Joe Satriani

I enjoy the new chickenfoot cd, but I will be honest, I likes the first chickenfoot cd better then the 2nd.

As for Michelle mom? I'm very glad to hear that she is very strong woman , glad to hear that she's getting very well too:-)

Hello Everyone

I just want to let you all know that I'm doing alright. Been busy with work, running, and family. I miss chatting with you all, but I do try to find time to read the posts here.

Work is coming along alright, a bit stressful, but okay. Just grateful that I have a job; waiting tables, working banquets, and even bartend. Going to be busy Thanksgiving Day, expecting about 500+ people coming to eat our buffet.

Running has been going great. I have been doing a lot of training (almost every day) for the past month and a half to two months. I have done five marathons total so far this year. My last one was back on November 12th and I finished 10th overall with a time of 3 hours and 35 seconds (3:00:35). I shattered 10 minutes off my personal best, which gets me qualified to go to Boston for 2013.

Looking forward for my vacation from Nov. 26th - 30th. I'm thinking of either going to see Bret Michaels here in town on the 27th, or go to Michigan for Thanksgiving. It's been a while since I was up there with them for the holiday.

Talk with you all later peeps. Be safe y'all.

Hey Joe and peeps! Check out this Instrumental Artist from the U.K. See what you all think :D

So I am gonna get a JS100 for christmas, I am not even gonna try for the 1200 or 2400 anymore, everytime I get close to $2000 something comes up and the guitar always gets pushed back,

so I have the money for the 100 but if I want the transparent red, I have to wait until Dec 26 to order, I can get the Black one right now.

Eeek there's 9 of us registered to attend the Melbourne show, so I have a 1:8 chance of winning the after show pass *sigh* not gonna happen. Those others had better have tickets..........

Pip and JVMJem I hope all works out for the best with your respective scans. And I hope you are getting excited about the Chickenfoot shows only 7 or 8 weeks away. Give Joe a hug for me please.

Just got great news from my sister! The doc doesnt need to see her for TWO years! That means the tumor is slow growing. Woot! Eventually she'll have to have cyber~knife surgery, but for now she's good.

Thank you Jesus!!

JemJVM - Give a look at these guys.
GMP Guitars
They play like butter. I have on eof the Elites and cannot wait to get another.

Scubz, I would agree. I guess they dont wanna mess with it till she starts getting symptoms. It will affect her motor functions in her legs first~ if it does grow. They're doing a wait & see thing. If it doesnt grow, she may never need surgery. There is a very high percentage of menengioma tumors that are not cancer, and are slow growing. The one they removed was cancer free, and they believe this one is too.

Have there been any changes to your guitars and rig?

Satriani: "In the space between the two Chickenfoot outings – our last tour and this run of dates – I've moved completely to using the Ibanez JS2400. I did the Black Swans album and tour and Chickenfoot III with the 2400, and it's really something how going from 22 to 24 frets can affect your playing.

"You might not think that two extra frets can change what you do, but the difference can be huge. There were a few times on stage when I'd actually look at the neck and go, 'Now where's D? Where's E?' [laughs] It's funny now, but it wasn't so funny at the time.

"There's something ergonomically pleasing about having those two extra frets. Plus, you can play higher notes, which might not be so good for the general public. [laughs] And the guitar just sounds better to me."

As you said, one doesn't think that two extra frets would make such a difference – especially for somebody who knows his way around a guitar neck.

Satriani: "It's nothing I've talked about before. Doing these shows has been very important for me as a guitarist on stage. I felt really, really good, and I was able to go from traditional playing to all-out craziness, a real loss of control almost. So with the 2400, it's been an ergonomic thing, but I feel very much at home with it now. Plus, I think the balance between the bridge and neck pickups is right there. We hit a really good, sweet spot.

Good luck scubz!

I got bombarded with LOUD xmas music all morning. Contrary to belief, it did not make me happy. In fact, it makes me want to punch the radio owner in the throat...hard!

Anyways, one more hour & im off for two days.

Understatement of the day ~ "yay!"

I am thinking of going with the black one, since the 1200 only comes in red, eventually when I do get a 1200 I don't want to have two red guitars, so I will get a black js100 now and a red 1200 several years down the road. (and hopefully a white 2400 as well) *wakes up* aww...

JemJVM - yeah it's nice to get a little tweet from Joe every now and again.

I so hope all the test results are good ones. Positive vibes from Oz. I have the power :-)

BigBunny - it's up to 10 people now because yes, there's an aftershow pass for Melbourne so my chances are getting slimmer every day (wish my waist was :-) The lucky bugger who is the only person so far who registered for Adelaide is a shoe-in haha. I really wish there was a Perth show for you.

edit....I just realised you said a Club Joe! Can you believe I was so excited when the tickets went onsale I just grabbed two best available seats and got Row J, I didn't even see the Platinum or Gold options!! I could meet Joe! But the cost is another $500 for the two of us so I doubt it will happen :( we're already paying to go to Byron Bay for that 2nd show, I can't ask the family for more - oh well, just have to hope I win the aftershow pass.

Michelle - great news about your sister. The Christmas stuff is all starting here, can't believe the year has gone so fast.

Flash - that was a good interview. Glad you had a great band camp with the other T2Jers at the Jason Becker thing. What I want is the video of the jam session please.

michelle - that's wonderful news about your sister *hug*

'But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.' 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10
