TotallyGeek, thank you for living up to your screen name..... LOL - Why thank you. Actually, I lived in India for a while and my wife is from Punjab. I actually know a couple people that can have conversations strictly in Sanskrit: one studied it for her degree and one was studying to become a puja...

I thought Sanskrit was dead, and noone knew how to speak it. Anyone devoting themselves to a temple in Northern India will likely have to learn Sanskrit. You can think of it like Latin, which is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church, though people don't generally walk the halls speakin...

Saw them in Bangalore, India (awesome show, great set):

I don't think he means that copyright expires, but it might be hard in court when there have been a multitude of incidents where you didn't sue, but now you do.... Precisely. Especially if one artist has more money or is more popular than another. I would still like to know if the suit is brought o...

Sure it is not the squeak part where metal is scraped against the strings, like his trem bar?

Take your whammy bar out of its socket and run along your string for some great sounds.

They had Justin Timberlake one year.

I think in these cases you have to sue or you will forever lose the right to sue someone else for the same behavior. If someone copies an entire release, the argument in court will be, "He is playing favorites. It is alright for Coldplay to copy material, but not <insert cheesy band name here>?" Als...

He did it for MTV's Rock and Jock almost twenty years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyCRSZjtYBI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think John 5 would be a nice addition for the G3. He evidently already has worked with Steve Vai (Perenium) and believe it or not can play much more than just heavy stuff. Can't do any worse than Yngwie!

Die to Live is 'easy' (what a term to use for Vai's music).

My girlfriend likes him, so I took her to a concert last summer. I must say, the event was at a great venue (Hollywood Bowl), he plays guitar well and there was plenty of guitar work performed, and the place was filled with women. I would go again...

May 2008:

The Bird and the Bee - The Bird and the Bee
Limp - Guitarded
Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien (Remastered with DVD)

Where can I get this? Amazon shows nothing...

Ask Debora Holland.

My question more specifically is: Has there been anything you just cannot nail every time and just simply drop from recording, play live, or trying to master. We know that Vai or Satch can do sweep picking, legato, etc, but is there some beat they just could never consistently get down. Or, does Vai...
