Cappy:Cool Add!

Hello Joe..

This weekend I bought the Satchurator.. I'm happy to say that the pedal is all that I expected.. from crunchy sound to solo. It works well with the volume control on the guitar without loosing dynamics.. great.. great.. On Youtube I posted a song made with the pedal.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UyfX-5q41A

the time machine is great to btw.. waiting for the next pedal.

Greetings from Holland.. Pieter

cappy thanx for the Prince, that was really cute.

Joe, You keep me movin! Hey, on the subject of modes, I have tried a dozen ways to learn the patterns but since they are just patterns and really kind of dry and mechanical they don't stick. Do I just have to keep trying to memorize them or is there a better way to learn them so I can use them? What's your favorite material for learning them i.e, suggested book and/or DVD's etc. Thanks!!

hey...this is worth a lil look...its 16 guitarists pulling funny faces and Joe is one of them...although the write up/funny comment doesn't mention his face...can only wonder at the marvels of his fingers!

Glitz - cool running....haha good film...no I meant cool running times...well done mate!

what is happening with the coldplay thing now? This court hearing was the 7th April

Coldplay deny copying music in federal court Coldplay have gone to court to discount claims that they copied the music for their song 'Viva La Vida'.

The band denied claims by Joe Satriani that they used his music for the track, which appeared on their most recent album of the same name.

The case was filed in a Los Angeles court yesterday, and the band's attorneys said that Satriani's song "lack's originality" and the similarities between their song and Satriani's 'If I Could Fly' are not enough to pay Satriani damages.

Satriani is saying they used "substantial, original portions" of his 2004 song, reports the Associated Press.

His lawyer Howard E King says the response by the band is commonplace in a copyright infringement case such as this one.

As Coldplay's Chris Martin told NME Radio last year, he insisted he did not copy Joe Satriani and suggested any similarities were purely a "coincidence".

why do things like this have to take so long....

My hubby said he wanted a divorce February last year...a year and a half later I get the first court hearing and I am £1,000 pounds poorer already!

Good Morning Satchland...... What up Peeps?

I like the way this guy thinks:

From the St. Petersburg Times

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?" I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President:

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the Following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

It can't get any easier than that! If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...

Glitz - congrats on running times im great thanks u?

I had my identity stolen once as well.

Mr Beer, Mrs Wine and Mr Spirits attacked me over the course of an afternoon, evening and into the night. They eventually got the better of me and I ended up unconscious. The next morning my identity was gone, I didn't have a clue who I was or where I was, only that every single part of me felt ill.

Downloading the new Dream Theater track is slow because there's a zillion people downloading RIGHT NOW!

Scubadaz - Seems to me that one couldn't imagine that scenario, perhaps you're speaking from experience?

What's worse is having the knowledge that you're imagining me with my trousers round my knees!
