Frequencies of the Month: July 2010

I have always been a fan of Guitar Solos and a testimony of that is my proud possession of a six string acoustic guitar from Ibanez, that I excitedly bought around five years ago, but never had the luck of mastering it 😦 Whatever, I won’t give up!

Joe is also known for never using cursive in his autographs

Anyways, of all those virtuoso-inspirations, the one that stands top on liking list is Joe Satriani (well, admittedly after Jimi Hendrix of course). Born July 15th 1956 in Westbury, NY, Joe Satriani began playing guitar at age 14. By 1971, he was teaching guitar to others, one of his students being Steve Vai. Ah, how very orgasmic!

Since his emergence in 1986 with a self-released, self-titled debut album, Joe has become the most recognizable guitar voice of his time, earning his place alongside the great masters of rock guitar.

My frequencies for this month are exclusive Joe Satriani’s limited 20 only favourites, in no particular order, which just leave me with an insatiable feel for a command on strings like that!

Frequencies of the Month: June ‘09

“Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine, till you feel it all around you
And I don’t mind, if it’s me you need to turn to
We’ll get by, it’s the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain”

Frequencies of the Month: May ‘09

It’s HOT LIKE HELL in Karachi! Like boiling hot! I don’t remember the mercury rising this much in summers here ever! I mean I could stand in scorching sun for hours just over a year ago, but I think my bones will get roasted even if I tried thinking about doing the stunt this time around. And with the hours and hours of loadshedding, it’s getting out of hands! I have warned everyone in the house that if they hear a scream and a bang, that would be me, running out of the house to the wild, trying to find some cool solace, where I can stay in my pajamas all day long! And sip some cool coconut water, chew fresh strawberries and have a liter pane of punchy drinks at my disposal!

I better snap put of this day dreaming before another power outage hits me here, leaving stranded and unconnected from the anything out there! And remember to keep yourself hydrated! 🙂

Frequencies of the Month: Apr ‘09

“The selfish they’re all standing in line…
Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind.

The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There’s east and there’s west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that Ill die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.”
