This is probably a stupid question that is always asked, but if you see this Joe, how can I get better on my guitar? I know basic stuff, basic lead and rythym and all, but I just dont know where to go from here. I listen to your stuff and it is just amazing, I just wanna be able to play really really good. Thanks man -Brandon

Clarky: that's cool man, I comprende all that, but my question is what is the difference between G and Em keys if it's all the same? How does it make anything different? Does the fact that you play a different note or chord first change it much? (Or am I missing something obvious!)
Akreepish: all minors sound depressing and Dm is the Big Mama Saddy. But I'll leave it to someone else to explain why!!!
Pete: yeah, most of my friends are guitarists or general musicians.
Dave Mc: interesting idea!!! Hmmm...
Zaximus/R6Rocker: Okay, but it still doesn't make grammatical sense. Should it be "I have become Death" or "I am becoming Death" or "I am being Death" or "I am Death"?

Brandon: apart from the p word, if you know theory (this is a rather large part of it), and you know the notes on the guitar, and you know scales and stuff, and you've developed speed, and you listen to a lot of diverse styles, and you watch a lot of other players, I don't really have any advice at all.
Sorry that I couldn't help you...Ben ;)

Hi! My husband JUST finished an instrumental rock CD with, Chris Kent (from Larry Carlton's band) on bass & Pat McDonald (from the Charlie Daniel's Band) on drums. It has eleven GREAT songs on it. He has top notch equipment from custom Bob Bradshaw pieces to a custom Gibson SG, doubleneck SG, Ibanez 10th Anniversary, Fender Strat, Les Paul '57 reissue, Ernie Ball Musicman Van Halen. He plays through an: Eventide H3000, Rocktron, Jam Man, PCM80, G-Force, Fireworx, Legacy heads & amps, etc,... He got a thumbs up from a producer with known record label, but claims their company in financial problems at the moment - as many others are too these days. He has had great feedback also from, Rick Derringer, guitarist from, Firehouse and other musicians here in, Nashville. It is way too country here to promote rock and looking ahead. His work is of influences of you, (of course), Vai, Morse, Page, Malmsteen, Van Halen, Marino, Johnson... He has the look, the desire, the equipment, his passport, trailer, business sense to do well. He sent his press kit to, Steve's label, Favored Nations & waiting the ENDLESS months - feel he looks too country in hat & boots to REALLY give it a listen. He BELONGS with, Favored Nations!! Managers won't listen to UNsolicited material & known labels won't listen to you without a manager they're affliated with = a CATCH 22! VERY FRUSTRATING! He wanted to go to the last Namm show, but was our little girl's birthday & had work - so another year gone by. I noticed you mentioned, you went there early in your careeer & offered gear/good exposure. My husband's name is, Harry Brett and the CD is titled, "First Flight." He is so easy going, creative & not into any drugs or drinking. I would LOVE for him to finally shine - he deserves the spotlight! He has such a unique style to appreciate. I have been up ALL hours while he travels to FL 2 weeks a month TRYING to locate all ROCK stations World-Wide to send a copy to air & TRYING to get a website together for people to look into. We spent a lot thousands on his project (he did it in 1 1/2 days doing almost almost every song in just 1 take!) - word got around fast on that!! ONLY regret were having no mic preamps, as the bill was adding up quick & it's not mastered, BUT, it still ROCKS!! Where to go from here?? After all his years put in & money invested, he wants to make it happen SO badly! He needs exposure, but keep hearing horrer stories about contracts & managers. Should he be his own agent & just have an attorney?? He has access to Firehouse's attorney. He's great with people, but can't be everywhere doing everything - as you know too. Pat & Chris have contracts & touring, so he's also auditioning others to fill in. I hoped when he signs with a label, they would have musician connections, as I hear guitarists have other musicians fill in. You know the pace, a musician has to have it together, the equipment, desire, & the stamina to hang in there for the whole show & touring. I was THRILLED to get this oppurtunity to write & think you MIGHT read it and answer! I couldn't wait for the approval with password to get to your site! I wrote & got a response back from, Frank Marino (Mahogany Rush) and it was great! Harry's email address is: harrybrett@comcast.net ANY advice to him at all or chat would be INCREDIBLY appreciated! - IF possible. I know, Larry Carleton is signed with Steve & the engineer on Harry's CD. The engineer also worked on Eric Johnson's last project (& he too is with, Favored Nations). We'd LOVE to send you a copy - if we knew where to send it to! (?) *Keep up the enchanting notes ! You talented instrumentalists need to stick together! Not many people have the patience to learn the old school ways anymore. Thanks for reading this! Sincerely, a guitar player's wife

copper - You obviously spent a lot of time to type that out so you obviously want Joe to hear it. This is not the place to post it for Joe to find it direct. Even if he was here at the moment (he's in Japan now), may may overlook such a monstrous post (or maybe not).
I guess the trick would be to contact other people around Joe whether it's around the website or anywhere else if you really really want Joe to hear it. Finding them could be difficult.

I would have been if I'd had a lefthanded guitar...however when it's not yours you don't restring it! It's hard to find anything built for left handers these days. I learned to use most things that aren't directly transferrable to left hand with my right. I consider myself a lefty even though my right arm is stronger...not ambidextrous, but left or right handed.

I started playing my brother's strat copy upside down (still strung right handed). I found power chord were easier played over the top of the neck LOL. Eventually I got my own, but I was so used to the balance of a righty I've played them ever since, although nowadays I get (right handed) bodies from stores like Warmoth and cut a little away so I can reach the top frets - my fingers certainly aren't as long as Jimi's :-) I have one left handed guitar and it feels out of balance to me :-/ the rest feel just fine, although I never named any of them

Dear Mr. Satriani,
I am a big fan of yours, and I would really like to come to your show at the Commodore in Vancouver this upcoming Nov.24 but I cannot as I am only 17. I am a guitar player and I love your style and I try and play like you as much as I can. Is there anyway I could come to the Commodore if I was with an adult (i.e. my dad)? I would not like to pass up this opportunity to see you perform live.
Sincerely yours,
Spencer Bresnick

Of course all minors are "sad," but D being the saddest, hmmm...
Anyway, that's cool Clarky, but I'm counting on you if no one else chimes in!

death cube k: true, it says it's there, but when you phone em up they say it's not..i didn't stick around to find out an exact date of when it's arriving, but it should be within a week or 2...when i ordered it, they forecasted about a month wait, so with a month closing in, it should be here shortly.
by chance, is anyone saving clarky's theory lessons to a txt file? if so, lemme know so i can get it :) I decided today i should get all the theory i can

FOR ADUN - Grammatically speaking 'I not know' - lol
I do believe that Eb minor is the saddest of all keys, but that's not for the 'lazy' guitarist mentality ;-) I think that CLARKY should have the answer to this as it's going to be classically based

Hi joe. Just wanted to say i'm a huge fan of yours. You rock! Love your DVD! The most awesome DVD i own. I recently got your new album "Strange beautiful music." Its really really amazing! Awesome stuff!!! It's extremely creative and fresh! I love it. It really takes your musical writting to another level. Very well balanced as well. I love the breaks in the songs and the change in tunes. What I love about the song "Starry Night," is that you never like repeat a verse. It like flows into different tunes and ends of. Really Really beautiful! And the last song "You saved my life," it sounds as if the guitar is singing the words "You saved my life." Was that your intention. Were you inspired by All around the watch tower (jimmy hendrix's version) for any of the songs? Anyway, thanks for the great music. Ever think of performing in South Africa? I would love to see you here, but not sure whether you'll get a huge crowd. Thanks again!

Oh my, oh my oh my, oh my............ ;-)
I received my two new JS-albums in the mail today (Crystal Planet and Flying in A Blue Dream) and I just can't wait to hear them!!!!!!!!! I'll be back with reviews as soon as possible... What is your favorite tune from CP and FIABD???
Man, I'm getting really jealous I'm not a guitar player when I see all the fun you have here, with Clarky giving out lessons and all.... :) Never to late to learn, I guess, but I'm just too lazy. I think I'll stick to my pool cue and just be satisfied with knowing I can play that baby pretty well. LOL And I'll never ever stop listening Joe and his likes, of course! HEY JOE, how about a Scandinavian tour soon, eh?!?! It's about time! ;)
