Ill help ya out ahead of time...

P.S.  You can install the software on your puter also so when You are playing with his toy you dont have to use his computer.
P.P.S.
Heck I am going to spend some time here and maybe learn some tricks I dont know for my 250 and maybe some new patches have been added also :-) !!  WOw by researching for you I found new info for myself. SO CooL LOLOL {Thumbs up!}

Amy,,
any decision yet with it being so close to Christmas?

" It should be absolutely epic and really, really loud.  "

THEN IT WILL BE FUN FOR ALL!

I have to say teh SG guitars have a pretty roomy fret board.  That is why I like them. I have a Epi G400.  He should just go to a store and play around with some.  I think He will enjoy the SG  feel. not to mention its under 400 bucks.

Well if there was a amp for it I would put it in my garage with the 80 or so Cassets I still have.

The comm coll would be better than HS, IMHO, My wife teaches HS.  You dont want the BS.  In Coll at least the students want to be there.

LOLOLOL JAROME! I CANT BELEIVE I SAW IT WRITTEN....  GROK,    DO YOU GROK GROK?  JUST so happens that I have picked up Stranger in a Strange Land for the umteenth time to enjoy after a bit of Mark Twain,,,,

I always go back to that book.  Jubal is my Hero! LOLOLOL

Well that is the same thing I was saying a few post ago.  I mean once you dial in a custom sound, you save it to your bank.  tehn I can just use my toe to turn on whatever I want.  What Beheringer do you have?  I have a GMX 1x12 and a Bugera V5R. Or are you running a Vamp?

HOOO RAY!!!!!

I wonder did they have home owners ins?  I find it amazing that people still dont cover their houses.  The wild fires here in Tx took out so many homes.  a lot of tehm were "extra" lake houses.  the ins is very high for teh homes around the lake.,,, but why would you spend that much money and not insure your home?

Ill bet that family went though 75 dollars in un-needed extras instead of paying about 20.3 cents a day!  man thats chump change.  most people spend that at the bar in one night, or in 3 weekends of drinking cheep beer!

Amy,

I have a bit of all the above.  Boss Is NICE, but pricy.  I have the slighly older Digitech RP250.  I think the 255 would be a great way to go!  I bought my 10yr old a RP70 last year and he just uses the stock settings, has not tried to programme or tweak any of the factory stuff. 

The very cool thing of the RP255 is that he can hook it to his laptop/ desk top and go to the RP website, down load the free X-edit software, and have about 100 different effects at his whim.  they also have downloads of 1000's and I do mean 1000's of user made patches you can down load.

here is the info links:  http://www.digitech.com/en-US/products/rp255  if you dont want to spend that much  look into the 155 or the 70, but the 255 has teh expression pedal.

but for 120 you really cant go wrong.  If he ends up like me he will not want to stop there.  I love a mix of my processor and stomps.  I can set a clean chorused setting on the RP and when I need to boost it for some nastyness in the same song I stomp down on my MXR Full Bore metal. 

also to repeat what someone else mentioned Danelectro makes great stuff for the price.  I even say for starters the FAB line of pedals is good.  I just bought a delay and a chorus for my nephew.  at 15 and 20 bucks,, you really cant complain.  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitar-e … =site1AQBA

When I bought the RP70 for my son, I also bought him a Fab distortion  so he could do what I mentioned above.

As far as power,,, all the stomps run on either an AC adaptor or 9V battery.  ( suggest for starters, get him a big value pack of 9Volts)  On the RP, there is no on off switch, So I have it attached to a short power strip and use its on off button.

Hope this helps.

Much better!

I see you have taken some of the advise from the post. It shows.  Very good Job!!

By Holly sitting closer she is much more audible.  How soft a pick is Shane using?    To make the guitar softer, try lighter pics or even a rubber one. really nice sound that way.

Holly, please dont hide in the shadows, a tad more soft light slightly fwd and overhead will accent but not wash out.

I gave you a thumbs up on your vid.

Rock on!

YOUR DOING GREAT. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING 20 YEARS AND STILL SUCK!  I have only played infront of ppl at church and that was in a setting where i did not have to be perfect. I dont sing and I cant play lead.

If you need help with theory,, I suggest you check out Marty schwartz on you tube, he sells an incredable package for that. (and he is fun to learn from) or Doug Marks Metal method.  Lots of stuff in both items!

this book is good also.   http://www.amazon.com/Arlen-Roths-Heavy … 0028700104
I xeroxed the whole thing,, but it was an earlier version. (pre-scanners!)
It will get you whre you want to be,,,If not you will get some good fundamentals from it.
