Fab:y,know anyone on this board that has worked without a contract knows the drill! its do it or adios,well here anyway. Excuses etc dont cut & i cant afford to loose the income for a great gig.I,ll talk to the boss, hes pretty cool, but if the work has to be done i have to be there,getting a contract here is like pulling teeth from cement...they call the scots tight....man they should check out The Catalans!!!!!!!! Still twas good t hear Mr M asked about me, cool

Keniko, no you didn't mislead me.....athough you're almost transcribing, you're just not getting as far as the "Scribing" part. I actually do thoroughly recommend writing down a tune or two yourself.....tabbing out other people's stuff can be quite enlightening, 'cause it's one of the purest ways of breaking the tune down to it's mathematical structure. Writing in the expression and then playing it back takes on a different feel! It's cool.
Maybe I'm suggesting this 'cause I want you to tab out the House Full of Bullets solo so I don't have to?! haha, just kidding.
gotta have joe, haha, fair enough. Also, offering to pay Joe 50 K to play at your wedding......he might actually be tempted! hehe. Now all you gotta do is find someone to marry! haha.

Interesting to read your take on where guitarists are coming from.
However, I prefer the reaction I got from a 50 odd year old Chief Engineer on my last ship. He was a bit of an old fashioned character and I thought it would be amusing to see his reaction to a bit of Joe blasting out.
My flabber was well and truly gasted when he turned to me and said 'Captain, this is beautiful, this man sings with his guitar'.
Say no more! From a non players point of view anyway!
Keep rocking,
Steve.

962...... That's cool. I used to read music and like an idiot I stopped. Back in "79" I had a great guitar teacher... a Berkley grad. He had me reading out of a book called 'For Guitar Players only". It was written by studio ace Tommy Tedesco. That guy was huge in session work. Tommy played on.... well everything. It's a great book. It's starts out with E 1st string open all the way up to reading chord charts to timing. What was cool about the book ....Tommy seemed very comical. He'd have these studio stories to tell though out the book. I don't know if it's still in print but it's a great book. The other book he had me workin' out is "Chord Chemistry" by Ted Greene. Sadly Ted died ..... I think like last month. I'm not sure. Steve Vai mentions this book as a soarce on chord knowledge. Check them out. Chord Chemistry is still out but I don't know about the Tedesco book.

I hope that you'll understand my message because I'm french and I don't speak english very well (sorry)...So i have just one question : When will you come in France for a mega show with Steve Vai?
It will be very marvellous!!!
I know...I'm certainly too ambitious!
So I imagine that it's not in your project, but we never know...Maybe one day?!?!...
Except this question I would like to say you that you are certainly one of the best guitarist...with steve of course!!! Sorry again for my english who is very bad...
Cordially...Alex
And thanks again for your beautiful music!

FINALLY...JS10TH ANNIVERSARY CHROMEBOY IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow...she's a beauty, and she's much heavier than I ever thought she'd be....sustains much more than my JS100 with Seymour Duncan's....here's the strangest thing...the 25-1/2" scale string tension feels like a 24-3/4" scale....I can't believe it she plays low & fast.
Joe...hat's off to you for designing such a great instrument....looks like liquid steel...plays like silk...simply...gorgeous...stunning...I've waited a long time....finally she's mine!
Been playin' her for over an hour...back to the extascy of the JS10th Anniversary Chromeboy....WOW....8 lbs of joy...
Do I sound pscyhed?...lol...

STEEVE T!!! FINALLY MY FUNKY BROTHA!! Im way happy for you!! I remember I went from a JS-100 To a Js_1000..it was like I was JIMI H, such a great day day it was,,there is sumthing about a new guitar that opens up ones eyes to NEW POSSIBILITIES. I hope this new ax is truly everthing you expected & more. Vai once told me that each guitar of his brings a SPECIAL meaning to his moods & playing..I hope this does this for you.
A LITTLE ADVICE..check into putting a clear pick guard on it..make sure if you put it on,,or have somone else do it,,they DO IT RIGHT,,as you COULD have AIR BUBBLES in the guard,,kinda like a DECAL,,im sure you know this...CONGRATS,,from dakook & sugarbaby

Dakook...this is not the new JS2 PRM, but a 10th Anniversary Chromeboy....soon I'll have both to compare...luthite vs. wood...should be very interesting...JS10th has a very different sound...like Joe ...it's freaky...like he's here...GREAT!

gotta have Joe: I'd pay it too! If I ever got married JOe is the ONLY one I'd want to be there...
He's made my life completely new, I would not be the person that I am today without JOE.
I don't plan on getting married but I may just give myself a fantastic party someday before I die or get too old to enjoy life.....Maybe in the next few years. I need to start planning for it!!
Keniko: Since I'm not going to marry will you play at my funeral? I'll put it in my will.....Hell, I'll have your Band, JS, VAI and EJ play at my Life Party......I better start planning now. Why let everyone have the fun when I'm dead?! I'm having fun LIVING.....and so it should go. Live your LIFE while YOU ARE ALIVE! You've ONLY GOT ONE LiFE To LIVE...!
Rock ON!
Slashroom: I'll be "Packing" an umbrella! lol Never fear, I found out the hard way when I was in the UK last year in June....Torrential downpours for Wimbleton '04. I was in the UK then....it was pretty soggy! I got soaked after buying an umbrella that was broken! LOL....the dog bits, I'll remember. Tuesday November 8.... I think it's a very important day...the stars are aligned....It's time for you to be acknowledged. it will happen for you someday, someway.
Razzmatazz @ Barcelona. Roy I will send good vibes to you , hopefully you will be able to go...I'l do my best to help you out anyway that I can. I understand your job comes 1st, bills have to be paid. I work so I can travel to see Joe and Steve. hee-hee!
Stevee T: Congrats on the Chromegirl of your Dreams....LOL. I know it's a Chromeboy but it's a girl by what you've said....... I'm so happy for you Steveee!
