Pablo Gilberto has finished his Instrumental album and is delivering it in August!!.... Look at the cover and you'll see his PGM700 replaces a shotgun, lol, and the best part is.... The first 38 seconds of GET OUT OF MY YARD are impossible to play. But I played them. And you can listen. Get ready, and... Bring it on Pablo!!....

Guitarmiester - Hi,I am a Marty Friedman fan too.Satch is no 1and Marty is no 2 for me.I have his 4 albums.Dragon's kiss,scenes,introduction,true obsessions.Introduction and scenes sound like new age more than rock but they are awesome.Does he have another solo albums except these 4 albums?

Satriella - Hi,how are u?Your dream came true ,now what is your new dream?To see Joe again?..or?....

Daddariosoul, LOve the Steelers! I think Big Ben will play again, but it's going to take a while to rehab. His bell was rung pretty hard.

Rain stopped. Sun is shining :-) Now once the flood waters receed, there's gonna be a LOT of clean up.

Michelle This is what you want t do t that Badger lol

Question to you Joe .

donnie_darko I know he has an instructional DVD out that's supposed to be really good. Friedman played on Megadeth's 'Rust In Peace' album, I've been wanting to buy that album, forgot to look yesterday. Supposed to have really good guitar work, and Dave remastered that album. Friedman's new CD is coming out real soon, I can't wait for it,check his website for some info on it.

Good Afternoon Satchland...... What Can I Say ?

Thank you guys so much for your advise. I was thinkin' along the lines of what everyone has said. Music is all about creativity and feeling. As a guitarist I feel the Blues/ Rock genre to the bone. I have to recognize this and go with it or I would not be honest with myself and I would suffer musicially as you said. So I've decided to go with my gut and like you said what makes ME happy as a guitarist. So I'm off to the Satch meets SRV who's nefew is Joe Bonamassa style of guitar. Thank you all so much. You've all given me more inspiration to continue down my path and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it's not a freight train.....lol......You guys are the best.

mari.....Yes, It's true. Mato left his sibs and is on his own. In my new Guitar World mag issue there's a little one paragragh interview with Mato and that's how I found out. The Indigenous web site still has 2005 dates listed. I want to pick up his solo CD. I listen to some of it on iTunes and sounds great. Check it when you can. Hugs to you.

Slans....Nice vid. What the hell happened there. Two mascots dukin' it out. That's funny s..t.

Captain Steve:Thx for yer post bud, that must have been hard on y, its tough when its your own blood & theres nothin y can do t take the pain away, still, you turned out alright & i,m sure hes lookin on y with pride.

Just talked to my da tonight direct & i,ve a promise to keep to get back home with all the family this christmas which of course i,d never break.Let me know how Patricks doing when y can, we,re here for y bud

Zen:You would have a lot in common with my buddy back home bro, very much a lone wolf & a demon with a chainsaw.Only difference with this man & you is he plays Bagpipes.A terrible Whisky drinker he USED t be, tried to shoot himself through the head with a .22 but missed his brain & now its lodged permanent in his cheek bone.All my other woodcutter friends i know back home & most have travelled to the other side, have a similar personality, they all had/have a phobia of strangers & city life, i pray you dont end like such & find you can travel free in the world without fear

Its just an observation Fred, i cant say its like you as i dont know y that well as like you me

Kenico:Happy t know i could ease your mind a lil, go get brother!!

Slan, did you see? That badger hit like a girl. lol! Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing that!! lol!

Here in PA. wearing a seatbelt is the law, but helmets are optional. That's just retarded.

WEBMASTER- Still no photo link e-mailed yet... I am starting to imagine that I didn't meet Joe at all!!! Please help, I have this awful paranoia that the photos have somehow gone into the abyss...

Bahduh- no problem... just have to agree to disagree...

Keniko- I think you already know the answer- the Blues Mavericks! If you already have doubts about the new venture then maybe it's not right... you should feel 100% positive in the first place and possibly feel the way you do now about it a lot lot lot later? Keep us posted what happens, just do what your instincts tell you :)

Cap Steve- Hope all went well with your brother-in-law's op. :)
