thanks guys for bieng here for me, Its gonna be tough on tuesday for the funeral, after that might go away for a few days, havent been any where for 3 years..

Guitarmans Girl, Im saddend for your loss of your husband, after just loosing my mum to dementia we can kinda releate , The people on this site even with the occasional fighting can be really great at helping you go thru what ever life throws at you. you can also be happy to know that even tho Joe doesnt say much on the site, but when he does say something It means a lot to the people he's saying it too, if that makes any sense, its certanly helped me out the last few days knowing that my guitar hereo Joe Satriani cares about his fans , something most top40 rapper wanna bee's could take a lesson or two from ..

Joes music also has a heart and soul too it, especially some of his mellow stuff which I find just cruising to in my car a good way of relaxing.. feel free to keep posting here.. hugs to you and family.

gotta have joe , hope things are ok your end. I know this is a scary time , Hang in there, thats what you guys have been telling me to the last few months., so Im returning the favor...

gotta have Joe big hugs to you , we dont have thanks giving down under, we do have BBQ's and beer tho, not that I drink.. thats good news about your mum talking and stuff, would take a load off your mind

Satriella those guitars should go well, that very far one on the right, light blue looks like one of mine,(but mines lefthanded) my lefthanded samic guitar ps only trouble is if they have a tremelo system they do go out of tune, they dont have locking trems like my ibanez also Stevee T is right about the Fender Squire Stratocasters,

oh the name Milo is my aussie net name on car forums its after the aussie food drink milo, if any one is familar with that

Guitarmans Girl some times a fresh start is good, my dad and I are thinking about moving up to sydney as our family are all up there, at some stage, see how things go

its my mums birthday today she would have been 82 today Happy birthday mum , I'll always remember you..

Hi Joe, guys

Well tomorrow will be tuesday, the day of mums funeral, I dont know how Im suppposed to handle this Am I supposed to act all tough guy no tears, or all out crying ? Its been a long week, mums birthday yesturday.. I went down to where I used to take her for a drive, and we used to sit down by the river and watch the boats go past..

Im just so not sure ,,, I stil cant sit in her chair...

gotta have Joe BIG HUGS TO YOU I hope things are ok for your mum...

thanks guys

Joe Today is the day I have been dreading all week my mums funeral , check out my site for some pics of my mum updates

I dunno Joe, life is too short, I just dont know what to say at this time my heart has broken, I dont know if it will heall.

Hi Joe

Satriella Hugs to you

my best friend passed away about 6- 7 years ago from luekemia it was a long struggle too, but every caseis different so just have see what they can do for your mum.. Good luck .. prayers are with you too..

Annie , I like that little verse, I might post that on my website if ok with you.. that is kinda how I am at the moment, its like when I went shopping this morning , the rest of the world was going about its usual way. people were chatting, laughing and kids screaming in the background.. I felt like telling them al to shut up. but I bit my tounge and just did what I had to do to get the heck out of there,

I think my nerves im a nervous wreck , tuesday night ( day of the funeral) I spent most of it by the toilet, I dont drink or anything like that so I cant compare it to a hang over, I think I finally fell asleep by 4 am ..

now there playing all those christmas carols on the radio,tv etc Its driving me freeking nuts, so I put Joe on instead.. Sometimes I think Ive lost it, want to screem at the world and say why the heck isnt anyone care that my mums gone? it hurts so much.. My mum and I had a tight bond, it was funny I was 3 years old , had verious heart operations etc and wasnt responding to any medications or any thing like that.

they said (the docs) to mum to take me for walks etc, that didint work , so she took me for a drive in the big V8 falcon Xy (aussies will know about that) she turned on the radio and I jumped up and wanted to play with the dials, then all is ok I went home a few days later..

My mum taught me how to drive, how to cook my mum gave me my first accoustic guitar, my first electric guitar, she took me to lessons after school etc

I could talk to my mum about any thing and every thing , you name it we were tight...

How am I supposed to tell the world how I feel about all this , I knew it was going to happen, that this dementia was cruel but the best thing for her was to pass on to the next life..

well, you guys kept telling me to pick up my guitar , so I did listen to my new song, song for my mum it was so hard to record..

sound click is stuffing up my song , dammit.. im trying to fix it.. might have to retry again later

Steve T Nice job on the christmas song... Satriella many big HUGs for you, Were going tbru some rough times at the moment, it sucks, It hurts that theres nothing you can do, and in the end maybe at the other end is a better place, I know that now for my mum.. email me any time...

Im lefthanded , and play left handed. I play an Ibanez 320 L which means lefty .. if you can play right handed it would be better cause you do have more of a choice in guitars, I know from experiance buying lefty guitars are usually dearer than rightys..

my guitar pics oh Milo is my aussie nick name..

any way its totoally up to if you play lefty or righty..

cosmic_ape yeah we lefties are descriminated against like every couple of years our local music shop has a night where they show case all the new guitars, pedals etc with some dude comming down and playing them , and you reckon they have one lefty guitar at all??? NOPE not one ... every single time... but not much you can do about it??

Blue Moon?? you got a case of the Boobies??

any way, been taking some time out playing my xbox360, I also have a ps2 and psp... my dad always goes nuts at me, especially cause I love the wrestling so much, any way been playing WWE smackdown Vs Raw 2007 , its an awsome game..

have got need for speed carbon , but I cant really play it, get car sick...

I think Ill tell my family I dont want to do christmas this year.. just really not up to it.. I am slowely going back to church, may play there again , dont know if i will tho.. they have been good to me in this time..

But I dunno if Ill be hanging around there during christmas. just too hart breaking..

michelle, you got some wierd tast in foods.. any one tried vanilla coke, normal coke and lime coke all mixed?

for Icecreem I have Milo and chocolate topping, nice

scatz72,thanks for the kind words mate..
