Sweet. How's the playing coming along?

Nice Marc. I got a Fender GDEC 3 15w practice amp for christmas. It has a ton of backing tracks on it and you play the guitar parts through the amp with the backing track. I have a ton of backing tracks on my computers that I can transfer to the amp so I can lug it downstairs and noodle away on the couch when the feeling strikes me. How does the neck feel on the Ibanez? After all these years I've never played one. I have two strats and a godin left, just gave my musician son my prized PRS for Christmas...

Not too bad. I have the basic chord progressions down. I am working on speed and moving from chord to chord both in and out of order to get used to finger placement and strum patterns. I have also been working on learning Sweet Home Alabama, One, Suicide And Redemption, Smoke On The Water and some others so I can work on speed and finding string without looking.

I'll tell you this... it is a lot hard than I expected because I am not spending the time like I should. I think the new toy will help change that. LOL

Man, that sounds awesome. I would assume something like that could help with timing for guys who are learning... and a portable party for guys with talent.

The finger board is a shade wider, which helps me. I have been learning to play with classic finger placement, mostly because the neck of the Strat was so narrow. Now I can thumb the low E without hitting the A or pulling the E out of tune. Also, compared to the Strat, it takes much less finger pressure to get a selected fret position to play correctly.

There is no such thing as a cheap PRS (quality or cost). He is a lucky guy to have a Dad willing to let a quality peice go.

There are some some decent jamtracks over here. Check them out first though, some of them are not so "decent". If you're into tabs, check this out...

A few of mine, on the other wall is another electric Bass and an Upright Bass

Anyone had a chance to play around with one of these? MusiciansFriend (the other MF) has them on sale.

Neat stuff! I just picked up a Fender GTrac, which has backing track support and all that as well, but nowhere the clean interface that I see for this one. Worth more of a look...

 

[Boss281]

Hell, they're only $99, I'll pick one up and let you know what I think...

Coolness!

Should show up in a day or so, and I'll mess around with it on the long weekend. Will be playing an older Strat Texas Special and Godin Exit 22.

Stan, the JamVOX arrived today. I'll probably get to it on Friday after work...

Got curious, got the driver loaded, loaded software and update. Tones are kind of nice, seem dead on with neck pickup, a bit tinny w/bridge. Then again that's on the Godin, haven't yet tried the Strat. Need to import some backing tracks, then import some MP3s and see how hard to mute the leads, then try extracting leads to slow 'em down and learn. Gonna be fun...will post vids...

 

[Chris06GT]

I am interested in this as well..... I just picked up another Ibanez electric, and I am looking for more pedals as well..

 

[Boss281]

Pulled in a SRV "Tin Pan Alley" backing track, jammed along using multiple tones. Got more jam tracks and imported, played along, got a little bored but a good jam tool. Makes this very similar to the Line6 GuitarPod product. I like that I can keep the little JamVox downstairs in front of the tube, plug it into my laptop and just jam when I see fit. Otherwise, gotta leave the room, get the amps set up upstairs, etc. Nice, convenient.

Next I'll try pulling in full song MP3s and trying to mute out the lead guitar to see if that works as advertised. The pull JUST the lead out, loop it, slow it down so I can learn the phrases...

You guys have some very nice guitars up in here! I have been playing since I was 14(15 years now) and mainly play acoustic. I ashamed to say that I don't even have a pic of any of my guitars.

Cool. Ordering now. I have an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 DA converter on my desktop in the home studio but was looking for something to use with my laptop.
