More Wisdom from Will Rodgers
ABOUT GROWING OLDER...
First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

Zenfish,
Crossroads seems likes it's out of gas to me too, Buddy Guy was the only guy that had a spark aside from John Mayer of all people....no disrespect intended.
My girlfriend thought it was kinda gay to tell you that, but your Frenchness affected my sad blue side, not that you're sad.
I'm man enough to show my soft underbelly....figuratively speaking. lol
Cheese,
If you'd like a taste of my website my webpage www.stevetrott.com is now on the web. http://www.stevetrott.com
cheesey....thanks for asking........meow!
Clarky,
Funny, I had been specifically listening to War over & over about a month ago for several reasons.....1 of course is Joe's fluidity & 2 cause Joe went on the outside when he added Paulhino into the mix....for me an excellent combination me also being a drummer too.

962, Zen mentioned the Nuno/Page connection. I remember a Nuno interview in which he commented on how jealous he was that Page had already written/performed every possible great rock riff. I agree with Zen (not talkin tone here mind you) that there is a lot of Page evident in Nuno's playing...

Optical Studio - Hey Steven. Sounds like the Encinal side of town will take a bit gettin' used to. If memory seves me I think that side has better food. Plus you're closer to Mexicali Rose when you have that 3:00AM hankerin' for a tostadaw/ rice and beans.lol Take care and I'll see you soon.
Michelle - It wouldn't have been so bad if it had been a West Coast bat, but ya'll got those East Coasters w/ attitude. LOL!! That reminds me of my wife waking me up in a panic one night because there was a bat outside our bedroom window. Now I can't see crap w/o my glasses so I'm squinting at the window only to realize that it is a piece of plastic on the window. What a nut. Anyway, if it was me for the next week or so everytime I was behind your daughter I would make little bat noises and maybe put some scratches on the wall. Be creative you know. That's the joy of having kids!!
Finals Week - For all youz in school gettin' learned. Good luck on finals and don't forget the Guiness at the end.
I almost forgot - I am now the proud owner of a New Year's Eve gig. YEEEEEEAAAAAAA!!! We are totally not ready to play out yet but apparently the dude don't care. I guess cause we fit his budget, $250 for 4 hours. Whatever, I'm just happy to be playing. The other cool thing is that the other guitarest has NEVER played out before. It is going to be cool to see his preverbial cheery getting popped. Off to school to study relative motion and Coriolis acceration.
Late.

Climber - I had thought of putting a lead line over it but I think a vocal section would suit it better to create a reall intensity to it. Also the person who is going to put the vocal on it is a whisper away from being signed.
Opticalstudio - Cheers bro. Glad you enjoyed it.
Michelle - Reading your story about the bat just reminded me of "Ace Ventura 2 - When Nature Calls"!!!!! Oh and I am glad you enjoyed "Blowout".
VFRrocker - Cheers bro and see reply to Climber.
Clarky - To be honest I dont know if it needs a shred as I think vocals would work better. Also I am kinda stuck for ideas for what to do as it is soooo open especially as I dont want it to sound like one big impro session. Have a go at cutting one yourself if you want and, obviously, if you have the time. Talking about the Air Zone, the rhythm guitar on Blowout was a Washburn loaded with an Air Zone at the bridge, if that helps.
962 - I had a listen to The Eye Of Ra and it was killer!!! My only critism is that the drums are too repetative. Other than that, simply stunning!!!

Sorry but I just had to post this:
Diets & Dying
For those of you who have been struggling with dieting, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Well I did say sorry!!!

hey joe my name is Vince and im 18. Im from Adelaide South Australia, and im getting really excited about your upcoming tour down here in March 2005. This will be the first time that i'll get to see you live, and have no doubt that you'll leave us in amazement. I have been a huge fan for about 5 years now and i have all your albums.
I know that you would be preety busy right now and most likely wouldn't have the time to reply. but in some small chance that you do, i was hoping that maybe when you tour Adelaide on your Australian tour, that i could get the chance to meet you before the show and talk to you and your band. It would be a dream because you inspired me so much.

Zen, cool re Coryell. You have to be careful tho, he has a ton of recorded material, lots of it is very laid back, traditional etc But early on he was really an electric innovator. My favorite still is the "Offering" album. This one inspired Mahavishnu both musically and spiritualy. The fierce battle between guitar and saxophone is amazing. Of course with McLaughlin the battle was between guitar/violin and Jan Hammer..... Check this out.

Michelle - Had to wait until my wife left the room. The funniest late night happening was when I was ripped from my slumber by a searing pain in my armpit. Between screams I hear michelle say "Sorry, Sorry." I was like "What the Hell?" She gets a real calm look on her face and explains that she sort of woke up and thought she saw a spider right in front of her nose. So she went to squash it. Except it wasn't a spider at all. It was just me and my armpit. Now I sleep on the other side of the bed , for safety reasons!!!

Hey there! Well, here in Mexico city the G3 experinece turned out a success. i arrived at 4:15 pm approx. at the Auditrorio Nacional and Joe was sound checking, "amazing" I said then a white huge van came and guess what Mr. Vai arrived there and I had the chance to say hello to him not to mention Billy Sheenan gave us an autograph too. Well the concert bagan at 8:45 and Mr Fripp prformed some symphonic-like stuff on his guitar it really sounded great after that Mr Vai shredded strings as usually and the show was kind the same to the last G3 with Malmsteen and finally MR JOE SATRIANI played most of the new album and some of the classics... With all due respect I was dissapointed because of the sound, those guitars were too, too loud and some of us could not listen to what Jeff, Matt and the band itself was doing... Please Sound ENGINEERS be careful about it remeber QUALITY NOT QUANTITY

Hi Joe,
My name is Maryann, I live on Long Island. My son Louie and His uncle Bob came to see you back in August, they went backstage and hung out with you for a while. Their pic with you was posted on your website. Then my son came to see you at the beacon theatre with his aunt and uncle, his aunt was dancing with your mom in the aisle. Your sis told me that your mom thought my son was a doll. My son was in his Glory. Your sister works in the school by me, in fact I called and spoke to her, shes is very sweet. I had asked her if she could get a guitar strap and have you sign it so I can give it to my son for Christmas, she said she'd get some things together for me but couldnt do the strap. But thats ok, anything from you he will LOVE. You are a huge inspiration to him and I want to thank you. His playing gets better and better. Thanks again, Happy Holidays.....Maryann

I will E-mail You, Ahh! almost Frosty the snowman time!...................962- I really applaud Your wisdom and musical traits! they will carry You far! BTW I disagree about 'red square' I think it's great the way it is because the Guitar track's are very full and rich. My Freind Randell did A song 'downtown blues' and He had this casio keyboard drum metronome going through the whole track, and after it was done We were going to put these Big drums to it...Nah...We found we liked the 1st take so much better! anymore was to much! I dont know, it's just funny that Music is that way sometimes, Less is more? anyway keep up the awesome work! And keep that sparlke going!..................... ZENFISH- Hey cool! You are doing more singing now! Find You like it eh?...I Love singing! As I said before, I am the only one thoughLOL........................Civgeek- Yeah, That's right!! You got it!

I am quite elated!.................CLARKY- Yes, It dose have an automation function via midi connection's, But Man, I am so lost! I can bareley record as it is. You will have to take Me though that aspect step by step one day!! I would Love to learn that way!, I have heard that it is much easier to!! .....................DELFINO- Hey Dude, I can really realte to what You are saying! You described the way to A tee How I am with inividual notes and chords and phrases,. I see song's in their entirety also, That is why it takes so long for me to get things done! Musically speaking. Trying to break up each note and putting down on the instrument, to make A whole song Is very difficult for Me. So I can understand what Your saying!..But You have the talent, I have heard You! You should do fine!......................MICHELLE- Thats gret about that ole' bat flying around! I was really laughing! As kids My brothers and sisters found A Bat wondring around in the back of Our neighbors basement, In the CITY! it was really eeire! BUt I had watched plenty of Vampire movies! So I was not scared!...Glad Your doing well!...........................DCK- How are You? E-mail Me when You can! I think Your decisions are very wise!

Hmmm...people are talking about Linus And Lucy? Cool. Has everyone heard Stu Hamm's version of it? It's from this cool album that I mention every now and then here (it's part of the Quahogs Anyone? live medley)...
civgeek - Yeah, I really think we need a FAQ page here. I suggested it to Jon a few years back, and I think he said he would probably add a FAQ page to a new message board that would be developed for the site (similar to Steve Vai's board). That change obviously hasn't happened, though, probably because Joe wanted to keep the board like this.
I think it'd be great if Jon could find a way to work a FAQ page back into the site somehow (the FAQ page that is on the site hasn't been updated in YEARS)... Even a fan-mantained page here would be good enough...we need SOMETHING.
I have about 50 posts to go, but I have classes to go to. So...I'll be back later.
Does anyone know who Doyle Dykes is? He's on the Mark & Brian show right now...he's a very cool guitarist.
...Austin...

Zen - for me.. the altime most soulful recording of guitar ever is:
SRV - Little Wing...
jazzy - I'm not exactly famous or even in a small way remotely successful....
but still, compared with the achievements of my pals... I managed to go much further..... tours, albums... and getting onto the family tree of prog rock in my own little tiny way...
and for the little tiny mark I've made... I feel totally lucky to have been given the chance..
962 - I can to some limited degree play righties.... I throw them over so the strings are upsidedown.... it ain't so bad.. after a wjhile you sort of get used to it...
maybe I'll try one out....
I heard that the ToneZone was based upon the PAF PRO tonal characteristics...
but they wanted more power and less string pull..
that sounds like a reasonable development to me..
but I've heard folks complain that harmonics just don't pop out at you like they do with the Evo...
personally I don't know... I've never tried them..
mikesb - yup.. that's the version of exiles that I played on... the accoustic playing is not me though... I wish it was.... lol.. I only played accoustic on the verses etc.. and all the electrics....
I mailed Mikey about Tokyo... we are talking... so if his schedule allows.. I'll meet him there... how cool is that...
steeveT - I was a drummer before I was a guitarist..... I still love drums..... sometimes I wish I still had a kit...
the thing with War that gets me is the groove is so nice in the funky section where Satch really tears it up....
I've seen him play this track live many times.... most often without a rhythm player.. and it really don't move when it's just the bass playing that groove alone... but when Eric was around, War sounded awesome live..
mowlie - your tone on that track is real nice... crisp and tight... but I guess that's as much the player and the rest of your rig as the pickups themselves..
I could drop a lead part on there if you want.....
send me a copy of the backing track on CD....
when I get a little time I'll see what I can come up with...
vocals would be nice... but for me.. when I write a song.. the melody and lyrics are all writen at the same time as the backing track.... as one entity tends to guide the other.. and then vice versa...
funny.. when I wrote Talking to Stone, it was originally a song... I happened to record myself noodling over the backing track and ended up posting it on IUMA... funny really... everyone knows it as an instrumental.. but infact.. I still think of the song... lol..

optical - do you have cubase? if so... you can sync the sequencer to the studio.... and then get the automation running.... it can be a pain in the rear to get running.... but it's worth the pain...
imagine this... you do an almost perfect mix but the snare is too quiet and a lead break on the guitar vanishes when the notes start getting into the lower ranges....
so.. you'd have to re-mix the song.. that means playing the faders the same way next time and fixing the errors....
with automation, your last mix-down is saved as a song in cubase.. so.. you do a "save as" to create another mix without destroying the previous version [so you can always revert if you need to..
you can then lift the volume of the snare... and then go to the lead guitar track and make the volume gently rise and the pitch drops on the guitar, and then gently return to the nominal volume again... so the volume of the guitar sounds even to your ears...
it takes quite some time to set up a mix... but subsequent mix-downs as you search for your best version are easy...
you then hit play, sit back and let cubase play the desk for you as you record the mixed versoin....
once you master this you'll never turn back
