Hi, I've been a guitar teacher for a number of years now, and I though that I'd share afew thoughts today. One of my students decided that he wanted to learn how to play Tender Surrender(s.vai), so we started working on the tune together. He got all the melody parts up til the solo. When it came to playing the lead he just couldn't get it to sound like the disc. Technically he was capable of pulling of the licks but, there was a certain element missing. Feel. When discussing this with him I asked if he ever worked on playing what he was feeling at the moment, putting the days events into a musical statement. The answer.........no. He said that about 90% of his practice time was used running scales, arpeggio's & other technical exercises. The point behind all this is that sometimes you have to put technique aside and play what's in your heart to truely reach that level where you & your instrument are one. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not bashing shred, instrumental music such as Vai, Satch, Yngwie, & Jason Becker is a large part of my influence. The one comment I left my student to think about was this - if you practice typing everyday you will become quite fast, but that doesn't mean that you will write the next great novel. Remember it's what's inside each of you that makes us all unique individuals, & players. Along the same lines, the song of the day is "I Will Remember You" - Sarah McLaughlin

I know I am probably behind in the times by asking, but why exactly is Stu Hamm no longer the bassist. I caught the Cleveland show expecting to see Stu. Matt is very good, and seems to fall in well with Joe's style, especially on the new stuff, but being a bass player, I was a little let down not seeing Stu, since I did on the Live in San Fran. DVD. Just curious....

Master Yoda - Your songs are cool. I've only listened to them a few times, but I REALLY like the first one...Crimson. Great job!
danny k - I never thought of comparing guitar playing to typing, but the analogy is a great one.
bassfiend - You kind of answered your own question there. Stu isn't the bassist on this album because he is more of a fusiony bassist, and Joe wanted to make a rock album. Matt's a good rock bassist, so that's why Joe used him.

Thanks to Jeff for the help with my home work! Soory to see such a large storm down south! Hope U R all okay. Master yoda: Most of us are envious that u at least can post your music! The rest of us being non-tech-oids have trouble with that stuff. NOT enough understanding of the tech, and /or not enough $ to complete the process. Like clarky said, maybe they are to busy listening!! One good thing...no one will be stealing your ideas..........You have a great sound. Keep with it. I know you will despite any thing I say. Try to remember not all people will love every thing you do every time. Joe has been hot with that of late, and look how long he has been at it!!!!. Bless you.

Hi there, thought i'd join here, just like to say what an absolutely GREAT gig it was at manchester, me and my friend travelled almost 300 miles to get to it, it definately didnt disappoint at all!
On the subject of Strange beautiful music, i dont suppose there i an official transcription of the album in the pipeline somewhere like with crystal planet? It would certainly go down a treat down my end, catch you all later

I just wanted topost a note to Joe commenting on the Song order for Strange Beatiful Music - it's really well thought out. Did you have to make a great effort to decide on the order of the tunes on the CD or did it come kinda naturally.
The tunes from track 2 through 7 flow especially well (for my ears, at least). It's just perfect - the right shift of styles, speeds, and moods. The rest of the CD is great too, but those tracks, in that order, really work well!
Great job Joe! I can't wait for the Baltimore show tomorrow!

Joe,
Just bought an Ibanez JS100 and would like to thank you for designing such a great guitar. It falls into my hands just the way I want it to. I love the new album too. Great job! Keep 'em coming.

I have Pearly. In order to ensure it's safe return, leave $300 in an unmarked bag in the usual place.
You play my guitars and you pluck my plectrums, and you dare to call me a thief!? I will remove one string each week until my demands are met. When I have confirmed the full amount has been payed I will turn up on Joe Satriani's doorstep with Pearly in one hand and a pack of strings in the other.
