Yes, this is unfortanate. However, all is not lost. The Dynasty BBS has
lots & lots of TABs also. Not trying to just advertise my BBS, but if
anyone needs a "replacement", feel free to call over here. (937)-258-

assistant: Does anyone hear like Joe Satriani because I hear he's gonna play a concert
here and I wanna the details.  I myself play the electric ans well as the
acoustic guitar.  I own a G&L S-500 which is pretty much my main guitar.  I
do not like alternative music.(sorry to say) I think music is something that
takes time, discipline, and hard work.  I used to like Nirvana and all that
shit but when you listen to it it's pretty much crap.  There are guys who
spend there entire lives practicing and mastering the instrument of guitar
and they don't even get recognized because MTV doesn't give them the time of
day.
Guys like George Lynch, Yngwiee Malmsteen,(even though he's an asshole) Steve
Wariner, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and Steve Morse are great.  Those guys are
great guitarists.  Don't get me wrong, I like metal bands such as Metallica
and Korn but sometimes you have to give respect to those who have earned it,
not to those who play just three chords.
