I wouldn't mind the theory but I wouldn't be able to stick to lessons in any regular pattern (currently) so I plan on holding back on formal lessons. I am hoping I will benefit more having some frustration under my belt too.
I have the cable and have figured out that I need an ASIO4ALL driver but I am having a few hangups still. My speakers aren't too loud which is my biggest drawback.
Thank you for the advice. Rocksmith has been fun so far but I feel like I'm making up too much which is fine for a game but probably not for long term learning/progression.
I am leaning towards the Boss Mini Katana 7 watt amp. Seems affordable and feature-rich.
You made me Google (and learn) some new things and I thank you for that.
It is more fun when it sounds right.
