Hey Joe, So how's the Bay Area? I know you get questions about how things are but, I would like to ask a question that everyone of your fans would like to know. As I was looking through a Guitar World magazine and it was the issue of April 2001. It shows on the 33 rock star rigs section, that you own a guitar that you use for practice and for guitar lessons. So the question I would like to ask of you is, do you still give lessons to the public? And I would like to know if you do because, I'm willing to learn from one of my all time favorite guitar heros. For the fact I've played our six stringed friend for about seven years and wanting to learn more about certain techniques that I need to know. Also I would like to know more about the pich axis theory...

Hey Joe, It's me Kuya. I couldn't sleep because I was up all night playing the six stringed mean fellow. But after a while I got tired and then I put in Mr. Vai's "Fire Garden" album in my CD player. As an hour past by I put in your lastest work, in which I play the living daylights out of it. And I've got to had to you and Steve for making rock music more as an art, then just pounding on our beautiful instruments, although that's fun to do at times.

Hey Joe, I have another question for you. How did you find love in your life? I mean you write songs about love and passion, for the one you love, like the song "Rubina". HOw? What is the love thing? Please, I need to know. One more thing, do you still give lessons to the public? Thanks for reading and taking your time to read all of the e-mail that is sent to you. Tell Z.Z. and Rubina, I said Hi.

Hey "Sach Man". I still haven't herd from you yet. It's cool I know your busy. Anyways I'm still looking foward to take lessons from you, if that is alright with you. Well if this would help I've played our 6-stringed friend for a good 7 or 8 years and I still want to learn more. And I said to myself that it would be a good idea to learn from a person who is known to be a "Guitar God". Well I've seen the G3 concert in Concord and that would be the 2nd time I saw a G3 show at the same place. It was a thrill to see my guitar heros on one stage...
