Hi Joe, and hi everyone!. I'm new to the site and new to playing guitar. I've always been a synth-man, and I suppose because of that guitar is coming along quite nicely. Anyone know how Joe fingers an open A chord? does he use fingers 1,2,3 or 2,3,4. just curious. having a hell of a time getting that little finger over the fret to make the A sus.
Looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver Joe!

Hey Joe...
I'm 16 and became obsessed with the Guitar about 5 years Ago.
I would practice Hours and Hours On End after i Learned my First Song Ode TO Joy.. I was a Metal head, wanting to Learn every song by Metallica, Maiden etc.. I got into my own music about 2 years ago, Stepping away from What i can play from others and developing my own style. I Guess that was just the Immature Stages of a Guitarist, but It certainly taught me Technique.. Along the Road i read one your articles/Video's on youtube/Guitar world speaking about Emotional Playing.. And my GOD it's like a Drug! At Times i would get Overwhelmed with this feeling and I'd start to shake and Had to Scream.. These licks would Come out of Know where on the spot and i Had no clue where it came form.. Thus i realized it came from the Heart and Not Head. It's Intense I've finally reached the lvl of playing I've dreamed to have ever since i heard Kirk Rip his Solo's From Ride the Lightning To and Justice.. You where his teacher at one point so i knew I had to Throw in some Satch in My Vocab. And might i say an Inspiration you were to my playing.. I'm renown here in Charlotte, Nc as a Vai Junior, Little Satch, Mikey Van Halen from all The guitar center's/Sam Ash's; Friends Relatives that hear me.. And i Promise I am soon to be One Of The Next greatest virtuoso's the World has ever heard..
Through my knowledge of Quantum Physics, Metaphysics, Sacred Geometry, String Theory "The law of Attraction," Spiritualism; I've been called with a Very high spritual calling in this world and the next, that, I am Defiantly aware of the "hidden" aspect's this cruel world has... As well as Other's
My main Point of this message was to tell you Two night's Ago
(Morning of 5-7-09) i had a Dream on what i believe to be a Coast somewhere/ Fishing Dock where you had some apartment complex.. You took me up to your House and Should me some techniques of yours on the Guitar.. You where plugged in to your signature JSX and then handed over to me your Guitar, And said "Play with your Heart". You stepped outside onto some balcony and closed the Door behind you so your presence wouldn't distract me, but you still heard me.. So I Played.. And i Played My Heart out.. It was the most amazing Guitar work I've ever heard..
When i finished you came back in and Said, "Perfect"..
When i was to leave i saw around 4 Little Boxes of Dimarzio pick-ups, Not sure Which model's, but you gave me two, To put in my Bridge and neck, And you said "There, That should Help your Journey..
I then woke up from my slumber and started playing my guitar,
and having these revelations..
Strange Dream Huh
I've read the content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, and can virtually Mean anything.. I've had prophetic dream's before of The Gates of hell That arose in a vast waste land and Satan with his back towards me walking away, IN Which during that time My wind chime in my Room Had these Specter Balls of Light Circling around it.. I've been told by Priest's at the Ministry i attend the Purpose for it.. But for this dream i had of us..
I don't Joe. lol
Maybe there will be an epic battle in the Future
In which musician's will activate some Mind conscious state to where Frequency, space and time will be Visible and Physical
and enter a Magic Universal War; That we may cross path's.. After all we Musician's are Magician's in a way.. Manipulating Time, Frequency, Rhythm, Vibration etc. lol But that's my Imagination ;)
What are your thought's?

Cheese-
I have seen this first hand and it WILL work.
Anytime you open your mouth to eat anything, MAKE SURE you balance your protein and carbohydrates equally. Go a little over on protein. Eat Chicken and fish. Cut out the fat especially animal fat so pork and beef are to be kept to rare occasion. Get your fat from good sources like eggs nuts and good oil (olive oil).
Sample meal breakfast: oatmeal unsweetened 2 eggs
snack protein bar ( the more balanced the better)
lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken Tuscan and a Protein shake
snack: another bar
dinner Lean Cuisine Grilled Chicken and Penne Pasta , protein shake
before bed: another bar.
Drink 6 -8 oz. glasses of water a day.
Do this and you can't help but drop pounds. Even with minimal exercise.
I recommend EAS protein powder ( Sam's Club) and for the bars Pure Protein (Sam's) or Balance Gold (Sams)
Do this for a month and you will never change the way you eat. You will not get hungry as long as you eat more often and balance protein and carbs.

Cheese after you have done this for 3-4 weeks use Saturday for a cheat day. Eat something you really like, but jump right back into the routine on Sunday or use Sunday as a cheat...
I was not really fat, I was very muscular about 270 lbs, very solid very strong.
After 40 My knees would not hold up to suit my active lifestyle. I last a lot of muscle but I lost the excess fat around my middle.
I have never had a 6 pack, but now with just a little ab work I can have it.
read your labels..I got off cholesterol meds as well as blood pressure. and I will never go back to that again. It is a lifestyle change that was very doable. It works like nothing else.
Tonight is my cheat night. I'm going for a huge plate of grilled chicken and pasta with Asiago sauce...yummy. That is what I crave, and of course you can't overload on pasta during the week because of the carbs.
Try it you will like it.

Ozzy - now THAT's encouraging - spill the beans buddy, or drop me an email with the inside goss pls - I so hope you are right.!! We will have to organise a T2J bus like the UK Pip one.
Re the fires - hope all are safe, Lord knows we have the recent fire experiences here still fresh in our minds so we feel for anyone facing fires near them.
Thanks for all the links and interviews everyone, I have really enjoyed this build up to CF - wish I could be in SF or anywhere for the shows and hope you all have a great time.

Great new Dream Theater song released, the video is even cooler!
Even better, I started surfing that site for concerts in NM and TX and Slayer is playing in Albuquerque along with a bunch of great new metal bands. Slayer is one of the few artists I like that I haven't seen live doing a headline show (30 minutes at Ozzfest doesn't count, I barely started moshing when it was all over). I guess this will be my 2009 concert trip!

Joe _ I'm confused.
I have to admit that for me there's no key of tone.
Each one his own. Tone is infinite.
I need a Strat. Simply a standard strat, & what is between. I know nothing about heads, & i need the between.
Just realized that what is between isn't in a head, or is the sleeping head.
