Hi everyone. My name's Dave, and I turned 50 this year. Joe, I've dug your music since Flying in a Blue Dream 20+ years ago. Check out my music page: www.soundclick.com/davedecordoba. No claims of shredding ability here, just a guy who loves composing and playing music. Thanks for the inspiration!

Joe, play please on your new tour your beautiful song "Love Thing". It's just amazing pure music, why are you not playing it lately, I think many people just adore it! This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the world as well as Flying in the blue dream!!! I always cry from happiness, when I hear it! This is a real work of art!

Dear Joe,
My name is Matt Crimmins and I've been a fan of yours since before I can remember and your the reason I started playing guitar. I don't want to come off as some greedy person but I'm a vet of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on NYC and my health is failing fast. I even have proof should you not believe me. I contacted one of your people to see if you could make a donation to me so I can die happy and be burried with one if your guitars. He told me he'd speak to you to see what he could do buys its been over a year. My dream guitar you play is the black JS 1000. If you could find it in your heart to send me one to bring to heaven, words couldn't explain the gratitude I woukd feel. If not, your still my idol and the best guitarist on the planet. I suffered a major heart attack, emphysema, and numerous broken bones digging my friends out so if you can help me with this one last wish, you would make my life complete.

Dear Joe,
I have been a student of diatonic theory with my teacher Kevin Wyer here in Olympia, Washington for almost ten years.
I'm in what you call - and I concur - the "visualization stage". I can see my modes, most of my intervals, arpeggios, etc. on the neck. I am not as strong in spelling as I could be, but have a pretty well trained ear. Kevin was a student of Howard Roberts in the sixties, and he ended up teaching Kurt Cobain a few times in Aberdeen. Not the best reference for guitar teaching, yet it was Kurt himself who took the simple knowledge Kevin taught him, such as major arpeggio inversions in the bass strings, to make amazing songs such as "Heart Shaped Box". I know much more theory than Kurt ever did, yet at this time can't come up with anything to match some of the great ideas he had in his own approach.
I know all of this math, tools and rules granted by diatonic theory. But I am struggling in being able to write my own music. I am a big fan of you and Steve, yet try not to set my standards so high as to be as proficient as you guys, though I ultimately wish to be free with my instrument. I look on YouTube for lessons in writing songs, and have to wade through ten minutes of incorporated, "This finger at this fret, this finger at that fret" stuff. I can see and hear an Emin arpeggio, I don't need to be taught the simple things anymore, except for in retrospective reference. In fact, it'd be a hell of a lot easier to learn from those videos if they didn't talk at all.
My question to you is, what do you think may be a good set of things to practice so that I may become much better at being able to write? I'm on my way to getting a cheap 20-20 condenser mic so that I can hear myself through playback with actual tube tone, rather than crappy software tones through direct-in play which was at first my only option. I can often overlook good ideas as I play in the moment but can catch them in playback. I want to be able to make music with integrity and confidence - something that I enjoy and am proud of, rather than what sells. What, perhaps, did you do as a younger man to become the proficient writer you are? Of course it's all relative in a sense, but from teacher to student, what could you advise me to do? Thank you so much, Joe.
With Love and Admiration,
Jon Wepfer

Hello T2Jers, hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I must say it's been great to be totally offline for a few days and unplugged from everything and just spend time with some of my family.
I raised a glass of champers for all of you and your loved ones and made a decision to be a much better person in 2013, so that by the time I turn 50 in October I have done better by my family and spent more time with all of them, taken more interest in their welfare and lives and checked in more often.
So happy new year to all and I hope 2013 is your best year yet.

Dear Dad, you realise you've mucked up on being the oldest Satch fan ever? Tsk tsk... christmas day with you was odd this year, but I did my best
Dear M, C101, PL, Skip and all - thanks for your efforts on christmas day, really touching, really really touching xx
Peace, keep up the drunken posts :-)
Guys, what shall I do with my Satch tickets for my pop? Do I, keep a seat empty for him on every show, or do I invite someone else along to share in Joe (knowing pop should be there), or just give the tickets away? I'm thinking I keep em empty, but I have plenty of time to work it out and maybe the answer will leap forward, but just thinking out loud...
Cheers all

Pippy, I think yer dad would want you to carry on and enjoy Joe like always. If you have a mate (or date) who would like to go in your dads place, I bet that would make your dad smile. He wouldn't want you to leave an empty memory where he was. You should fill that spot with joy and carry yer dad with you in spirit. I know it's hard hon, very hard, but it's the circle. We all have to leave here at some point, and the rest have to carry on. Imagine what you would wish for your own son, and what your dad would wish for you. They want the best for us, and we must continue to live life and make them proud. We must make new memories, and keep old ones near and dear to our hearts.
I know you have many emotions and you're probably still in a shock/daze fuzzy state of mind. Try not to make to many decisions. You have a good 6 months before Joe comes to town. That gives you about 5 months to think about it if yer already holding 2 tickets. No need to sweat it just yet. It'll come to you at some point.
It's going on almost 9 months for me, and i still find myself in various stages of wtf. Time heals bruv. Lots of time.

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season.
Just an FYI Stu has cancelled his dates here in OR and WA. :( But I have been informed that the local bands will still be playing with a couple more to be added. So if you're in the Portland OR area Jan 11th would be great to see you.
Happy New Year's Everyone!!

Chelly, such wise words honey, words to live by. I agree with everything you said :)
Pip, mentally cut and paste what chelle said here for me too, lol! Can't say it any better than that. Take your sweet momma to the show and if you happen to do aftershow or have passes, don't be afraid, let her give Joe a big ole' buss on the cheek. I betcha he won't mind and would wonder why not if she doesn't, lol! As to the extra seat...you'll figger it out by then. I keep sending you and momma mental hugs every day and hope you are both coping okay.
We managed Christmas here, everyone put on a good face and made the day nice for everyone else. But of course there was a huge hole where my poppa used to be. I had moments of complete breakdown but tried my best to keep it to myself. We all felt his loss keenly. But you do go on.
Much love to everyone, and hope your New Years celebrations are safe and happy.
Love ya Joe, Happy New Year to you and your whole family.

Satchfan - you may want to check your emails, as I thought we already were talking about it?
Two Shay - keep me in mind around June time then
Michelle - I know I'm vulnerable right now, but using the pippy line isn't going to melt me as easy as it used to (har har de har). I will def go, can't see that I wouldn't, but my ticket isn't an issue. An I am where you are with it, but still a bit iffy at the mo as I really feel no one else should be in the seat because they can't fill it so to speak. So it's like a one off mark of respect that I leave it empty. But again, with your super lady perception, it's early days.
Ideally, and I can't remember how many shows I'm in for now, on each night it would be filled by a different member of our clan here. That would be the upmost respect I could pay, and would give me (and no doubt pops) a big joy. Thank you for the wise words and watch this space?
Cheese - copy cat, copy dat. Mum is in, but she doesn't know she has tickets (shhh!). But at the moment she's falling apart. I know it's understandable, but I can't be there for her every hour of every day so it's a little worrying. She's in a fog, that I hope is going to start to lift when certain things have happened. Thank you as always. I have been having my secret meltdowns in the bathroom - and first person to turn that into anything gets -1000 points for predictability :-)
Time for a very boring glass of water, and then sleep (hopefully). Night all
