well I finally played at my wedding. I posted a note 3 weeks ago about it. I played "cryin" and "always with me always with you" on my guitar for my wife at the wedding. She melted into a puddle...I made her cry too. Seeing her cry made me a little nervous, so I missed a few notes in the scales in "AWMAWY", but overall it was great. Thanks for all of the support :).....I needed it. -We just got back from Dominican Republic "Punta Cana" for the honeymoon....it was soooooooo relaxing down there.

Zen, I had a similar Lukather experience that I posted here once before. Luke was invited to jam with Beck and Santana (in Hawaii I think) (as you may know Beck is Luke's God) When his turn came, Luke leapt out in front and played every scale he knew like a demon, not in any way attempting to add to/participate in the groove that Santana and particularly Beck had attempted to gel... I still think Luke is a great great player, got lots of his stuff and DVD's but I lost some respect for him the day I saw that video.....

Cuth - My union exposure is a little different. Both my dad and I were union carpenters and we have a lot of tradesmen in the familia. i'd have to say you didn't see any slacking off on the crews I worked on. It was an eye opener for me. I thought I knew how to work hard but it got taken to a new level. My favorite line from one of my favorite foremen is "The only thing around here we carry ones and twos of is you dick and your balls. Now go grab a stack and get movin'." Classic.

zen - Lukather is mostly a session player dispite the work with Toto and his own band....
I guess you could say that Luke is a shredder with a jazzy twist.... where as Malm is a shredder with a Baroque twist...
obviously I don't put them together asthey are definately not musical soul-mates.
however, I did some recording for Slansh...
I cut 2 solos for him over a backing track that is pure jazz..
I cut it Clarky style but I had to play the changes... so given that the changes are in a jazz context, it impacted my note selection hugely.. but given my own personal approach the end result came out like some odd-ball hybrid of Lukather and Malmsteen... lol..
I don't know if that's a good thing.... but that's how it sounds to me... lmao...
as for what Lukather is like live.... I've no idea... I've never seen him play live... so I guess I'm not really qualified to make an opinion... however he has done some fabulous studio work... Candyman is a great album...
slansh - no I mean it.... you are a monster of a player....
I hope your album does well...
A - because you deserve some kind of recognition for simply being that good..
B - cos I'm on it so what's good for you is good for me... lmao...
I just got news from DC...
the set has changed....
one song taken out "Anybody"
two news songs in - "Nurse Insane" and "Learning Curve" [both really good tracks]
and the form of two other songs in the set have changed to make them better in a 'live' setting....
sheesh... just as I was getting it down the whole thing has shifted....
as hey say... "no wicked for the rest.." lmao..
when I was on tour in the mid 90's, I was playing a gig n Berlin.... the band had just finished the sound check and I did the 'usual' - stay behind and play just for the fun of itcos it's one of the rare times I get to enjoy the rig really pumpin'.. and it's fun I tells yer...
so once the venue folks had eventually dragged me away from the guitar and thrown me off the stage I went off to the bar....
on the way I decided to go for a piss... and when I was in there I bumped into Henry the sound engineer....
he said to me.. "man you play a lot like Steve Lucifer"
I said "don't you mean Lukather??..."
he grinned and said "no... I meant Lucifer.." lmao...

Clarky, are you sure "Henry the sound man" wasn't thinking about Steve Vai as the devil's head cutting sidekick Jack Butler in the film Crossroads? lmao, Steve could have qualified as "Steve Lucifer" in that film....
Or were you just performing Los Lobotomy riffs from hell??

Long gone, sadly, are the days when I used to get promo copies of guitar oriented releases a month or so ahead of commercial release so I finally picked up a copy of George Lynch's "Furious George". It rocks, excellent covers with original solos from Georgie.....

My relatives are so cool and offered to let me stay longer. I won't be able to post till I get back home but I will tell you all about it. Thanks for the good vibes and well wishes. I can't wait.....many good things will be happening!!
I'll be thinking of you...I couldn't have done it without your support and friendship. Many thanks!! ;-))))

Hi, Joe.
I hope that you are getting better now.
I'm Yukari from Japan.
I'm a fan of you since G3 in 2003.
I hope to see you on stage in Japan.
As soon as you decide a tour to Japan, please let me know!
Well, when I talk about you with my friend in my band,
we call you "Satori Aniki".
"Satori" is "enlightenment" in Japanese.
"Aniki" is "the way of call elder brother with respect" in Japanese.
So, I'll call you "Satori Aniki!!" to you on the stage in Japan.
Please fine me then :)
Well, please take care of yourself.
Good luck and see you soon!

Mowlie2000- good vibes to your tooth! :-)
Delfino- teaching yourself piano? Sounds good... if you ever make it up to the attic to get your keyboard, good luck with it!
Steven- Thanks, the day has gone very well today, I feel so much more settled since we've moved. It feels like a weight has been lifted from my mind :-)
Zenfish- thankyou for the EVH info- I found it all most interesting! I don't really understand the criticism either- there's no need for it. I've never really seen the point in comparing which guitarist is "better" than another, as like you say there are so many styles, and it all comes down to personal preference anyway. I will get round to listening to that CD you suggested, soon! The only EVH interview / article I've read recently was one in Guitarist, where I didn't think he came across as arrogant at all. I loved what he said about "..telling the cancer the party was over.." Truly an interesting and very complex man. Interesting what you said about Jimmy Page, I'm quite a fan of his too!

hey joe.
i know that you have experimented with the techno side with 'engines', but i was just wondering if you have started to experiment with anything new.
i have been playing guitar for about three years and am trying to learn how to play malmsteen style sweeps. i am experimenting with weird samples, i take a lot of influence from dream theatre and bands such as andromeda. i was wondering if any new bands/ artists have caught your attention.
cheers
and thanx for 'crystal planet' that is one hell of a song.

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
LONDON (Reuters) - The makers of the handy spray lubricant WD-40 proudly list 2,000 uses for their product, from unsticking rusty screws or squeaky bicycle chains to polishing frying pans.
But British police have found another -- keeping the public from snorting cocaine off toilet lids in bars.
Police in the English city of Bristol said Tuesday they have been advising pub and nightclub owners to spray the colorless lubricant on toilet seats and other flat surfaces in the lavatory that customers often use to snort drugs.
Apparently, cocaine and spray lube don't mix.
"A chemical reaction takes place with the cocaine that causes it to congeal and become a mess so it's unusable," a police spokesman said. "It's one very small, very cheap way in which you can very seriously restrict the amount of drug use in your premises."
Constable Graham Pease, a liquor licensing officer, said he discovered the trick a few years ago while discussing with pub owners how to reduce drug use on their premises.
"We were discussing with licensees how we could keep cocaine from being snorted from surfaces," he told Reuters. "It came about that we wanted to spray something on surfaces that cocaine would stick to. And somebody mentioned WD-40."
The new use seems to have taken its makers by surprise.
"Its not meant to be ingested. It says so clearly on the can so we wouldn't advocate it for that purpose. But people will use it how they will," said a British spokeswoman for the San Diego, Calif-based WD-40 Co.
At Bar Excellence in Bristol, deputy manager Julian Barraud said it was part of the drug fighting arsenal.
"It does work. It's one of the tricks that we've got to try and tackle the problem," he said.
