Big MuffBeen playing for 20 years. Only advice is write what you feel not what you hear. And experimentaion is key, no mattter what you use to get there.

word god.
i used to have a ton of gadgets when i started out. they are fun, but not necessary. especially if you are recording. the only effects that i like to have actually running into my computer is distortion and sometimes delay. any other effects can be added using your software (if you even want any).
i played lead guitar for 5 years (basically shred metal) before i finally got tired of it. i rarely do anything more complicated than a simple scale nowadays. just like in art, less is more. (though every once in a while though i crank up and tear into some old metallica haha)
a nice complex song full of melody and counter melodies is great, but you cant beat simplicity. and no matter how "uninformed" you are with an instrument, you can still make music with it. experiment, go far out, just bring it back down after you are done. =)

the irony of this is that i did exactly the opposite. Get rid of a guitar and bass to get a keyboard. Just remember to keep it simple. The best players i know of have figured out ways to make their guitar sound like it has all of the bells and whistles of multi effects, without actually purchasing them.

Speaking of guitars, anyone interested in a KILLER bass guitar, I have a MusiMac 4string Stingray up for sale on our band's site at:
http://www.racetowinrock.com/gea…A shameless plug, I know. Glad to see people on this site that are still playing the rock'n'roll.

Yeah Reason, is just a studio set up in pone package. You can in fact flip the back of it and connect your wires to whatever and wherever. It's crazy! That thing is much more than just a techno production tool. However, 90% of people think otherwise. I will post a song here in a couple of days that was produced with Reason and Sound Forge. You'll dig it.

Speaking of learning to play the guitar: have anyone of you played the sims and let your sim learn to play the guitar? You start out just tuning and then it's the natural progress with cords and licks as the guy gets better. It's funny, every guitarist has gone down that road.

thanks for all the help guys....
I was messing wit that guitar all night....i broke a string :-(...im having trouble tuning that bad boy and that sucks...
i just cant wait till i know the basics so i can start making those Rock and Roll sounds that are soooooooooo tight.....haha then incorporate them into some hip hop or something...something different...
speaking of reason...i musta seen this dude from my school on it and he pushed a button the thing flipped around and it was like the back of real hardware...that really blew my mind...
anyway anybody know anything about the MM1...can i get some pros and cons.. lol

you can also do that with Vocals and then tweak them and harmonize them. So much to do with things like that and like every program it isn't what it seems on the surface BUT SO MUCH MORE!

Man you can record one fucking chord in Sound Forge, import it into Reason and play it with the NN-XT sampler. You can play an actual recorded guitar and then play it with a MIDI keyboard like I do and then sequence it as MIDI notes along with other racks in that program. It rocks, total freedom!!

hehe. i own. gibson SG, fender american strat, a cort les paul copy, and a jay turson electric/acoustic, with about 13 pedals, and a marshall half stack. i was a little hardcore in my teens especially.
anyhow. i found doing lame cord progressions so boring, so.... i think the best way to learn is just by buying a tab book from an artist u really like. and just learning to play along with what they're doing at first. it makes you not stop and fix what you're doing, and just go with what you hear. makes you more fluid. then try branching off and playing different styles... blues, jazz, etc. it's all just practise.
have fun :)

The Edirol Midi keyboards are a good line as well as the Oxygen line.

Jason_X has the right idea on appz. those are good. also a good beginning app that is easy to use is N-Track Studio ( http://www.fasoft.com ). straight forward plug in and record straight. nothing fancy, so it is a good one to start with.
my electric.
studio les paul. nice guitar. been thru hell with me though. haha.my favorite is my 1968 fender 12 acoustic. i wouldnt sell that one for anything. no pic though.
and ive had this shitty lil epiphone for years. it is nothing special, but it is good for carting around and beating on.
you ask a guy about his guitars and it is like asking a father about his kids. =)
hope you enjoy playing as much as i have.

true, good luck, again you will want to learn some sequencer such as Logic, Cubase SX, Sonar, Pro Tools, etc. Those are the good ones. Maybe also learn to use some Rack-based sequencer software such as Reason 2.0 at http://www.propellerheads.se - it's much more than just an electronica production tool. They also have a nice littel beat/loop/riff slicer called ReCycle which is really the best. As for editing, Sound Forge 6.0 is really the industry standard, but Wavelab is also good especially for MAC. Good Luck :)

I just bought the GUitar to learn something new....
I also got a Midi Keyboard...imma try to do some original tracks instead of sampling every one of my moms favorite songs...

my Hardware is here: http://www.machvinyl.com we mix electro with analog guitar sounds.

what are you trying to do? Sequence songs with a sampler? Your better off buying a Sample CD full of guitar licks from an accomplished artist for like $100, unless you planning on learning how to get going with Chord Progression and take countless guitar lessons or plan on teaching yourself.

I got a fender tele '67, a gibson SG, and a gretsch, a plethora of pedals, most of which I never use live, and I play through a 5150 peavy head and a marshall cab.
the tele is nuts for clean tone, especially cos I replaced the stock bridge pick-up with a seymour duncan hotrail, and the SG is...well it's an SG - balls out if you wanna rock. the gretsch is a blues baby...
