I dont wanna be a bitch about this, but by the looks of things this years G3 is the only chance I am going to get of being in the top 10 rows at a concert with my favourite musician :-(

This package thing, although being a great money making idea shouldn't include the thing about the seats...passes and merchandise yeah I don't mind I'll just keep entering competitions when it comes to shows, but seating shouldnt be included in my opinion, its kinda unfair

anyway thats what I think, I dont expect anyone to care, or for it to make much difference..but still I had to voice it.

I've always wanted to ask this, was anyone hear at the Live In San Francisco show that made it onto DVD?

Trutina Excellent lol

Trutina I want to be able to play the guitar like you, and was wondering what kind of things should I practice, I'm pretty much fluent with the major scale and all of its modes in all keys...now I'm stuck...stuck as a bee in butter...(thats as good a simile as I can form right now lol) So what kind of things should I be looking into practicing?

Thanks

Do The Stu That show was so awesome, you guys mustve had such a good night.

I'm going to write 3 instrumental tracks, each about 3 minutes long for a project I want to complete for my own personal project...the tracks will sort of link into each other kind of like the tracks from Dream Theater's "Scenes From A Memory" (which my mamma bought me bless her)...and themed kind of like how "Engines Of Creation" (which my mamma bought me previously in the week...lets say around Thursday)...

Any suggestions on a theme?

OMG that G3 parody is genius...Joe sounds high, Steve sounds so relaxed, and YJM sounds like he is trying to talk with a duvet in his mouth lol excellent, good stuff, good work man!

Trutina That sounds rough, be careful with the chainsaw...guitarists could do without the self-amputations...intentional or not lol.

Trutina WHOOOOOA that was a post and 3/4's lol. Thanks man that was really helpful, I'm still looking for a theme for my 3 tracks I wanna write. I noticed someone suggested a war theme...and strangely enough when I was experimenting with my fx processor I added some delay and phaser to a rectified distortion and it sounds like a really cool "helicopter" effect lol....which was kinda cool.

What have you been listening to recently?

My mamma bought my "Scenes From A Memory" during the weekend so I'm kinda stuck listening to that and "Engines Of Creation" which she got me last thursday lol...good mixture.

I've also started playing with the lights off lol

Anyway good to hear there were no amputations!

Welcome back Joe, I had no idea you were away lol Hope it went ok over there and I'm looking forward to seeing you on June the 26th, should be an excellent show...I'm in the second row look out for the guy in the bright orange hat lol

Trutina I getcha, and I've had an idea already about a comedic thing, your suggestion of making it a play type structure does make it so much easier so thanx lol.

What software do you use to make your drums with on your songs?

LMAO Trutina you've just reminded me about the drum machine built into my RP200 lol whoops

Novjul I'll try to pursuade my parents to get me a package for christmas or something, but thats just me...I rely on my parents too much, I need to work for my money and buy myself my own schtuff...especially 7-string guitars...buying one of them would rock.

Joe Satriani: Cool, I hope to win a pass for an upcoming G3, obviously looking forward to seeing your guys play, probably Fripp more out of curiosity than anything because I haven't heard much of his stuff, anywayz good luck with your practicing and take care.

Trutina Its amazing how playing with the drum machine in my effects thingy has got my timing a wee bit better (see thats some scottish bringing some colour to the message board, and no I'm not scottish but still...how exotic).

Clarky LMAO...right well I had no stupid questions, nothing amazing to report or anything serious to ask of you either...but welcome back!

MarimariSRV Well said, I'm glad you brought up the thing about the playing the right handed strat left handed, that shows so much persistance to learn the guitar even though it wasn't built in a way that would be comfortable for him...anwayz its a discussion that I feel you have closed so Ima shut up :-)

Joe Satriani If you went into the chat tonight I will have missed you...its nearly 3am over here and my back hurts from a whole load of sitting lol...g'night

My soundclick stuff

Anybody who wants to listen to me attempting to play the guitar then go ahead lol, But i warn you...its not that good.

how witty...

Goooooooood Morning Viet-Satchland Well its nearly 2pm and I've only just got my fat ass out of bed..and thats only because my next door neighbours are at it again...yes thats right they are at it AGAIN.

I don't wanna hear 70-year-olds doing that (sorry to any 70-year-olds out there)...but they sound like a smashed up moped tring to start...do this to get a full perspective on the situation.

Put on the huskiest voice you can, exhale and say "wah"...now do it for around 30 minutes and see how annoying it gets.

Anyways since no one is in my house I'm playing some Dream Theater through the wall...see how the old bangers like that! Mwahahahahahahhahaha

Any body else been woken up in this way before?

WHOOOOOO 22 Days Till G3

I think it won't actually hit me till I'm actually at the venue how fantabulous this night is going to be:
best friend
guitars
joe
steve
and a little bit of curiosity called Fripp

Anywayz I'm going into town today to play some 7-strings hopefully so I came on to go on the Ibanez site and write some names down lol...hopefully I might get to play a JS model or a JEM model.

Have a nice day y'all

I played the RG1527 and I think it is "wickamundo" which is not a phrase I use lightly...or ever...

Anywayz got me the G3 Live in Denver DVD and so far its cool (about 1 minute into, Joe has just started Satch Boogie)...I chuckled to myself at Yngwie on the menu screen lol.

Anywayz back in a few hours, Im gonna watch it like 9 times lol.

LOL ok I misheard Yngwie and it was the stupidest thing I thought he said.

When Joe is saying like "Yngwie Malmsteen on the electric guitar....Steve Vai on the electric guitar" and then Yngwie says something along the lines of "Joe Satriani...the man" because of his accent I thought he said "Joe Satriani...dumbass"...

Anywayz its a great dvd and an excellent show I cannot wait till G3-04

Delfino

Well people its 4pm and I am tired...so g'night

I just got back from seeing the third installment to the Harry Potter series of movies...

THis is only my opinion...but the less said...the better...

Ok its been sometime since ive seen anyone post a "guess that song" thing so here is a chorus I want you all to have a guess at.

"Into the flood again, same ol' trip it was back then, so I made a big mistake, try to see it once my waaaaay"

Not alot of song I know but the chorus is very catchy, definitly the most memorable parrt.

good luck

lol Joe when you were just starting out on the guitar how often did you get told to keep it down? lol
