Hello and welcome to the first SATRIANI.COM newsletter of 2007!

Here's what you can see in this issue:

* MESSAGE FROM JOE
* G3 2007 TOUR - "CLUB JOE" & PREMIUM TICKET PACKAGES
* SATRIANI TICKET PRE-SALE INFO REMINDER
* "ONE ROBOT'S DREAM" FAN VIDEO CONTEST WINNERS

It's February, and this an email up date from yours truly Joe Satriani... Let me tell you first, that Steve Vai and I had a fine and good time playing "Super Colossal" for the Grammy Pre-Tel audience at the Grammys this past weekend. Here's a mini photo as proof:

http://www.satriani.com/gallery/0_Special_Photos/2007-grammys-IMG_1159.jpg

The Pre-Tel is where four thousand or so members gather to celebrate and give out awards for 97 of the 108 Grammy categories. These are not televised, mostly because it would make show about 7 hours long! It's low key, but, taken quite seriously, by some.

Although a good time was had by all, I did in fact not win a Grammy. Yes, for the fourteenth time! But, many fine people did, which is good.

While sitting through the three hour Grammy show I got a chance to chat with Jack White and the Raconteurs, Susan Tedeschi, Nelly and other notables. Some say they caught a glimpse of me on TV wearing my black hat. There's a funny story about that, but I'll get to that some other time...

The news on the G3 tour is that we will offer "CLUB JOE," a new meet and greet experience. "CLUB JOE" guests will receive a 60 minute Q&A and autograph session with me, a personal photograph, a guided tour of my on-stage "Guitar World' and an autographed copy of my new double DVD "Satriani Live". Plus, two lucky guests will be brought back onstage to watch the show's encore from the side of the stage!

John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert and I are really looking forward to going head to head, toe to toe and string to string all across the USA and Canada. Come on out and help us write a new chapter in G3 history!

Joe Satriani

The final remaining shows are now confirmed and we do not expect more dates to be added. That said, we are proud to announce a variety of premium ticket packages and the launch of the all-new "CLUB JOE" experience.

As reminder, we often provide links to exclusive online ticket presales for Joe's shows. This last tour we've been working very closely with the fine folks at Entourage Talent who book Joe's tours and are making great progress in bringing all of these presales to you on a regular basis. It can be a very complicated process to work with different local promoters for each show, but we've been updating SATRIANI.COM with updated information on a daily basis, so we hope regular visitors have been appreciating these efforts.

So, keep this in mind for the future and check the site regularly if you are interested in picking up advance tickets for future shows. Since the leadtime is often not enough time to send out email blasts, checking the web site is the best way to be sure you catch them.

We also have plans to do more targeted emails to members who are signed up to this newsletter so that instead of filling up everyone's email all around the world with details on a single city's presale information, we only let you know based on the city/state/zip information in your profile. If you'd like to get immediate notice of Internet pre-sales direct to your email, please take a moment to update your member profile with accurate information. We're hoping to start this for the next major tour, so do it now! :}

Hello and welcome to the first SATRIANI.COM newsletter of 2007!

Here's what you can see in this issue:

* MESSAGE FROM JOE
* VIDEO CONTEST FINAL VOTING
* G3 2007 TOUR (SATCH, PETRUCCI, GILBERT)
* NEW JSX MINI-COLOSSAL GUITAR AMP (+ CONTEST)

After two amazing G3's in Mexico, South America and Australia, Christmas in Singapore, and New Years in SF, what better way to kick off 2007 than to announce our G3 Spring Tour with John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert!

But first, a word about NAMM; I had a great time at the Peavey booth inviting the guys from OCC to debut their Peavey Chopper with Hartley Peavey himself, followed by the debut of the new JSX Mini Colossal Amp.

The amp is really a little monster. With 5 watts of pure class A sound, a Power Sponge(master volume), fx loop, tremolo, a direct out, and a killer 8" speaker, it's the perfect little recording amp, practice amp, and all around fun amp. Check it out...

http://www.satriani.com/gear/

The next evening I helped Steve Vai celebrate his 20th anniversary with Ibanez Guitars with an all star jam at Hollywood's Key Club on Sunset. At the end of the night Steve and his band were joined by Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons, Herman Li(Dragonforce), Matt Roberts(3 Doors Down) and yours truly for a great and thunderous jam.

And, yes, Paul Gilbert is joining us for his first full G3 tour! Paul has been a frequent guest of our shows over the years and I'm happy to announce he'll be bringing his amazing guitar work on tour with us this year. His new solo CD "Get Out of My Yard is awesome... Go get it!

http://www.paulgilbert.com/

I'm currently working on new art work for my Planet Waves strap and pick line, a new JS guitar with Ibanez for next year, and new effects pedal line with Vox...oh, yes and practicing for G3 of course!

Joe

We are in the final voting stages for the "One Robot's Dream" fan video contest. If you made a video, make sure you've entered it for voting, and if you haven't voted yet, please stop by before Feb 1st!

joe has a lot of exciting news coming up for 2007 -- new gear, new tours with a new g3 guitarist, and more! stay tuned :}

Joe is up for a Grammy again this year for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" (for solo, duo, group or collaborative performances, without vocals. Includes Rock, Hard Rock and Metal. Singles or Tracks only.)

Here's who he is up against:

Chun Li's Flying Bird Kick

Also, Joe makes an appearance in the new Christopher Guest (and company) film "For Your Consideration". He is the cheeky guitarist in the Late Night Show band, there's a close up, the whole lasts about 20 seconds. The scene revolves around Ms Hack's ( Maureen O'Hara) first TV appearance after undergoing some cosmetic surgery...

Change of Venue for Adelaide fans

The venue for the G3 concert in Adelaide Entertainment has been changed to the Thebarton Theatre on the same date, Wednesday December 6.

The Thebarton Theatre will offer a more intimate concert experience than would have been possible at the Entertainment Centre, which we hope will be appreciated by all ticket holders.

All tickets purchased for the Entertainment Centre show are valid for the relocated show without need for exchange. Should patrons be unable to attend the Thebarton Theatre, a full refund can be obtained from the ticket outlet from which they were purchased.

Michael Coppel Presents and G3 apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hello and welcome to the Aug 1st 2006 SATRIANI.COM newsletter!

Here's what you can see in this issue:

* MESSAGE FROM JOE
* 2006 ROAD PODCAST
* JEFF CAMPITELLI'S ROAD PHOTOS
* UPCOMING GIGS (SPECIAL LA GIG, G3, CLINIC)

Having just returned from a great European tour, and a crazy Guitar Town Festival at Copper Mountain in Colorado, I thought I'd say Hi and fill you in on what's coming up next.

More whacky Podcasts for one thing, they just get funnier and funnier, you'll see.

The mixing of our live DVD shot in HD is just being finished, and the 2 disc set will eventually contain: the whole show from The Grove, a few movies featuring Super Colossal rehearsals, backstage and more, at the last US show at The Warfield in SF, the making of "Crowd Chant" in Vancouver, the first four podcasts, a beautiful slide show from our European tour, and an amazing documentary filmed in India last year called "Flying in a Blue Dream". This double DVD set is packed with great stuff!

Later this month, on the 12th, I will be giving a clinic at the National Guitar Workshop in New Milford, CT , and playing at the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp in NYC on the 14th.

A benefit show for our dear friend Cliff Cultreri will be held on September 30th at the House of Blues in L.A.,CA. I will be joined by Steve Vai and many others on stage to help raise funds for Cliff's mounting medical bills. Please read our press release for more details. http://www.satriani.com/2004/road/2006-09-30-pr.shtml

G3 shows for South America and Australia are set: John Petrucci, Eric Johnson and I will play S.A and Mexico in mid October. Australia will see Steve Vai, John Petrucci and me in early December. Check satriani.com for exact dates.

That's all for now!

Joe

It all started in San Francisco the last night of the U.S. Super Colossal tour... webmaster Jon commented to Joe's son ZZ "hey, since you're going to be around during the European tour, why not take your skateboard video skills and do some video podcasts for the site?" Seemed like a long shot, but ZZ stepped up to the challenge and he and Joe and the band have been working hard to make some good use of the downtime between shows to slap these classic podcasts together for you. Check out the crazy antics of life on the road in this limited edition 6-part podcast series!

Episodes 1-3 have already launched, so if you haven't seen 'em yet, come on over to SATRIANI.COM and click on the big button on the home page to check 'em out. Subscribe using iTunes (or your other favorite podcast tool) and get them downloaded as they appear. The remaining 3 will continue to show up every other week. If you like 'em, post a message on Talk To Joe and let us know-- maybe we'll try to continue them throughout the rest of the year!

Also look for the podcast featured in iTunes' podcast "New & Notable" section and take a moment to add your comments on it.
