Anyone here use protools free?
it's the free 8-track version of protools.
I just downloaded the win98/ME version from the protools website, but I hope to run it on Win XP.

Hi everyone!
Suzie2000, here is the link: Joe, Rubina and ZZ:
http://www.satriani.com/2000/road/2000-08-10/foto8.jpg
Stevee T, estrela, hola, the original name of the Spicy Spanish Sausage I was referring to is "chistorra",
it's a very characteristic spicy red sausage, usually prepared grilled with red peppers and a touch of pepper, and served with a drink before lunch or in the afternoon. It's a hot "tapa" (snack)! It goes well with other meals too, one of the best it's with rice and vegetables. It's a type of "chorizo" but more spicy and I think it's more delicious, try it if you like
:-)
estrela, glad to see you! sorry to hear you were a bit sad, I'm sure you'll find the joyful path soon. You sound a very passionate woman and life is passion!
Anyway I want to respond you to some of your questions I have pending, I've been out the weekend. I hope to put a smile on your face with these thingies :-)
I'm not sure about the origin of "chorizo" but I always thought it was Spanish, from Catalonia, not Portuguese ¿¿??
let's leave it as Iberian :-) and I want to try that Calabrezza!
About those Brazilian musicians you mentioned, I know Chico Buarque and Carlinhos Brown only by name, I'm not very much into vocal music, but I've listened to Caetano Veloso, that distinct soft voice... Right now I remember a nice version of the famous bolero "Contigo en la distancia" and "The Girl from Ipanema".
After Nando Lauria, the other Brazilian musician I love is Torcuato Mariano, he was born in Argentina, but he moved to Brazil being a child, so he is Brazilian in adoption, great guitarist, a real hybrid between Jeff Beck, Toninho Horta and Pat Metheny, an explosive fusion! And enjoy the Carnival, I wish I could be there :-)
Steven Wilde, hi! I've heard you are a bit down, I hope you feel better today. Be sure that all the good vibes you send daily will come back to you with more strength. And I want point out mikesb's advice, the best antidote to depressed moments is to have no time to think, that's a great truth that we all know but sometimes we don't want to see or forget. So be focused in the artistic creation, it's the best outlet, then when you feel better, you can't believe what you have created. I have an artistic temperament too, I'll tell you someday. Believe in the wonderful and unique person you are, the world need more Steven Wilde! About if I play guitar, well... I have two guitars, I play a little, I'll tell you later :-) And extra pile of good vibes to you, see you soon, and please Steven, never think about drinking :-(
962, hi, about past and current musical likings, yes it's something that in some way or other happen to musicians and music enthusiasts, it's ages since I listened to many favorite bands. I'm curious to Nuno Bettencourt, the last album I've heard of him was Schizophonic, do you know if he has released something instrumental?
bahduh, hi! how are things? I'll reply to your mail very soon, all the best
Twisted Nipple, I love Strange Beautiful Music!
michelle, sorry to hear about your stepdad, my best wishes
It's really important to have a yearly check-up. Diabetes is a silent illness, there are lots of people who have it and still
don't know it :-(
marimariSRV, it sounds like you had a blast at NAMM! thanks for sharing all these stories :-)
civgeek, happy 500!

Lucy / Estrela- thankyou! :-)
Estrela by the way, if you want to post direct links that come up in blue font, I finally mastered it after many tries to get it right!
You type (make sure it's square brackets) [ link] except don't leave any gaps!
then without any gaps the web address e.g.
http://www.satriani.com
then [ /link] but don't leave gaps!!!
and it should work I hope!
I had to type it out in this dopey way otherwise www.satriani.com would just have come up as a link... actually I will just test it to make sure I'm not talking crap!!! Here goes... (using the above method...)
http://www.satriani.com
Will it work...?

LucySorets! hola! "chistorra" ! we could never guess! About chourizo i'm not sure, but i saw in a restaurant "chourizo, that delicious portuguese sausage" ! lol , "blush"... anyway.. prove Calabrezza! it is really delicious and spicy ! here we have pizza of calabrezza ! Actually i love pasta ! lazanha!! :-)
Yes, i've been kind a worried, and Mikesb gave us a very good example of life, we have to keep on, always expecting for better things, "better place", positive thoughts, good vibes, we can not permit sadness in our hearts, life goes on!! and you are right about me, i'm very enthusiastic and passionate person, i'm just facing a little problem that is really annoying me, but I know that everything will be fine soon! Joe's songs makes me feel better! This site and people like you are being great ! Thanks! lol ! You have a very good taste for music ! :-)

Yesterday by the way I watched 2 films in a row which proceeded to give me bad dreams: The Village followed by Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (Uncut).
I liked "The Village" and didn't think it was scary but that horrible red costume kept coming into my mind just as I was dropping off, it kind of reminded me of that scary "sandman" character that freaked me out as a child... Does anyone else remember that? My dad used to say to me (if I didn't go to sleep) the sandman would come and get me... I think I took it a bit too seriously though!!!
Time to put on a Disney film now I think!!!

First of all...
Click me
First of all I have been looking for that model Ibanez for nearly a year (as well as the 7620) and have had limited luck. I have just under £200 and saw the opportunity to buy this guitar but wanted to make sure it was ok with my parents seeing as its a large amount of money to exchange over the net. Anywayz my Mom said "Yeah sure, its your money you can do whatever you want with it."...HOWEVER my Dad said "What do you want another guitar for? You can't even play the ones you've got, it'd be a waste of money and time. If you buy it then how are you going to pay for driving lessons? I'm not going to pay for them for you. I'd advise you to leave it and spend your money on something worthwhile."...
...yeah, I'd be lying if I said that didn't hurt a shit load, not too bothered about the guitar, just the "...you can't even play the ones you've got...it'd be a waste of money and time"...etc...
So by implication I have been wasting my time for the past two years.

MR NICK:
Sound like your situation is simular to mine. I have a kid who wants to play guitar, doesn't have a guitar, and I don't have an extra to give him. I had my first lesson with him saturday and went over string names, fret markings, proper holding technique, and small finger excersize(sp?) to build up muscles in his fingers, and dependency in each seperate finger. Someone did say teach them a song they that's easy to play, I apologize for not giving proper credit to the individual i just can't remember who it was, that works wonders, it does help build confidence in them selves. I've found teaching some music theory to them works too, such as how to read music and how chords are formed, but it only worked with people who were around 16-18. PS I'm not a teacher so I really don't know if I'm helping much, but I did want to try. It is a hard position to be in for the first time.

ibanezfox..yeah..except i have a 2nd guitar..i would of thought theory would put kids off...so just stick with chords, and songs they know to build up confidence and knowledge of chords and how to play rythmn. and also tunings and restringing. the basics of guitar to get you anywhere...then work on that..depends on how well they're doing.

Defino - Don't sweat it Homez. Just use that as motivation. When your tired of practicing, think of that or put a note in front of you and use the anger in a positive fashion. Most of all, don't let it break you down.

Delfino Hey man, I just read the problem you had with your father comments; I've been in that situation, people say get serius, get a real job, don't be a dreamer, and all that shit... But with time I learned that nobody it´s gonna feel the music the way I do, and you can't ask to your family or friends to understand tha way you feel the music, because they can't feel it the same way... so I ended here posting with other musicians, and now I know there are other peoples like me that dream and live on music... so man...KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD.
You have all the guys of this community with you

Mr Nick, cool, i'm 12 quid for an hour! hehe, about the same....
No I wouldn't go lending him a guitar for practicing on. If he gets on okay, his parents can buy him a guitar, that's not your problem! Just my opinion though!
juju, thanks, my computer problems are in the process of being straightened out! It's just a case of waiting now, which I can't stand! hehe. have yor computer/phone problems sorted themselves out? Hope so!
Clarky, as the Spanish-speaking say in Holland? hehe
Speaking of Holland, let me know if you're going to The Aching Hunger Part II this summer! I think it's on June 2nd.
civgeek, haha, thanks for posting that news report! I was actually totally unaware of the new immigration policy passed the other day! It's all a bunch of crap, regardless of what it says. All government policies suck! The immigration thing is particularly entertaining, when you consider the number of british people who were born in this country after their parents moved here. but they were born here, so somehow that's different?!? if they are allowed to stay, then others should be allowed to join them. We need the immigrant workers anyway....they're the only ones who actually do anything, even if they do get paid half-minimum-wage for it. God I am so fed up of living in this sh*thole. Any fine young brazillian lasses need a housemate? :-D
AngieRead, so, are you wondering who that lady is in that photo you linked to?
LucySorets, no I don't think Nuno would ever do an instrumental album. however, after his solo record, Schizophonic, he recorded two amazing, mind0numbingly brilliant records under the "Mourning Widows" band title. It was him, his nephew, Donovan, and Jeff Consi....i think it was Jeff.....anyway, "Mourning Widows - Self Titled" and "Mourning Widows - Furnished Souls For Rent" are two of the best CD's in my collection. Up there with EJ's Venus Isle, Joe's FIABD and Vai's Fire Garden. The overall sound is perfectly ballanced, the lyrics are awesome, the tones are amazing, and Nuno's singing, not to mention arranging, is the best it's ever been. There's some amazing guitar solos in it, and some of the best rhythm guitar playing you'll hear, the sort that puts me off listening to Jon Petrucci.
haha, you'd think Nuno was paying me to say all that, but no! Also, his newest venture is "Population 1" who currently only have one record out. I have it on order but it's taking it's time. I can't wait to hear it though!
Delfino, argue with your dad, get annoyed with him, make a big scene and don't worry if it effects everyone around you....it will show your dad how serious music actually is to you, and he may start to understand that he's wrong, cause it was his fault that you fell out. Sounds like a pretty stupid suggestion, I know, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't work.
