woodman300 - I would have to disagree on your point one. I am a fan of Joe's music and have been for MANY years. There are A LOT of songs I don't know the name of. Mainly because I tend to listen to artists on my Pod and in random order so that I hear all the songs fairly equally. There are tunes I'm not even sure what album they are off of. Less of a fan. I think not.
And for those of you in the Portland, Or area only four day till we pop our cherry at the Tonic Lounge. For a quick clip check the promo below on our Reverb Nation page. See th clip check the pics listen to some tunes. See you Friday!
Pop Our Cherry - Gig

Hi Everyone.
Work at the Marriott and the guitar shop has been keeping me busy, which unfortunately is taking a toll on my running. On the brighter side, I do have today and the next two days off so I can get some running in. Running season has started again, and I had to pass on a couple of 5K races already due to work and the big marathon that's coming up.
I'll be running on February 27th up in Goshen, Indiana. I'm running the 3rd Annual Maple Leaf Indoor Marathon (a marathon on an indoor track, running 204 laps). That's three days after my 26th birthday. What a coincidence that I'll be turning 26 on the 24th and in three days, I'll be running 26.2 miles. What a birthday week/weekend I'll have!
Here are the lists on who's running. I'm on the Sunday list (#25). I also think that I'm the youngest running this event. Feel free to look at more info about this event, if you're interested.
I'm also chilling with a buddy of mine who still wants me to learn guitar. I hardly have time due to my hectic schedules. Hopefully I can get some time in with him, plus work on some singing. I did my first karaoke last December and believe it or not, I was a bit scared, and really nervous. This was more nerve racking than running a marathon and trying to qualify for Boston or the Olympics all combined. Therefore, I did it and overcame this fear. So far, I have gone to a couple karaoke bars and did a couple songs. Think I better go to another bar and sing again.
Joe: Great to see that blue. Best to you and the guys on the second Chickenfoot album. Keep up the excellent work.
DavidFord: Welcome to the site.
To Everyone: I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I hope you all are well. I do read the posts from time to time from you all. Hit me up via email or on Facebook if you like.
Oh, and I missed the Grammys but I heard a lot on who won and who performed. Disappointed RUSH didn't win in their category. I predicted Lady Antebellum was going to be the big winner and their song, "Need You Now." It has been playing on almost every radio station here in Fort Wayne.
Talk to you later peeps, got some running/conditioning to do. Keep in touch. \m/ \m/

I wanna know what everyone thinks of this....
I live in a country that does not really promote rock much less instrumental rock but I absolutely love it....This being said, I have been trying to learn how to play the guitar for almost 3 - 4 years now and NO ONE here teaches anything other than the very very basic. I know that Joe Satriani use to teach guitar and I thought it would be so nice to have an instructional DVD series from Joe Satriani that teaches the very basics to the point where the learner has all he needs to take his playing to another level on his own and develop his own sound.
Most DVDs out there are not that good and they leave alot of unanswered questions. This DVD series can be as much as 5 or so DVDs worth of instruction that are designed to give learner all of the practice tools they need and a basic introduction to music theory....any thoughts?

@woodman300- thank you for answer my questions. That's is basically how I feel about, but I may need some more people to strengthen my point.
Although, I also agree with civgeek if he has one of those iPods that doesn't have the screen and is constantly on shuffle. Then that is one of those situations where you have to debate the facts.
So if anybody would like to answer, don't be afraid to express your OPINION.

I knew I would make somebody mad by saying arcade fire is a shitty band. I have only seen them perform live on tv(2 songs on SNL and 2 at the grammys)but the sound of the 10 or 12 people they have on stage is-----less than the sum of its parts(to quote michelle, i think?) I'm not some old guy who doesn't like new music, I'm 33 and like all styles and kinds of music. I guess i have a biased ear because i have seen greats like Joe, Steve Vai, and other great live performers on stage since i was a teen. Anyway, by this time i have a couple of shots of kettle one in me and hate to ramble on with a buzz. Much thanks to all :D

Mackai Daddy - Just so you know, there's no hard feelings. I was not mad at you or anyone when I posted my message. I have just felt for some time that Arcade Fire is one of the best new bands to come out. I don't personally listen to them a lot, but my brother is a crazy fan of them and put them on the house speakers all the time, and my dad loves'em and he's 55!
Anyway, no hard feelings man, I love Joe and I would love to see him get some kind of big award or something for an awesome career. Maybe in time it will come...who knows.

Grammys - Maynard Keenan (Tool singer) nailed it for me. "I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don't honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It's the music business celebrating itself. That's basically what it's all about."
