HI YOW ALL.

I've been working on a project for a while now and I now can reveal to all what it's about.

I'm putting together a TV series about The History of Guitar. I didn't want to say to much until I started getting responses from people I wanted to be involved.

I've spoke to Fender, Gibson and Marshall and they have all gave me a very positive reponse. They have all initailly agreed to be included and in the event of the project being financed will contact artistes who endorse their product so they can be interviewed in the series.

The series is not just all modern players it's going to cover the origins of the acoustic from Babylonia to the Moors invading Europe and the Italians and Spanish influence of the instrument. Then it will go into Orville Gibsons 1904 patent and look at the first electrics. The first electric was a hawaiin guitar in 1933. Rickenbacker made an eletric banjo and Gibson made the first mass produced instrument in 1935. Then the series will go in to thr rock n roll era right up to today featuing testinmony from Joe and Steve amongst others.

If any of you guys work in TV production companies who could finance this get in touch with me via my email. If any of you guys feel you could make contributions towards the content again please feel free to contact me. I would be interested to hear any suggestions you may have.

Its all early days with this at the moment as I have been working on this for 6 months. I spoke to Isis who made the 'Classic Albums' series and a collegue there told me it took them ten years to get ITV interested in the series. So I am preparing myself for a long slog. A couple of people in TV have said this idea has come up before but it will be hard to sell oin the UK as there is hardly any music on UK terrestrial TV.

I haven't got a lot of spare time at the moment so I have only ghad time to make some breif posts on this site. I haven't been ignoring folk if you've been posting me. I will get round to em eventually. If any one wants to talk to me send me an email and you'll get a response as I check my emails every day. Just thought I'd drop a line so Satriella don't send out a search party !!!

Have to love ya and leave ya now.........

stay lucky folks

Cant think who this reminds me of can you

ZEN lmao

Cube:bit of chutney ferret, lol

Love the new video, Joe! Can't wait for the next ones!

Hi,

I have a question about the gear used on the first G3-DVD. I really like the tone there... I can't see the amp on stage... I think I see the Boss DS-1, and there are two Marshall 4x12 cabs. Is it the Marshall 6100 head, that is listed in the gear at guitargeek.com? I guess it's a Marshall anyway. I have a 6101 myself, and it sounds very similar, also very 'glassy' (I use a treble booster over the lead channel). Also, does the sound come from the DS-1 over the clean channel, or some other channel?

Al:Your just pissed i thought up that A min chord & passed it t yer bro, lol

all joke aside, happy yer enjoyin tube ov heaven bud, havin yet another elusive tone day myself

I think most musicians will agree with

this

just as well god gave us all the ability to really talk, dont y think

Zen:That last post t y wasnt a poke in a bad way bro, i just found it funny

Slans...... Right On Bro. How true when Yehudi Menuhin states:

"Sound waves can more deeply penetrate our subconscience can more profoundly effect our emotions than any other impressions"

Blue Moon:Good on y sham, apart from said pedals etc eq is the key or rather a knowledge of using it as y know, its way 2 much underestimated, just found my tone again thats to the eq tweaks, this time i,m writing down what i did t get it.Enjoy the night out bro, great t have y back

Cuth/Kenico:Helps t hear other great minds/musicians say it though eh.I,ve often pondered about the true potential of sound & pondered a lot more of the beauty i see around me.I consider myself a student of more zeros point 1 than i can imagine in what made all this.But i guess what makes it so cool is i can travel without fear, sit with any musician from any culture & share.

HEY EVERYBODY

I found a great JOE INTERVIEW on net. He talks about everything. His planned tour for next 15 month, the web community here, his fans, this site. I am sure you all will love reading it.

There was a mention of G3 IN EUROPE this time next year. Now I am sure its going to be in U.K. for the reasons i mentioned in my previous posts.

Satriella...thanks for your email. I'm Ok. I have my CD's......;-)

Thanks for the podcast ZZ Satriani....anibur.....

After you’ve learnt all your chords and scales, you start to focus on your ability to get it together and do your best. I try to learn how to be my best when I’m supposed to be my best. Not when I'm in my practice room by myself. You have to be your best when the audience are in front of you, or when the cameras start rolling....respect

but

My Question is: Have y ever had a heavy case of havin t hold the poo in in eastern countrys?cause i had that bass drum deal n it aint funny in sound check...BOOM loads of last night B B Boom more got t go, i,m curious how y manage the start of War there

sudsy....agreed...many terrrrriffic people here....
