    Watch out Dave. There is two different versions of L&M Guitar. The cheap one has only 10 DVD disks, but the expensive one has 20. There is also an older version with SD video, and a newer Gibson version with HD video. The instruction is the same, but don't cheat yourself by getting a good deal on half the material.

    Thanks Andy.   As per @Eracer_Team-DougH  Doug's comment, it was referencing Long and McQuade...   I guess on this site I should be more specific..  ?

    @Dave  Hi Dave; So, after working with the recording gear for a month or so, I can say that the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 "Studio" kit (with the interface, headphones and mic) is a very good way to go. The gear is very well built, connectors, cables, switches, knobs etc. all good quality. There is basically no "latency" (lag time between input and record/monitoring)  The mic is quite sensitive and gets good response,, and I like the headphones which are very clear, light and comfortable to wear.  .....

    Thanks Neil...

    So after a couple of days doing the research I have followed in your footsteps, ordered the same 2i2 and downloaded Reaper.  

    My stuff is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

    I Found Kenny Gioia on YouTube, he has some really good instructional videos on Reaper.

    Well, after a month or so of struggling.....

    So Neil,   In summary what are your overall thoughts.  I see L&M are still showing out of stock but saw it on amazon dot ca at what looks like a good price.

    was thinking of jumping in.  If I am going to learn how to play this dam thing being able to record and listen to my problems might be a good idea.   I might not be a musician but I am a computer guy so the hardware/software side should be okay.   What did L&M have it on sale for?

    @Dave Congratulations on a superb job ! A beautiful custom piece to be very proud of.  So let's hear it too??.

    The main reason for the build was to provide myself with the incentive to learn to play the guitar well enough that I would be willing to play in front of someone.   I have been procrastinating for years.  It seems to be working, I am actually putting in some serious practice time.  Still a long from my goal.

    Great project @Dave ! We' d love to see the finished product! Perhaps you'd like to connect with @Old Guy

    Regards; Neil 

    I Took a look at @Old Guy ‘s YouTube video (part 1j, looking good, how is it going?  Is there a part 2 yet?

    this was my first attempt.  I am Thinking of trying a TC thinline next.

    I think I will give it a try.  Found a couple of other ones but this seems the most promising.  Some others require a “subscription”,  some have not been updated in a long time,  the developers of this one seem responsive and it’s just a one time payment.

    all I am looking for is an app to provide incentive to practice on a regular basis and the ability to look back at what I practiced and for how long...  with the ability to add comments.

    I was not thinking of going across the border I was just thinking of splitting shipping costs.

    It would not work as well as it does for us at the tennis club where we have the advantage of getting together on a regular basis.

    as an example, we placed a joint order with tennis warehouse.  If I had placed an order for just what I wanted, shipping was going to be $60.  A joint order between 4 of us ended up costing $80. My share at $20 netted me a saving of $40.   A couple of us wanted the same product so we scooped a quantity discount that netted me another $10.   So I ended up saving $50.

    Just a thought....   For us Canadian Dwellers... 

    I have bought a couple of items from "Steve's Store".   There have been other times where I would have liked too but the shipping costs just puts it way out of range...   

    I am also a tennis player and members of our club will from time to time put in a joint order from US Vendors thereby splitting shipping costs.   Works well for us because we all regularly meet in person at the club.  Was just wondering if something like that might work here.

    I used “closed cell foam” (aka weather strip) to cover the areas that the guitar contacts the stand. I Mounted the Dunlop pick holder on the top by cutting slots in the top for it to slide onto.  Used some scrap metal for the kneck support front and mounted another piece under the back of the head to accommodate the magnetic clip I am using to hold a sheet of music.   It was all cut from one 36 inch by 12 inch 3/4 inch piece of pine.  My original sketch was used as a guide....

    Now if I could only play the guitar as well as it looks sitting on its stand...  ;-)
