Suzie, er, sorry I'm not following....why do I need a Mac? I read the article and it's just some editorial on a bunch of people who don't like PC's. Maybe I'm missing something?

962- you are missing that Macs rarely go wrong and don't require running antivirus software and are very reliable and easy to use... PCs on the other hand seem to crash and go wrong far more- plenty of people on here mention how their PC has crashed, spyware, viruses etc. That's all, didn't mean to get your back up??? Since the day we got our Mac I can honestly say I would never go back to a PC. Try one, you might like it!

* I only wrote the original message after something you said to another poster about putting items in a queue or poor internet connection? Sorry if you are offended.

Bloo moon

What Joe was really saying was...

'Security! Get that big gay f**ker with the fluorescent lipstick and eyeshadow off my stage, NOW!' LOL

Hey all. Well I thought I should introduce myself properly, my name's Simon, I live in England and I've been playing guitar for four years now. My uncle introduced me to the mind blowing instrumentalist that is Satch when I was twelve. I found this site a while back and just had to join.

Suzie, my internet connection is bad because I use Dial-up, not because I use a PC. I'll be getting broadband at some point and then it'll be fine, regardless of the fact that I have a PC.

I don't have any problems with spyware or viruses or anything 'cause I hardly download anything. I used to use my old PC (this one with the inetrnet access) for playing games and it crashed all the time, but now I don't do that any more it's solid as a rock. My studio PC is excellent too, it takes a lot of effort to tip it off ballance....I'm very happy with it.

No you didn't offend, but I don't like to be told what I want/what I need when I'm happy with what I've got, and I'm happy with it for a reason!

I have tried Macs and I just didn't like them much, but if you or anyone else loves them then that's fine....enjoy.

962- I apologise that you took what I said so seriously- it was only ever meant tongue-in-cheek???

hey joe i'd like to know about 962's querry earlier...

[Joe, when you're preparing for a G3 tour do you, Steve and the "3rd G" all get together to rehearse, or do you not play together until sound checks? I'm guessing you must spend some time working out your ideas together?]

???

musiz4me5150...hey Dean...I'm ok...have you seen all of Joe's post's in recent days? Great to see him post sooo much. I listened to your my space site, and thought "When I'm With You" had a catchy melody...one you might hear on a commerical...very nice stuff....

If you're thinking of moving to the NY area...it's very expensive to live here (one of the highest in the country), and I can't wait to get outta Dodge soon...lol...

Great to hear from you...Peace, Love & Happiness

Soozie

Hope your wrist feels better soon! :-)

Stephj, i don't know about your last post but i wish you a happy birthday this friday!! and i hope you choose the best guitar for you, is as it is :P i have seen you also play bass, so you like much music.

I also add this Christmas I want to buy an electrical guitar (i said it somedays ago), and i take thought to buy an ibanez sa120, but i don't know if it is the best option. Somebody has this guitar or it has played sometime? My situation is the following one: I play guitar from june, i like much to play it, and i want an ibanez for year end and to go to guitar's classes as of January... also I would like that me you said an amplifier, peavey if it can be :P

And good, it is not necessary, it's to have an idea, but I have left a month to decide to me...

waterproofsoap: All else i've just met here....you scare me....but thats a good thing!!!! Peace..............John

WHAT???

ahem....have u met our wolfie?

:)

SteveeT.....the east coast is outrageously expensive. Whenever I go visit my family in the Boston area, I browse through the paper and laugh at the "great deals" on studio apartments for only $999 a month !! C'mon out to northern Minnesota....I'm paying only $400 / month for a two bedroom house..lol !

jeez... trun my back on this place for a couple of days and then there's 200 million squillion brazillion posts....

funny, I grabbed the guitar I learned to play on.... and played the first song I ever learned.....

it was interesting just to reflect on the music centric journey I'd taken since that first day.......

a hooligan right from the outset... lol....

hahaaa... is there any better way too start?? naahh.. lol..

and I didn't think that was at all possible....

tips hat to a man of considerable milage...

I think it's interesting, especially for the folks that have 10, 15, 20 and more years under their belt to go back over their experiences right from day one.... find all the mile stones...
your first song.. first band.. first song you wrote, first really nice guitar / amp etc, first really good band, record company experiences [like getting all the great vibes and the "no thanx... laters"].. first album / tour, first school gig,and other mile stones like cracking a solo / riff / song that was particularly meaningful to you...
for me, cracking Eruption was a huge turning point...

so having looked back... where I started... and how things are now....

you get to realise what a truly amazing and fullfilling journey it's been...

I am trying to develop a fugal approach to riffing...

so right now, I'm conducting experiments with Bach's Italian concerto and re-working it into a guitar quartet to study the interactions between the 4 voices...

very interesting and revealing stuff.....

the next part is to get all this new knowledge and apply it to something worthy of igniting the mosh pit..

I'll keep an eye out for the tape... thanks bro I'm really looking forward to it..

e-mail me bro...

delfino - nice one.... glad you like Satan Salad...
hahaaa.. I've not heard that track for a long time..

try taking a look here... you may likes what yers finds..

Good Mid- Morning Satchland..... How R U Today?

Zen.... Who do I get the T2Jsinfony music from and when would I be getting it? SteveeT ?

Clarky.......Ha.....If you're younger than 35 .....meet the next guitarist who's been playing longer then you've been alive....LOL..... I'm showing my age....LOL.... I'm blushing....LOL....

Suzo.....Thanks. Love the article.

Mari..... I'm buying iLife 05 for my Mac soon. That means I'm converting the Satch show you sent me to HD Video. I have a lot of balls in the air now and this may take awhile but I will do this for you. I have two sets of auditions this Sun. and the following Tues. The Sun. audition is with a keyboardist and drummer. The drummer sat in for Steve Gadd on a Chick Corea Project. Will see. Sometimes musicians tell fish stories if you know what I mean. I have no reason to dout him. I'll know Sun. I've emailed Gary Buck who manages Indigenous. I'm trying to get them for consideration to play at Chord On Blues where Bonamassa played. I hope that goes through. I asked about your photos and my DVD. I haven't heard back from Gary yet. Just thought I'd let you know. Have you gotten any feedback from Indigenous yet? Take Care. Hugs to U.

Yo Cheese!!

I haven't met wolfie yet....but if its scary....I"M IN........

Joe............

Joe?

ehem......J O E ..............

PS. Life Is Good......Think foryourself....or others will try to do it for you!!!

Peace
