Topic: Some Play Along Advice
Greetings All,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I've been a guitar player since my teens (I'm now 60) and after years of playing maybe a half hr a month, I started getting serious again about 5 yrs ago. I went to guitar camp...took group lessons at the local community college and took some private lessons. I've been blessed with more money than talent..and managed to accumulate a number of instruments over the yrs. Unfortunately, I had a Fender American Strat, Gibson Les Paul and Epiphone Joe Pass stolen. THAT hurt! I was fortunate my '67 Rickenbacker 365, '62 Fender Jazzmaster, Fender American Telecaster, and Epiphone Casino were in another building and safe! Anyway...I now live in the Mtns of NC and I'm pretty remote and have no opportunity to take community college classes and meet other people I could play with. I am interested in finding something I could play my CDs or MP-3s on and plug my guitars into and jam along to the songs. I currently have a Fender G-DEC 30 and its a pretty cool little amp with lots of different different backing tracks such as blues.....rock....punk....you name it..but I'm looking ffor something a little more diverse...something I can play along to songs with. I noticed in one of the catalogs I get there is a Boss eBand JS 10 Guitar trainer...which might do the trick. Has anyone had any experience with this? I also notice there is Line 6 Spider Jam Amp. Not sure if this is similar to what I already have. Any advice/recommendations anyone could make would be appreciated.
