Re:Camera for making YouTube like videos

<t>While it might be cost prohibitive, I use a video camera, and use the audio only for reference, and record the audio using an SM-57 mic into Garage Band, which, in case you don't know, is a music recording software app. Any such app would do, but the idea is you get pristine audio, and can add ef...

Re:Buying a guitar.....?

<t>I just bought a Taylor, and I LOOOOOVE it. I have been wanting one for a long time, and did all the research I could, and went to try out as many as I could.

F, G. That's it, except for a little middle break where an occasional A minor is thrown in. What key ...

Re:A Theory Question

<t>While everything discussed about the key and where the notes come from is true, sometimes songs will borrow from many other keys and modes. So while the song is esentially in G, and starts out that way, it may contain notes and chords not found in G at all. This may be handled in two ways on a pi...
