The reason why i aksed about you could get lessons from Satch is because he has been a such succesfull teacher!

He teached Steve Vai and Kirk Hammet and more. But Steve Vai and Kirk Hammet is two of the worlds best guitarists!!

So he must be a good teacher!!!

I just waned to know if he still teach people (Give lessons to people)

PS: I dont want lessons because i want to sound like Satch but because i want be just as good!!

I have made a few songs myself and i have only been playing since december. Alot of people tells me that im really talented!

But thank you all for answering me!

chadley, she got it from the SatchZone lesson at workshop live....I posted the link yesterday to it, and if you put in the codeword of boogie, you can see the whole first lesson for free. After that, u gotta pay, but from what I can see, if someone wants to really learn stuff and especially learn it from Joe, it's well worth the small fee per month. :)

chadley, I'm standing here looking at Joe's pedal board. I'm on tour with the band. I had the day off and figgered what the hell, might as well fly out to Milan and hang out. So yeah, that's how I know the pedal set-up.

;-)

Austin, it IS a nice title. I'll let you write me a song with it. lol! As for PB, stop wasting yer words. He doesn't read anything anyway. It must be the drugs? lol!

Hey, MY link worked! lmao!!!

Don't be a hater. LOL!!!

You should know silly questions get silly answers my lil' Canadian poof.

HI all, just sitting here taking a little break and eating a piece of frozen banana split pie.

I've been studying all afternoon for my 1st final since 1992 in Earth Science. There was a reason It didn't interest me when I was in high school and that was the teacher, he was an old school old man, who would stand front and center and play marble hockey with his hands in his pockets.

This was a 12-week course in Plate tectonics, Glaciers, Sand dunes adn deserts, Groundwater and finishing off with Geologic time, I get it, it's just alot of info. Then I get a few days off, of no homework and I start backup next Thursday.

Heeeeyyy, Joe...

What's up with Stu gettin booed? This is the second time I've noticed the mixed cheer/boo: the most recent on The tour podcast 5 and the first on the first G3 dvd (w vai and ej). What the hell?

Other than his short shorts and shiny glam shirts on past tours, I don't understand the reasoning behind the jeers. I don't mean to bring up a touchy subject, but it's kinda obvious now having been released on film twice now.

Boos and Stu????

I am afraid it is his shirts.... He got a good deal a number of years back at a Magnum PI soundstage auction

Do The Stu: if that advice to Purple Bear works I'll eat my Satch hat! :D

RyTunes: It's not Boo it's Brew! Stu has a home brew kit and has been known to share some of the resultant nectar with the audience - but only if they B-R-E-W him loudly enough!

Brewed Stu. lmao! That's funny.

Talk about a strange brew...

lol!

They could also be "Bluuuues"ing Stu because they love when he plays the blues - after they drink his brew of course :-)

Bartender, I'll have what she's having, tankubettymush!

Hi Satch, I have been in Villa Manin (Italy) on 10th June... Such a Gig!!! You rock! I have seen you twice, one in 1996 and the other three days ago...you are like good wine...older = better! Happy birthday and have a great Tour.

Apart from me, joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen and Guthrie Govan....anyone else going to the London guitar Show on Saturday?

JOE & PAUL GIGS

I set off early in the Saturday morning to meet Maximagnet at Kings X station. I have driven to Epping at least 20 times in the last year, so you would think I would know how to get there wouldn't you....

wrong!

Missed the turning and ended up gong down a never ending motorway, thinking....'Oh bum!' to myself....I finally found an exit and wondered what on earth to do...but there in front of me was an underground station....'YAY ....that will do!' I thought....A local taxi driver told me where to park...just over the road...free...so that was cool and even cooler the pub opposite the station was called 'The Red House'....Paul does an absolutely stonking, amazing version of that.

we had a day wandering in London, trying to find a python for Paul and suitable Jimi Hendrix cards, then back to the car to go to the Harlow travel-lodge ready to set off for Bournemouth on the Sunday.

A note about travel-lodges....having stayed at 4 in a row...they are all kitted out exactly the same....so it can be quite freaky...you travel for hundreds of miles and it seems like you ended up back where you started when you walk in the room!

Anyway...Motorway...motorway...arrive at Bournemouth...take a wrong turn but soon find the travel-lodge. Decide to walk to the venue to see how long it takes...this was about 1 in the afternoon, I think, anyway we are checking out the tour buses when this guy comes out and Maxi says...'That's Mike manning...joes guitar tech!'

So I wander over and ask him and sure enough it is....he is having a fag break although he said that he had three more boxes then he was giving up....I asked if I could have a photo with him...he grumpily said 'Why?'

so I said 'coz you are with my main man Joe!'.....'oh...OK then!' he said

Anyway....we came back around 4 and hung at the stage door.....i was starting to get bored after a while but Maxi insisted we stay and so i went and sat on a forklift truck out of the sun...then this white transit van pulled up and out got Emi, Jeff, Mike and of course Paul Gilbert....I spoke to the crew as they passed while PG was with some fans further away, then I called him over as he headed to the door, we took pictures with him and i had a lil chat, oh and he signed my copy of Silence followed by a deafening roar!

Back at the venue, we got some merchandise...Jeff Campetelli was wandering around, so had a chat with him. Maxi went back to the travel-lodge with the merch as he didn't have a ticket for the gig and I went in.

i was over the right hand side but only a few rows back with the aisle in front of me so plenty of room. Paul was fantastic, mostly stuff from the new album but lots of older stuff too, playing the guitar with a violin bow was cool and of course Paul and Mike did the drill piece together....wow....it was just real annoying that nobody moved an inch and i was almost locked up for jumping and dancing around so much.

Great way to start with I just Wanna Rock....I was really pleased that there was a good light show this time....two years ago it was literally just a light on Joe and that was it, but this time, lights, videos and everything!....not that you take your eyes off of joes amazing playing very much...but it was cool.....

and yet still the people didn't move an inch.....fantastic setlist...stu hamm did his solo in the middle, which everyone liked...he is a groovy little mover lol...Joe did a good variety of old and new and it went on for ages....this gig was well worth twice the money paid....FANASTIC....as soon as they all went off I shot down to the front for the crowd chant that i knew would be coming...but for some reason I looked back, I dont know but there was Maxi....it turned out that he had come back to sit in the foyet just to listen and managed to buy a ticket from some guy half way through..and sure enough three encores!

Outside I heard this little voice say "is that you sandy", yes I said.....turned out to be a random joe fan that I had met two years previous in London!

next day we went for a walk along the sea front....I do wonder if Stu was filming Joe as we were walking past (google stu hamm, wembley...he did a little video) we got some chips, then back to the car and set off for Cardiff....not such an easy drive this time as it wasn't motorways, but some lovely views....the bridge into wales was very cool too.

Again Maxi didn't have a ticket for this gig, but i received a text to say to go to the box office....and YAY! Dear old Galen had left a ticket there for him....not only that...to his surprise a backstage pass too....I said it was fine and I would wait around, but he checked five minutes later....as you do...in disbelief....and lo....shepherds came from the east...er...no...sorry....there were 2 passes YAY!!!!

Anyway with much phone calling we met up with Carlos and NJBeast and girlfriend and went for a drink down the road, then headed back for the gig!....I have to say its a Cardiff City Hall is a great venue...the seats are massive, really comfy and even the tallest guy in front of you couldn't get in the way....but yet again....not a muscle was moved by people...grrrr sometimes i hate british people....I tell you something though....if you get the chance to do more than one gig do it.....its so great!!!! Little differences in what is said and how things are played.....i couldn't name all the tracks coz i am rubbish at that...but it wow such a great show...again wazzed down the front for the encores and again met up with Joe Satrini and John Sylv and Wendy at half time.

anyway after the gig we were ushered through a door and up to a room, i suppose there were about 15 of us but time was ticking....john came in and said that joe didn't have much time....getting locked in the car park at midnight was constantly in the back of my mind....it was now 11.20....finally joe arrived but would you believe it started talking to those furthest away...aaaaaaaaaagh.....I pleaded with NJBeast who was before us if we could go first.....he agreed...the sweety that he is.

Anyway ...er hopefully he read the card later...but i then gave him the bag for jeff...another card and a chicken hat with big long legs that hang down like pigtails and the bag for Paul Gilbert again with a card and with a MIlky Way, a jar of coffee, a bag of pretzels, a bag of snack-a-jack's...with the sn changed to cr and a big fluffy snke from Hamleys with a knot in it hehe....for those of you who dont know Paul Gilbert very well, check out the lyrics to Individually twisted and my gifts will all make sense!

We waited for John and co and made our way back to the car park...after getting lost backstage hehe...a bit of a spinal tap moment...oh I had some stuff in the car for him...they left and we proceeded to try to leave at about 11.55....aaaaaaaaaagh machine wouldn't take my money...so i pressed for help...clearly the lady at the other end was ready to go home and annoyed that i had called her...I wont go into all that happed but we got out of the car park literally with seconds to spare!

ok onward to er inkborough I think it was called on the very left hand side of London, quiet little place, but we got on the train with a reasonable amount of time to go...we had to be at Hammersmith at 4.45....so we get about 7 stations down the track, then realized we had left something in the car...the camera I think, so back we went.

We were given the rules and then hurded (50 of us) into the smallest bar room you have ever seen, yes JUST and I stress JUST enough room for 55 people to squeeze in shoulder to shoulder. Joe came in after about 5 minutes....he answered questions, with very long and lovely answers....oh we all got handed a pic and a big satchifunkilus picture before that....I braved a hand and said that it had really annoyed me that people were so stiff at Bournemouth and Cardiff and how did he feel about it....er.....I have no idea what he said, it was a long answer but i was to busy staring into his eyes...no basically he said there are certain protecals to follow...and when he answered someone elses question about filming he referred back to my question saying that they had two choices to film the gig...London or Paris but knowing what the British are like as in crap crowds...er...no Joe didn't put it like that...they opted for Paris, but he said that if they had picked London then he would have been very nervous tonight after the Bournemouth and Cardiff crowd. After the questions everyone got a turn to have a bit of personal time with Joe and a photo...we hung till virtually the end. Maximagnet went first....I had taken all the pictures I had drawn of Joe, Steve and Paul....now this is frustrating....coz I really wanted to know which one Joe liked best, so I said to him to have a quick flick through and sign his favourite, but after he had gone through most of the ones of him, he said 'which one is your favourite?' so I told him it was the one of him and Steve with the guitar in the middle. So he said 'well I will sign that one and you can take it to Steve and he can sign it too' (cough cough...yeah Joe, he only lives around the corner I will pop round later) At this point joe was super duper sweet...he took the picture out and stood with the pen poised over the picture, not moving...i wispered 'its Joe Satriani...thats your name' and laughed....'I know' he said nervously 'its just that its a piece of art and I dont want to ruin it!' aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww come on even you guys have say awwww at that LOL...anyway Mick and John were now hurrying him so he didn't have time to look at the rest....as we went out Maxi turned back to Joe and thanked him because if it hadn't been for Talk to Joe he wouldn't have met me....awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww again.

I got my camera poised to take a photo once the lights went up, but as soon as Stu had finished the others came hurtling on and the chicken was whipped off in seconds so I didn't get a picture....but I was just sooooo delighted to see it there...I would like to think it was Jeff's way of saying thanks!

They all certainly played with extra zeal at hammersmith,....oh just remembered this guy two seats up from him, now I dont understand this at all, I mean, why he bothered, he said to me before the show that he had come more to see Paul than Joe, he was a real PG fan, he explained that he had to go home early coz of work at this point too, well, Paul had done about 4 of about 12-15 songs, sorry i was just digging it not counting it, but the guy goes out, OK, you would think to the loo or something, but no, he didn't come back until the break, then he chatted, annoyingly non-stop to me in the break, and then went, well, it wasn't even half way through joes set! ?????? What??????

Anyway, Oh yeah, AWMAWY started off as usual, but then was changed so much, WOW, AWWWWWSUM I tell you, I cried it was just so amazing...oh oh and when Joe played Ghosts, beforehand he would say that he kinda thought that if you could have your own peronal ghost, it would be cool if he was a cool guitar shredder, but at hammersmith he said that he would like to think that his personal ghost whould play guitar like Paul Gilbert....which I thought was the sweetest thing to say, and gives me real hope that he will have Paul supporting him again next time! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

OH MY WORD .....then the most awful thing happened, it all ended....noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well except for one little thing, we were given flyers outside for Paul Gilbert.....

Next day it was off to the Astoria to get a ticket to see Paul Again in November.....YAY!!!! Cant wait for that coz its real up close and personal in there, will be queueing from 4pm again to get front row again if I can!
