Well, what can I say about the new album? I think it's cool that the title is taken from "third stone from the sun" on Jimi's first album "Are you experienced?"......"Strange, beautiful, grass of green.. and your majestic silver seas....your mysterious mountains I wish to see closely..may I land my kinky machine?"

Since obtaining my copy on 25th June from the Southampon branch of HMV i have played it quite a lot. Not only does my darling wife Julia and I love it to bits BUT my teenage daughter Emily has taped it to take with her on her school trip to Spain. Far out-when I was her age I HATED the music my dad listened to!

Great that there is a Shadows track "sleepwalk" (perhaps "Atlantis" for the next album-hwhen you're ready), but above all , thanks Joe for another complex, melodic, varied and listenable album. "You saved my life" is just SO lovely, but there are so many "STRANGE BEAUTIFUL" guitar moments-well just thanks for doing it again, Joe. Look after that family of yours, and LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.

See ya at Shepherd's Bush Empire.

jofdm - If you win aftershow passes, you pick them up at the venue box office (will call) before the show. Your name should be in your profile here on the site, and the webmaster gives that name to the venue. You have to show your ID to the venue staff and then they give you the passes.

Prog X - Army green M&Ms? I like it...LOL.

Andmjones - "An evening with Joe..." means that you get 2 sets of Joe Satriani music. No opening bands, just 2 1/2 hours or so of JS songs.

JS Clone 1 - I can't hear the voice. I'll listen with headphones later though, hehehe...

hfob - I understood all of your abbreviations there except for one. What is ATD?

alien32 - That's cool...I love it when I convert people to Satch.

Austin - Yeah I was listening pretty loud on big speakers with good freq. range.

neil morgan - sounds sweet, I do wish I could have been there, but that video sounds great. Maybe when we meet up for some jamming you can show me your brilliance for real.

I'm seriously out of practice at the moment due to my amp breaking, and me automatically practising more on the piano, and composing on sibelius to make up. I think I better go practice now.

Loowho- "I just moved my painting supplies into a big old barn, its got a cathedral ceiling and lots of north light. I'm just so excited. "

You paint too? What kind of painting? I recently got into the romantic period of art, you know witches, fairies, knights and such. I paint with brushes on canvas though I am learning airbrushing too.

Still can't find any help on how to paint on this guitar body that I bought.

Local Person.... Rite Of Spring is the only track suitable for the mosh pit that I've ever heard that has no guitars in it... lol

Guitar Godess.. check out http://www.universaljems.com/

Mr.Nick - well...I sort of don't understand the numbers. That's what I meant.

Oh yeah. I got tickets to Joe's Jacksonville FL show today. Seats are already filled to row N!!! My dad even said two of his co workers were going. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Help.

Old guitarworld Satriani interview online. Thought you might be interested: http://www.guitarworld.com/artistindex/9601.satriani.html

Hello Joe I`m a big Fan for you, I`m from Mexico City and my Ingles is no good, (is a basic).

Tengo una pregunta:

Promocionaras tu nuevo Disco en Mexico, y si tu respuesta es si, Cuando y donde sera?.

Espera que me puedan contestar.

MAJOR TOM o.k. please post something else just once, it is all i ask!

"Espera que me puedan contestar." Shouldn't that be Espera que me peueda contestar?

Puedan is third person plural "You all answer me" or "they answer me."

Spanish is a hobby :-) Hola!

Hey guys, I got another guitar technique question...hope it is o.k. to post here, I'm pretty stressed about it.

I play modes and stuff 3 notes per string, doing two octaves. Some kind soul directed me to a better fingering, and I made the adjustment.

The problem lies within the hand position. Some modes are more difficult to play than others (e.g., Aeolian). Is it better to barre the notes and sort of not move my wrist at all or better to sort of gradually move the palm of my hand toward the neck when I'm playing them?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, and I wish I could show some people, but I'm at a disadvantage 'cause there are 0 guitar players around here. Thanks kind souls, and Happy 4th of July.

i got my joe satriani keychain today, it is cooooooooool it rules, it's the head of satch from 2 webpages ago, joe with the alien look, it rules..it's heavy duty too, so that rules...it'll last forever :) yay
