guitarmatt, I'm not sure who's worse? The idiot who posts the video on youtube, or the idiot who shares the link and ups the hits on it.
Dude, think before you post. LOL!

Burly,
There are quite literally thousands of different paranormal groups of all types all around the country. Everything from your solo "psychic" to your large organizations. There are even a few spread nation wide, and then it increases even more when you start talking about the world.
Unfortunately not all of the groups out there are respectable. People within the paranormal community run the gammot from complete wackjobs to serious people doing serious scientific study and everything in between. Unfortunately the inbetween generally consists of various types of frauds with various motives, to charlatans that are just out to make a quick buck. That's where most of your groups on television fall. They just want the money associated with the paranormal.
In some ways it's very irritating to serious people like myself because they ultimately cause a bad image for us that we spend a lot of time trying to repair. That's the point of the documentaries that I'm working on, and a book that I have in the works. In this case though in the works means I'm still outlining it in my head to make sure I say everything I want to say.
That's about enough time on the soap box I guess. Though if anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I'll be more than happy to answer them.
Oh yeah, I have a question myself. Hey Joe, when are you coming to Kansas I'd love to go see you in concert.

Dear Joe, I just wanted to let you know how much your music has meant to me over the years. I saw you in concert in Portland many moons ago at the Arlene Schnitzer Hall. It was your 3-G concert . I was coming off a divorce and I really needed some inspiration. Thank you for following your heart and making the music a reality that we all can enjoy. God bless you in all your endeavors.

Skippy: I grabbed my camera and asked Joe to give Skippygirl 10 personal tips directly aimed at helping her improve bends, hammers and all sorts of fun stuff!!
So here you go: Personal tips for SkippyGirl straight from Joe.
Actually, that's utter crap... I just found it on youtube... But it useful anyway..

Cheese and roo - aw thanks for that guys :0) I find Joe's instructions easiest of all to follow but way above my skill level at the moment. I tried bending last night and it ain't happenin, just like my attempts at hammer ons you need a hearing aid to hear the sound :0).
Mind you, Ode To Joy is sounding better. My daughter stands there and makes the time signature thing with her hands (you know the up down side side thing) whilst I try to play it. Then she says "very good Mum, keep practicing" and leaves.
You know, if I can ever play "A Cool New Way" like Joe does, I will die happy - that is one funky song - you can't help but rock into work once you listen to that, I love the way he somehow gets the guitar to sound like wind chimes at the beginning and end. The Professor set should have been Just LIke LIghtnin, A Cool New Way, Professor Satchifunkilus, and the other funky sounding ones.

Good Morning from Arkansas.
Joe has the best mini lessons on the net. His teaching style is great. It is always a plus when the listener feels at ease with any teacher if it be guitar or mathematics.
Scubadaz..I should have picked up by the user name..a scuba instructor...Always wanted to try it.

Skippy,...the bends will just happen one day,..and you will say"WOW".
At least that is the way it happened to me. Joe has an excellent lesson that covers finger placement and getting a good arch so that the tip of the finger is all that makes contact. I need to work on a better arch and I have been playing for 35 years. I'll never forget practicing my bending and thinking that is sounded very elementary, and then one day it just seemed to start sounding better.

The Satchurator.. Can some of you guys give me some feedback on the different things it will do? My GSP 2101 has a alot of built in effects and is great for practicing but I am considering adding an external pedal to go from clean to a heavier sound while playing live. The control 1 can be a little difficult to maneuver in situations where you need quick changes. I hope to organize a group here locally just for fun maybe next winter.

burly: You're right...it's always those who misuse things that give everyone else a bad name. As for the Satchurator, well, one word. GREAT! I love it, cost me about £89...best I've ever spent. It can do everything from clean-ish to crunch to sustain to crazy! Imagine any Joe song, think of the tone and you can get that. It's very good for distortion, but not so great for say, valve like overdrive. It is however, very good at what it does...I highly recommend it.

CommodoreDrake....I really enjoy watching Ghost Hunters (TAPS)...because they are trying to debunk stories while at the same time trying to make contact. There is another show out there called Paranormal statewhere the guy has a little box that says "demon" whenever there is supposedly one in the room. I had'nt finished laughing before I changed the channel. I think I'll stick with TAPS..

Have you all checked out Joe's "Lesson on Modes"? I am not comfy yet with this format on links so you can Google it if you are interested. I went to a very small school and graduated 28 total in 1984. So not much of a music program, needless to say I am clueless on the subject. My brother who is a genius in these areas has tried to explain the modes to me. Joe's explanation and demo brings it all together in about 17 minutes. Now I am able to venture out of the "rut" I was in. check it out.
Thanks guys so far on feedback on the Satchurator and I would like to hear more. I am thinking you guys across "the big pond" have gone to sleep. Or at least roo and Skippy.
Oh and compare for me if you will the JS 1200 with other Ibanez models. I have never picked up a JS but did play a JEM @ Guitar Center.
Gotta run.

SuperSwingDog,
I don't actually recommend either show. Paranormal state are flat out frauds and in fact have been busted faking stuff. As for TAPS their methods are flawed. I won't go so far as to call them frauds as I believe when the show first started they had good intentions, unfortunately reality television isn't real and they do have to make sure they keep the show dramatic and exciting enough to keep viewers.
The reality of it is that what we do is actually boring a majority of the time. Not something that people would want to watch on a weekly basis. Sure there are times that we are in some pretty interesting locations and sometimes there are interesting things that happen, but for the most part an investigation is a few hours of pure boredom. Then you get into the analyzing of photos, video, voice recordings and the like which is many more hours of boredom with just a few minutes of excitement when you manage to find something. Then you have to analyze the anomaly that you have found which takes even more time and if your lucky you have something that isn't easily explained through normal means.
Usually though you find just regular stuff, dust particles, people talking in another room, light reflections and all of that good stuff. The few times that you actually do find something are what makes it worthwile and keeps us going. At the same time though we have to fight against groups such as TAPS and Paranormal State because they muck up the waters and actually negatively influence people's opinions of us and what we do.

burly: I'm not sleeping, just resting my eyelids....
skippy: are you trying this on an acoustic????!?!??
Bends, slides and hammerons are NOT easy for beginners on an acoustic. Just your comment about the "need a hearing aid" made me think you were.
hammer-ons are exactly that, you do need to whack the string a bit to make it work, but on a distorted electric its very easy, much easier than a clean electric and worlds ahead of an acoustic, same with slides.
Bends just take a bit of muscle.
My latest venture is the wonderful world of vibrato... Woo bloody hooo... Anyone got some good tips for me? I am trying to work out the whole locked finger, drive from the wrist and forearm/elbow, but I just cannot seem to get a natural "wobble". My vibrato was always sub-standard.

Hey Joe, I went into Gary's tiny shop to ask him to strip some guitars and had no idea he did a lot of work with you... LOL!
I found the place on the internet as I was heading to the states only for a few days.. When I get there, I went in and thought "bloody hell, I'm not leaving my guitars here", it looked so run-down and a dodgy operation!
HA HA HA...
Then I saw some of the framed albums around the place, got talking and the penny dropped... DOH! that's who he is!!!
That was funny. Do you still do work with him? Fernando (I think it was) was telling me about being at the 20th anniversary replay gig of "surfing" at the original studio. I wish I could have got to that.. Surfing was the album that got me hooked.
Did anyone have a boot video or cd of that whole gig?
