Well, I'm going to see Satriani here in Chicago on Friday! I just can't wait. I 've been strumming for years but didn't really take a true interest in the guitar until about a year ago when I decided to tackle lead. I realize now that years of mainstrean pop and techno had really blinded me from seeing the true musicians in our world. This man's sick! (and I mean that in a good way) My husband turned me on to Joe and now I can't get enough. I've tackled lick for lick Hendrix, pretty damn good for a girl, but playing like Satriani may be a unreachable dream. I'm sure gonna give it hell, though! Nothing else to say but "WOW". I can not wait for Friday. Satch is my god.

Achoo- Lucky dog! I wish i could make it to more than one show, but seeing as how this is my first time seeing Joe I'm sure the one will be more than enough. I am in overload already!

Well, I finally saw Joe for the first time last night in Chicago. I don't know what to say...WOW. I was excited enough just to be able to go to the concert, but to further the experience we ended up getting a private box for the night with the perfect view! Being under 5 ft with most of the waking world towering over me I usually don't get to see much of the action at shows. It was just awesome being close enough to see his fingers flying. Although in the excitement of the moment I had too many rum and cokes and ended up swimming with the music, it was still the best night ever and just the inspiration I needed to get me excited about practicing again. Maybe not having been to a concert in 7 years might have something to do with it too, but last night sealed the deal. Satriani is a true virtuoso and now even more my hero. Seeing his talent in the flesh was just an unexplainable experience. My small fingers will never master the fretboard like that but it's good to have a dream. Amazing. Thank you Joe!
