Mikesb and Samsqanch - thanks for the input on the Steinberger. I have never met anyone that has had one before. I actually liked the look of the guitar way back in the 80's when EVH used it on 5150.
It does look like you'd be playing and possibly throw it right off your body. I'm not a real big guy though...185. So It may fit me ok. I really have been looking at them for about 6 months pretty seriously, more becuse of the versatility. I really like all the sounds you can get and the trans trem looks very intriguing. The problem I am having is I can't find a dealer that carries them in stock. So I'm not acutally able to go test one before I drop the money for one.
I have also just recently started playing a 24 fret guitar. I have always played 22 fret guitars. I have to admit, making the transition has been more difficult that I thought it would be. when I'm not looking at the fretboard, I sometimes get to the wrong spot. Need to keep working at it I guess.
I like that new Vai pedal. Looks very cool. I actually have never followed Steve Vai except when he was with Roth and when he did G3 stuff with Joe. What would everyone suggest a good starting point to get into Vai. It seems that he does some musically "different" stuff.

Hi Michelle, yes he's covered, full slieve both arms, chest, back, calfs too. Even his neck! I don't have any tattoos at all, and have no plans to!
He's getting some work done today...getting rid of other girls names lol.
He's not going to be easy to introduce to my parents....what with the long hair, motorhead t-shirt, and sooo many tattoos!
What can my parents do though? I'm 34, are they going to ground me?
McKenna...sounds like you had a time of it all right. Sod's law....if it can go wrong it will! I suppose you could always make sure that you have your tracks on two different formats from now on hopefully you'll avoid that predicament again. I'm assuming you always keep back up strings, picks etc so that shouldn't be a problem.
I have a friend (not my new man someone else) who sings and plays lead guitar in his band. In his shows if he loses a string, or goes way out of tune, he makes it part of the performance, cracking jokes and sort of involving them on whether it's in tune or not. I don't know if that would work for everyone I think the fact he's a little cocky about it is what makes it work so well!

Michelle - sorry to hear about your Pop. Good vibes from me.
Blue moon - times is hard if you didn't have any bread left... did you say your SF flight was 800 euros? I found one for £400 if you're going economy... guess it's business class for you right ; )
Guitarman77897 - that guitar of your sounds like quite a pain. Floating trems are relatively straight forward as long as you don't change string guage
Igneousiceman - so road bikes, BMX, mountain bike, or all? The Trek (last time I looked) was about £1500 : ( and that's the basic model... I just have this worry that having spent all that I'll go over one minor bump in the road and the carbon fibre will go "no thanks".... and I bet that isn't covered in the warranty LOL The european GP sucked... bring on the 2009 regulations
Do The Stu - interesting ref the SBM title request. Was SBM an option someone gave him from the board, or in the end was it Joe/Joe's team that chose that title? As for love, it'll come and find you when the time is right, that's how I like to look at it anyway. I'm hoping Joe will re-record/release TTM at some point (I posted about it a while back). Fingers crossed.
nickguitarmeistro - where did you get yourS(atchurator) might I ask?
Roo - I've signed up. Site looks good. Any response from my other post?
Tuesdayschild - sounds like fun (the romancing the rock star)! Enjoy it if it's that's what you want, cool that romance has sought you out
Slansh - nice vids. someone emailed me the fight showboating one the other day. What a muppet... FAF though
Clarky - that's a seriously nice piece man, very fitting I'm sure, and you can really feel the emotion! A great tribute. Good wishes to ya. Just as an aside, it would fit loads of movies, and reminds me of Blade Runner
LMAO - that Vai vid was cool & funny, good stuff. edit - did he really call himself a w**ker? Too much....
Have a great day everyone.... l8rs

and it was about 600eu for the flight, i never unticked the insurance box either so it was extra 70eu ffs!! i already have bloody insurance! fecking airline forms, ticking boxes for ya
and m do u think i could even try n get someone to record it, they cant work feckin cameras, sure to turn on the computer they think turning the monitor on works it!
I didnt bother puting all my gear back, instead i lugged it upstairs and set up a mic to see what it sounds like and it sounds amazin, i dont know why ive been using the pod for so long!

hybes - If you're just getting into Vai I'd suggest starting with Passion and Warfare. It's by far his most popular album, and some of the fan favorites on it include For The Love Of God, Answers, The Audience Is Listening, and Liberty. Stu Hamm plays bass on it as well, so that'll be something familiar for you as a Satch fan. After that I'd go for either his newest album, Real Illusions: Reflections, or Alien Love Secrets. Then get Alive In An Ultra World, Fire Garden, and The Ultra Zone. Save his other stuff for last...
Fire Garden and The Ultra Zone are probably my favorite SV albums, but it took a few years for them to pass all of his other ones to reach the top...
Joe Satrini - I seem to recall a few fans suggested Strange Beautiful Music as a title...I think matt king might've been one of them. It's not an original title (it's also the name of Joe's publishing company, and a twist on a Jimi Hendrix lyric)...I bet it's one that had been on Joe's short list for a few albums, and it finally made it for this one.
dakawan - I've never heard of Indukti...is there an album or song you'd recommend?

Psycho Monkey (how good is the bass in that?)
Hands In The Air
Motorcycle Driver
The Extremist
The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing
Satch Boogie
Crushing Day
Overdriver
Flying in a Blue Dream
Ice 9
Lords of Karma
Friends
Cryin
Rubina
Summer Song
Revelation
Just Look Up
Out of The Sunrise
Ten Words
SWTA
and then every other song he has :0)
If you could vote for the set list what would you choose?

Yes, aftershow names are drawn 3-4 days before each show.
Skippygirl - That's a nice setlist...I'd be pretty happy if Satch played a show like that.
There's actually a feature here at satriani.com where you can create your own setlist and have it show up in your profile. Click the "interact" tab up top and you'll see it as one of the options there.
If you click my name next to my post you'll see my picks. I've left out most of Satch's "hits", but hey...it's my setlist. ;-)
Listening to: Eric Johnson - Victory

Ah! Thanks Austin, gee I could be the webmaster we think along the same lines!
Do you really think the member set lists are reviewed before each show? Does anybody post the current stats as to the members' most listed songs?
I notice you play bass - do you play in a band Austin?
Would you believe one of my good friends is a sports journalist and he went to Beijing to cover the Olympics - he tends to to do the 'colour" stories about the place and culture as well as covering cycling and other events. Unfortuantely the day before the Opening Ceremony he was doing a story with a Kung Fu master who didn't understand English and apparently thought he was asked to execute some move on my friend, and picked him up and dropped him on his head at which point my friend was taken to hospital and put in a neck brace and missed the Opening Ceremony.
He did his subsequent pieces to camera without the brace but had to put it back on when not taping.
Ah the perils of journalism.
