Satriella - Cool. Clarky and I are going to be in the pub befor hand (because that's what Clarky and I do best... lol), so it'd be great to gather the troops and all meet in there for an hour or two beforehand.

Clarky - Pretty much, yeah. He's a very diferent style of player from those two though; very much a jazz/fusion/funk kinda player. If you get the latest T2J CD you hear him playing on my track.

Suzie - You're right, but obstructing people's views isn't very nice either, in my book... lol

HI Joe looking forward to the show in florida lake buena vista on April the 21st. I'M coming all the way from Wales U K and also enjoying a holiday at the same time so it will be fantastic. See you soon

everyone - looks like those uk tour dates got leaked out before they were supposed to (as i warned sometimes happens). they are confirmed dates and i'm waiting for further clarification as to whether there will be premium tickets for those shows and who (if anyone) is opening.

the podcast - yes, it (finally) went up late friday since i was in rehearsal with joe and the band all day. to make up for my tardiness (won't you please forgive me?) i offer you two things:

1) a brand new web greeting (on the home page)

2) exclusive photo gallery from rehearsal!

Hello all!!

Beautiful day in Slovenia!! Just perfect for playing guitar!!!:d

Jon/ webmaster.. just when i was just gonna stick up for ya.. there all podcast junkies... cant say i blam em though... sure would be nice if i could check em out .. again ..sucks to be me:( MT

Cheers Webmaster!!!! Good to hear I haven't bought tickets for some random, non-existent, elaborate Satch hoax... lmao

Come on Joe, give us a CD of your interpretations of TV and Movie theme scores, you know you want to... ; )

962: Yo dude, thanks for the thorough review of Mourning Windows, I will definately get both!!.... I know I've told you that before, but there is a used cd shop I know where to get both of them, and I think it was the album covers that threw me off originally, lol!....

I hear ya when you say nobody but Nuno could write music in the same way, lol man, he is just full of surprises, and is a monster funk man when he wants to be!!....

BTW, you know me and a few peeps here (like mikesb, alexandre and a few others) know Nuno is da shiznit!! :-)

Jon Luini, you never cease to amaze me!!.... Thanks for all things Joe!! :-)

PhryDom, you rock, 'cause I hadn't been able to find those EasterEggs... I have to write down your instructions. Thanks!!!

Have you been to www.neilpeart.net? Some really interesting reading there...

--------------------------------------------

I've been reading the commentary regarding Nuno's two albums, and I must admit, I'm curious. I think I'll try to hunt those down.

Great to see other hard core RUSH fans here. I love RUSH, thanks for the easter egg instructions. Neil Peart is a big traveller and loves to go to National Parks. I was in Sanfrancisco a couple of years ago and visited the Maritime Museum. There was an artist who had a photo display of large ships. His work had a lot of close ups etc. I could swear I saw the R30 dvd cover photo as one of his pieces, but I don't see a photo credit in the liner notes. Any Idea where the cover art for the r30 dvd came from?

Joe Satriani

Hey ppl!!!

alright now im sick of a few things!

1.) I dont know what the @$%^ has happened to my left hand finger tips over the time!!!! They're hard and whats worst is they appear badly damaged! Cracks, callus and greyish colour ... theyre all making my sick and the tips are a bit painful too.

i really dunno how i ignored them in the first place but the thing is i cant stop playing the guitar its next to something called "IMPOSSIBLE"

So guys ....and (maybe if there r any on this site) gals please do ur best and help me out i want to get rid of all this crap skin and get normal skin on top and maybe when the cracks and stuff r gone .ie the skin is healed.... i wanna harden them with nice callus which helps my playing...but first on is this is awfully sick skin on the finger tips of my damn left hand.

2.) i wanted some tips for producing harmonics artificial i.e. and some tips on tapping .... ahem... maybe simple ones like the always with me in the later half (...sorry Joe its not that simple ...coz i cant do it accurately.... most importantly its really melodious ...so peace)!!!! the tapping sound is not very clearly audible when i play it so help me out there too...

thanks guys u r all the best coz u r members of the website of best guitarist in the world ...peace!
