Guitarman77897--It doesn't surprise me that you ceased to have pain while playing guitar. Guitars are super therapists and they take you to a 'place" where no hurt exists.

Slanshroom--I thought dangling bits were supposed to be kept in a supportive cup while exercising in martial arts. Well...I just learned something new and very different!! I don't think I will try the Shaolin way on my boobs, thank you very much!!

Igneousiceman--Great Jackson Browne music. I enjoyed hearing "Barricades of Heaven."

Cappy--You are a man of many talents. I hope your knees recover their flexibility.

Mikesb--I'm LMAO right along with you!! ;-P

Tostado--Yes. You bring up a good question for Joe. I'm sure he would briefly tell you the story of he and his wife and what attracted him to her and her to him. What attracts one to one's future/present spouse is a curious thing and fascinates me no end.

Michelle--I hadn't heard of TWLOHA until you brought it up. What a great way to affirm that we are valuable and precious because someone loves us--ourselves!! What sweet thoughts you have sent my way!! Thanks a MILLIon!! You are the goddess of this message board---here are some angels going your way=========A Train of Angels by Joe and "Your My Angel" .....as Steven Tyler sings..."Come and save me tonight......" Also Congratulations to your Chris who won a guitar lesson with Joe!! What a dream come true!

GGirl, I think of myself as more of a silly cow than a Goddess, but I guess cows are sacred in some cultures, so round it goes. lol! Chris, who won the lesson, is Tracie's (cheese 101) son. My son is a bass player. I'm thinking that if anyone should get major kudos, it should be Tracie. She did so many things to get all her lil' ducklings to those 2 Satch shows - and she now has a feckin' Irish accent to boot! lmao! I don't know where she finds the time or the energy. She's the Goddess of T2J IMO. If she would have had internet access over this past week, she prolly would have replied to yer posts just as I did. Thanks for the nice words. I know the twloha deal is mostly oriented to teens, but as we know, no matter how old you are, yer sometimes still fighting the same demons you had back in the day.

T-Bone is on her 9 hour drive home. She has a bit to go yet, and still hasn't gotten to that dreaded pass. She wanted to get past that point before dark, but at last text, she wasn't there yet and the sun was setting.

T. Safley drives Safely on Wednesdays!!!

Joe, I was at your show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. It was awesome. I am only ashamed that I am just now learning how great a player Leslie West is. Me and my friend were two of the five people standing bu your bus when you left. THANK YOU SO MUCH for stopping and signing autographs and taking pictures. Since your show I am playing my guitar like a madman. You ROCK!!!!!!!

Semper Fi, Arty

PS:

YAY!!!! Way t be Mc! Keep in touch too ya feck! You know I worry. lol!

Oh yes........to be continued...............

Joe, Thanks for the show in Reno, NV. Thought the mix with Leslie was a great thing. Couple of friends and I attended the show and we all have seen you here and there over the years. Fun show as always. Dates for Vegas and Reno next year?? Can't wait for more from the professor. Take care and thanks for the music we all love and enjoy.

maritime>i think i read into your post wrong bud sorry bout that, typical Slanshy bollox on the defence

Al>So yer out the pen, lol, did y make out with wolfie what was that all about?

tikimon san>very cool, i,ll read yer post again when my hands are free from lil feets, gotta rush

Cosmic.i figured thats what y meant, i think its the wisdom behind the arts that make it so appealing

Anyone at the SF show last Saturday night remember the song list in the order played? I took a friend to the show and he wasn't real familiar with Joe's music. He was however, blown away by the performance and wanted to know what songs were played. All I can remember is that it started with 'I Just Wanna Rock' and ended with 'Summer Song'.

I remember these:

Overdriver, Andulusia, One Big Rush, Flying In A Blue Dream, Time, Satch Boogie, Always With Me........., Ghosts, Surfing With The Alien

I know I'm missing a few songs. If anyone who went to the SF show can help me fill in the blanks and what order they were played, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I went to the WarField show, it was great, I was right up front.

So i have practicing the modes on the guitar. I play each mode in each key all over the fret board. Once i get them memorized i play with a jam track in each key. Is this a good way to practice? I want to be able to be free in my playing, to express myself and not be guessing the key. I hope to be able to play music for my career so I practice 3-4 hours a day.

windrunner, I can tell u the songs, but not the exact order, I'm not firing on all brain cells at the moment, lol. Oh, and Joe didn't play "Time" at all....he played:

I Just Wanna Rock, Overdriver, One Big Rush, Satch Boogie, Time Machine, Andalusia, Revelation, Summer Song, Crowd Chant, Super Colossal, Flying in a Blue Dream, Ice 9, Surfin With the Alien, Always With Me Always With You, Ghosts, Cool #9. I think that's it, with the exception of Stu's bass solo, and of course the jam songs with Leslie West :)

Fantastic show eh?

JeffsMom2, well, I'll tell you how it happened. It was one fantastic lesson with Joe, and it happened because I won/paid for a charity auction on ebay. Joe donated his time for a good cause, it was auctioned off and I was the lucky winner. I guess Joe does this now and again, as his schedule allows, but you should know, usually his lessons go for quite a bit of money. As you can imagine, it's a dream come true for lots of guitar players out there who love Joe, so the bidding can get intense...I still don't know how we got so darn lucky on this one, but there you have it. I guess all you can do is keep your eyes and ears open for another opportunity like that to present itself some day.

That's awesome what you're trying to do for your son! I might also suggest that, even though it probably won't be in time for his graduation, you could consider doing the Club Joe tickets the next time Joe does a solo or G3 tour...your son would get to do a meet and greet, question and answer period with Joe and the other Club Joe folks, get autographs and pictures taken, and then get to see a fantastic show!! He just finished his North American tour, but may be headed to Asia next year, if u wanna travel that far, lol....and then there's the Chickenfoot project with a possible tour on that, but I have no idea if Joe will be doing any Club Joe tickets for that or not. We'll all have to wait and see what happens! Good luck with doing something so special for your son....and believe me....Joe is well worth it and a wonderful person for your son to look up to!

Thanks cheese. You jogged my memory. You're right about 'Time'; my mistake. I meant 'Time Machine'.

It was a fantastic show. I was kinda hoping he would play a little longer, since it was the last show in front of the home crowd. But hey, I'm sure it has been a long year.

maritime:Fair enough but i consider this a free thinking forum and place where all kinds of people with different backgounds & convo take place which is why i like t visit, if it was just music talk here i,d have got bored & left the building a long time ago however

Player of the day goes t the amazing Guthrie Govan what i call tasteful geetar with enough shred spread for an army....wicked!

Cappy:Oh dear did ms wine have an adverse effect on Mr beer

tikimon san:Its lookin like i,ll have t risk ordering it b4 i try, every time i visit the music shops here they are out of stock, always good t have i guess if i dont like.I really need t get my Dist n Overdrive tones together its getting ridiculous at this stage btw that must have been a real eye opener working with Dan let alone Superfoot Wallace, did you get any private time out t get t know the lads ie over a few beers or was it strictly dojo?
