heh, joe..i got this mad idea, i know it's not really your type of song, but next g3 tour.. "house is a rockin'" by srv... ooooooooooooooooooooooooo such a kickin song..

PhrygDom - Well, I sent an e-mail to the trouble shooting thingy at Yahoo! and am stull awaiting a reply. The thing is, if it's totally f*cked, then I won't get a reply... lol. Perhaps I'll just have to open a new account with somone else.

Local Dude and Matt King - I just saw that scale (Phrygian Dominant #7, double harmonic minor, blah blah...) referred to as the Gypsy scale in a book called "The Art of Joe Satriani". The precise quote is this: Some of Satriani's other favourites include the Hindu scale (1 2 3 4 5 b6 b7), the Gypsy scale (1 b2 3 4 5 b6 7), the Dorian #4 (1 2 b3 #4 5 6 b7), and the Hungarian scale (1 #2 3 #4 5 6 b7). I knew it had another name... By the way, the Hindu scale (also known as Mixolydian b6) is interesting. As soon is IUMA is up and running again I'll be posting a new tune using that scale. It's very cool...

I had my last ever exam yesterday afternoon - it was Music A2. I'm a free man!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until results day, on August 15th anyway...

PHRYGIAN- your probably right, not to mention coffee takes away more water than you get from it....and i hardly drink water anymore! way to deplete the body of needed H2o....

neil- my girlfriend had her last music A2 exam yesterday- doing the edexcel paper.... don't tell me you do that one too??

Satch3d Um, life is not fair :)

Does anyone know if there is some place online to find the complete tabs for ALL ALONE I have only found the half version.

[b]HEY PEOPLE.... MATT KING - REGARDING YOUR DOUBLE HARMONIC MINOR THING , ITS NOT A MINOR COS IT HASN'T GOT A b3 IN IT!!!

JOE - ON YOUR SET LIST, WHERE IS TRACK 20? AND ITS GOOD TO SEE TIME MACHINE IN IT BUT WHAT ABOUT MOTORCYCLE DRIVER AND CRUSHING DAY AND BACK TO SHALLA-BAL?

ANYONE ELSE GOING TO BIRMIGHAM ON JULY 19TH?? IF SO..HOW LONG DID YOUR TICKETS TAKE TO ARRIVE?

Hey Joe!

I see that you're doing three gigs in the UK but none of them are in bonnie Scotland. I used to be able to rely on you to come to Scotland at keast once per tour. Are there any plans for new tour dates, including Scotland?

Cheers

Local Dude - Nah, I did the OCR paper. Good job too, given Edexcel's performance this year... lol. I hope your girlfriend did well with hers. Mine went pretty well, except the first extract on the tape was of a particularly poor quality and I had to complete the bass part on the score, BUT I COULDN'T F*CKING HEAR IT COZ THE TAPE WAS SO SH*TTY! lol. Anyway, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger...

Joe - Just thought I'd say how much I'm enjoying your column in Guitar World. Your's and Mr Vai's were the best they've had since I've been a reader. Zakk Wylde's is pretty cool, and OH MY GOD THERE'S A T.V.R. TUSCAN PARKED JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! so was Kirk Hammett's. Anyways, just thought I'd show my appreciation. Looking forward to the new album...

L8rs, Neil.

HEy Masamune, Have you ever heard of this game called ChronoCross? I was jsut wondering cuz your name is the name of one of the sword characters in it. I am writing a novell based on the characters of the game is why.
