Phrygian Dominant: it is pronounced exactly as it is spelled: G'DAY. G (guh with shortened vowel) Day. Take no notice of TV personalities, esp the Croc Hunter or Croc Dundee or any other travesty to Australian culture. Neighbours for example.

In case you were unbeknownst, down here we say whole sentences as one whole slurred word. "G'day! Hazzaga-arn?" (Good day, how's it going) "Yeo-orite" (yeah alright) "Tsgah-arnon?" (what's going on)

Repeat these over and over, (pronounced as it is read, hyphens denoting prolonged sound) and soon you too will be impossible to understand, just like me.

ok... whats this slick thing? i know its a song but why is everyone repeating it?

Stu Clone - HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I think Ive figured out why slick sounds so familiar...

I keep wanting to hear women in the background singing

GO GADGET GO... it would make a perfect saturday morning cartoon theme (at least the 1st 15 seconds)

I believe joe uses these settings on the DS1 tone 9 oclock drive 5 oclock level 2 oclock

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, my name's Alex and I'm a 19-year-old music student. I play drums and Joe's music has moved me to all possible emotions during the last 6 months. The first song I heard from Joe was "Why" about 2 years ago and I loved the mixture of emotion and heavines it had. But for some reason I had never listened carefully to the rest of the CD (it was my father's), so it stayed in the CD rack for a long year. When me and my guitarist thought about building a Satch tribute, I got initiated to the other albums (he knew Satch since much longer), through Mind Storm and Up In The Sky, and I was in awe ! I quickly got out my "Extremist" CD thinking : there's gotta be something else good from that guy ! In fact, there was, even more than I expected.

Forward to today. I've bought all of his studio albums plus LISF and I never get tired of hearing the songs over and over again. Joe's magic has hit my CD player forever ! And on the LISF DVD, I came to observe another aspect of drumming, with Jeff, that I didn't not pay attention to before (with my Dream Theater/Planet X background), which is feeling the moment, smiling, that kind of "eyeblink" attitude. I'm amazed by the way Jeff plays with such transparency, passion, humor and tightness at the same time. He changed my approach of drumming.

I saw Joe live for the first time in Québec City (Joe, man, that ruled, one hour and a half was not enough!!!), and the performance blew me away ! Flying, Crushing, Satch Boogie to open, that was killer. I had already seen Dream Theater before and thought they were the best live band ever, but them playing after you, it seemed like the atmosphere went dead ! You seriously know how to perform on stage ! As does the rest of the band !

As for my tribute band (called Circles), We're doing a pre-show (a part of our complete setlist) next month, in order to get ourselves known throughout our college. Now let me get this clear : we are not trying to be Joe or pretending to have reached his level. We just want to have fun while honoring some of the best music on this planet. Here's the small set :

War, Crushing Day, Crystal Planet,

Love Thing, The Extremist

Flying In A Blue Dream, Cool #9

Always With Me, Always With You, Satch Boogie, Time

Encore : Circles, Summer Song

It was damn hard choosing only 12 songs, but want to keep some surprises for our following shows (Mystical, Devil's, House Full).

evbro - Good idea ! No really, there are so many songs we'd like to see, that we'd have to sacrifice some of the classics. Imagine Lights Of Heaven, Killer Bee Bop and.... what 's the name of that song again... Slick ??? played live ! Awesome (this would be).

So that's my introduction story so you could get to know me a little bit. I'm sure I'll get along fine with you guys. Happy Joe Sat listening !

Crakdmyror have you checked www.ibanezrules.com? they have all kinds of Ibanez guitars for sale.... and you can find a JS10th for sale there :) in the used section, but if you cant find one e-mail the guy who runs the sight and he can tell ya if he will get more or how to find them.

I got 4/10 on the beard thing. I loved the ZZ Top picture...LOL.

beautifulsexgoddess - How can this be a 27/7 forum? :-)

SLICK!!!

so i'm doin the intonation on my js...and somehow manage to pop the trem out..oops :F

ohhh, hold the crazy train...capo first fret, clamp my hand over the...17th fret because that's where my neck gets to the body of the guitar....now i insert a thickness measuring device, which i don't have..and it' s supposedly supposed to measure .3mm to .5mm to have correct neck relief..exxcellennnt...

so it goes..neck, action, intonation pickups...after that it should be a go....funny how this little book says nothing about setting the trem angle

JSC1,

Stu Clone - HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

how does a crazy person find their way out of the woods?

they take the PSYCHO PATH!!!! yeah thats right, the PSYCHO PATH!!!!

It is stu not boo - of course this is 27/7 - I am right in thinking it's only up 27 days, in 7 months of the year.... right?? or am i missing something?

Joe,would you ever be into a project like Liquid Tension Experiment?

It was a great couple of CDs featuring Tony Levin,Jordan Rudess,and JPetrucci and MPortnoy,just in case you hadn't heard of it.

I for one would love to hear you do something like this.Both albums were done in amazingly short periods of time,and were heavily Jam/Improv based.

Being that you are one of my favorite improvisers,I think a project like this,with you in it would be earth shattering.

Something like- Satriani on guitar,banjo,harmonica Victor Wooten on Bass Carter Beauford(Dave Mathews band) on Drums maybe a Piano player. Produced by Eric Caudieux

would be amazing,I think.
