MATT KING: Heard the new tune. It's some of your best stuff. I love the way you combined the spaceguitar vibe with the nasty bluesy agression. The chord progression was also really nice. You worked in the key change modulation really well. By the way, do you use the drive channel of your 6100, or am I just hearing the DS-1 straight into the clean channel? Later.

i agree with you that slash's stuff wit gnr is better buckethead would be so much better for g3 as he is a better guitarist.

He should get a signiture jackson with a bucket shaped headstock.lol

When i say joe play london astoria i dont mean that it should be his only show. a full uk tour would be great. So

Happy belated birthday to Stu...

michelle - Who's playing bass for Metallica now?

Happy 20,000, T2J! LOL...

nice one austin lol.

I've got my computer to register over the internet. Wow, with my screen on 1600x1200, T2J looks really small. Happy 20000, T2J.

ovation - I've now heard the whole Angra CD.... really great stuff... I think I need to keep an eye out for their other stuff... the guitarist is not exactly a slouch either...lol he can really move...

On the 7-string... I've been told end of Feb... this is that last straw... if I hear nothing good by then then I'll be asking for a refund.. taking legal procedings... flying to Florida and getting unpleasant.... I was unerstanding with them in as much as their sub-contractor pulled a fast one and dropped them in the shit... however, they now had enough time to build me a fresh one from scratch as well as correct the mistakes.... I'm coming to the end of my patience... this is their last chance...

I'm pretty patient A/ I'm in no great need of the guitar as I have lots of others and it's not as if I'm on tour... and B/ I'm a man of my word and expect nothing less from everyone else... innocent until proven wanker... so it has now got to the point where the excuses have run out and the time scale has been way too long...

I'm normally very patient and understanding... just like everyone else.. I can be pretty unpleasent too... for me this is an absolute last resort.. in general, things do not go well when everyone is pissed off.... they just get worse so this is to be avoided if possible...

"It is Stu not boo"-Tanx 4 answer me man, ill check it out.

"MattKing" -FLIGHT OF MIND was very tripy. I can feel the freedom you have achieved on your playing. The sound was too much like...."in your face" (...and i love it that way...) Its like the Satch "Red Album", the way it was recorded i mean, ....it was intentional or.....? That part at 1:47 was the spot of the song, very well pal...your tone its killer, and i just compared the old "Time" recording to this one and i hear an enourmous increase on your sound....Very GOOOD song, B U T, you still sound like Satch (...not a bad thing uhh...) i think that you could be a totally monster talent if you hear another guitar influences, mix them up and come up with some original inner stuff from you. Dont be a shadow of a great guitarist when you already are a great guitarist, but SHINE with your own light!! I dont try to throw sh1t to you, you know it, but i heard 100000 of guitarists trying to emulate Satch, of course you are the greatest in that, and never reach a higher level because Satch its their goal. That doesnt allow them to grow up musically speaking. You are a great virtuoso already, and young too, 2 very special tools on this bussiness.

Matt, DCK, Stu Clone, JS Clone1, All Others that apply: I would love to check out all of your recent offerings....unfortunately, i'm on a dial-up :( It'll have to wait 'til later.... I'm trying to get something happening from a location other that my home, (can't get DSL from there). I will get to it as soon as I can...

Clarky: That is very good of you... You are correct, it never works out when everyone is angry. Hopefully they'll correct these issues soon and everyone is happy.

death cube k...dont like strongbad that much..i like it the first time i heard it..but i've just got bored of it.

clarky..yeah..thanks..its that i missed several pages here because of been away for a long time, i've had a look thru your posts and wrote it down. thanks :)

stu not boo.thanks for that chat script :)

Ga60 :) I do agree with you there! The thing is, it's really hard for the other influences to come out in the style I'm writing. SRV is a biggy on me, but the thicker tone doesn't show it as much...Kirk Hammet believe it or not is a biggy, Steve Vai with phrasing. I think it's the fact that I'm writing extremely simple instrumental rock music that creates the relay to joe!! Something, I do naturally I suppose. I still look at it this way...I think it's pretty cool music and all, and it seems some ppl like it too? The way I see it realy is, I understand you hear the influence, but if it's decent music...I can't really control what comes out :-\ the minute I *try* to write out of my style, it starts to sound tacky...and totally fabricated as opposed to the open style of writing I have now :-\

Hey Joe my friend just cracked a joke about you during my lunch break in school its nothing really bad . i was on a site where i was looking at pictures of you and my friend comes up to me and takes a look at the screen and says " That guy looks like Dave Attel the host of the show Insomniac on Comedy central . i start laughing my ass off,i say you idot that's Joe Satriani my favorite guitar player he is like oh, okay but he does look like Dave Atel form Insomniac, i just told him to shut up and he just left to do his homework . i still cant believe he said that it was a funny joke, iam still laughning my ass off as we speak lol
