Hey Joe! I'm a 15 year old, guitar playing, Satriani-fan from cold Norway, and wonder if its possibe for you to send me an autograf? Please!

My adress: Sonningveien 38, 1626 Manstad, Norway

sorry for my bad english..

962- re. my neighbours' (soon to be ex-neighbours soon hopefully, thank Christ) shagging... it was funny...for a short while. Not so funny however when you have to get up at 6.00 a.m., which I do, Mon- Fri. She was quite over the top as well! We are best out of that scenario, believe me, you try living above the *******!!! I must admit , I never did consider the option you suggested, of pissing through their letterbox. Damn. :-)

Hey Matt...Good to hear from you! Small World...Gabe just emailed me to say that they are aiming to schedule Jemfest for June to avoid all the HS Graduations that time of the year.

He also said that Steve Vai might unofficially show up! Did he or Joe show last year?

I emailed him to send him my website address & so he could check my Bio & sound bytes, and approve my request for entry to next year's Jemfest I checked our your site...very nice...you've play all over down there in Jersey. I used to play in Atlantic City at Resorts International...stayed in our Ocean Front Band house...that was GREAT! Ah those were the days.

Hi all.

I have a question! Does anyone know why Joe bridges the neck of ihs guitar with his right hand during the song "mystical potato head groove thing"?

it sounds great but i have no idea if he does it for a good reason or cos it looks flashy?

I'm wondering if the JS Ibanez guitar line may some day include left-handed models. I am left-handed and would like a model as such. I know that the Ibanez has other left-handed types.

Lord Iffy Boatrace, Joe's deadening the strings so his legato playing is unhampered.

Delfino, take it easy on yourself bro.......I feel like that about my stuff all the time, but for some reason, I keep playing it anyway. If you really don't like something, try and break it down to the concept that was the basis for the way you wrote it....maybe an idea or technique or a visualisation....whatever, that concept was good enough for you to go to the length of writing it the first time, but you didn't like the resulting sound. try keeping the concept, but starting again on the way you actually choose to portray it/write the tune!

Hope that makes sense?!

They are, however, Region 2 and PAL screen format, but I'm sure that, in due course, they'll make it to region 1 and NTSC!

Himalaya finished this evening, including a trip through Bhutan. What a beautiful country. It is so peaceful and simplistic, built on some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world......I'm really inspired to find out about travelling there some day. Palin spent 6 months travelling round the Himalaya to make the documentary! Awesome!

@ OCPS470: Thanks for that really kind words man!! The reason why I ask that questions is because I am a guitar fan myself to every facet!! I gotta tell you when I do a show with a guy like Joe I am glad many times that he goes talking for a while because I seriously have to turn my mic down and take a deep breath since its really flatering! :-)

@ Ovation & Alexandre: thanks guys you are to cool!!

For anybody else please go to www.jemfest.com

Delfinopie, Caverns...Like the xylophone thing... makes me feel like I'm exploring underground caves...do you live in the Desert Southwest?

If you listened to Ricky Garcia's Satch interview, you heard that Joe wants to make a DVD from one of the shows in December. Does anyone here have any cool title suggestions? I thought of two the other day, so I thought I'd mention them here. I think "Live In Space" or "Is It Live In Space?" would be a cool titles that are both related to ITLIS?...

Yeah, I noticed those changes. The Waves Of Life is a very cool song. :-)

If that's his opinion, why not ask him why he feels that way instead of getting pissed at him...?

Something that was posted only a few days ago and was only mentioned in a few posts has "dragged too far"?

What about the new things I brought up in my post yesterday? Do you have answers for those?

You can't say something about me that is based on absolutely nothing, not respond to questions about it, and then consider yourself to have any level of credibility here.

Joe has said in interviews over the past few years that he wants to make an acoustic album. In a recent ITLIS? interview (Rockline, maybe?) Joe said he didn't think his acoustic guitar skills were good enough, so he's been practicing. I bet we get one or two more ITLIS?-ish rock albums, and then an acoustic album around 2007 or so...

In terms of buying? Hehehe... ;-)

It's on my list of stuff to buy. If I happen to see it in a store, I'll buy it right away. If not, I'll wait a few more weeks and preorder it from CD Universe with the Seinfeld DVD gift set (the first three seasons) when it is released.

"i've been watching out for phil keaggy records"

I probably mentioned this already, but buy his 220 album first. It's completely instrumental, so it's probably the best place to start.

Phil Keaggy is a Christian, and many of his vocal songs reflect that. I know that won't bother you, but I thought I'd mention it for the benefit of the other people who are reading this.
