Can anyone tell me what the Piezo Bridge option is that some of the MusicMan guitars offer..like the Petrucci signature and the Luke Signature. Thanks.

Ethn: Chopin is da man! Such a joy to listen to and play. To me he is like Satch or Vai...he utilizes technique to make beautiful music. If you are still looking for an amp, try out the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. It is the first tube amp that I really like. All I did to it was to swap the speaker for a Vintage 30 and swapped the tubes for JJ tubes. This thing sounds very very nice. It sounds very good with ds1's or other pedals, and the clean channel over drives in a very warm manner. I recorded a U2 type part the other day where I had the amp up to 9 out of 12 (luckily I was recording direct, so I can still have children hah!) and it had this great smooth overdrive. Basically this amp is great if you want tone in a small package. Also, this amp has tons of bass end, so it doesn't sound anemic outdoors or on tile floors. Don't buy into the hype of modelling....I had a podpro rig, and now (with a speaker simulator) this amp and my pedals are my session rig, and I can get a much better and brauder range of tones. I should mention that after only about $200 (making a grand total of $800 with the amp) worth of mods this amp sounded vastly better than a Marshall TSL60 that a friend had, which was at least $1000. The fender and the ds1 sounded sooooo fat next to the Marshall's crappy phony distortion, and the marshall's clean sounded like plugging into a mixer...uggggg!

Hi everyone...I'm back at school now. My room is still a huge mess...I need to finish unpacking. ;-)
My internet connection is working, but I can't sign on to AOL through my school's network anymore. I don't know if that's AOL's fault or my school's fault...bah!
trutina - Welcome back! :-)
JS JP 41 - The Eight Steps and Slick were both recorded during the SBM sessions.
The G3 live albums that you mentioned are being released in addition to Joe's upcoming studio album.
Aaron Hoey - If they gave you the wrong book, it's their mistake and they should take it back. If not, just buy that album from a record store.
Metal Head03 - I think Joe's new studio album will be out around April.
...Austin...

well JS JP 41, i hope that was just sarcastic jealousy - if so, sorry - if not, right back atcha then bro.
i'm just curious why nobody is talking about this upcoming show - it's a HUGE event to say the least! perhaps not many people know about it yet - or everybody knew except me and it's old news - or getting there is impossible - or nobody cares? whatever the case, i thought for sure the general convo would focus on it for at least an hour...
joe - give us some details whenever you can bro - i'm dying here!! =)

Hey all, some more snippets of my interview with joe!!!
Interview with Joe Satriani March 25, 1998
Describe the creative process of being an instrumental composer and performer.
“Well this particular record was unique in how we got started for two reasons. I didn’t make demos number one and number two, I played the songs for the guys on a guitar in a rehearsal space, I just played and we talked about it. And then we rehearsed the record live like we could have played it as a live show. That had a profound difference cause on the other records I gave people very detailed demos and right from the beginning they felt they perhaps had to copy something I had already laid down and we did a lot of overdubbing of peoples performances piece by piece. This one was done more in the spirit of experimentation. But the inspirations for songs come from everyday life.”
Z.Z. your son inspired one song and is credited on three songs on Crystal Planet. The three songs all have percussive intros, what was his input, how old is he and what is the origin of his name?
“That’s quite a coincidence actually. Just a coincidence. There are funny coincidences on the record. Someone said to me it’s really cool that track five and track ten were both in 5/4 and 10/8 time, it was purely by coincidence. They thought it was some master plan. Z.Z., he comes up with some funny things as children always do. Interesting statements that are improvised in the funniest of situations but wound up sounding very profound to a grownup. He’s five and a half now, but ‘Psycho Monkey’ was something he came up with two or three years ago waking up in the middle of the afternoon after a bad dream and I was working on a song at the time so it was a coincidence of things. ‘A Piece of Liquid’ was something he just said trying to describe his level of thirst. And then one day we were looking at clouds and I was teaching him the names of the different kinds of clouds cumulus, nimbus, stratus and then he just said well daddy look at that those clouds they look like a ‘Train of Angels’ and I thought it was really beautiful so that’s how he contributed to the songs. ‘Z.Z.’s Song’ was actually something I had written when my wife was pregnant with him and we used to plug in with this little amp and some headphones and put the headphones on my wife’s stomach. It was a song we used to use to calm him down to stop kicking. His name stands for Zachariah Zane, a loose translation means God has remembered John which is my fathers name and that’s how we arrived at that.”

Zonin - Man I'm sure the show will rock! I'd really love to go... but it's a location problem. You enjoy the show, it'll be a once in a lifetime concert! Cool MG cover too...
Mowlie - lol dude... Prague won't see it coming! Or the pubs at least...
JS JP 41 - wow is right, lol... that's ok dude. Machine Gun is a Jimi Hendrix tune.
Edit... zonin again... don't worry I'm a JH freak too. My favorites by him are Little Wing, Voodoo Chile (slight return), Hey Joe, All Along the Watchtower... the list goes on.
Mikesb - Cool little interview man!
