Hey Joe,

I just wanted to thank you for all the great tunes you have given the music world. You are a truly talented man. I'm sure you hear this all the time however it doesn't change the facts. Your music inspires generations of upcoming musicians and that is a rare side effect now a days. I've been jamming along with your songs for years and it has taught me many things. Melodic phrases are the most important not just raw speed. Note selection in any given scale that applies creates the tone and gives it the soul and thoughtful consideration the song demands. Rubina is a perfect example of the afore mentioned theories.(Love that tune.)

Also your humble disposition is a refreshing change from the ego driven Rockstars that we all know. Thanks again for all the memories.

Peace,
