Hello, Mr. Satriani. When it comes to music, I've always been interested in virtuosity, creativity, clarity, and indepencence. As a result of being raised on Classical, Baroque, and some Romantic music, I have never been too attracted to words - only instrumental compositions. Therefore, as a young guy growing up in Forest Hills, NY (you and I are the same age, incidentally), I always listened to instrumental music, such as, Focus, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Genesis, and newer instrumental jazz. Approx. one year ago I happened to hear "One Big Rush" and I was instantly moved!! I had to hear more, so I purchased all of the CDs available, one or two at a time. I enjoy your style very much. My wife and kids think I'm nuts, but that's OK.

Then I purchased two DVDs - "G3" and "Live" recorded at The Grove in Anaheim (May, 2006). Very impressive work. However, I'm not a big fan of the MTV-created two second shots, jumping around all over the stage. I prefer to see all artists, and focus in on any of them when I want to, not when the camera forces me to. We miss some of the good riffs because the director does not know the music, or because of the perception that everyone loves the quick jumping around of the camera angles.

Will there be more DVDs coming out from your latest 2008 Tour? If so, when? I'm Looking forward to more of your work!

All the best to you and your family, and to those in your inner circle. And Merry Christmas! Walt
