Whats everyone elses input. | sometimes guys play what they're given,and tour the world with great geetar guys.....i doubt the guy got to play with satch by being bad.....a symphony has a row of skilled db players who often saw away on whole notes all night because that's the gig....

That's often the kind of gig you have when you're playing with guitar virtuosos. They're in the spotlight, not 'you'. I'm sure he's a good player. |

Satriani's bassist is to play the part not be a part.

But thats just what iv seen from youtube vids. Im seeing the show in a month and may have a more educated option then. |

Satriani is sounding great at a satriani show. The bassist must be doing something right.

The guys on the gig are there to frame the lead guitar. That's the gig. You've gotta be a mature player to fill the role. |

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | dave larue was doing the satch gig for a while. haven't heard it from dave personally but i hear that what you're all saying about satch is rooted in truth. the bass is sort of there for franework a lot of the time. that's ok, but it's probably not a gig best suited for dave.

Plus, he's a great guy as well. Met him back stage after a DD show. He had a Heineken in one hand and was shaking the hands of his fans with the other, all the while talking about music theory with me.

meanwhile ive seen vai on 4 dvds.. sheehan, some guy i didnt know, and then beller. all of which contributed a great deal. as well as 2 extremely talented guitarists or a pair of electric violinists. everyone gets their spot in vai's show.
satch keeps people playing what he could have programmed in his studio.

Whats everyone elses input. | I agree he isn't technically near stu hamm but he puts on a good show and can play all the songs so he isn't terrible. But I will agree it wasn't the same without Stu Hamm at the last gig I went |

We went back and forth exchanging funny comments related to what a joyous day "New Bass Day" is. Then he emailed me directly about a fund raiser I was trying to start up for a fellow bass player down on his luck. Next thing I know, Bryan's assistant and legal associate emails me to see how they could help! Real cool folks.
Top Notch People, and it started with Bryan. I have made it a point to donate to Low Notes for Nashville to help him and the musicians down in Tennessee (he lives in Nashville) even thought I am from Mass.
BB is Ok with me.
Also, I have heard nothing but good things about Dave LaRue, another classy guy from what I understand. |
