    Hi and welcome.

    What kind of music are you into? What gear do you have? We're pretty good at helping folks spend their money.

    Welcome!

    Where are you from?

    Lots of gear talkers and gear buyers here of course!

    Welcome. I'm fairly new to the forum. This is a good group.

    My hook is I'm learning music theory from scratch after 20 years of guitar noodling. To be honest, I wasn't even good with tablature. I used to learn songs the stupid/old-fashioned way by watching, listening and trial-and-error.

    But why grind it out and rely on memory when you can use these amazing cheat sheets encoded with clever lines and dots?

    I also hope to learn more about composition and how music really works.
    Nothing is anything until it is written. After that, it's everything.

    When you figure that out, let me know.

    Hi Spud, I'm looking at amp cabinets right now. I've found a product I'm considering, I'd love for you guys to check it out and give me your opinions! You all have more knowledge/experience than I do, I'm sure. I met these guys through a coworker, and it seems like they have a pretty solid product, but like I said I really have limited experience. What do you guys think? link: http://www.fundable.com/arachnid-amp-cabs-usa
