Hey all, since this is my very first piece of music that I have posted to these forums I will let you all know that I'm no stranger to criticism, and all, so I don't expect to be treated any differently than you would, but I would ask that you do offer creative criticism if you have any, thank you.

This song is based in the D Major - B Minor Scale occasionally using the augmented 5th note. I use several tempo changes and some complex rhythms at times. All verses are improvised but all are original.

This song was done at my home studio, which consists of my computer and my keyboard along with a few expensive pieces of software for making music.

I hope you all find it listenable and enjoyable, it is indeed aimed at Star Wars fans like Scubadaz and myself.

So without further adieu and with plenty of cliched catchphrases, I present:

The Dark Lord and His Humble Apprentice

Enjoy

Pip - you are a legend, you have mail :>).

WhammyFreak - hey, that's nice mate, well done.

Hey Joe.

What's the harmonica you play in "The Extremist" and "Big Bad Moon"? Blues Harp or Marine Band ?

LMAO!!!

Good Morning Satchland ..... How Is Everyone?

Do The Stu.... Yeah, I figured it was for the tone but with Joe's JSX line ( I use one) I'm surprised and sorta I'm not. .lol... It's kinda like when Joe's in the studio. He uses several different amps for tones. But live it's a little different. I wonder what Joe had to do if anything with Peavey on the switch. It would seem some sotra contractual issue would come into play ????

As For Davey Knowles..... He's OK. A bit boring as all the songs seemed the same Verse,Chorus......Jam. Verse,Chorus......Jam ....outro. His playing was good but really nothing that impressed me. There's so many players out there that play as good or better. I think the fact that he's so young might have something to do with it..... meaning being signed and touring. Ohhhh !!! to be young again ...lol...

Zen.... Thanks bro for all of your hard work and vision with this project. I'm really proud to be a part of this and VERY excited to see and hear the final product. Thanks again....

Hey Joe it's Will again i still have the location on the Hagstrom thats white with black pick ups and black face plate going for several thousand but also I found a chrome!!! Ibanez Joe Satriani edition and these guy are selling it for a mint

Also here's the Hagstrom I believe is yours and would be great if it was ; )

WhammyFreak - Cool song...thanks for sharing it! I'm a Star Wars nerd as well, so it was fun to listen to. And this has nothing to do with your song, but listening to the clips makes remember how horrible I thought episodes II and III were...haha. ;-)

Peavey was pretty peeved (sorry, haha) right after the switch was publicized...they cropped him out of photos and removed him from press releases on their website. But they've calmed down since then.

Thanks for your Davy Knowles comments...fair criticism. I liked him a lot on the Road Test tour, and I bought both of his CDs...I'm really looking forward to seeing him in a band this time as opposed to on his own.

Does anyone here know what year Joe's was made?

Catchup time... apologies if it's lengthy!

I forgot how cool Building the Church is live... saw it at G306. Love that track. Found this while checking out 'Church' vids

Girl shreds with Steve Vai on Answers

Is the Steve Vai Live at Astoria DVD worth a watch?

scubadaz - congrats & good vibes on the current interview. I don't mind trying more major setup adjustments on my cheapies but when it comes to the really nice guitars I get too chicken! switching to ducks, no idea why he needs a parachute, I hadn't analysed it lol

whammyfreak - hang on, order 66 isn't from star wars... because anything other than episodes 4-6 just isn't Star Wars ha ha ... just kidding! But not a major fan of Ep1, possibly Jar Jar related

Nice piece there!! Really cool

Slansh - I almost read that as 2500Gb drives LMAO. Prolly isn't gonna take you long to fill up the 2 500's though at a guess

Do The Stu - no doubt Sammy's tequilla helps keep his voice in shape ;-) Some great vids you've posted, and those drum clips!

Satch tracks I skip... woodstock jam, but NOT killer bee bop. For a long time I would forward Crushing Day, and almost always Hill of the Skull.

Isn't the JSX 50 already out?

You liked Star Wars Ep 1?

Michelle Cappy, Joe has a potty mouth sometimes too, and on the occasion he lets it rip, it's funny as hell. You have to remember...after a tour with Leslie West, Sammy is like a Girl Scout. lmao!! - that sounds spot on! Which do you prefer by the way, Steve or his Weiner (*chuckles quietly*)?

LMFAO that bulldog video!

Ethn Hayabusa - really (Joe swears in Reel Satriani)? I've obviously not paid attention - which section?

cosmic_ape - going to that school really is cool huh! Nice story, thanks for sharing. Who's due next on the star studded list of players?

GoldenGirl2 - thanks again for taking the time to check them out. I'll do some more soon, when time allows. Make sure & subscribe so you don't miss them ;-)

Keniko - nice review, and Joe obviously loved it. Great that you got to see that one. and.... "Yippie Ki Yea .... Fill in the Blanks..... " made me laugh hard. Haven't heard that for a while

Skippygirl - no probs at all, you'll have return mail shortly

Cheese - ah, the daffy game. I range from almost getting 10/10 to randomly screwing up. I don't think some of them are possible, but 5 minutes of fun and all that

Erm, the Chads pants podcast is one I'll skip!

Axeshredder - "in tune @7.50" ref the vai gear video. Intresting, how long before that becomes a common thing?

Fatape - oh f***, you've got the jig out again. I'm running... I haven't said anything out of place but I'm not losing any limbs while you flail away with that thing!

I almost forgot, some vids.....

~~ Sweet that he left his old pal Steven Adler play on his cd. Flea is also mentioned.

Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has issued the following update::

“I don’t know how I’m supposed to wait until next year to put out [my recently completed solo] record It is so fucking cool and I am so anxious to get it out already. We start mixing soon and that will be that, ready to go. But I have to wait, there’s no way around it, for all kinds of logistic reasons and that’s the reality.

“My Velvet Revolver bandmates and I had a meeting a couple of weeks ago and although the search for a [new] singer will continue, I am going to tour on my solo record most likely through next summer starting in March or April. We Velvet Revolver will keep the word of mouth system going and listening to submissions from singers and checking out different singers’ sites etc. We know the right guy is out there somewhere. It’s possible somebody could turn up before I do my tour and we could start working on new material sooner than later, in a perfect world.

“As far as my tour is concerned, I have already started to put together ideas for a kick-ass band and the plan is to perform some new stuff, [Slash's] Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and Guns stuff. The new album is really great and deserves that I should support it. Plus, I’m really looking forward to getting out there and doing some gigs; it’s been more than a year since I was on a proper tour and all these one-off jams are basically just a tease.

“So, there’s the update for now. I’m still tinkering away on the solo record, but there really isn’t much left to do on it but mix it, which starts in September.”

Slash tracked his solo record with former Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese and ex-Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney. Confirmed guest singers so far include Ozzy Osbourne and Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows. The CD was produced by Eric Valentine Good Charlotte, Queens Of The Stone Age and features additional appearances by ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Freese told MusicRadar.com that Iggy Pop, Fergie a.k.a. Stacy Ann Ferguson of the Black Eyed Peas and Chris Cornell Soundgarden, Audioslave will also appear on the LP. Working songtitles include “We’re All Gonna Die”, “These Last Words”, “Crucify The Dead” and “Beautiful, Dangerous”.

Slash left Guns N’ Roses in the mid-’90s, forming Slash’s Snakepit before later assembling Velvet Revolver with several other ex-members of Guns N’ Roses and Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland who was dismissed in April 2008.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

Al, pay attention! Stay away from "all together" lmao!!!

That's pretty funny!

Trying to stop kids from running and bumping into me in the library can be hazardess to my job security. I put my hand or arm out to slow a kid down on Saturday while saying "Please walk!" He ran into my arm just as the librarian was watching. Big mistake. The librarian went over to me and told me the library could be liable for me touching a child. She said NEVER touch a child....it is totally against the rules.

THEN this morning my immediate supervisor talked to me about the incident and told me that if that ever happened again I would be terminated. This is so scary and my Steve is not happy at all. He told me to there will be dire consequence if I lose my job! Happy Monday, Milli!

I just want to cease to exist now.
