Kayla, actually I was referring to the two times I've offered to send you tuitional stuff that might help with your playing, but you never responded to the offer, and then I've since seen messages from you saying it's realy hard and you're struggling and you want to quit :-(

I know mikesb is probably the only other person here who's heard this tune but I promise you it's fabulous. Put Andy in a bluesy mood and tell him to jam for 9 minutes, and, evidently, he'll play the best jam you've ever heard.

mthead101...thanks for the heads up....how'd you find out?

Clarky - Firstly I've gotta think of a variation of your nickname. Secondly, just had a listen to your sounds through my laptop and would like to download some of your stuff to play through my system via my mp3 player so I can hear it properly. Is this possible or do I have to wait for a CD?

Mr T - Is he or isn't he?! LOL

Serious question for all you lead guitarists - Do you regard drummers as assistance / backing beat or an integral part of the performance?

Best of luck and keep rocking

Hello again my great friends, hello Satchland!!!

OVATION1 - Thanks my friend about the V-amp congrats. IT´s a nice machine indeed :-). It`s good to record songs at home but my lead guitar tone is the tone from DIGITECH 2120, more powerfull and clean, but i`ve been trying different things, searching a great tone :-)) !!! Hope you are ok :-). About Blister, check out the new website, very cool. No English version but you can travel in all site. There´s a chest, try to find the code.

Today i miss Alice in Chains, Tool, Placebo and many others, what a shame and 50 euros to the garbage :-/, life goes on ;-) !!!

Hi Joe! you are realy a great guitar-player, and you are one of my biggest inspirations on guitar! truely the best! But I need some help if it's not to much to ask for... I have this pain in my wrists, and i dont know exactly what it is... do you have any advice of any kind? hope to hear from you!

Joachim - Norway

mthead101...lmao...gettin' me worried here....

Captn Steve...Clarky does great work...without question in my book...cheers!

Any of you Talk2Joers... tried out an original Boss SG-1 Slow Gear Pedal before??? I was just kind of curious on your comments on this rare pedal built in Japan...

it gives you that reverse tape delay effect or so the story goes if you were interested...

Alexandre: Thanks man! I think we'll do well, and I think we'll go over real well. Most of the artists are either the bluesrock/vai satch format with a frontman and a backing band (or track) or a neoclassical type front man thing. We're more of a true band, and we have killer keyboard solos and bass solos. We're going to throw in a new funk tune called "Pocket Monster" and a prog tune called "Drastic Changes." I think this diversity will help us go over well. I'm pretty excited to play! Hopefully the footage that jemfest webcasts will be decent.

LOVE YA JOE!!!!

you too Webby!!
