Igneous : I fear that creativity is something that nobody can teach you. It's over the power of every teacher. The teacher can only teach you method, theory, & ways to practice. To create, you have to practice by your own, & discover yourself what is inside you.. & you never know if you are gonna to love what is inside you...

Important point : Art is rude, very rude. Lof of are good doer.. few are creator. There's different degrees of creativity, & not a single of us decides where he's able to go.. we just do with what nature gives to us.That's the life. The best is to admit what life gives to you..& do with it. Not easy. But easier way to live.

A last point that few consider, because lot of see creativity as a prestige : to be or not to be.... be a genuine creator is an heavier burden that not be one. I mean, who wants dreams has to accept nightmare.. & stronger are the dreams, harder are the nightmares.. all get a price.

About the way to record, you know that a final mix is stereo. So it gets two tracks. The mix procedure consists of convert several tracks inside only two. The best to begin is to start with few tracks. If you are a beginner, start with only 2 tracks. One for rythmical guitar. & one for solo. & listen to what is happening. & after, 3 tracks.. bass, drums or voice... & then 4.. & keep in mind that stereo is a tool.

If you really want to start from the beginning, start with a small analogic tape tascam 4 tracks. This is not an expensive tool. & it will permit an intuive approach quickly. Tascam counts TDKSA 60 tapes as the best ones. If you get your amp, you just need a microphone Shure SM 57. That's the priceless option.

If you prefer directly start onto digital recording, you need a sequencer software, & a Sound card. But to get some basic analogic experience is advised.

Hi Joe. I'm finally home near Christchurch (via Auckland & Sydney) after flying to the North Island for G-TARanaki in New Plymouth. You guys rocked! Man, Jeff, Stu & Galen sure are a great band to have up on stage with you. I really enjoyed Club Joe, thank you for signing my Additional Creations CD. Your answer about my question on Andalusia was great - I was transported during your playing of the song, thank you. In reply to your question on who to take on G3 with you - Vernon Reid!!!!! His tone almost set fire to the place!

God bless,

REVAN 2008 - how about Australia for a vacation? I don't know what your interests are but you would not be disappointed whatever they are.

Do The Stu - have been listening to ISTLIS but too early to give my opinion, other CD''s still arriving in the mail from ebay so have to compare. From my limited JS collection I guess the SL! set just sums up a heap of his best tunes - it took me all the way from Melbourne to Perth and back to Melbourne this week - a 4 hr flight each way.

General question - what are the chances of a person learning music theory and guitar (from scratch) in their 40's?????? Is there still a chance I could stun all my friends and family with a JS cover??????

Cheers

Wow...I think seeing the X-Files movie at midnight may very well be the nerdiest (non-music) thing I've ever done. It was fun, and I'm glad I went...but wow. So many people were dressing up as characters, which seems kinda odd for a show like the X-Files where most characters wear suits. I've also never understood the need to clap and cheer while watching a movie...so that kinda bugged me.

The movie was great though. I don't know if there are any other X-Files fans here, but I'll wait a bit before saying anything more about the movie.

Yeah, I love that whole rhythm toward the end of Time. It's really cool and I almost wish the whole song were built around it, but I like how it's such a change from the first half of the song.

With the specific part I mentioned, though, I'm just referring to the one note Joe is playing. Another one of my favorite Joe notes is from 1:15 to 1:20 in If I Could Fly.

There will be a Saw V...they showed a short teaser of it before the X-Files movie...

It's cool to hear that you're an Explosions In The Sky fan. They're one of my favorite newer bands...their live shows are amazing. I'd love to see a video of you playing one of their songs. From your description it sounds like you're talking about Your Hand In Mine...?

And lastly...I don't know how seriously you're considering flying out to the US for a few shows, but if it helps at all I bet you could stay at my parents' house for the night I'm there between Satch shows. They live in Folsom, which is about halfway between Reno and San Francisco. My plan is to go to the Reno show, drive back to Folsom that night to sleep, then leave around noon to get to San Francisco by 2 or 3 for that night's gig. So you could fly into Reno, drive with me to Folsom and then SF for Satch, get a hotel room there on your own that night and fly out of SF the next morning.

Listening to: Joe Satriani - If I Could Fly

Do the Stu - you guys did answer a little differently. haha. I think the plugs that I got are probably going to be pretty good. I will give them a test later and let you know if they really perform the way they are designed. If my choice was just the squishy plugs or none I would go with none. There's no way I would muffle out all the good stuff. I thik I will check out the Xfiles movie this weekend. I was a casual fan of the show, but the movie looks very good.

Cheese - ya my wife is not a rocker so getting her plugs really makes sense. She's a champ for going with me though. She likes getting out doing new things even if it's not really her bag. but hey, I do watch at least 2 episodes of TLC's What Not to Wear every week. So, she can deal for one night!!! She tried to play an easy song on guitar hero with the boys one day. That might have been one of the funniest things ever. I wish I had a camera at that moment.

Hiya everyone.

I am so glad I had the bright idea of buying up 3 sets of creations and addiitonal creations when they were released, pity I didn't get more. But then I also had the bright idea to ask Joe to sign them. I wonder what a set of creations/additional both signed would fetch on ebay.

For anyone who is interested on my site revamp (well overdue), I discovered Drupal! I am close to having my new updated re-vamped ultra cool "Roos Satriani Collection" site launched. It has really cool blog/rating/search/cross-reference/etc features. If anyone is interested in beta-testing please email me on roo@roo.emu.id.au . But youll need to promise not to spread the URL around for a few days to a week until I launch it officially.

I also just discovered I must have been sleeping under a rock, there are still quite a few bootlegs I havent managed to locate. If you have any of the more difficult to find ones, please email me and we can perhaps sort something out as a trade?

I was hoping ZZ would be on stage for at least one song playing the alto sax!

Hey Joe, when is ZZ coming out on stage with Dad! :) Awww Daaaadddd! Please please please please please! :)

Also, there was a nice older lady at the Adelaide gig who started out with earplugs about 3 people back.

Speaking of Guitar Hero, I found it hilarious that, on a recent episode of Gene Simmon's Family Jewels....he had set up an enormous big screen tv in his Kiss "museum"/office, had two of his Kiss band members there with him, and they challenged Gene's son Nick and his friends to a duel on that game. Nick and his friends were almost flawless when they played, and then up steps Gene and guys...and they pick a Kiss song to play (can u say cheating?)

And GUESS WHAT!!! They failed miserably, LMAO!!! The kids blew em outta the water and they were playing one of their own songs, LOL!! As the kids drifted away to do other things...the three men, looking highly disturbed, turned to each other and said "do u wanna practice?" To which of course they all said yes, and proceeded to continue playing....badly. :)

Really funny, that bit!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! TONIGHT I´M SEEING JOE FOR THE FIRST TIME ....ALL THIS WAIT FINALLY END... I had to travel to Buenos Aires from Pergamino...i´m staying at my friend apartment and we are going to the show Joe tonight...I wsih i know where is Joe sataying so i can get a picture or a video with my camera and give it to Stu cause he lost (stolen from stage) his camera and can´t keep doing that thing in youtube...

If you want details of tonight show i´ll write something later!!!

Yahoooooooooooo!

chojuaniche ( Juan )

Stu's cam was stolen!!! Oh no!!! The Barstard

....a new word, invented by a woman exacting revenge on her cheating husband by spray painting his car...'I hope the p***y was worth it you barstard'

(on tv, last night - not me personally I wouldn't do something like that)

Although I do have an ex bf I'm still very peeved about. I liked the suggestion about cutting a potato in half, soaking it in bleach, then arranging them on the hood of his car!!

Listening to Diddle y do dat too....
