Search for Line 6 products - you can plug the guitar directly into your computer and then mix other inputs\n\nI have played guitar for 20 years and I have to make an album now.\n\nGood luck.

Good question, there are so many to chose from.  You have to ask yourself a few questions first:\n\nWhat style do you play?  What do your guitar influences use?  What kind of sound do you want?  What are your needs?  What kind of venues will you use the amp?  How much are you willing to pay?\n\nTake these answers to the music stores when you shop.  Don't just go to one store either.  Look around and compare.  A drive within an hours distance is worth the trip.  Bigger isn't always better, since most amps get mic’d thru a PA system.  You may be better off with a good 120 Watt amp vs. a full stack.\n\nI recommend a tube amp, they cost a bit more, but you will notice a difference.  Good brand names are Marshal, Fender, Roland, and Mesa-Bogie.  I recommend separate channels if possible.  Don't be impressed with internal effects with distortion and reverb.  Chances are you use quality stomp boxes or processors.\n\nOnce you find a brand you are happy with don’t rush to buy.  Look in the classifieds, eBay, internet searches, or garage sales for a better deal.  Use caution though, you get what you pay for. \n\nBest whishes.

Picking up my guitar- I need a reminder on how to tune it.

O.K. You have to have an adapter that will allow you to plug the guitar into the microphone jack in the tower, then run a similar line with adapter from the headphones jack in either the tower or the speakers back to your amp. Viola! I don't know how good it will sound though. It would work better with a keyboard or synthesizer probably.

yes go to drop tuning which usually youll go drop d and anything lower then that and you may want to get yourself a bass guitar.  but if you dont know how to go to drop just get a tuner and wait until your reading for the 6 string comes out as a 3d and that would be drop d tuning

get to an independant music shop and play til you find one that feels right for you-yamaha pacifica series are good and tanglewoods are affordable-if you cant play at all then buy a fender sqire series-cheap and versatile and not too much of an investment if you aint feelin the rock!with all guitars you will need a pedal to get those sounds-no guitars come with it built in-if you want to do it pc based then get a line 6 gear box-millions of ace sounds and comes complete with a recording studio to show off your efforts to your mates/family etc-about £130 but essential purchase-also- practice practice practice-theres no substitute for it unless you have a hitherto undiscovered god like genius on the geeetar-best of luck and keep on rockin brother

go to your local music store and pick them all up, even ones out of your price range.  when you find some that feel comfortable, then play them on your amp and find the one that feels good and sounds good.

It's no longer feasible or affordable to have huge rigs with a gazillion pedals. Let your sound guy take care of reinforcing your sound through the sound system. \nWork with your Pod as it's capable of producing the sounds you are wanting. You don't mention what kind of guitar you have. Make sure your axe is hot and setup correctly. The axe and your hands is where the sound starts. So, work on your technique as well.\n\nJust some thoughts.

i know this one i play the bass!!! have you ever heard the song by the pixies? its called gigantic! its awesome just figure out the beginning and practice that before you start to play! or first 4 frets on every string- u could also try that too! either one works but when you play gigantic its a little better!

Ampeg SVT is by far the best base amp.Try to find a good used one.The 8,10 inch speaker cabinet is like a wall of sound.\n        You might as well spend a little more now to get what you want or you'll regret it later.I'm a drummer but I also play base,so I can relate.
