SuperDave--I hope you pass the audition and they want you to join the band.

Keniko--Is Illinois any closer to shedding the corrupt cads that make a certain stepmom (my Steve's) from Chicago mad as hell! She said if she ever went back to Illinois she would take a whole truckload of bleach and other disinfectants to clean up the stinking state! And slap some sense into the governor or better yet kick his ass!!

Geeze, I'm tired and there's no rest for the weary!!

I'm glad there's no such thing as global warming. Ha! Ha!

I couldn't believe it was 73 degrees F here yesterday and they said it was going to be about the same today. This is more like the beginning of summer! Old man winter where are you??????????????

gg2 - were you logged in? I think you can only post if you are logged in.

If you were logged in, that's curious, let me know and I'll have to look into it of course.

GGirl, ol' man winter is over here on the east coast kicking our butts! It's 27F here, and it's supposed to be HIGH of 17F by Friday.

Glitz, the Eagles and Steelers would be the dream Super Bowl for us peeps in PA!!

C'mon everybody, sway with me!

Blue Moon - sounds like the same flu thing that's been going around then. Keep up the meds and the rest. Or emigrate somewhere warm... that's my plan. I don't think I've yet managed one holiday that didn't result in airplane flu!

Oh, and if you IMDB Joseph you can see all his "movie" related work

Igneous - now that's funny... goes onto internet, makes posts, forgets to get a youtoob account. Some downhill mountain bike footage would be great. Or some velodrome work? Get cracking then please

Roo - ok, but the suspense is... well suspenseful! I'll plump for you've had two custom graphics of some sort put on to JS1/1000/1200's : )

Glitzman - what is it that stirs you about running? I was pretty keen when I was really young and did a lot of cross country, but then I diverted to speed (fast road bike & cars) so it ended up as a fitness tool only and less fun

Fatape - that's my kind of weather. But last time I hit NSW you guys could only manage high 20's for me LOL

Skippygirl - there's an excercise Joseph does to warm up that would train your fingers for switching speed. It was posted fairly recently by Cheese and I linked it for Rialton. You might want to check it out, and it'll prob be frustrating to start with. I also have something that should help your fingers stretch but don't want to bombard you with too much info.... and I should practice what I'm preaching too!

Cube - I'd find it all too easy to get spoilt for choice and trying gear to find "my tone". There aren't any good shops near me so it's not too difficult to avoid buying stuff. Interesting what you & Slansh are discussing about OD's & pickup height. Is there an obvious point when you've got the pickup height just right or is it just personal pref?

Oh, and don't you mean Muse ? : ) I class them as local, about 50 miles away. Matt used to get his guitars done here but not sure if he still does

lofoten - I might be wrong but I though a JS20S was basicallu as JS100 with the Surfing graphics and therefore doesn't have the good Ibanez Neck or Joe's pickups or any of the good stuff you get on a JS1000/JS1200 so maybe that's where the issue is? The cool, but not quite perfect (from what I understand) version of the Surfing guitar is the JS20th which would be probably nearer 40,000 kroner

Keniko - nice vid and nice geetar too!

Rialton - I like your X Files Joe is an alien theory. Very good

Anibur - although, tit bits does sound more interesting, probably a late nite channel 5 show....

Satriella - good name for a song that! Thanx... I'll be back

Do The Stu - you ok? Bit quiet.......

Some soldiers having an awkward day at the office - Whoops

Soul To Strings: I looked up your website and listened to your stuff. I like it a lot. I think it has a somber intensity without being depressing. I think you should try to get on emusic.

This information may have saved many men if viewed before Christmas....

Pip, that vid might be late for Christmas, but it's early for Valentine's Day. My husband just got an email ;- )

Thanks!

Joe Satrini: Yes... It is suspenseful isn't it! :)

Glitzy - yes NLP works for anything. I've used it for many years. Give it a go - can't hurt can it? Good luck with it in any case.

Phil - I did get the one where Joe uses 4 fingers on 4 strings on 4 frets, then reverses them and goes up an down the neck - I do try it every day if that's the one you mean.

Someone also said powerballs help - I have to think about that one, sounds interesting tho!

I have trouble with D,C,F. Not D itself but switching to D is hard. With C, someone said to add the pinkie to the 1st string 3rd fret and it will still be a C and it won't matter then that my 1st finger touches the 1st string. F is a nightmare it just sounds like "gloop" "gloop" - like crap in other words.

Auld Lang Syne is coming along though, I love G..........

Keniko, you get a 10 for the mural, a 10 for the t-shirt, a 10 for the JSX, a 10 for the song, and a 10 for the neaty cool studio set-up!

Now we're cooking with gas!

Gotta Have Joe: Happy birthday!

Joe Satriani: Thanks :P

well....i just got news i passed my electrician diploma WOO HOO!!... now i get t go look for how many job vacancys theres not...DOH

Suns back oot Al! y got lucky, unlike those poor sods frozen in Madrid Airport for days

Hi dear Webmaster. give my following message to Satch PLZ. thanx a lot.

Yay Roy!! I raise my coffee to ya!

Cheers!

thx i tell yer mama M tis a relief, i was pretty much screwed t look for work in Barca because Madrid for some reason "after waiting for months & paying the government 250 Euro" cant find the Spanish equivalent of my Scottish exam papers...250 notes & countless hours spent on cueing & paper work organisation for sweet f all!

Now at least i can look & apply for work here as opposed t being offered badly paid construction labour work paid in the black

PS:NB t all those from other countrys even if you ARE within the EU looking for work in Spain......your old exam papers are WORTHLESS!!! dont even attempt moving here unless you can get the Spanish exam equivalent & have your speakin & written Spanish down pat
