Legendary guitarist JOE SATRIANI (CHICKENFOOT) checks in with the following update:

"'My Kinda Girl' hits the airwaves, the Get Your Buzz On DVD is released, and we just had a Chickenfoot weekend in Cabo! I thought we were taking a break!

Oh, and I almost forgot, we've already started making demos for Chickenfoot 2.

Cabo was fun, as the fans made it a great weekend for the Foot. The webcast was a phenomenal success, thank you Jon Luini and company, and our sponsor BestBuy Big thanks to drummer extraordinare Matt Sorum for jamming with us on Thursday's gig and to my fellow Gentlemen of the Foot, Sammy, Mike and Chad, you guys rock the hardest!

I'm heading to the studio in one month to start recording a new solo project with Jeff Campitelli (drums), Allen Whitman (bass) and Mike Keneally (keyboards). The new material is dying to be recorded, and I can't wait to get started. I don't have a title for the project yet, but I will let you know when I figure it out...

And... European JS tour dates for October/November 2010 will go on sale soon, watch Satriani.com for details.

Finally, I want to thank the fans who came to any of the Experience Hendrix shows in March. You can read my tour blog at this location."
