Mr. Satriani -- It was one of the high points of my life to meet you after the G3 show in Phoenix at the Dodge Theater. Not only are you one of the most gifted virtuosos of the guitar to have ever lived, you are a gracious man, a gentleman of class and style. I can only dream how incredible it would have been to have you as a guitar teacher.

I've got some good pictures of the G3 concert as well as your show at the Rialto in Tucson. Is there somewhere I could email them for consideration to include them on the site?

While I've loved the guitar and played since age 4, I am a surgeon by profession (if only I could trade skills....) and frequenly play your music in the OR. Thank you for sharing your magic with us.

A lot of post are whining about Joe's set list, and I did see his response from Saturday am 10/11. Personally, I'd drive hours to see him play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" for 45 minutes, and I don't mean SRV's song. I've caught him everytime he's passed through Arizona, and hearing the "old favorites" is just as awe inspiring now as before. Sure, I have my favorites, but I wouldn't presume to tell him his job. I just enjoy what he does. We members of this site are a select few, and do not necessarily represent the majority of fans attending Satch's show. If hearing the popular tunes is boring you, don't go and leave more room for the more naive fans. I mean no offense, but the whining here is beginning to sound like a day care....

And, I did win backstage passes from this web site (thank you soooo much -- I've never won anything of value before in my life!) I read the posts, but rarely contribute (stage fright) but that makes me no less ardent a fan. It was an evening I will always remember. And I did see Bigtoe there...you were 3 rows infront of me at the Dodge.
