Yes, it looks like I might be able to see Joe at Sweetwater. Does anyone know what I should do/prepare when I meet with Joe. This will be my first time ever to see him.

Joe: I wasn't quite sure what you'll be doing at Sweetwater, but will you be doing any signings/autographs by chance, plus taking pictures? I do have all your albums & DVDs and I was hoping if you will be able to sign them all. I did call Sweetwater about the in-store appearance, and left a message. Hopefully they'll call me back and give me more information. It would be quite a priviledge to meet and get to know you. If you know what's happening, could you let me know; I gratefully appreciate it. By the way, great to see that blue.

Peace Lily: Congratulations to your son! WOOHOO!

Elpp: I might get my chance/experience to meet Joe.

Chris, glad you had a great Birthday.

Ibanezplyr: Hope you're doing well. Stay strong!

Dave, I'll check out your gig online soon. Looking forward to seeing it.

I saw the Olympic Closing Ceremonies. i can't wait for the next Olympics (London 2012). I love the Olympics, Summer and Winter. It would be an experience to see it up close. I enjoy watching all of it.

That is great Glitz, enjoy!!

I have never been to in-store signings, only radio appearances and waiting at the bus for him to show up :) I would say bring a camera and divide the stuff you would want him to sign into 2 groups: 2 or 3 items that you must have signed, and the rest. That way if someone says "only 2 items will be signed per person" you will still be ready, and if no one says anything you can have him sign all your CD covers like he did to me in 2000 :D

Hello Joe,

I am new here.

I bought the new 2400 guitar.

Please advice me for an amp, matching the guitar.

Sinds I see you givving lessons on internet can I use that as beginner or should I learn the basics first?

Best regards,

Glitzy - you lucky, lucky boy you'll get to meet Joe!!! And if you buy a JS20th you get a half hour lesson GO FOR IT GLITZY YOU CAN"T PASS THAT UP!!!

Oh, and can I ask a favour Glitzy? When you meet Joe could you please say hi from me and give him a big kiss from Skippy (OK a hug will do)? Would be great to see a pic of him with you.

I reckon Do The Stu and cosmic_ape have the whole in-store thing sussed out, I recommend you get their tips for a terrific experience.

ELLP: Thanks.... well you may add me at facebook. type baritaki mara and i guess you 'll find me and i can send you their page.....

Skippy - lol, you know that's somewhere in the region of $6000 you're suggesting Glitz drops on a guitar?

Peace Lily, big congrats to your son, what a wonderful accomplishment, bet yer all flyin high today!! WOO WOO!!!

Congrats to Canada, I was on the road so didn't get to see the game but hear it was a good one, and wherever I did go, people were talking about it while working, keeping each other updated. Sounds like it was very exciting!

Glitz, I've only been to one in-store appearance so far for Joe, and they requested you only ask him to sign one thing per person. He had so many people to see, and Joe is the kind of person who will stay till EVERYONE gets their chance, if his schedule will permit. He's doing these in-stores at the same time as the Hendrix tour, so his time will likely be kinda limited. Elpp had good advice to divide stuff up...I know Joe will do all he can for ya cuz he's just that kind of guy! :) Enjoy!!

Pip, Chris sez thanks....he's back home again after a good weekend together. Couldn't bring his guitar on the bus so you can imagine how happy he is to be back with his "babies", lol!!

I think Joe would be great for any of the closing ceremonies for the olympics. Joe would be the perfect one to end the show in a bang.

I'm with you all the way on that. But, what would be the perfect song???

Hi Joe,

When you'll come to Barcelona? You've a lot of fans here!!

We can't wait to see and hear you. Please cooooome... :D

Best regards,

Good Morning Satchland....... How goes it? Spring is around the corner. Winter is not a prob for me in Chi Town but it's a great feeling knowing Spring is comin' soon.

Glitz Man...... Happy belated B - Day. Hope you had a good one.

Hendrix tour around the corner. This is going to be a great show. Joe's ben' playing The Chicago Theater the last few times through. I'm glad to see Joe getting away from the HOB. I never cared much for Chicago's HOB. The peeps there are assholes and treated you like shit. Sorry for the negativity. I'm psyched for the Hendrix show.

This will jump start your day. Check out this little future rocked covering Boots On This is great stuff. My sides are hurtin' from laughing.

Band update: A new band is born and we're calling it "Speed Of Sound" website,pics....etc comin' in a month or so. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all the support over the years. You peeps on T2J are great. Thank you.

webmaster jon - the Fan Artwork section hasn't been updated for quite awhile... i sent a photo in over a year ago :( it'd be nice to see an update

JOE SATRIANI- Thanks for your music... it is keeping me alive these days : )

hello everyone... been a while since i posted last... been doing ok... tll the other day... found out my mommy is dying.

how is everyone?

Gotta Have Joe - Sure sorry to hear about your mom. That's crazy. Best wishes.

In case you missed it on '60 Minutes', this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

hybes..he has singlehandedly stalled all extended unemployment benefits for people who have used up their 26 weeks. Up where I live that is utterly devastating. Mine are about to run out. And I have no problem with getting a job..if there were any.

Gotta have Joe- So sorry to hear about your Mom..i will add her to my reg prayers.

Kayla - sorry to hear that. Good vibes your way

Axe - yes they do although as far as I know the edge equipped BP & CA for 2010 haven't filtered through yet
