Learning Covers
If you want to fire me an Mefimail, or list the songs here, I'm sure I could work some of them out for you - its about my only natural talent. I can work out the chords quick enough, but the fiddly-diddly lead bits you might be on your own for.

New to Home Recording
So...hold up a second, are we saying that the cheapest and easiest way of getting up and recording is to buy, one of these breakout boxes, a couple of SM-58s and an $800 laptop?

The Bitter with the Suite
My favourite thing is also my least favourite. The degree of politeness and thoughtful tolerance is really high - far higher than on the rest of the site. Sometimes i wish that people would bust loose a bit more, but i understand that we're all fragile little egos, really.

I imagine this will be a big and wandery Hello World thread all in all.
Damn skippy. This is the part of the thread that's the equivalent of the fourth hour of band practice. Everyone's half drunk, half tired, you just got finished telling the story of the time you opened for Power Station, same as you do every week, the fiddle player's got a banjo, the guitarist is on the drums and someone, for some reason, says "Remember that...

I found the sacred chord that Leonard Cohen was always going on about. Turns out it's just Dm7. Who'da thunk?
