Learning Guitar

Learning guitar has never been so easy. With the internet and advancing technology it is becoming easier to learn guitar by the day. All you need is to have a good source of information and to know what kind of information someone your level should know. So how do you find this information? There are tons of websites out there for guitarists. Many are specifically for beginner guitarists, others are for all levels. Blogs can be a great place to start because they are full of different techniques, chords, and scales that you need to know. This is a great place to start. Blogs are free and are definitely worth looking into. As good of a start as these are, I suggest you have other products to augment your learning. The more sources you have to learn from the better your learning will be.

Music in my Circle

For some reason it's taken me 30 years to start putting together even the simplest of home studio. Digital, of course. What I mean is I put together a Tascam analog to usb interface with a Behringer 802 mixer, that has phantom power for my Behringer C-1 condenser mic.

The Tascam seems to have better software with it, as opposed to the freeware that Behringer has you download from the net. While a nice mic'ed drum set would be awesome, right now I'll have to settle with programming my Alesis SR16 drum machine.

Here's a list of other entry level items for a beginners home studio:

Alesis SR18 Drum Machine

Zoom MRT-3B(great as it will run on batteries)

AT 2020 Condenser Mic

Boom Mic Stand

Assortment of Cables(patch, instrument, mic)
