I know somebody mentioned it, but here's the video - Don't remember if it was posted.

Tallan Noble Latz

America's Got Talent 2009

9 year old blues guitar player lists JOE SATRIANI as one of his influences.

How cool is that kid!

okay, INSPIRATION, not influence.

Sweet sound.......Sultan's of Swing has a cool vibe to it. Nice change from using a pic. Well played ;-)

I thought that video was pretty cool, although the segment of the show was horribly edited. It was awesome to see him mention Satch, but I think it was cooler that he was giving Sharon Osbourne a bit of attitude...haha. \m/

Ergh.... random 4am wake up.... so here's some Chickofoot vids:

Get It Up - Foxy Lady Mix

More Chad Vocals

and this is just my Chickenfoot playlist which has a bunch of vids tagged to it

Oh, and here's a recent Queensryche for anyone going to that show

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!!

I'm 13 years old guitarist from Georgia, I'm fond of your songs so I play them all the time, I've been playing the guitar since 2008 (1 year) I even go on guitar classes where my teacher gives me your songs at homework all the time and I'm very happy with that. I love your almost every song: Cryin', Always with me always with you, Extremist, Surfing with an alian, Summer song and many other ones. best wishes please answer one of your biggest funs Lasha Ugulava

One_Robot - just checked your pics, very nice! And you got to meet Joe how cool - you work in music?

Al - nice swinging buddy, you da man, but I'd like another ronimE too.

Lasha - welcome mate, if you can play Joe's songs on guitar at 13 you are already a legend in my book :0) I can only play a few bars of Ten Words and "Killing Me Softly" haha

Glitzy - you are so welcome my friend, keep it up and make sure you remember me when you go to the Olympics :>)

Pippy - wassup my lovely Pip-buddy? You pulling recently (*smug grin*)?, bet those Pantene sidies are a magnet. Can't believe Webber's reaction to the win he sounded like me at a Satch show.

Slans - you could be right about the comparison to Madonna but Madonna had the choreo-dance thing whereas Pink is circus-trained so to speak and it really is awesome to see the trapeze act etc, I did a circus training thing with work and loved the trapeze it was a buzz but FFS it was damn hard and I ached for days, plus I didn't have to sing! I do admire anybody with clear talent at something where you know few people in the world can do what they are doing e.g. Joe.

scuby - sounds like work is good, that's great, and you're a spring chicken at 35 haha.

Joe - hope you had a great birthday, maybe you got some more jocks and socks?

burly - MORNIN burly got your tickets yet???

Lasha, nice to hear that fans from Georgia are here :)))) you have advanced guitar teacher :) keep going. good luck!

Skippygirl - thanks a lot ;)
I work in IT, plus in a music business as a second hobby-job I love.
met Joe once in 2006 in SF, Warfield ... I was just among all other fans :)
I dream I can meet him someday in my life personally :)))

Hi Joe,

Happy birthday! I tried to greet you yesterday, but I couldn't register in time. I'm just a big fan of yours here in Argentina. Yesterday I had this crazy, funny idea: maybe your next Tour can be called "Show Satriani". By the way, I loved Chickenfoot. Keep on rocking!!!

Do The Stu: The dvd is the 2 shows we went to. Boston & NY. All the same vids are on you tube on the clubcabonortheast channel. The quality on you tube isn't great on all of them because we don't have high speed internet and they took weeks to upload.

Dear Joe... You Rock!! you are my guitar idol and i cant wait till you announce your Australia tour!!!

and I'm also broke and i need to get a better guitar with 24 frets and a locking tremolo... any suggestions. I want a cheap one but still desent sound and things so i can cover ur songs abit better... My epiphone SG isnt handeling it very well

thanks!!

Once again YOU RULE!!!

regards peter

Do the Stu: Apart from Satch one of my very favourite guitarplayers is yet another Joe, namely a certain Mr. Joe Bonamassa. He is an incredible bluesguitarist who always treats his audience to mindblowing performances both on acoustic and electric guitars - and his solos just knock everybody out. And heīs quite a good singer as well. I actually think heīs an LA-local, so you might even know him, as I can see youīre from Long Beach??!!

Another concert that stays with me as very memorable was one with Larry Carlton about 3 three years ago here in Denmark. He demonstrated an unbelieveable mastery of both rock-, pop- and bluesguitarplaying and the way he interacted with the audience was so very relaxed - it felt like I was sitting in his livingroom, you know. His son played the bass by the way and he was awesome too.

I like Steve Lukather as well, allthough he tends to act a little too vulgar for my liking at times on stage, like grabbing his crutch aso.....Iīm hugely into Jeff Beck as well, still havenīt seen him live though......I also have a weakness for Linking Park - I like the way they mix rock and rap a lot. And I like the overdistorted guitars and leadsingers voice.......Last year I also went to see the Yardbirds, a totally mindblowing accumulation of experience and tightplaying!!

....Joe Bonamassa is actually playing my town in a couple of weeks and I have the ticket ready. A (very!) small comfort for the cancelled Chickenfoot-gig last week....That still bugs me, like you wouldnīt believe it!!
