Mark, this is a surprise. So you're giving up your gearwhore status?

That's my plan. Hopefully I can stick to it. I remember back when I first started playing all I did was want to sit down and learn new stuff and get better. I haven't had that feeling in a LONG time, so that's where I want to get back to.

I hear ya, similar situation but not a gear whore. Haven't sat down in a long time to learn any new content.

good luck, I want to get back to learning again too.......


I want that Mbox......

 

[tnourse]

Sounds like a great plan Mark! I should do the same! Are you gonna take lessons or do you have some sort of plan in mind for improving your playing??

 

[mrp5150]

How come your not keeping your recording gear?

I find myself playing more now since I tried recording.. too bad I suck too much to post my stuff

I'm gonna pick up a used M-Audio DMP3 for hopefully under $100. I had one of those before I had my Mbox and it was definitely good enough for making clips at home. I still have another SM57 at home too.

PM me, we can work something out if you want it. I really have no idea what it will sell for.

I want to find a really good teacher that I can take lessons from after I graduate in May. Until then I have a few books I'm gonna start working through and such. Probably gonna start with a Troy Stetina Lead Guitar book and maybe that Guitar Grimoire book. I've heard that's pretty good for learning theory and scales and such.

Haha, if she had a price I'm sure I would be more than willing to pay it.

You should just buy a little USB thing for just as much. It would work better than plugging a dedicated preamp into integrated sound, and you would have a headphone mix control blah blah blah blah.

Are you getting that Charvel???

I have the Guitar Grimoire books, one for scales and one for chord progressions, pretty good for just sitting down trying to learn some scales, its just a bunch of diagrams of a shit load of scales, only goes as far as you want it to, which for me isn't very far since I never actually sat down to memorize the fretboard or scales

 

[mrp5150]

It's actually a GMW, but yeah. Should be here this week.

See that's exactly what I need to do so maybe I will pick up one of those. Time to stop being so damn lazy!

Hey Mark, pickup the Creative Guitar 1 & 2 books by Guthrie Govan. They have some great information, and they really gave me a whole bunch of ideas which have helped me a lot! They make a great read too, even if you dont have a guitar nearby!

Cool man, I'll check those out. Never knew he had any books.

I'd love to take that cabinet of your hands, but I really shouldn't

Will you send overseas? Might be interested in that Peterson.

Lots of people have been sending me messages about that thing! I would ship overseas but only if you would pay with an international money order or bank wire transfer.
