Skippygirl, looking to take the Satriani collector crown from me? Bring it oooooonn!!! :)

Was thinking of driving the 2 hours each way to the openair concert on the Saturday 26th, but flights and stuff aren't going to work :(

Oh well, 2 chickenfeet outta 3 ain't bad...
Roo

Peace Lily - we do have rodeos, I used to go to some when I wa a kid, I ride horses and long story short a rodeo rider taught me how to ride and break in horses. I don't follow them though so don't know Andy Mellon.

roo - oh dear no your rooship, nobody can top you in boot kingdom! Just making chat I guess, I know you have everything there is. Mind you I did get a nice 7" Chickenfoot vinyl single today.......haha just messin' with ya. Have a great trip.

Mornin' / evenin' Been busy. No blue yet? Joe sure has been quiet lately,..busy though.

Hope all is well with everyone..if not...try to make it that way.

scuba and ptrocker: you're right about reading the manual scub. some of the stuff in there just seemed so hokey, like how to clean your strings and wipe your guitar down after every use.

"GG2:-if you are seriously considering using or using heroin let me know and i`ll remove you from my FB....i`ve got no time for druggies."

Scubadaz--Jayus, man! I take prescription drugs.....that three doctors write--antidepressants, tranquilizers, analgesics, anti-hypertension and thyroid control medications. I don't have a clue as to how to get street drugs like heroin. I don't hang out with ppls who do street drugs nor do I know anyone who does. I'm just asking ppls to think about the history of alcohol and its relationship with opiates like morphine and heroin. Alcohol, morphine and heroin are all analgesic/tranquilizers. The only difference is alcoholic drinks are regulated in a way that it is accepted by most people as common adult beverages and morphine and heroin are considered taboo because they are considered demonic substances that are more addictive than alcohol, tobacco or regulated prescription drugs. The truth is alcohol, tobacco and some prescription drugs can be just as habit forming and addictive as morphine and heroin.

If you want to drop me from FB that's your business. And your loss!

Hey Joe,

Are these correctly licensed for Chickenfoot?

wow roo. If they aren't then someone went to an awefull lot of trouble. they look genuine.

Mr. Satriani,

I am a senior in high school. One of the technology classes I am taking involves a capstone project where I must conduct a technical investigation into a problem of my choice and create a potential solution. My project is being conducted on microphonic feedback that affects distorted guitar tones. To proceed with this project I need professional justification that confirms that this is indeed a problem. Given your rather through know-how and technique with the electric guitar, I would like to know of your thoughts on microphonic feedback. Please let me know, thank you very much.

Hmmm.... just a couple of pages since I last posted properly... ok, wading in... might need a some alcohol to get me through here... anyone?

Saw Mr Big last Saturday and they were ultra cool. It wasn't CF, but it was right up there.

Bet you can't guess who was support for Mr Big ......................................

Fatape - man, I can't believe we passed each other in Sydney... that's flukey as f***. What on earth made you spot that detail though as you're wayyyyy in the background LOL (and it was a mobile phone pic). Good eyes dude!

Ptrocker - thanks for that, will check it out

Mahavishnu - thanks Brian, Kiss my Axe is ringing a bell for some reason. Nice pics as usual. Mine from Mr Big where a FAIL......

Ozzy Fudd - another good recomendation by the look of it. Wallets gonna take a hit at this rate

Skippy - the muse I recorded looks like about 6 tracks. I'll try to get to converting it later this week and upload. I think the radio set (that I missed) just streamed live from the event... doh : ( enjoy party/beer time this weekend

Elpp - Elegant Gypsy sounds cool. I'll add that one on to the list, thanks

Do The Stu & Cosmic Ape - bang, and the wallet is emptied with Friday night in San Fran going on the list too. Ta

Michelle - nice show review, everything I've seen/heard/read about ChickenAC says you all had the most amazing time. Nice one you lot. That really is bad news about Phil Collins. Sad to hear. Thanks for the Molee clip... oh, and are you saying Al's a ginge?

Burly - am good man thanks. You? Pablo has been getting better... but I still say he should go back to Indycar. Obviously likes burgers and not training ha ha. Sounds like you had a great time at the show. Cool huh! Thanks for the review

Roo - it's no more whacked than flying over for two shows (not picking up any axes) and going home again so don't feel too weird! It must be close now.... excited yet LMAO. Thanks for the interesting exchange the other evening

Mikesb - I loved Healey on Roadhouse. He's probably the best bit. Shame about Muse & U2... sounds like a great gig (if it had been that combo)

Do The Stu - grand canyon trip looks cool. I like the sound of the hike. The whole thing has to go on my to do list for sure. Any particular start point I should note or even any part I should avoid?

The photos remind me a lot of the blue mountains down under. Pic 14 even looks like the base for the Three Sisters to me

Cheese101 - yep, I def missed out. Thanks for the mail, will reply as soon as poss. Plane lurgy... noooooo. I can't stand that! Did you manage to bob & weave out of it? Apparently lavendar (in some sort of gel/lotion form) takes the bite out of sunburn.. I know it's late now, but a future tip. Apparently Vodka's good for a lotta stuff too lol... and a big hearty congrats to your folks, that's awesome!

Keniko - when I saw G3 06 and Joe opened with Flying I got goosebumps and felt like I was going to get all emotional over it. I like to think it was down to not long being off a 20 something hour flight lol

Ethn Hayabusa - I've mentioned it a couple of times but I remember an article in Guitar for the Practicing musician (does that still exist?) where they used to play a different track from a few different artists to a guitarist of their choice and ask for their review and they played AWMAWY to Jeff Beck who said something along the lines of "it's too sterile, too precise, like every note, every harmonic had to be perfect and so played over and over".... I remember being very disappointed to read comments like that.

minimoog - guitar looks pretty sweet to me. Enjoying it?

alexandrecaetano - congrats on your new born. Amazing. You got a routine yet or are you a very tired guy?

CappySteve - hey Cappy, you ok? That was a pretty saddened post you made a short while back... has everything picked up? Two crates of vitrual beer passed your way if that helps

Cube & MikesB - the chick thing IS spot on lol. I found an old vid the other day and have uploaded a few clips but basically most of the famous male guitarists answered the question of why did you start playing the guitar with "to get chicks"..... priceless

Elpp - erm the ticket selection thing does sound like a bit of a classic. Good job you checked before the gig... that could have been entertaining!

Minimoog - it sure looks cool, and you're not burdened with the 3D silver surfer that likes to fall out lol
