Greetings all! This is my 1st post here. I've admired Joe's playing since '87, but attending the Sweetwater clinic was amazing. It's the first I got to see Joe upfront and vocal about his composition techniques (describing his tunes). I've been a play-by-ear player for 30+ years and anyone well-versed in theory that can apply it in such a melodic way...well...my hat's off and I'm certainly a Satch fan!

Not only was ita fab visit for me & my family...it was awesome to win a Satchurator to boot! I've always been a tone fiend & now have a chance to explore a little more of Joe's world. From posts I've read...it sure looks like he has a lot of great fans willing to literally go the distance to meet him & watch him play.

All the best to you folks! God Bless!

Happy Easter - the countdown is on!

Glitzy - can't wait to see them!

It's Saturday morning, got up to start making lasagne for tonight's party and out of the blue got a wonderful gift from someone (actually 2 people) I've never met in person - now I'm on a high for the rest of the day. The world is a fab place.

Myersbw- Welcome to the forum...did you say you won a Satchurator pedal and saw Joe @ the Sweetwater clinic.? CONGRATS!!!!

Skippygirl- Is your good news a secret? Glad your on a "high'...lol.

Glitzman- Good luck on your run.

So much goin' on and tryin' to keep up with JOE and all the musicians he's touring with......an then there's T2AL....with his great Irish sense of humor or humour depending on which side of the Atlantic ya come from........I was so overcome with relief when the HCR passed!! ....as I was expecting.

Blue_Moon--when is the T2AL gonna be up and running???

Slipknot has won a Grammy, and Joe hasn't?????

np and its the 21st those folks have it down for, that kinda stuff freaks the hell outa me so i shall be drunk when the hour comes around!

Did somebody say the world is ending in 2012?

It just might?

I'd much prefer a T2Al site.

Can u find Slash in this vid? He was 18. He just tweeted the link. Good tune too!

Two of my fav MSG tunes -

Armed and Ready which the Japanese?? have this one titled Armed Lady - lmao!!

and Into The Arena.

I used to blast MSG through my husbands (then bf) 15" Altec speakers when we lived in a thrid floor apartment. We were on the top floor. I figgered I'd play that shit so loud God could hear it :-) lol!

From what I know, he liked it too. lol!

The speakers were monsters and I'd give my left nut to have them again. lol! They looked like this but without the horns on top, and about half the baffle at the bottom. They were even blue like these. Everything was played at concert level. lol! Ohhh, good times man, good times!

Good Lawd, I can't forget this one - CRANK IT! Feckin' drums in this band are killer! MSG is the total package.

You ppls can be so funny at times.....lmao!!!

My vote is officially in.......For a T2AL forum! Why do we have to wait until 2012??? I just ain't fair :-(

Michelle :- Before Joe came along Michael Schenker was my guitar God.Like Joe,he always had perfect melodic note selection(and still does)and both he and Joe are still the biggest influence on my own sound. The drummer on Feels Like A Good Thing is Simon Phillips,one of the greatest session drummers on the planet.

Thanks for putting those links up.They have rekindle a fresh spark in me.Cheers!

Joe Satriani Living Colour - All Along The Watchtower - Experience Hendrix 3/25/10

Fatape - you watching the GP today?

Had to laugh at Lewis Hamilton being pinged under the hoon laws and having the 2010 Merc confiscated - bet the Merc people were not happy at all.

Hope Mark Webber can do it he missed pole by a bee's dick (his words) lol.

Fatape - Al, gotta thank Slash for tweeting the vid he was in when he was 18. That got me started in the wayback machine remembering all the great times I had. I haven't heard Feels Like A Good Thing for years, and hearing it again damn near took me out of my mind. lmao! It's the epitome of badass music! I've played Into the Arena and Armed and Ready on youtube over the past few years, but somehow forgot about this gem. As soon as I heard the drum roll the whole drum riff came right back to me. That's the shit right there brothers! lol! I'm on a hunt for the cd now. I'm pretty sure we have the album, but I neeeed this on cd for my car. I'ma blow that shit UP! lol! I hope Best Buy has it tomorrow. Guess it would help if I'd look around and make sure we don't have the cd here somewhere. My hubs could have it downstairs in the studio. Saw some of my Joe down there the other day...filthy thief! lol!
