And where does the inspiration for your music come from?
Joe Satriani :I'm just inspired by everyday life. I find it very wondrous. There is so much to reflect upon, to write about, to dream about, and to hope for.
I only really play what I'm really passionate about. I don't just sit down and write an album. I can't work like that. My heart wouldn't be in it. I don't think a note would come out.

Hey all,
marimariSRV - I'm near Wayne, NJ - if you know where that is... northern Jersey, about 30 miles from the City. Hey if you're ever around, come check us out... I have my original thing and I'm also in a cover band that should start gigging this summer.
alter_ego_of_joe - No problem, man... glad I could help! Just one thing, when you're playing in the upper register, you can get away with using your ring finger up there. The frets are more narrow and naturally, there's less room for your hand. I tend to play more legato style in the low to mid range, but when I do go high I use my ring finger because it's just easier. That's just a preference so I'd say do it if you feel more comfortable that way. Just don't do it all over the neck... that's bad news.

Ah i see there is productive posting going on today then lol...
Did anyone go to NAMM this year? Ibanez put out an 8-string to see how much attention it would get...I'm not sure there is much of a market for them, but still would be cool to own one lol.

alter_ego_of_joe, no problem dude! Also, if possible listen to some Paul Gilbert music and then listen to Joe.....that will give you a great indication of the difference between Staccato and Legato.
Staccato is short, stabby notes which are restrained from running together. In guitar playing terms this generally comes out as speed-picking, or synchronised picking, as I prefer to call it. This basically entails always using down-and-up-strokes with the pick and picking every note that you play with the left hand.
Legato playing invloves much less picking - the transition between notes in lead/solo sequences is much smoother, so there's more of a sense of the notes running together with a more fluid sound. Getting a good Legato technique together, one where the sound is fluid without the notes obscuring each other, requires having good strength, posture and control in all four fingers on your left hand. It also requires good independence, ie. you can use all 4 fingers independently from each other.
Flamenco is not a technique but a style/genre of music. It's a traditional style of Spanish and Portuguese music from the same era as the European classical guitar that you've been studying. If you can find some samples of Paco De Lucia then he would be worth checking out, he's the world's best renowned Flamenco player and he is distressingly good!
As for your chord playing and improving on the stretches - the exercises I'm going to send you should help. Playing modal scales for practice purposes would be good too as they're stretchy.
fretrider, aww thanks dude! It's great to see that you were listening to my stuff, thanks for your kind comments!
Delfino, haha, an 8-string? Did Korn get a new band member who wanted to have more fun?
Hope everything's cool with you hombre. How's your aunt doing, is she ok?
Joe, does it get really tedious having to re-shave your head every day? I was watching your awesome Live In SanFran DVD again last night and was thinking that to get your noggin that flawless you must have to shave it every day?! Is that why you got the hat?! :-D
My mom says "hi" and she can't wait to see you back in the Uk again! I'll second that sentiment 'cause you're a real inspiration and I'm constantly finding new levels of connection with your music. Keep on rockin'!

I was a winner of the contest too.
I received my cd and DVD about 2 weeks after hearing I won. I had to verify my address for the webmaster (forgot exactly what I did though).
I did not receive my poster yet.
The webmaster emailed me and told me that more were being printed and I should receive it soon. That was about 2 months ago.
The CD and DVD are great - I hope you get yours soon.

Yes, a Floyd would be nice on a JS6. I would definitely make good use of it! Maybe on the next one. For this first one I wanted it to as close to Joe's Mohog as possible. Cheers.
