Hoopes - Can you give us any song titles? You mentioned "sit-down section" so I guess that means more than just I Believe. Hopefully he kept Midnight in there. Did he play Why?

Hello!

Phryigian Dominant and Chromeboy_1999 - there's a series on Channel 4 called 'A Place in France' about 2 guys from the uk going to france to buy an old ruin and turn it into a nice house. I know both of the guys and was at one of their houses with my wife last year when they were filming. They asked me to bring my guitar along and we had a bit of a party while trying out drinks they had brought back from their trip. Anyways, long story short, they showed about a 1 minute sequence of us in their house trying these drinks - my wife (if anyone saw it) was the one who tried the drink, screwed up her face and went 'Eughh! I don't like it!'. I was the dude in the grey t-shirt (no speaking part!).

Unfortunately, they didn't show any playing, but my amp appeared briefly in the background. 5 seconds of fame! Better not give up the day job just yet though..!

Michelle - really glad you're ok - I'm amazed at the amount of a**hole drivers I seee out there every day.

Chromeboy - Glad you got the pics mate - feel free to use them as you wish! Hope you're well - your drumstick is alive and kicking!

Anybody noticed the pretty ladies in the background of this picture featuring Joe and Steve Morse?

yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar' you've got it! what kinf of music do U play? satch sound?

come on and work your phrasing...boy playing and playing the same tab again until it's perfect. that's Joe's secret and Xperience! work and work and work for playing so easely and speedy on Frisco's leg!!! But, a thing is true, Joe is a 8 fingered alien... watch the San Francisco DVD in slow mode...it's amazing! ...I want to believe...(X-files generic~~~~)

eebysubb:

I watched that DVD countless times, and I saw Joe live in Rome in July. I play the guitar, but not like a pro, I can do some of the slower songs written by Joe, but when it comes to the solo, oh well..... :P

...waiting next to listen your performing... i go back to my guitar too, working about some cool stuff like always with me always with you, tears in the rain, or cool#9 (my favorite)...

i saw Joe Satriani 1997 in Strasbourg with his cool bluesy band (Manu Katché on drums)...

Tear it up on the U.S. leg JOE and ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Does JOE have any guests come up to play for this tour????

Webmaster..Jon: Didn't you mention something about JOE possibly having his laptop with him for the U.S. leg of the tour??....It would be great to see his reviews when he gets the chance....Especially for those of us waiting in Asia :-}

Quantum: CDs on my CD player: SBM and PhryDom's one, looking for all his mistakes!!! ;-)

PhryDom: j/k! I'm waiting for your next one!!!

Eebysubb: I "see" Joe's music close to a Kandinsky painting...

non-smoker and death cube - here's how the story with the 7 went...

A friend of mine sold a right handed RG7470 to me just over a year ago. I'm a left hooker which means that I had to re-string it / set it up and play it without the whammy bar fitted. This was all ok because it is essentially a 'toy' and I was using it for messing around with some real heavy ideas and playing Bach cello suites without having to move them up an octave... I didn't fit a strap lock to the bottom horn [which is now the top] because it looked a little thin at the point to fit a screw that will be taking the weight of the guitar - so I can't wear the guitar and play standing up. When David Cross asked me to record the new album and sent me all of the information and tapes I thought... "hmmm, there could be some nice 7-string parts lurking in there"... and I was right... there were... So I recorded the new album doing all of the riffs on a 7 and all of the solos on a 6 [because a wouldn't be seen dead shredding without a whammy ... lol]. Just before last Xmas, there were rumblings of a short tour which became more definate around March... so in April I ordered a custom left hand Universe [with a few personal additions] and I was told that it would take 4 months [which gives me plenty of time 'cos the tour is Sept]..... The only risk I was running was not having two stage worthy 7 strings... but I intend to get my RG7470 fully converted in the near future to solve that].... It now looks like the custom 7 won't make it for the first part of the tour.... However, I think that I'll manage with the 'drop-tuned' guitars until this gets sorted... I can now play the solos in the different neck positions.... when I get the new 7 I'll have to relearn them at concert pitch [pain in the rear but easily sorted - it just costs me time and effort]...

It'll all be ok I'm sure.....

2 all folks and Joe's fans... I'm just replaying in loop San Francisco CD1... what a incredible amazing guitar sound? every musician seems to be on the top of his form... hav' i wrong brothers? Joe said to the public there is some exciting and crazy atmosfear wile making dis "Deeveedee" hum...(lol) frisco's public was hot and very complice...

enjoy... eebysubb =:@)))

BTW....Prog X dude!! Any new's on "SBM" yet?? The Post Office said 7-8 days max....It's been almost two week's now!! There must be a good reason for the delay, and I hope it's in your hand's as you read this!!.... Please be patient with the Postal System....

Eric Johnson will be coming out with a new album soon!! He's got sooo much material, but has such a hard time releasing it!!! Mr. Perfectionist......

BTW, Shred that six there Clarky.... :-) You like Mr. Gilbert's Project....Racer X??
