Hi Joe

Desperately trying to get the G3 Live in Tokyo dvd in the UK

But apparently it's been withdrawn. Any info?

962: Yeah I really like the sounds of the JS series its got a classic rock mixed with a punchy tone an the sound feels edgey when listening to it. Suits my playing style. I like the Jems sound but prefer the js Whats the JS neck profile like?

I did some upgrading to my strat before it broke i shaved the neck and put my RGT pickups on it etc was about to put a Lo-TRS II on it but the guitars scrwed :'(

PS sorry for double post last time

I've come up with something to do while im guitarless.. before i found my love of guitars i taught myself about computers... As i will now be without a guitar for a very long time im going to take up a computer project.

I read some of Joe Satrianis posts talking about pirates....

I am going to see if i can come up with an uncrackable Audio CD... I keep on top of these issues always looking into them and play video games when times like these come up...

Starforce CD Protection is the best thing that i've ever seen UNCRACKABLE and beautiful creation in itself but denys people who buy the game to make a backup... I've damaged a few cds in my time and it hurts when you can't backup cds but alas its worth it if it stops pirates i suppose...

Musics different its hard to stop pirates. But if its possible i may be able to solve it.... I'd much rather be playing guitar but if i can create something of value it'd help artists such as Satch as well as upcoming people who lose money on these things. If the artist and corperations lose money it will result in stopping of production to a certain extent...

hope i can find something to help if i do i could post to webmaster and see if they can make use of it

Hello!

Im from Sweden and I go to highschool and there we have a radio for teenagers that can listen and work with their own programs....... We are called Radio Sinus and my own program I work with is called Shuffle and we would like to have an interview with Joe too our program....... And i wonder if there is anyway I could get contact with Joe Satriani by e-mail or in anyway can someone please help me?

zenfish glad you enjoyed.. rusty cooley is the guy that told me to check out shane gibson... i have started the bowel movement i hope you like it.. its got a brown sound to it so far..

JS1200-JS1000...Happy to hear your solid in your realationship..& yes its a huge deal that parrents raise us right.

The only other reason i'd go for an RGT or Jem is the neck-thru/aanj I find them more accessable but i tend to find bolt on heels more confortable and gives of a slight more classic rock tone.

Master Zed, yeah the JS has some really nice tones to it, and I'm really impressed with the high-pass-filter on the volume pot. It works really nicely. The tonal characteristics of the JS's pickups are great.....I find them a little more exotic than the Jem. The neck profile on the JS1000/JS1200 is supreme. It's incredibly comfortable and lends itself to a good left hand shape so there's not too much risk of hurting your hand.

I found the JS neck particularly good for legato stuff and the Jem particularly good for sweep stuff and lots of picking. The curve across the JS's fretboard makes it easier to keep Legato phrases clean as you move onto the higher frets. This, of course, makes sense 'cause Joe is a predominantly Legato player, while Vai does a lot more picking. I'm with chad though, the JS is definitely the one to have.

Of course, for the same money you could also look at an Andy Timmons model which is a different animal all together and is, I think, particularly special. You could also look at Washburn's N4 - Nuno Bettencourt model. The N4 has better access to the higher frets than any Jem or RG....it's pretty much on a par with a Flying V! haha. The N4 is a stunning guitar.....it's simple, but divine. If you want to forget all the bollocks and just ROCK then it's definitely worth having. I really want one.....thing is, I really want an Eric Johnson Strat too, so I don't know which one will come first!

Cubic death man

Further to your invitation, I went to Cube's room and had a listen to some tunes.

I've got to be careful what I say 'cause a certain someone may burst into his curious mix of upper and lower case saying I've got no right to comment as I am a non player!

Anyhow, here we go!

I liked gargoyles the best, which you might not like to hear as it is 7 years old. I like it best because I didn't recognise any specific influences and the shreddy (I think) bits followed the tune spot on.

I didn't listen to the tribute or the cover cause I was more interested in what your music is.

In the other tunes I heard (I think!) influences of Hendrix, Joe, Cream and another band whose name I just can't bring to mind.

I liked all that I heard.

You are undoubtedly a talented musician but I do have a slightly negative comment. I only say this because I feel I must give an honest opinion.

IMHO you sometimes try too hard for speed on the solo bits (is it shredding?) and fall off the tune a little. It's difficult for me to explain as I don't know the technical terms etc.

Before anyone accuses me of being supercritical, I believe it is only that which stops good tunes from being great tunes.

Keep rocking.
