thanks for the support, man... actually, i wasn't playing acoustic anymore, but my dad came to visit me two weeks ago and he brought one of my acoustic guitars from ecuador so i figured, why not? i wanted to sell that guitar to help pay for the new ibanez i got but i screwed up cuz i didn't loose the strings down when i left ecuador and basically the poor guitar was sitting there for like 4 months and the strings totally bent the neck, so right now i wouldn't be able to sell it... so i just moved the truss rod a little to make up for my past mistake and right now the string action is really high which makes the stupid guitar really hard to play... but what can i say? it was my first guitar, i paid almost 600 bucks for it, custom made for left handed, built in tuner, wood top, fibre back and sides... i can't just let her go, man...
my wife was like: "whatever, aaron, you just wanna keep it..." and i'm like: "no seriously, is kinda broken..."... but hey, apparently i can still make her sound great, so that makes me happy... i still have to make up for all the money i spent on the new one...
hopefully, i'll be able to write and record some electric stuff, man... i'll let you all guys know...
PD: now i just need a nylon-string guitar to get all those latin grooves goin', dude!!! my wife is gonna kill me, hahaha... maybe i should ask my dad to visit me again...

Hello Mr. Satriani,
This is my 1st time being a member and talking to you. Actually I was wondering if you really reply to all of these messages that all the fans send to you. Well, I am here to tell you that I am 16 years old and I have all your albulms. Your music playing is by far the best. I honestly study your music everynight after school. I replay everything and I try to learn all your songs by listening, Literally...all your songs! I don't have any effects or even a wow pedle but I have the tremolo bar and I try to do with what I haveso I could be as good as you. Also I got my 1st guitar from Costco, and that's the only guitar I have. My influences are Egyption, Middle-Eastern, ans Persian music. And ofcourse you! I also Listen to Mr. Malmsteen and Mr. Stump, along with Eric johnson, John Petrucci, you name it. But unfortunately I do not like Led Zepplin or Jimey Hendrix or all the classical players. I know it sounds whack but it's true. Never the less I am really looking forward to seeing you. The May 13 concert you had in CA. San Fransisco, I could not attend to because it was Mother's Day and I tookmy mother out to dinnner.
I was so tantilized and stunned by your performence in April 8, 2005 at the Ventura Theatre, That I promised myself that I will ot go to anyother concerts except for yours. I mean I learned so much that night that I never knew that you could even use your right hand and slide it up and down across the fret board to make a scratchy sound, like that of a DJ player moving the the disk records back and forth. Every day I listen to your music I always have open ears and I get stunned everytime I listen. I have come from Iran to US and I was amazed that I never heard of you before. Now everytime I go to a music store I look for kids that like rock and I introduce you to them and show them your music. I guess all I could say about your music is that it is "Strange Beautiful Music". I never got to meet you in person or get one your picks that you throw but I do hope I can get a reply from you and if possible you can give some advice in my guitar style playing. I've been taking guitar lesson only for about 8 months now. It's about 30 minutes per week, so its really short. I wish to come to San Fransisco for guitar lesson from the legandary Joe Satriani. I appreciate everything you have done to show us all the new ways that rock music can diverce to. Well, I think that's enough. I don't want to take up much of your time so you go have fun in Europe. I still wished I got to see you before you went. Well thank you Mr. Joe for inspiring me. It's really funny though, I'm so obsessed with your music that on the news channels or during comercials, on radio or tv, I can emediately pick out your songs that they play in the background and I yell out "thats Joe Satriani!", despite how the low your music was when they play it. You have a great night, and I love your Super Collosal!

DCK: maybe you can help me with this..... I'm noticing that plugging any pedal infront of amps (especially high gain tube amps) causes a slight increase in lie noise. Keep in mind I'm using good quality dimarzio cables, and a regulated power supply that is shielded in a steel casing and is as far as possible from the wah pedal. Basically my setup is guitar Litle aligator, rotovibe, Bad Horsie, ultimate octave, keeley modified boss tremelo into the Pedal Pad's patch bay and out to the JSX. I already tried patching the guitar directly into the patch bay and out to the JSX to test if the pedal pad's patch bay was the culprit, but I had no extra noise doing that. It seems that having pedals in front of an amp must change the impedence and cause increased noise? What do you think?

OCPS470 sounds about right...thats why guys are so nutty about tru bypass these days.but yeah it would add a bit of noise per pedal.

I have satch on the brain tonight. I missed the show...could you possibly do a show at the Fillmore again in the near future? If and when you want to.....and if it's on the full moon again like tonight that would be great....since the moon effects us July people. You looked at me right in the eyes before you went off the stage in 1990...I know you don't remember, but I do...Anyway I'm not trying to come off the wrong way...I know....I just want to hear your guitar music again now because I need to hear that instrumental music, and maybe learn something from it. Greetings from la Veranda.....

Here's a joke for ya:
There's a new teacher starting at a school and to break the ice she goes "I'm a Liverpool supporter. Does anybody else in this class support Liverpool?" and every single person puts their hand up exept one. So the teacher asks her "what team do you support then?" to which replies "Manchester United". After the teacher had asked her why she supported United she said "because my parents do". The teacher said "You don't have to do everything that your parents do; it's good to find your own path. What would you do if your mother was a prostitute and your dad was a drug dealing rapist?" and the litte girl said "Then, I'd be a Liverpool supporter!!"... lmao
Suzie - They have blackcurrant Jaffa Cakes? They sound effin' 'orrible!!!!!!
Clarky - Yeah, man I really wanted to make it up there. Shame I was such a tool... That would have been awesome with the complimentary ticket too; cheers for that... My e-mail address is dontspillmybeer@hotmail.com for that link, by the way.
We're not looking for a new rhythm guitarist anymore; we found the man for the job now. Should be out gigging again soon too... You heard the stuff yet?
Everyone - Go to the RECOIL MySpace again (or for the first time...) for the new songs - they've all been mixed and mastered now and they sound bigger, nastier, and generally a hell of a lot better than before. Check 'em out...

Satriella, I see it differently myself, partly 'cause I'm not religious, but anyway - if you bury someone it's like planting them in a place they will never be able to move from, and you've really got to hope that they like the place where they're being planetd! I'd personally hate to spend eternity in the same place.
My dad was cremated and we left his ashes in his favourite place in the world he'd travelled to which, to us at least, was the only fitting thing we could have done.
Also I meant to ask you something about your fear of motorways - are you only afraid of driving on them or are you afraid of being a passenger too?
ooh, thanks for the wallpaper link!
mthead, hey take care bro, hope everything goes fine on tuesday! Catch up with you soon amigo, rock on!
Delfino, haha, I can't believe they're making you do maths and english tests for wrapping chocolate! Ah well, I'm sure you'll get on ok.....god luck anyway though buddy!
Captain Steve, oh I can always appreciate cool words.....I'm useless at writing lyrics so it's great to read someone elses' when they're good at it!
donnie_darko, hehe no problem! Yeah bit of a lengthy story behind my username.....I would have included a link to Dauer's website but it's under reconstruction at the moment so there's nothing to see :-(
OCPS470, yeah pedal noise is a pain in the ass sometimes. I don't get too much of a problem with it and I just run my pedals straight in front of the amp rather than in the loop, but I do get an interesting noise from the Bad Horsie:
If I have the Legacy on it's lead channel with the bluesbreaker in front of it on "boost" setting just to pump up the guitar signal, then use the Morley as well I get a high-pitched whine out of it
Not feedback, it's more processed than that, it's actually signal, and is most pronounced with a single-coil (reasonably enough) but I do get it with humbuckers too. I'm thinking it might be something to do with the hotplate though...
Yoda, haha, wicked joke, I'll make sure that one does the rounds
Now playing: Move On ~ Andy Timmons. God I'm loving Andy's new album so much. On first impressions, I'm slightly more into Andy's new album than I am Joe's. Super Colossal is great but Resolution is a little more exciting. However, I must admit to having transcribed Crowd Chant yesterday, what a wicked tune!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOM'S, MOTHER'S, MAMA'S, etc. I hope you and yours are appreciated
Well it looks as though The SC tour is leaving the US and I guess that gives me the blues. I am happy for the rest of the world but I am hopeful Joe will come back to the US with An Evening With Joe Satriani tour............
Speaking of tours, the Scorps are coming to the US for some select dates one here in Vegas but I am curious as to why? No new album yet all though it's in the works. Seems like an awful long way to travel to only play WEST coast and leave out the East coast.
I was listening to FIABD on my way to work and could there be any better song to open an album with? IT just sets the tone for that remarkable opus....Surfing equal maybe, Cool #9 possibly close but I think the live versions are far better. SC is a good opener. I just think FIABD is tops as an album opener, not necessarily tops album wise from Joe's works. Any thoughts on Joe's best album opener's?

For Joe, I hope they could read it...
Hello Joe,
My name's Adrian I'm 16 years old and French....I bought my ticket for the Lyon' show, the 14th june...I'm very happy because I' ll see you really, and not on my TV...I'll come with my girlfriend who's name Lucie, I made her discover you, and his prefered song is " I believe"...I hope I'll win the aftershow pass...I have 1000 things to tell you...You make me dream, you bring me happyness, and I think it's the musician's goal....Later, I want to be a drummer, and my dream is to play with Steve Vai, but not really with you, because Jeff is a fantastic drummer,who play with you since a long time, and I know I could'nt be as strong as him to play with you....Yet, if a day I'll be Steve's drummer, I hope I could meet you in the G3' tour.....
Joe, thank you for all, I hope me and my girlfriend can meet you at the aftershow in Lyon....
PS: I hope my english is not too bad....
Friendly,
Adrian M, Grenoble, France,
