Don't have an Xbox, but who knows, maybe it's the right time...

If you need to check tuning there are a lot of phone apps that will get you there. Boss or Fender I have used and seem fine.

Either way, I suck at this guitar thing. I just need to spend more money, I'm sure that'll help. Perhaps hire a band!

yeah Ibanez makes great instruments for their price. One of my main basses that I use for jazz is a budget model bass.
I agree with the rocksmith thing, it's great for keeping you motivated and it does a really good job of ramping difficulty, like on guitar it will just have you play the root note of the chord and then slowly introduce more and more as you score higher. Everyone sucks at first, but unless someone is a complete asshole no one cares if you suck. Plus if you're practicing you should be practicing things you suck at anyway. |

Also you can use rocksmith on PC, it just needs this special cable that goes from your guitar to your computer/xbox

Hell, I just looked at Craigslist and FB Marketplace and it looks like I can score an Xbox 360 for pretty cheap, so I might go that route too. Thank you all for the help, tips, and encouragement, I'm hoping this turns out to be a fun as I have hoped.

Hey, I've taught myself (lots of YouTube) how to do the E, A, D, C & G chords, I just really can't move between them without chasing the dogs up to the top floor. And, like was said before, I don't want to do too much on my own because if don't want to have to unlearn any bad habits I might be doing. Oh, and the C and G chords SUCK! And my pointer finger must have been a real sissy, it's kind of sore!

It’s the Dallas International Guitar Festival time of year. Is anybody on here planning to attend?
A couple of luthiers I know are showing off their wares this weekend. Kinghat Guitars has a couple of adjacent booths and offers some quality builds at a reasonable price. His photo yesterday showed some Pappas amps as well. I don’t know if Cody has his own booth this year or is just working with Mark. Some amazing original design hand built amps. I think you can get one of the guitars for around $2k. B Customs says he has 41 axes he carried over. These things are absolute works of art and if I had one, I don’t think I could bring myself to take it to a gig. Brian is a talented guy who plays, shoots video, and has a recording studio. All 3 of the men are active musicians and good people. If you’re there you should stop by. Tell them Bob Dole sent you and get a confused look for free! (My real name is Scott,BTW.) |
