Hi Joe,

We run a "School Of Rock" in Cork for teenagers in the Glanmire suburb. When we asked them, who's they're favourite guitarist, your name was high on the list and up there with Jimi Hendrix!

The group, about 40-50 kids, meet every Tuesday where free guitar/bass/keyboard/drum lessons are given. We've run several Battle Of The Bands and even a couple of outdoor concerts on the back of trucks! The kids love it.

If anyone from Chickenfoot is available between the soundcheck and the gig on June 23rd in Cork, we would be delighted if they could spare 30 mins to give some much needed advice to these music hopefuls. Most of them live, breath and eat music. It seems to be the only thing that they are interested in. We would be happy to pay whatever fee is appropriate for such a service.

Anyway, goodluck with your European tour and new album and please remember us when you're in the Cork area.

All the best,

Anyone going to see Joe play with Chickenfoot in Cork tonight? Any reviews of the Austrian gig available online?

CF Rocked Cork last night in the Marquee. They played their usual set, basically the full album, plus a few oldies at the end. The guys really seemed to enjoy preforming and the crowd went wild! Extra special thanks to Joe who was going to give a free music workshop to teenagers in the "Glanmire House of Rock", but alas due to logistics it never happened. Next stop London... you guys are in for a real treat. What a show! Sammy and Joe did a twin guitar solo during the last song... Amazing stuff.

By the way...Joe was playing through 2 Marshall JVMs plus he used a Peavey and Crate rig which didn't appeared to be mic'd. Maybe they were DI'ed?

He mostly played his Ibanez Chickenfoot guitar, but also used a twin neck for Bitten by the Wolf and another Ibanez for Future in the Past
