I've seen him twice up here in Minneapolis. The man has magic fingers.

A shame that Stu Hamm isn't touring with him anymore. He's a really fun bassist to watch live.

I was wondering if Stu was still around or not. The writeup only says "Joe Satriani with Eric Johnson".

I hadn't kept up with him lately. I'm about 3 albums behind and being that I just can't see myself actually purchasing a CD any more, I'll have to see if I can buy it online. So I'll have no idea what he's playing tonight, but it won't matter.

I'm so psyched.

So. How close did you actually get?
I think I played an arpeggio once, and got a scale up to something 136 bpm. Then I decided my futility was better spent on not learning to play fingerstyle, rather than not learning to play Satch Boogie.

Anybody who decided to make the Silver Surfer his cover art is okay with me!

That's cool that you saw him. I had thought about getting tickets. I was at Downtown Disney on Friday night and he was playing at the House Of Blues that night. Hope it was a good show.
