This post is about Eventide's Mod Factor. A few on this board raved about it, so I spent my $500 and got it Saturday. Yesterday I put together, entitled How Odd, to showcase the pedal.
http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/logicbdj/music/all/play915531
It's called How Odd for a reason. I applied about 12 of the 50 possible patches to a somewhat strange chord progression, many of which are odd sounding, pivoting over an E:
EmMaj7... EMaj7b5... EMaj7Lydian... Edim... Em9b5... E13+... E7#11b13... E7#9#11b13... e9susb5b13... E13sus#5#9#11... Esus... Em... E4... E7sus#5#9... Eaug... Emaug... Edim... Em7... Em.

Greetings Everyone,
I am new to this site, and new to the music of Joe Satriani. How I stumbled upon him was not in the typical way. My interest was peaked not by his playing, but by his words. Allow me to explain.
In 1967 at the tender age of 12, I was forever changed when I heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time. Like millions of others, I was enthralled by what the man could do not only with music, but with lyrics as well. I started playing guitar because of him (I suck, but have a lot of fun anyway) My given name is James, so I changed the spelling from Jimmy to Jimi. My love for Hendrix knows no bounds and I've always measured every guitarist against him. No one has ever come close.
A few weeks ago I ran across a Guitar World special On Demand that featured Joe talking about the Experience Hendrix tour. Listening to him I could tell he shared the same reverence for Hendrix. He was putting into words the feelings I had always had about Hendrix, but could never adequately express. I kinda sat up and said "who is this guy?" I decided to find out.
I had, of course, heard of Joe over the years but (erroneously) had lumped him in with all of the other "shredders" that I avoid like the plague. To me, there is no feeling with shredding. And music is feelings deeply expressed. Tell me your story a note at a time.
In my research of Joe, I found that he has a great many albums out. Far more than I knew. So I figured the best way to get to know the man was to see where he came from. I bought his album " Not Of This Earth" and was more than pleasantly surprised. A week later, I decided to see how his latest offering compared. Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards is a positive delight.
So I will continue on my journey to "Know Joe", and since there are so many of his albums out, if anyone can recommend his best two or three, I would be most grateful.

@Far Rider- cool story, man. It's a great experience listening to Joe's music for the first time. I remeber at the beginning when I had a whole library I've never heard before. But now Iv'e heard almost all of them.
You might want to start from the beginning. You already heard "Not Of This Earth". Next is "Surfing With The Alien". That was the first one I listened to.
And later, when you get to Crystal Planet, let us know, because that is not only my favorite, but a lot of favorites around here.
Good Luck on your Satriani Experience!!!

Far Rider - Welcome!
Joe's most famous album is Surfing With The Alien, his second (right after NOTE, which you already have). Crystal Planet from 1998 is a favorite around here, as is the album Is There Love In Space? from 2004.
So I'd buy those three next, but you really can't go wrong with anything. Just be aware that the production on some of his older albums sounds kind of dated, with drum machines and the like. So don't let that scare you away.
You really can't go wrong with any of his albums, as I said, but I'd save the self-titled Joe Satriani album and Engines Of Creation for last. JS is a really bluesy album and EOC is a techno-influenced album. They're both really good, but they're very different from the rest of his catalog and might not be the best choice right away for a new fan (again, don't let that scare you away).
The live albums/DVDs are good too...go with either Live In San Francisco or Satriani Live!...
Have fun! :-)
...Austin...

No complaints as it adds more depth to the sound. I never cared for the mod effects on my Pod system, as they seem either minor or the overall effect was not to my liking. But the Eventide is rather nice.

Welcome to Satch Wonderland!!
Many here including myself will tell you that Crystal Planet is their favourite. I'll give you a list of all his album starting from favourite to the least so it can give you an idea.
I'm excluding Live CD's
1-Crystal Planet
2-Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards
3-Strange Beautiful Music
4-Flying in a Blue Dream
5-Surfing with the Alien
6-The Extremist
7-Time Machine
8-Not Of This Earth
9-Is There Love in Space?
10-Professor Satchafinkilus and The Musterion of Rock
11-Super Colossal
12-Engines of Creation
13-Joe Satriani
But they are all good though and its something rare to be able to say that about an artist.
As Do The Stu mentioned, Live in San Francisco is a must have!

Welcome Far Rider......
I have been playing for 30+ yrs and listening to Joe since the 1st album. He is the player's player.
on a note of my own stupidity!
Joe I can not wait to see you on Dec the 7th in Cincinnati and I promise if I get lucky enough to get the aftershow passes again. Like I did in 07' at the G307 show. I will heed your advise that I stupidly ignored at the Taft Theater at the G307 show. I will turn on the flash so this time I get a good picture with you. Please ooh please!!
Thanks!!
Gone........
"POOF!!"

I just saw a post on Facebook that legislation has been introduced in Texas that is supposedly similar to what Arizona is battling with the Fed's about right now (SB1070).
I haven't read any specifics yet, but I hope this doesn't mean another boycott; especially with shows already scheduled!
Anyway, I'm sure most of you have already heard, but Kenny Wayne Shepherd is scheduled to appear on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Wednesday night. He will be playing the "Woodstock Strat" that Jimi Hendrix played during the Woodstock festival, and then the guitar will make its way to the Beacon Theater for the Experience Hendrix show where it will be passed around among those performing that night.
First time in over 40 years that guitar will have been played!! I know they are trying to "spread the word", but this is kind of sad I think. This guitar is a priceless price of art IMO, and it sure as hell shouldn't be taken out of the museum to be PLAYED by ANYBODY! EVER!
I wonder if Janie Hendrix has plastered the Authentic Hendrix Logo all over Jimi's guitar now that it is going out on tour.
Ian

Dear Mr. Satriani,
My son, Nathan, is 14 years old and he idolizes you. When he found out that you were coming to WA State on January 8, 2011, he was so excited. You should have seen the disappointment on his face when he found out that the Venue was for 21 years and older only. He watches your DVDs because he likes your style, they way you shred, your finger tapping and pinching. He hopes to someday meet you and even wrote an essay about that when he was in 6th grade. He has been playing the guitar for almost 5 years now.
I hope that the next time you return to WA State, it will be open to all ages. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Sincerely,
Presley320

I think for the die-hard Hendrix fans, and I'm talking about those people who grew up with him and possibly saw him in concert (I know of one such person), seeing that guitar and hearing it being played would be an honor and a prescious moment to charish (to sound gushy). A guitar was made to be played and not to collect dust in a museum. Certainly it should be preserved for historic purposes, but to have it on stage with skilled musicians for one concert is not a crime, but a tribute to the man's memory. Jimi did enough smashing and burning of guitars (destroyed them) that I doubt he would have minded world-class musicians playing his axe in a tribute concert. In any case, met Billy Cox at the Toronto tribute concert. Wanted to meet Vai, but not sure where he was at or if he was coming down to the main lobby afterward. I left about an hour after the concert.
