Anyone remember 20 years ago where a simple little project like this would've been damn near impossible to do. We would have had to record on a four track, send tapes across the county remix and bump down the tracks with each addition. We would end up with half the quality in 200 times the amount of time we can do this.
It really is amazing how far everything has come in that amount of time. To think of the resources that young guitar players have at their fingertips is really kind of mind boggling. I remember subscribing to magazines just to get one or two little lessons a month, because there were no guitar teachers within 50 miles of me. Just playing along to the radio, well trying to play along with the radio and figure out how to play. Now we have backing tracks to practice endlessly to instead of trying to actually find 3 other musicians that can play with and all from our chairs planted in front of our computers. Not to mention wonderfull teachers like robert who put forth their time to help us out.
It makes me wonder if i would have been more or less interested in the guitar if i had had these kind of resources when i started playing, and how much more or less accomplished i would have become..
Either way i am loving it all now..
