Damn! My Steve is so taken with Carla Bruni he is in a trance because of her sexy voice and pictures!! So much for valentines day! I guess I have get into a strict exercise regimine, get as slender as Carla and speak with a whispery, sultry voice! AND learn to speak French and Italian! Sigh!!
Hey, guys is Carla that attractive? Did you see her on the David Letterman show? He was so nervous, he was stuttering! Yikes!
Next thing you know she'll be on stage with Joe and Sammy Hager and they will be melting at her feet!
Joe, Please be careful or Carla will charm your socks off!

maritime - LMAO I wasn't thinkin' the Johnny Cash sorta sexy.......
Good grief that guy with the Line6 pod lost me after 20 sec and then doesn't even starting playing until the 8:00 mark - (and then it sounded pretty good) - is that what you do too?
Michelle - I guess that makes you a Fender too? And thanks for the New Last Jam vid, how about a mankini for Joe and ChickenPA?
Satriella - lovely pics!
ibanez-god - thnx, bit excited about getting the geetar, hope to improve outa sight with a better geetar - I have the Hal Leonard book now too.
Glitzy - you legend, sounds like a great result!! Can I, ahem, attribute any of the great performance to a little NLP brain training?
FO42958 - where we come from we call it back-pedalling big time ;0)
Cheese - nicely done the last point.
SuperDave - great effort on learning all those songs! Wish I coudl learn 1 that sounded alright. Any pics of the band?

cheese, in that vid there's a difference... first, it's not an E open tuning... an open tuning is when you tune your guitar in a way that when you strum all six strings at the same time, you get the sound of a certain chord... blues slide players do this a lot, keith richards is very famous for it, acoustic guitarists do it, etc... what JOE did is he tuned every string to the same pitch: E, he just did it in three different octaves... He probably used two high E strings, two D strings tuned up to E, and to low E strings (he might have used different gauges) to get something like this:
6. low E 5. low E 4. medium E 4. medium E 2. high E 1. high E
So, there is no chord implied in that tuning. The tuning would have to have at least tow or three fundamental pitches to imply a chord and therefore be considered an open tuning... An "E open tuning" would imply an E major chord and it would go something like this (starting on the sixth string): EBEG#BE, while JOE's tuning goes like this: EEEEEE
The effect he gets with this crazy tuning is that what he is playing sounds big, it's like having two or three dudes playing the same melody at the same time... You can see that he is barring his index finger against the strings and playing the melody in more than one string at a time...
He switches to the other fretboard (in standard tuning) for most of the soloing... the reason why you don't hear that much of a difference is because JOE might have figured out playing the rest of the song on the other neck might come off as "thinner sounding", so when he switches to the lower neck he also plays parts of the melody in octaves... The melody might be the same, but the articulations and dynamics he gives to both approaches are different...
And that's why Yngwie said Joe Satriani is THE MAN...

That Yngwie incident is hilarious...it's always nice to hear it come up again.
I remember one of the original G3 2003 announcements included the word "unleashed" or "fury" in it...that got a few laughs here at the time.
EDIT (times two) - I looked through the archives...it's the August 2003 satriani.com newsletter. Thanks to JS Clone 1 for the quote:
"Yes, G3 is BACK! This year has Joe and G3 alumni Steve Vai teaming up with Yngwie Malmsteen to unleash some guitar fury across the States"
cheese101 - You mentioned Dream Theater, so...have you heard who they'll be on the road with in the US this summer on the next version of their Progressive Nation tour? Zappa Plays Zappa, Pain Of Salvation, and Beardfish... I'm not sure if you (or many people here, actually) know the last two bands, but I'm PSYCHED...this tour is going to rock.
I saw your questions about New Last Jam when I was at work earlier tonight and was going to reply, but it looks like cosmic_ape did a great job...that saves me a lot of typing, and he did a better job than I would have.
I know it's a YouTube video so the audio quality isn't all that great, but if you crank it up you can hear a slight difference on each neck. I don't know how it was played live (I missed the leg of the SBM tour when NLJ was in the set), but when Joe plays it on the lower (normal) neck it sounds like he might be playing through an octave box, or maybe Galen is doubling his riff...either of those things would make the sound close.
michelle - Yes, Joe needs to bring back the flame pants for the Chickenfoot tour. Why? Mikey has a matching bass. :-)
"I don't wanna see ANY guy in a thong ffs!
I re-watched Wayne's World 1 and 2 on Sunday night...I bet you just LOVE the weird naked Indian in WW2, don't you?
cosmic_ape - Any chance you'll be at the Paul Gilbert gig at the HOB on Sunset on 2/28?

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.
It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'
The next day someone stole it!

*One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted....' Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where? '

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff'
***They Walk Among Us!!***

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'.

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, 'Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?' I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned...

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, 'Has your plane arrived yet?'...

While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.
***Yep, They Walk Among Us, too.!!!!!!!!
Sadly, not only do they walk among us, they also reproduce !!!!

Nobody from Seattle?? If you didn't see earlier I'm moving to Seattle later this year. Anyone on here from there? If so how do you like it? What are some good areas to live? I hear Queen Anne is very nice. Also what are some good places to eat in Seattle? so far I've heard of Pike Place Chowder, Snappy Dragon and Ezells.

Had a bit of a rant on hear last year about Amy Shitehouse, this year its Radiohead, i'm sorry to anyone who likes them, but my God they are manky.

maritime: Makes you fink doesn't it? Not sure what it makes you think, but hey...
Larry, a local football star, is jogging down the street when he sees a building on fire. A lady is standing on a third story ledge holding her cat in her arms.
"Hey, lady", yells Larry, "Throw me the cat!"
"No," she cries, "It's too far!"
"I play football. I can catch him!"
The smoke is pouring from the windows. The woman kisses her cat goodbye and tosses it down to the street.
Larry keeps his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling down toward him. The feline bounces off an awning and he runs into the street to catch it. He jumps six feet into the air and makes a spectacular one-handed catch. The crowd that has gathered to watch the fire breaks into cheers.
Larry does a little dance, lifts the cat above his head, wiggles his knees back and forth, then spikes the cat into the pavement. Hehe :)

Cor ...been busy on here!
Yes, and when we went to see Joe at the London Guitar Show last year, he played a small concert for about 1.5 hours (not too sure now!), [it was at the end of the PSATMOR tour,] our tickets were £25.00 each for Joe and to get into the show all day, how brilliant is that?
Good on ya Joe.....we love you........and ^*^**^*^*^**^*Thankyou^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Dear Joe =)
I watched you Rocking on Credicard Hall (SP) 2008. That was amazing! And at the end of the show, you filmed us with your camera. Is there a way to watch it?
Thanks, I'm your fan

Do The Stu & Rush Fans
Alex Lifeson says Rush won't make 'concept' album
Band set to record in the fall
Joe Bosso - from Music Radar
Size doesn't matter, says Lifeson
Alex Lifeson told MusicRadar that the band has no plans to make a 'concept' album, even though producer Nick Raskulinecz, who helmed the group's last studio effort, Snakes & Arrows, is urging them to do so.
"It's a very funny thing," Lifeson says. "We're in this mode of not working now, kind of enjoying being bums. And Nick is calling us with all of these heavy conceptual ideas. I think he thinks we have to make our grand statement - like it's now or never."
According to Lifeson, Rush haven't discussed concrete plans for recording their next album, but "we're thinking fall. After the summer I think we'll be ready to work again."
Double CD possible
Buoyed by the group's work on 2007's Snakes & Arrows, Lifeson says Raskulinecz is at the top of their list to produce the next album. "We feel there's a dialogue there, a relationship we haven't quite finished. It's like a conversation you begin and gets cuts off - Rush have more to say with Nick, I think."
"Lots of bands have made double albums that aren't 'concept' records. Length is so subjective" Alex LifesonThat chat may or may not include a double CD - "something we're not opposed to at all," says Lifeson - but that doesn't automatically mean the dreaded 'C' word need apply.
"Lots of bands have made double albums that aren't 'concept' records," says Lifeson. "The Beatles made 'The White Album' - that isn't a concept album. Neither is [Led Zeppelin's] 'Physical Graffiti.' Length is so subjective."
Lifeson chuckles at Raskulinecz's unbridled enthusiasm ("He's the ultimate crazy-fan!"), but he says when the band sits down with him to discuss the next album - assuming he's the one - they'll make it clear that they're only interested in making a great record - single, double or otherwise.
"That's the only concept we're after: 'Is it good?' If there's a storyline attached, well, I don't know...I'm not thinking along those lines. Didn't we do that already? Rush aren't into repeating themselves."

maritime: Maybe, but then again I very much doubt that beheading your wife is common place anywhere. Could be mistaken though, Birmingham can be dodgy at times :) (I jest)
On the subject of nice guitars, check this guy out (he's just down the road from me, give or take 20miles) Gordon Smith. Great looking guitars, but look at the price! Makes me want to grab the ol' debit card and go!
