For a thousand bucks you can build a pretty sweet system.
$350 or so for the digital recorder... http://www.amazon.com/Fostex-MR-16HD-16 … amp;sr=8-1
Another $300 or so for studio monitors and stands

That leaves you about $350 for microphones.
Mic pack including stand and XLR: $150.

Which leaves you about $200 for beer and lava lamps.

I second that!!!! Its perverse, amusing and disgusting. The only problem I can see is most folks try to avoid seeing, hearing or possessing a Babbling Sphincter
Yeah, but think of the album cover art!
I just picked up two of the greatest films of all time in the discount bin at the grocery store.

Justin Townes Earle. Steve Earle's son. The kid is amazing, and a better songwriter than his old man. And that's saying something.
Alan wrote this marvelous little two chord fingerpicking ditty and the 1st verse. The rest is a result of beer and an affection for trains.

Guttermouth.
And since when is Greenday punk?
I have one. I compose on one. I use it as MIDI input to my sequencer programs.
But you'd be hard pressed to say I "play" one.
I would still like to see a classified forum for members wishing to sell trade anything
I'd second that motion.
I don't know where he goes at the 2:30 mark, but I wish I could go there, too. I don't think Jonas Helborg has done anything remotely as good as this since Shawn died. And Jonas is one of the all time monster players.
Anyway, this stuff leaves me breathless.
The circle of fifths is the only tattoo I've ever considered. I'd put it on the inside of my left forearm. Permanent cheat sheet. 
And Russ, as far as chord progressions go...

My question seemed straightfoward at the time. they always do
My problem is that I'm practising scale patterns using a C Blues chord progression on a backing track which my tutor gave me
A OK. So I'm guessing you're playing a 12 or 16 bar blues in C, which would be C F and G or G7, yes?
If that's the case, then A minor is definitely what you want. A minor is the relative minor scale for C major. You can have a whole lot of fun bending the life out of the strings with that minor pentatonic.
You can also play around with E phrygian ove C as it will give you a bit of a different "minor" sound and you can do some interesting things there.
Well, it depends. A "blues scale" can be any number of different things. Sometimes it means a minor with a flattened 5th. Sometimes it just means a minor pentatonic. It's not really a defined scale.
So my advice comes from soemthing the OP said, about it being "jolly," which I took as meaning "major."
So if he's modifying C major to get his "blues" scale, then A minor will go well over it. If he's using some form of C minor scale as his "blues" scale, then Eb major would go well with it, as C minor is the relative minor of Eb.
Start with A minor. It's the relative minor for C major. Pentatonics work well where you're at.
Metronome. Practice with it every day.
Hey! That worked! * pats self on back *
I'll see what I can do about a title change. I try to take a hands off approach, so I must admit some inexperience with the tools.
If you can create a keyboard diagram, I think that's really useful.
I think it's much easier to show using a keyboard, where you can break things down into white keys and black keys, to demonstrate how the key signature and the "number of sharps/flats" all make sense. The fretboard can be a frightening thing sometimes!
Anyway, I'm all in favor of good diagrams and pictorial representations of stuff so if you want to keep generating those, feel free to keep posting them.
I'm a stickler for accuracy. This has nothing to do with "jealousy" and everything to do with "promotion of accurate information." Those that aren't may find that a bit prickly.
I'd also like to say that my role here to date has not been in a moderator mode, it's been as a user and consumer of chordie content, just like yours. The moderator role is purely to ensure that the discussion remains civil. It's perfectly fine to disagree, discuss, and argue. In fact, it's expected, and something that I encourage.
I think these diagrams are quite useful, and I'm pleased to see this thread turned in that direction.
Well I hope those of a pedantic nature go back to their little world, soon, and let the rest of us enjoy this site for the reasons we signed-up to Chordie. I,m certainly looking forward to a plain language explanation to music theory that is being offered. so give the guy a break,PLEASE.
There is a difference between pedantic and just being wrong. A plain language explanation should, at a minimum, be accurate, don't you think?
You can say what you want but I am an expert and that's that. I bet I have been playing more years than you were born!
If this was an class on being an English major I might have used those COOL words, but I like to speak so others can understand.
The way you stated this previously is just another way of saying exactly what I said, just in a different way.
Well, no.
The measure of an expert is accuracy. And the statement "B up to the very next note is C and not B#," fundamentally, is wrong. It is *not* a basic rule. It is an artifact of how scales are built and is only true for certain keys. While in practical application on the fretboard (most of us will never use those keys where it is relevant) that does not make it "true."
Theory exists apart from any particular instrument. And as a science of intervals, we should try to be as accurate as possible in the words we use, so as to avoid confusion. This is particularly true when we risk propagating falsehoods learned by rote ("there is no B#") rather than understanding how scales are derived, and what that means for particular intervals.
The notes that "exist" are entirely dependent on the key that you play in. Sometimes B# is real. There are at least seven different modal scales that contain it derived from C# major.
If this were a class on theory, you would be marked wrong on your statement.
Well, I think the point that Toney and myself were making is that self described "experts" may want to be cautious with statements like "B up to the very next note is C and not B#," which is only true for some keys, but not all. There was a bit of discussion in another thread on this topic that I think satisfactorily explained why C/B# or F/E# is really an issue with notation. http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12160
There is a rote level of understanding that personally I try to avoid, and blanket statements like the one above don't really help to gain understanding of theory, just the more common artifacts of theory.
Generalized it would state "The interval between the leading tone and the tonic is a half step, regardless of key."

This may sound like a stupid question, but do I send them the audiocity version or the converted mp3?
Export them as WAVs and send them that. It's a lot more file to move, but you don't lose any fidelity.
I'd be interested in seeing what I can do with Reaper.
I got a chuckle out of it.
So, if I'm playing something in the key of C sharp major, what is the next note up from B?
The best three things you can do are
Practice.
Practice.
and
Practice.
If you have video editing, you may find that the audio track from the video is recorded separately from the video signal. If you have a digital camcorder, you should be able to open up the video for editing, and simply copy the audio directly out of the application.
Another option is to play the video and record the audio output separately.
