faster internet connection
so I can view the WEBCAST and vote!!!!....Also just wanted to say VAI's "LOVE
BLOOD" absolutely rocks!!!!....JOE! Great to hear your going to be loosened up
for the studio! Look out World, JOE's got a 7 stringer in hand, and I can just imagine that there are going to be some deep, heavy, funky rockin' tunes coming
out on this one :)......I hope Mr. CAMPA and everyone else is rested and warmed
up for some JOE ROCK!!................Can't wait!!!!....Peace all, Mike

Hey Joe- I know what ya mean about being it the right mood for "Woodstock Jam". I once put it on repeat in my discman on a long drive from LA to Sacramento. It was quite a musical experience. Especially when dozed off; I had the strangest dream. :o)
Hey Joe, Snow Boarding sounds like a lot of fun,I may give it whirl when I head out west.Joe can you give us a clue as to what direction the new album will be heading or do you want it to be a total suprize?What are your favorite current albums and artists and have they had any influence on the sound of the new tunes you will be recording?.....michelle,BassMan0525 and jblaze1 thanx for your comments,I'm still in awe of it all....jblaze1: I agree with you on the mixer,I can use my stereo for play back.I'm looking at the Behringer 8 channel 12 input(MX1604A)$179 and the Behringer 12 channel 20 input(MX2004A)$269 this will leave me some money for a new pickup for my SG which needs one bad and a new set of headphones.I could hook the monitors up to my BR-8 for play back but even though it has 64 tracks that can be mixed 8 at a time it only has 3 inputs and only two of those can be recorded at the same time,one being dedicated to guitar and one dedicated to vocals the other is a stereo RCA jack so I do need a mixer more than I need monitors at this point.
LYDIAN, i like the title "friends" personally, it has a lot of personal meaning :) and also lights of heaven is well named. almost all of his songs fit the visualization you get from his songs, unless they are already infulenced by the title. anyways, the title can help make seen what Joe wants us to see in a song...... interesting. ======================================================== in attack of the clones, the scene with Nsync, Nsync gets blown up. HA HA! that's the best way they could have put an Nsync cameo. that's great...... DEVIL'S SLIDE! HI JOE!
Date: Thu Jan 3 23:00 MegaBoyd (Boyd)<megaboyd@hotmail.com>:
I am going up to the Sierra's for some boarding on Monday.......Gotta Bring Devils Slide & the rest of EOC for a good Listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe - Snowboarding eh? Something not many of us can handle. Are you any good? I'm really excited about the new album. Much like Matt. Every album, I hear some sot of musical advances in your playing. Definately your style has matured since Surfin'. I still love that album. CAN'T WAIT!
Y'know, I really dig the outlandish names satch comes up with for his works^_^, IMO a good song not only stimulates the mind through hearing, but also through visualization, and the sounds invigorating the imagination.I really love the fact that all of joe's song titles are carefully thought over to signify the mood e.g.'home' 'moroccan sunset' 'flying in a blue dream''rubina's blue sky happiness' etc.WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SATCH SONG TITLE? Mines got to be the 'mystical potato head groove thing'!;-)
I think the Sears Model 69 Eliminator blows away a high dollar Ibanez! They are made of the finest quality compressed fiberboard body & chicken wire frets,polished to a glowing shine,Precision wound,10 penny nail pick-ups,88 frets & a visegrip locking nut.Can't beat that with a dead cat!!!!:)
Hey Joe... can you believe Ridley Scott is re-editing 'Blade Runner' so that
it's easy to tell that Deckard is a replicant? And N'Sync is going to have a
cameo in 'Attack of the Clones'? Things are teetering on the edge of
uncool. Save us!!!
hey joe, scott here...do you think you could try to come to richmond, va on your 2002 tour...i have been waiting for u to come since last summer when u came to washington d.c. Unfortunately i was out of town that day. im sure richmond would be very happy to have u come to put on a concert for us. talk to u later...
Joe as your greatest ever South African fan, I have now moved to Australia in the hope that you will be touring here some time! What are the chances?
Cheers
Jonny Liebenberg
Thanks Joe!! Great to hear your vacation went well!! And to be honest, I think I am more excited that you are hitting the studion than you are! haha :) All the best man! I know you're gonna drop our jaws! Later...
Hi Joe! Wow, thanks for answering that question. Glad you agree you have to be in the mood for it. You have to admit, it's one wacky tune! Nice to hear you had a great time on your vacation, although slippery sticks on my feet just ain't my thang. lol! I'd be in the chalet having a hot toddy by the fire with Bif & Muffy...not! Can't wait to hear the new stuff. keep us posted. Love ya dude!!
Mak - With signature models, the artist has COMPLETE control over every guitar. That's how it works. ex. Ibanez does not make a Jem with Air Nortons without asking Steve. Steve has played the 555 live before. If you read on his website he also mentions the 555 as the more affordable JEM and those of which for lefties. ............................ Hey Joe. I can't wait for the new album. I'll be waiting to see you again on your next your.
Hello Joe and everyone,
It's so great to be able to talk to fellow Satch fans. People who connect with his music like I do. Joe is by far my favorite musician and my biggist musical influence.
Joe,
I can't wait to hear your new album. I know it's gonna be great. I love that 7-string JS you showed us in the webcast. It looks like a 7-String "MoHog" (if I got the name right). It's gonna be great to hear what kind of stuff you have composed on it. If it wasn't for your music I wouldn't have picked up a guitar. Thank you for bringing music into my life. Did you hear Crystal Method's Tweakend yet? I think you'd like it. They got Tom Morello to play guitar. It's awsome. Check it out.
To All,
Theres a new guitar you guys gotta check it out. The Fender Iron Maden Strat. Go to your local music store and play it, ask questions later. It's like a strat on steroids. Floyd Rose Trem, Maple Neck, Seymore Duncan Humbucker on the bridge thats the size of a single coil, and two Seymore Duncan Rails on the neck and middle! You guys will love it. If you have played it, what do you think of it?
Feel Free to e-mail me!
Happy New Year!...a bit late, sorry...Snowboarding in the Sierra's was
great this holiday season...Rain, snow, ice, nothing slowed us down, not
even a little sun!...Five more days 'till the studio sessions start up and I
can't wait!......"Woodstock Jam" was a live recording by John Cuniberti, in
the barn at Bearsville Studios, as I ran the band through this strange song
idea I had. I still love that recording, but you've got to be in right mood for
the music!... later, joe...
Joe - How was your holiday? Did you go boarding in Tahoe? If so, you were there for some great powder. I can't wait to hear what amazing stuff begins to take shape with you and the guys starting monday!
JS CLONE - I don't believe it was Vai's choice to make the 555. That's more of the Ibanez marketers saying, "Let's build a Vai model that's more accessible to people." Same with the JS100. If Vai and Satch really did have input on those models, why don't they play them? Now, I know Vai has a 555 neck on Evo, but the rest is all 7V. It's just part of the contract. Also, I never said the wriring on JEMs was bad. I said the electronics in the JS100 are crap and they are. 2 Ibanez "AH" humbuckers that need to be switched out. At least all JEMs have Evo's. That's what I meant by electronics...I could easily wire a guitar as well as they do...it isn't hard if you've done it before. I guess my point isn't that Ibanez guitars are all crap...they make some great ones and with enough modification, you can make a great Ibanez. It's more that can get more for your money on a high end guitar buying from a company like Godin or Ernie Ball (in my opinion). Hey, at least Ibanez isn't as bad as PRS...man, great guitars, but what you pay for those is beyond absurd.
How dare u say that the RG550 is better than a JS1000 and JEM7V?!?!?!? You're out of your mind!! je,je. U knew it was coming. ======RUBESTER: Pedi que me dieran todos 20 dolares, para comprar todos los monos de los Simpsons que salen en Febrero. O sea, NO CHRISTMAS FOR ME, YET!! PS2 kicks @ss, bro! Very cool ==== And now that we're on this subject, QUESTION OF THE DAY FOR EVERYONE: WHAT'S THE WORST CHRISTMAS GIFT YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED? I have to say white dress slacks. I was 15. Dress slacks for christmas at age 15. Pretty low, huh? Of course, they were only used once and after 2 years my mom just gave up and gave them to her church. Today, everyone chooses his/her own present and gives the receipt to the giver for payback. No surprises, either good or bad. Later. MEX-PEAT!!
IBANEZ RULES TRY ANY GILBERT MODELs. !WOLF WAR 3. i dont understand your last comment about jason becker and how it includes me or what not. i got a letter from jason becker two days ago :) im makeing another tribute very slowed down a little hint of vai but mostly my own stuff im finding my own style right now experimenting with pedals. might get a sans amp of some sort and maybe a mesa in the future
Mak - I do agree they are very overpriced. The Customs and signatures are far from poor quality though. Not to mention the Prestige models. ............. Clarky - Actually JEMs that are made of basswood aren't cheap. Ibanez did not choose to make the JEMs basswood. It's 100% Steve Vai's choice. He has complete control over every type of JEM that is released through Ibanez. Basswood = Vai's choice. I still take alder over it anyday *cough* 7V *cough*. ......... MAK - If you check out the electronics on JEMs, you'll find all the switches and knobs ar heavy duty. All the wiring is done very well. The routes are seamless.
Yep I agree with JS Clone 1 and anyone else for that matter and doesn't appreciate the abusive nature of some of the comments around here! I know I'm sick of it! T2J needs an overhaul!! Webmaster dude (Yamboy)! Surely there's something you can do to make this place a fun place to visit again! Don't get me wrong, I think it's still the best website around! There's no other website I know of that you can interact with other fans so easily! 5 more songs..... Time Machine, The Forgotten Part2, The Bells Of Lal Part2, All Alone, Lights Of Heaven!!!
MAK- I agree with you... I know I flamed Ibanez a little earlier but despite that I still think that the RG550 is quite likely to be one of the 'best value for money' instruments out there. If Ibanez stuck good pickups on a RG550EX like PAF PRO's or Evolutions, made it in more colours [left handed too.. lol] and priced it like a standard RG550, that would be a serious combination for the money. I would then break my news years resolution and buy quite a few of them...lol. The top Ibanez models are good guitars but not as good as many folks think especially given the amount of money you have to pay to own one. Also, basswood is definately not what you'd expect a 'top' model to be made of... it is an alder substitute [not a great one either].... So...Blind dipsticks out there that are reading impared- OK ... I now expect to get flamed for saying that the RG550 is better than a JS1000 and JEM7V [which of couse I have not but it'll be 'me season' anyhow]... Do your worst... make me laugh.... ================================Telefonica for 3G
I have a real hard time trying to understand people that constantly vomit negativity. I can be negative, but I don't do so just for the sake of doing it. But one thing I have noticed, is that the people who think they are too good or too cool to be hanging around a bunch of lowlifes, such as us, keep on hanging around. I can't figure this one out. I mean were obviously not cool enough and will probably never reach their level. I guess they just take pitty on us poor dumb people. Really fellas, you don't have to waste your time here with us, go on and be free with other narrow-minded, dimwitted, loneley people such as yourselves. Sincerely, Tru.
Watched "LA Confidential" with Evbro last night. Man, if cops could still kick ass like they used to, there'd be a hell of a lot less crime. JS CLONE - It's not so much that they're poorly made, it's more that they're decent guitars at prices that are far too high. But hey, so are all Fenders. All those US/J Customs are ungodly expensive and really aren't that much better than the stock guitars. In terms of signature series, you can get a Korean mass-produced JS100, with awful electronics, and the lower end trem for $650, without a case. That's FAR too expensive. I realize that some people love theirs, but after a while, I couldn't stand mine. My RG7620 is a pretty solid guitar, worth the $570 I paid for it used, but definitely NOT the $900-1000 it went for when it was new.
hey mak, well i just compared AUS to U.S prices and far out, they're expensive!! the JS1000 is $3500 aus, which makes is $1750 U.S and it's about $600 cheaper to import it from musiciansfriend.com. I'll need to try out the digitech racks, but i'll just stick with the P.O.D for now.
hi, i'm a big fan of yours and i like your music very much. if i'm a guitarist it's all because of you and your music. as you can see i admire you a lot. i wrote some instrumental music and i'd like my music to be listened because i think that it's really good. i would like to put you some questions. first of all, is there the possibility to send you a recording of my music because i'd to have your opinion. second, as my desire is to contact some important record labels, could you help get in touch with one of them? thanks a lot. alessiomagrini@inwind.it ********IF SOMEONE COULD HELP, I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!***************
Hi Joe
A Happy New Year to you and your family! Your last album, Engines of Change, was great....as usual!
I think your combination of fab guitar playing with a modern dance kind of drum
sounds is really cool..more..MORE..MORE!! Do you have any plans to visit Swindon
in the UK sometime?
Take care for now!
Arshad
i agree with some folks here, the Ibanez guitars are not all they are cracked up to be. EXCEPT for the JEMS, and the JS1000's, which are the SWEETEST guitars ever. you all have to admit that. i play a js1000. they are so nice. the harder you push them, the better it sounds. it's amazing... amazing guitars. i will say i am not impressed with the s series guitars. they just don't sound that good....
hello all i am still here to wish all my best wishies for this start of year you can show me on http://www.lag.fr on artiste JJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE come to have a look on the lag guitar, french product good !!!!!!!!!

saying goodbye !!!!
Hi Joe! Hi everyone! Just wanted to share something I saw this past Sunday at Balboa Park in San Diego. In front of the visitor's center sat a young man who was born with no arms and was playing an acoustic guitar with his feet!! He was great considering his condition but what was most impressive was his ability to pick with his left foot and play cords with his right foot!! I couldn't believe it! He was playing AND singing Smoke on the Water and several other songs extremely well. I didn't catch his name but I would recommend for anyone in San Diego or visiting the town to go check him out if he's there. He'll gladly take requests and after talking to him for a few minutes, you don't even notice he doesn't have arms and is playing a guitar with the neck propped up on two books! Take care all and have a great year, especially Joe!! Can't wait for the new album!!
Hi Joe! Just bought the Live In SF DVD-Very cool!!
I'm a guitar player and have been trying to figure out the lead to "Hordes of Locusts" and am having a bit of trouble due to overtone "bleed" etc. Do you have any tabs or music that is correct for this song ( I bought a book but it's wrong). Thanks for all the inspiration! You really make my day sometimes just by listening to your work!

2Ton: Your question brings us into the realm of:Which came first?The chicken Or the Egg?I would say,get the mixer first.If you are planning to use the equipment at home,you can always get monitors later,Headphones work too.,or if you have semi nice home speakers,they will work!But you need the engine in the car before the seats!lol.Get a nice mixer with the gift certificate.Use it to soften the blow as for the mixer will cost you a bundle!but worth it.What are you thinking of getting.I would like to get the mini Makkie or a Beringer!Tascam's are nice too.Mini Makkie would be my first choice,You really don't need any more than 24 tracks to accomplish your goals!& they have the same innards as the big one(32).I'm jealous! I've needed a mixer for a long time but can't afford the one I want.Good luck in your search!:)Let me know what you get!I'm curious!:)

Joe, PLEASE come to play in Italy, ROME!!! There are many people waiting for you and your group, We Want You!!!!!Please,please, please ;-)
Take care, God bless you!
WEBMASTER - If you will please read below you will notice 2 new "fans" that have posted and are directly related to the quarrels which have recently arisen. We request some form of moderation. Thank you.
They said it (Cassia Eller's passing away) is like a mistery, but in my opinion she has drowned indeed. I never meant to decieve my child called Carolina if you remember when you provoqued a fight in my boate (sorry 8 year older, just like the german that I faked to kill, now living in peace at USA and sending a tear to her first lover = FOREVER) I think it's over sir Vips (spair pilot).
hmmmmmmm, why hasn't anyone continued my B.B. King blues improv yet???? Let's try this again, same verse: "Welllllllllllllllllllllll.........they say you play a reeeeeeeeeeal mean geetar.........." next person!
HEY VAI'S BRO: EOC was hard for me to like, initially. But after seeing the live performances of Devil's Slide, Borg Sex, UWSG and Clouds Race ATS, it all made sense. Devil's Slide, to me, is the heaviest song on Joe's current set list. So my question to u is: Have u seen Joe live after he released EOC? If u haven't then that explains why u don't like the album. If u have seen Joe live recently and still don't like EOC, it would be interesting to know the reasons why. One thing is true, though: EOC sounds very "thin", while the red album or even Crystal Planet sound very full and warm by comparison. Later.
I think Vai's brother in law needs a beating sooner than later. You have too much time on your hands. Forget all that kindness stuff I said, now it's getting annoying. You wonder why Joe never comes on here. Some of you are so tough, hiding behind a screen of glass. Losers.
ADDAM FOX - Hey man, I'm 18...playing what I wanna play. Album sessions are filled completely with 14 pieces of original music. As for you...someone who is obviously bored with life - where are you goin with it? Apparently you are at a dead end and don't know where to turn. At least I can say to myself when I get older that I did EXACTLY what I WANTED to do with my life. Have a great new year. Later...
Pete - It's about time you got EOC!!! ;-) ===== Everyone, just ignore the people here with the fake names and everything. If we don't say anything, they'll go away. ...Austin...
VBIL - Did I not ADMIT I was WRONG about that previously? Are you too thick to realize that I REALIZED I was MISTAKEN? Are you too DENSE to realize this? Are you a natural @$$hole or is it something you had to work hard at? You want the video? You know how to get it. ...... WWIII - I don't know... should I comment on your intelligence or arrogance? Or the fact that you have nothing to do with me yet persist to comment on me? Or the fact that you know who you can easily obtain the video yet ... YOU'RE NOT! ................. ................. Is anyone else reading what i'm reading here?
hey joe what you up to? any word on the new album yet? what is it going to be like, rock, blues, jazz????? comw on give us a hint
speke to you soon
dave....
Maybe someday that imposter will grow a personality of his own.. :) Sorry for
that guy Joe.. oh well what can you do.. :) Hope you had a great and safe family
holiday. Take Care.. Adam (The Real One)
My favourite five songs are as follows...1: House full of mammaries. 2: Surfing with the mammaries. 3: Big bad mammaries. 4: Until we say mammaries. 5: The mystical mammary groove thing. All these songs were recorded in Silicon valley studios. And all were engineered by Plum Locos mom in "Feel-around 5.1 Dobly"
some while ago i read on the site here about Joe's music being played on tv programs in europe. Just wanted to let you know that back in June or July 2001 "engines of creation" was used on a pakistani program on some hip young people channel. I am prompted to write this now with so much delay becacause around 7:55 pm Pakistan time, Jan 3rd 2002, i heard "devil's slide" playing on the channel PTVWORLD, another pakistani channel. when i ran to the tv, it ended so don't know what it was used for. Anyway, I thought I should just post this from Pakistan. i have a connection speed of 7.2 k right now so not going to hang around. bye. thanks.

Greetings Addam fans. Greetings Joe. Greetings Matt. Happy New Year to you all and all the best for 2002 to everyone here. Been a long time since I rock and rolled on here (hey, that sounds like a song, better grab a pen). First of all, a big SORRY to everyone that has received my ADDAM FOX SECRET STASH box set. A lot of people have e-mailed to say that once they had unscrewed the base plate, there was no suprise! This is true. It should contain a special taco with sensemelia sauce - but I ate them all. If anyone is missing the taco, e-mail me and I shall send you the Vai boxset by return post. Steve gave me the 9,500 that he has not been able to sell and said "Dude - get rid of these for me before Pia sees them all. She said it would never work and I blew all her Christmas present money on it." Of my other news, I have spent a lot of time in the studio with Matt Kings band COE. It's been a real learning curve for Matt, as he has only just worked out that he can't produce an album of Satch covers only as it runs into problems with the copyright laws in the USA. Perhaps we can put out a flexi disc in Mexico as I hear that Satch has a huge fanbase there. This will serve a dual purpose as it will help the American economy as well. Any Mexican fan wanting the flexi disc will need to enter the USA at night over the border in order to work at Macdonalds - thus earning enough money in a week (rather than having to work for 7 months in Mexico). I suggest that you all enter the USA at the Big Bend in Texas as border guards are few here. Addam Fox Taco Bell Burrito lunchtime special for $4.99 with a pepsi endorsee.
happy new centurey joe stariani and people on chatsite. i hope all your thoughts as you sleep arrive true. i not been on site for little time as i work hard like a blackman my boss say. i earn lot of yen for my family and my house i need in kobe. it a new place to live with garden so i work to move yesterday. why so much bad words on this site all time. it like john lennon never met yoko ono i think and geaorge harrison dead now two. what that all about joe. make sure you not next. ha ha only laughing joe you will live long time in usa i hope. *-) i wink with eye as it joke ha ha. buy everone here and peace like lemmy from motorhead say.
Webmaster asked you guys nicely, now in the famous words of those little gangster guys on the Bugs Bunny cartoon "SHUT UP SHUTTIN' UP!". PETE, now you can REALLy enjoy what we've all been talking about - Flavor Crystal 7, Attack and all the other cool songs on the c.d. I'm watching Joe & Eric do their thang on Borg Sex on the LISF dvd right now. Killer stuff! 2 TON, sounds like you had a great time meeting your sister. Merry Christmas to you! Great story! Shame about the Jags and the Chefs. lmao! Great googly moogly! GANNMAN, any news on PROGX?
Now where was I before the webmaster decided to have a fresh page? Aaahh yes - Canadians! I have heard that Regan had the best idea.."We will begin bombing in 5 minutes"..LOL. Clarky / Mak: Glad to see that someone else on here has finally admitted in public that Ibanez guitars are not all that they are cracked up to be! About time. Although I was less than shocked to see Biggest Clown pointing out that it is the Korean versions (and not the Jap ones) that are cak! Wrong again pimple boy! The majority all suffer from the same problem. Poor build quality. But then an expert luthier like you Clone boy does not need that pointed out - do you? You do, after all, own a 555 Jem Jr (the Jr part being very apt), so you know all about the poor quality. Then again, you only need to change the trem to make it a 7VWH. That one will go down in history as one of (the several 100) stupid comments that you have made, and that was only last year! Barrie Poole: Sorry to hear that your mom lost her breasts to cancer. That must have been a hard thing for her to deal with. Let's hope it's not something that is carried on in the blood line. Mothers against Canada for G3.
Been a long time since I posted so thought I would drop back in. Still seems that not alot changed which is good. Can't wait for Joe's new album,, hope there is some acoustic stuff on there, also maybe a little rockabilly would be fun, but Joe knows what he's doing so whatever he does you know will be great. Well I'm gonna stop kissing his ace and take off. Joe Rules!!!
Had I known I was making the last post before the fresh page - I may have tried to come up with something clever. But, wait! What if Luini's got it set to turn over whenever I make a post!! Damn, I don't have anything clever to say now either!
Joe, nice to hear you are going back in the studio. I can't wait to listen and to see you live again! Just wanted to say hello to all my friends on here, and say thank you to the webmaster for making his comment. If anyone has anything negative to say, including myself, hold it in and kill them with kindness! It works so well. I usually explode, but I found that smiling at people that bother me or waving to someone after I cut them off on the road goes a lot further than the finger! Lol....By people...Craig
i have a horrible confession to make...i only recieved a copy of engines of creation tonight (for a late xmas gift)...and i have lived off the until we say goodbye and borg sex samples and a devil's slide mp3 which i grabbed off a site which hosted a pre-release of EOC (pre march13 2000), for almost 2 years!...and others i have heard played live....anyways, i love this CD, top song is 'slow and easy'...this is amazing work joe
O.k,enoughs enough WW3, I honestly feel very sorry for you, where do you get all this negativity and anger from? Where you neglected as a child, or did your mother not love you enough? Please tell everyone what's REALLY on your mind, we're here to help! ^_^ SEE, if I can show kindness to you, then why don't you show kindness to me, or are you in the habit of following the example of insane lunatics like usama bin laden and carry out unprovoked attacks on good natured people? What you are doing on this site is exactly the same to what that Idiot did to new york, only to a lesser degree obviously.
On a lighter note, does anyone know what wah-pedal satch uses nowadays? I was thinking of getting a bad-horsie, but i just love the various subtle tones satch gets from half-tilting his wah-wah.Does he mostly use a VOX, a CRYBABY or what? Also what model or type? Thanx guys, peace WW3, the world would be a better place if everyone with your mentality would just lighten-up and get their heads out of their arses.Once again PEACE ^_^
G'day Joe! I'm a 23 year old fan from Australia, also a guitarist. (Like most of us here!) I was given the Joe Satriani - Live in SF DVD for my 22nd birthday which was just recent, on the 29th of Dec, and I was absolutely blown away and shaky with excitement and pure feelings of awe and inspiration as I was finally able to watch one of the biggest influences, both from a musical perspective and from a "someone I look up to and want to model myself on" perspective; right on screen in front of me, playing so fantastic and being so sucked in by his screen and aural prescence! Just amazing, a fantastic feeling to see you play and hear you squeeze the notes from each of your songs (which are admittedly complex and very challenging) so consistently accurately, so faithful to the originals, yet still billowing with "...humanistic warmth...", if I may steal another Joe admirer's quote. You are a very rare and special talent, Mr. Satriani (I use formality to make the point clear when I am humbled by someone), and myself and every one of your fans is very lucky to have had, and to continue to have, the powerful musical of inspiration that is you! Cheers! May you be blessed with uncontrollable bouts of creativity for the next album!
happy new year to all with the best for of you and perhaps joe we met us in france this year thanks for your music you make dream all the day for me like jimi for you it's very special thanks again. and again and again happy new year to all your familly and all familly's fan !!!!!

LYDIANRetard- hey my main man are you sure that wasn't a BS music degree course? i smell another paper tiger shredder in our midst.do you have a site with your own shreds too my main man or just a site filled with satch covers like our good friend mr. matt king? how about some jason becker clips passed off as your own like our resident chimp FUSION5000? let me tell ya a lil something keyboard tough guy the shredder shroeder shreds circles around you and your school chumps,we go way back and he even taught me a few things.even though i can masturbate and play eine kleine nachtmusik at the same time im by no means as good as the shredder shroeder or avarice as far as that goes.CLONE 1 - what happened my main man? you snowed in and cant get anyone to help you get your video on the net? did everyone laugh at you when you told them about your video and how you want to put it on your rockstar website? whats that? cant find a free webhost now? my my CLONEboy what will you come up with next? perhaps we will hear next how you were giving CLONE 2 lip service and you got slober all over the cable mode shorting it out. or CLONE 2 takes a dump in your computer and wiped his pimply white ass on the monitor so you cant see anything? how about during one of your 694 hour practicing sessions a string breaks,flys across the room and in an oswaldian twist it goes through the cable line, vcr and camcorder cutting the video in half? shut up already george CLONEy.....WW3: "i came in peace. i left you like the pimpled clone you are"

Ok, this is Austin again, on my dad's name... I goofed. That was supposed to be a :-(, not a :-). I'm not mean. LOL. ==== 2 Ton Tessie - That's great, but who are the Chefs? Hehehe...remember that Snickers commercial? ...Austin...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Joe I hope the new year finds you and your family in good cheer.My new year and Christmas has been nothing short of incredible.I met my Sister Patti and her two children for the first time in my life and they are awesome.We had a blast,went to a Football game(Jags vs. Chefs) which was close to the end and even though the Jags lost we had a great time. We also went to the old city of St.Augustine and took lots of pictures.The best part was getting to know each other and finding out that we have so much in common.God gave us all a very special gift this year, a Christmas that we will never forget. They are back in Portland,OR now and my wife and I plan on going to visit them this spring..........Plum Loco:$2,200 U.S. dollars? must be some guitar......jblaze1:I got a $400 gift certificate at George's Music. Should I buy Powered Studio Monitors or a Mixing Board? I need both but I haven't decided what to get first.I'm kinda leaning toward the monitors.
Clarky - I meant to say this before but... I wish we never got into a stupid argument about trems. If I annoyed you or set you off in any way, I apologize. ... Clarky/Mak - Ibanez are poorly made? Well there's the Korean ones, but the Japs? Are you including the sig models? What about the J-Custom/US-Custom? The signature models? I don't think you can really say their poorly made and mean that about every Ibanez guitar.
Um... this is strange. I posted first on the fresh page. I had the first post with the webmaster. We posted in the same minute because when I saw my comment and the webmasters, they were in the same minute... ............... ANYHOO that comment explained details of how you could retrieve the video. I am having trouble finding free webspace that allows at least 79.52mb. I also mentioned how some people have seen the video. People such as Barrie (THE man) Poole, Matt King and Pete Mulas. Since I can't find webspace I have to directly transfer the video to people for the time being. If you simply can't wait until I get webspace for it then you can either punch in my icq# 73569667 or my email on msn... or just email me. Really guys... you don't have to start being smartasses about "the boy who cried video" etc... ....................... WHY WAS MY COMMENT REMOVED WEBMASTER?
hey guys, that dude who said that it's not about speed is totally right, and having your ambitions set straight is good. but listen to this: if you have speed, GOOD! DON'T LOSE IT! not many people DO have speed, and if it comes relatively naturally to you, develop it. the more ability you have, the better able you are to express what you want to express. but there are tons and tons of players out there who are just fast, there is nothing special about their playing, really. that's how i feel about yngwie malmsteen. he just plays too many damn notes...
CLARKY - Yeah man. I swore I'd never buy another Ibanez too. Nevertheless, an RG 7620 has appeared in the collection as of Dec. 2001. Unfortunately, Ernie Ball only makes JP 7 strings, which cost a hell of a lot more than I have. And yeah, Ibanezes are overpriced and poorly made. Except in the bass department. I got a great bass for only $170. Hey, I have a USA Made Ernie Ball MusicMan Luke that never goes out of tune, has EMG active pickups ($$$), birdseye maple neck with rosewood fretboard, and it cost me $1200. When Ibanez makes a guitar like that for that price, I'll buy it. IBANEZ BOY - Holy crap man...$1500 AUS for a POD??? I got mine for $250 US. I don't know the exchange rate, but that sounds like a bad deal for you. I think I remember PETE saying JS1000s were ungodly expensive there too. Look online for it (ebay.com, musiciansfriend.com). They should ship to AUS. Good luck...they are worth it. You get what you pay for. If you have a lot of money laying around, get the POD Pro rack unit, or the DigiTech one. They both run about $550 US.
hi, this seems to be the only place worth going for guitar advice as quite a few of you actually know what you're talkin about so I'm looking at getting a P.O.D by Line 6, which is $1500 Aus. but then the guy i spoke to at the music store said that there's another product that's a third of the price the behringer V-Amp? I'm gonna play on both of them to find which ones better but does anyone know why the price difference is soo huge?? is it just a brand name thing or something else? if you reply please email me at jpbelcher@hotmail.com. thanks
O.k THATS IT!!! Im gettin' sick an %$%king tired of all the silly-arse comments from worldwarIII and his butt buddy.YOU GUYS NEED TO GET A LIFE!! don't you realize that NOBODY cares about shredding! you guys are living in the PAST! The reason why genius' like satch and vai have so many admirers is because they have tremendous soul and feeling for the guitar! They don't JUST play fast,thats EASY and its only the goal of AMATEURS to play fast! (I should know,I attended the guitar institute on a bmus music degree course,and EVERYONE there would piss on you! SHREDDERS are ten a penny! no one cares about souless people who simply PLAY FAST! I learned to play fast yonks ago,now I have cast away such CHILDISH AMBITIONS and have refined a soulfulness and FEEL for my instrument!)
You two are probably ranting on about all your BIG TECHNIQUE to compensate for your apparent lack of WEDDING TACKLE SIZE!^_^ YEAH! thats it EURIKA! You two have the HOTS for each other, and both of you are too macho & INTELLECTUALLY STUNTED to admit it!!!!!!!!
!!! Amen to that Zonin! Another album that digs into the blues would satisfy my hunger. The blues go way way down deep into the soul, and to hear them come out of Joe's fingers is fantastic. Let's start out our own little blues song here! Ok here we go, old school B.B. King stylez "Wellllllllllll...........you say you play a real mean geetar........." someone insert next line please.
happy hollidays joe and co. ...got Live in SF for Christmas and a new
violin bow and wah pedal... sweet... also,,, steve vai is the man... its
all about babushka and principesa(sp?) ...man, vai is a true musician... later all... Matt thanks for the help(new years resolution,, learn to read music)... see ya all later----thegoose-curtissmith
I'm waiting for one last Christmas present. My husband had an IOU for Portnoy's Liquid Drum Theater under the tree for me. He ordered it, then was told it was on backorder. Oh well, same thing happened with a cool Hendrix flag shirt, but I got it just in time to send it off as a Christmas gift ; ) I can't wait to see this dvd. Portnoy plays killer drums. Oh, and by the by, EOC kicks major ass! It's a great c.d.! peace**

Hi Joe. The righteous Buckeyes lost their bowl game, but they played well, they were down 28-0 and almost came back & won it. I was listening to Live in San Fran yesterday, I love Mystical Potato Head. I just bought a guitar on ebay, a Les Paul knockoff, can't wait to get it, it's been almost a year since I've owned a guitar. Take care.
Everyone that just posted about the Vai box set - Unscrew the bottom and pull the bottom panel out. There's a secret waiting for you. :-) ===== Wolf War III - Who is this "we" that you mention? The majority of us don't care how long the JS Clones take to get the video online. They don't need to prove anything to us at all. We know they play guitar together, and that's really all that matters. ...Austin...
did anyone read the webmaster's comment about attacks? stupid comments make this site unpleasant to visit. the other day i was in the chat section talking about some kool new hendrix concerts i was listening to for the first time until someone made me feel like a schmuck for listening to music that is 30+ years old. as an advertisement for the greatest guitar player to walk the planet, visit ~ www.jimihendrix.com ~ the encyclopedia section contains 5 full concerts and tons of great info about his short, yet inspirational life. ** joe, i think your new record should be a packed 80 minute disc containing some long songs (8 to 10 minutes). get on a groove like 'hear my train a comin' or 'voodoo' or 'tax free' and just play the shlt outta that chromeboy. get back to your blues roots. i still think "still dreaming" would be a great album title. bring back the mysticism this world so badly needs - hardly a challenge anymore. "we are perched headlong on the edge of boredom" ~ morrison. i want to turn on the new joe record in a few months and be enveloped in sound with the ability to get lost in its immensity for a while. gee joe, think you can handle that? =) looking forward to kool new satch stuff in 2002...
To whom it may concern..Hmmm Hmmm. I would look anyone in the eye and tell
them that i think EOC is a guiness piece of work unlike anything ever done before, and honestly mean it...i also play an ibanez and not because Joe does,
gibsons play nice, but SG'S are ugly and les pauls are to heavy and i hate the
stubby fat necks on them, i hate the trem's on stock fenders and PRS's and
ESP's are twice as expensive as Js 1000's, the 1000's look awsome are extremly
comfortable and don't come out of tune when i slam the wammy 1,200 bucks is
nothing for a guitar of this calaber.......Oh ya...Raspberry jam, flavor crystal 7, Banana mango II, Echo and Engines of creation, But if you ask me
tommorow, I would probably have a different list....later...Joe rules.
Happy New Year everyone [even to those that wrongly think that I don't like them...lol].. Let's hope that this year will be a better one than the last.. Avarice- I've studied the Bach Cello Suites [and I've messed with a few of them on my 7-string too ... great fun]. As for the versions, good question. I'm not sure that there is any single version that is seen to be 'the one'. I have all five versions and the Lute suites. One of the Lute Suites [BWV995] can also be consulted as another 'version' of Cello Suite V [obviously the performance markings will differ though so it is for pitch, ornaments and dynamics only]. The way to choose [if you intend to perform it] would be to get a performance score from a recognised music school such as the Guild Hall London etc. That way you don't get caught in the theoretical 'absolute version' mine field [which has existed for over 250 years]. It seems to me that JS Bach scored the original, Anna Magdalena transcribed it for publishing and either tried to correct Bach's mistakes or made transcriptional mistakes of her own [a bit of both I'd say] and other musicologists have tried to 'clean up' these errors in successive editions. My advice is "Don't go there. Just get a performance copy from a reliable source and enjoy it for what it is .... 98% JS Bach". For those that may actually give a stuff, My 'New Years Resolutions' are; 1/ Stop smoking [blown that already]. 2/ Never buy another Ibanez ever 'cos they're over-priced, over-rated and made badly out of cr@p materials [I'll most likely blow that too as the RG550EX l/h now exists and although I don't need one, it will somehow, no matter how hard I try to resist, appear in my collection via stealth technology and there will be nothing that I can do about it]. 3/ Never mention TRS bridges again because there's no point. No one actually understood what I was trying to say [which was never a TRS vs Edge contest]. Been there, waste of time going thru that BS again. Folks in here get all raged up over stuff they've obviously not fully read and then disappear off on some obscure angst ridden tangent. 4/ Read more in TTJ [because it is so funny] and say much less [???????????] ========================= Cellnet for 3G
Joe, how about a compilation of all your music videos on DVD in 5.1 Surround? You know, like all these other bands are doing now: Alice In Chains, Dave Matthews, etc. I know my friends and I would purchase it immediately. Just a suggestion... How about re-releasing videos such as Satch Tapes on DVD?? VHS just sucks now and days...
Date: Wed Jan 2 17:04 Wolf War III<satchwolf@hotmail.com>:
it appears JS CLOWN has a case of "the boy who cried video", still nothing to show for his big words.maybe CLONE 2 can put his salad bowl full of corn flakes down for 5 minutes and help CLONE 1 unplug his playstation and hook up his VCR? a new rig says these two buttpirates couldn't shred their ways out of a paper bag! "releasing for the love of god on video watch out now we rock" you two musical hamsters really need to pull your pants back up and get that video on the net.we're really tired of hearing idle shred threats from 2 pimple pocked teenagers full of homosexual angst.this PLUM fool really needs his name changed to BUM LOCO, living with his parents at age 30 haha!he seems to think he is some sort of next generation wayne charvel "im ordering a neck i built the body and im winding my own pickups out of moose hair and squirrel testicles" get a clue ya maroon. ***WOLF WAR 3 NEWSFLASH*** in my 1 cd box set i too will have a secret,if you get it right you get backstage passes to the WW3/Shredder SHroeder world tour featuring hulk hogan on bass.we have a limited supply so act quickly.on our tora bora stop we will be inviting the CLONES to join us on cave for a little jam, you guys known twinkle twinkle little star right? well anyway i must be going master p is hitting me up on my cell peace yo.
Fusion = hehe, it's igloo man, yeah I've got an electric toothbrush. It also works well to play good ol' hockey, and cut down some lumber! This boxed set from Vai seems to be taking an awfully long time. Good to hear that some people are still receiving there's. At least that way I know there's still a hope of me getting mine soon. Woodstock Jam rules!!!!!!!
Dear Joe,
Iam one of your millions of fans here in Manila, Philippines, I would like to request to you that when you perform in Hongkong, is it possible that you stop by here in Manila even for a one night concert? it will really be a great favor for your fans here, when Steve Vai, performed at Hongkong last November, we thought that he will be coming here because from HK it is just 1 1/2 hours to here. I hope that you can perform live here in our country.
Thanks again, More power and God Bless!

Joe,
Cool webcast, I enjoyed listening to you talk in and about your studio. And I
totally dig the new DVD...I think G3 needs to release a full concert on DVD! You
continue to be such an inspiration to me; you have changed my life and still do
everytime I hear your music. I look foward to your new album. Thanks bud, Kent.
I have just recieved Vai's box set last week and I think you all gotta listen to those stuff. There are albums in his early age which I found not so commercial as today. Check it out guys.
Vai's brother and law i don't know what you got against canadians (wich i am proud to be). Anyways seems vai's brother and law has some personal issiues and hate problems just let him release steam on us dont listen. anyways i got my digital delay (boss) and it broke in 3 days... i think i blew it up with my lamer adapter. anyways im getting another but i will probably break that one too. got an electric toothbrush! those rule besides brushing your teeth there great for cleaning earwaxs out scrubbing floor and toilet paper substitues and yes vai's brother in law even cleaning our eglues (im illitarite)(see!)
Hey guys try this page http://www.musiciansfriend.com/j.pl/6023635 if it doesn't work go to musicianfriend.com and look for an interview with Stu Hamm. STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! Later.
I had a greeeat time since the begining of this year... waiting for the Satch new stuff, Dream Theater new album, John Petrucci solo album debut, the tours man! The tours!! The new music im about to hear...i just cant wait!! so, for all of you great guitarists here (John Bowen, Ricky G, Matt K, Peter M, Avarice...and so many others amazing guys), KEEP PLAYING!!! Bring us so much musical pleasure this year too. And i have no doubt about that this year a "new talent" gonna be discover here on the T2J section. God bless you all this year!!
I'm so sorry Vai Bro In Law! I have a hard time understanding you because you have a mouthful of crap! Actually I was bottle fed! Mom has no teats!? Cancer! You're right, about everything! I'm Canadian, I live at home with Ma and Pa! I jack off (with my left hand, for a workout when I'm not playin guitar) Simply because I like to (Porn is Free)! When I'm darn good and ready, I'll move out....probably this year sometime, and then my girlfriend can take over!! And who else would cut the grass and shovel the snow for my poor old parents anyway!? Buddy, I have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of! Do You??? Obviously because you attack others to avoid your own problems! Bu-bye!
Natasha, the survivor of White Snake who got a kiss by Richie (Bon Jovi) and an album signed by the hole band, don't forget to send the (1 year 97 - 2002 4 year) boy your thief! Never say good bye in the AIWA (500) NO PAIN.
VBIL - I love Engines Of Creation. Awesome album. ===== lydianR - The song "Speed Of Light" was also in a movie...Super Mario Brothers. ===== Everyone - I'm not going to name names, but we need to chill out here. Just ignore the insults, everyone. ...Austin...

i don't know too much about the fights going on in here, but if it involves "vai's brother in law" then i think what i am about to say applies. NO guitar player is better than the other. all of our creative minds are different. we are all different, not better. you can be technically BETTER, or more knowledgable, but hey, that doesn't account for much. every guitarist out there brings something different to the table and we should all appreciate it, and celebrate the one thing that we all love GUITAR!
Hey, guys. I have to agree with the Webmaster on this - let's just drop the whole crap about who's better, or any preconcieved notions of other people, who we don't even know. Vai's brother in law, and WolfWarIII...I mean things like you two do. There's absolutely no point to go insulting perfectly good people. They never did anything to you, so why do it to them? Go on your own judgement of them, on a topic that wasn't started as a stupid argument and then turned into a T2J war - talk to them about something completely separate, and things will probably be a lot sweeter. Hey, Avarice, how about getting one of those 32 hour per day sessions on tape, and recording it real-time so that it plays in 10 minutes? LOL Just kidding! Good to see you back, because I think you lightened up a lot during your last few days in your previous stint here. Randell, nothing new on that site just now, I'm afraid! I'm teaching myself sax right now, and I've been concentrating on that a lot more - I'll finish the lessons, though, don't worry. Just might be a while. :o) Anyway, that's it from me, so take care, everybody, and please - for the good of everybody's sanity, drop the fights, and treat this new year with some respect. We had enough tragedy and anger last year. Gary. [*****http://crazyfritzy.iuma.com/*****]
I received the "Live in San Francisco' DVD for christmas and all I can say is wow! The album is awesome but it is so incredible to see Joe and the boys actually performing it. Incredible! Thanks, Joe and company
ahh.... fresh page for a fresh new year! don't forget to fill out the poll on the
home page if you haven't yet! only days until joe enters the studio to begin
work on the next album! oh yeah, try to chill on personal attacks against other
folks-- it doesn't accomplish much and no one enjoys reading that stuff!
