Home Studio Newby - Part 2 2008-03-04 05:22:32 Now that I’ve got my feet wet with my shiny new M-Audio Fast Track Pro Mobile USB Audio/MIDI Interface things are starting to come together and it’s all getting a bit exciting.
Still facing some challenges with latency and distortion and the fact that my computer is pushing 6 years old doesn’t help either. Ideally I’d like [...]
Putting a Home Music Studio Together - Newby Guide - Part 1 2008-02-26 06:35:17 Didn’t get that much practice done this last weekend mainly due to my exciting new purchase of an external USB sound card with
MIDI and guitar jack interfaces.
Everything was going smoothly until it came to calibrating the sound card, it seems that even when you can find the right input and output buffer levels to [...] Read more:Putting

Interesting FAQ’s and Beginner Guitar Lesson Course Questions 2008-02-17 06:24:31 Been getting some interesting feedback from the “what’s your 1 question?” form on the sign up page for the accelerated onine beginners course
Mainly over a concern over whether ‘it actually works’ and can learning quickly without an instructor actually be done.

Project Hotel California 2008-02-12 05:36:38 Not the most difficult beginner song to learn how to play, although it does involve a bit of bar chording. However – my challenge (which I have decided to accept) is to play the 12 string intro - without the capo – which is tough and will require a bit of improvisation for some of [...] Read more:Project

Why Free Guitar lessons Are a Waste of Time 2008-02-04 10:18:57 What is with all these people thinking they can learn to play the guitar without having to at least pay something?
Learning any musical instrument is a time consuming and laborious process at the beginning and without the proper guidance the chances are you’ll give up in frustration out of doing it wrong and not [...] Read more:Guitar

Learn to Play Guitar the Fun and Quick Way 2008-01-15 06:30:50 Today I’m going to look at the quickest and most effective way to learn the guitar there is bar none – it’s no secret but it’s also something people don’t do enough – it’s all very well saying “I know that” but if you know it but don’t do it then you need to start [...] Read more:Guitar

Fitting in guitar practice every day. 2008-01-13 04:43:32 It can be hard fitting in guitar practice every
day, especially with a hectic 9-5, going to the gym, trying to reset and recouperate. But without it it’s nearly impossible to advance.
You see it’s every day practice that develops ‘guitar fingers’ that don’t hurt when holding down difficult chords for extended periods of time. One [...]
The importance of forming good guitar habits from the start 2008-01-07 07:56:49 It sounds obvious but when you’re learning shortcut style and not from qualified teachers but just other people and going the self taught route it’s very easy to form bad guitar habits

How Anyone - Yes Even You - Can Become a World Class Guitarist 2008-03-15 04:13:01 I’ve just read a very encouraging post on another blog about what it actually takes for anyone to master anything they want. It has little to do with starting early or having the right genes - although these things certainly help they are not required.
It’s objections like “It’s too late/I’m too old” and “I’m not [...] Read more:Anyone

It’s always a happy place where everyone’s having a great party – right?
Well this Thursday I’m playing in the church for [...] Read more:Guitar
