myspace paydirt!
Just when I'm starting to get bored with my whole myspace experience, Mike Porter (of Alderson Broaddus/Chaos Theory fame) emails me and introduces me to a guitarist I'd never heard of named Tommy Emmanuel... go check him out, he's AMAZING. Amongst Maestro Emmanuel's friends is my idol, STEVE VAI... Steve Vai has a page on myspace!!! Suddenly I'm crashing through a whole vein of progressive guitar gods that I absolutely LOVE -- guys like Tony MacAlpine and George Lynch and Greg Howe and John Petrucci and Mike Keneally and Vernon Reid and Eric Sardinas... check these guys out -- they'll burn your face clean off.
Thanks Mike!!
Thanks Mike!!

Yeah, Tommy Emmanuel is a bad ass. My friend introduced me to him a few months ago, I was supposed to go see him live last month, but I didn't. Wish I did though.

Tender Surrender by Steve Vai is one of the most mind-blowing things I've ever heard - not only in terms of technical mastery of the instrument, but also the fact that he plays it so musically. More than ever, it's convincing me that I NEED to learn the guitar..... like right now.
I swear this happened: Satriani gave me some backstage passes (actually not the first time he's done that for me) to the G3 show a few years back. After the show I hung out on the floor of the Riviera with Steve Vai, Tony Macalpine, Toshi Isheda, and Billy Sheehan (who was drinking wine and had two hot slutty looking girls on his arms). The name of Vai's drummer slips my mind right now but I had a pretty good convo with him.
Later on I went over and said hello to Satch by his tourbus and met his band. Of course Yngwie entered his tourbus and shuttered the windows.
True story.
