Hi Guys!

I thought you'd be interested in Joe Satriani's comments about moving from a 22 fret to a 24 fret (referring to his Ibanez). This from the June online Premier Guitar; http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/20701-joe-satriani-outside-the-box?page=1


"Was it hard to adjust to the extra two frets?
The last tour I switched between the 22 and 24 fret models. I thought it was comical that someone of my age and professionalism would be struggling because of two extra frets, but I would sometimes check in visually with the guitar and wonder, “Is that an A or a B?” I thought, “I can’t believe you spaced out like that. How long have you been playing guitar?” But starting with the Unstoppable Momentum tour I was completely comfortable with the 24 frets."

Sounds just like me, "Is that A or B?" Of course, I don't have to be way up the neck to ask the question. :D
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
-- Chet Atkins
