Thanks for the advice Buda. I have been checking out my guitar and I think it is in worse shape than I thought. There is some extreme buzzing on a couple of strings, the low E and the G I believe, but on different spots on the neck. In a way I hope it is messed up so I have no choice but to buy a new guitar, but it is my first guitar...I am very happy with my Line 6 Flextone amp. I have been thinking about some recording software for a little while now, and sounds like a good investment. Especially since I have to write a song in my guitar class and play a lead over it. I think I like the sound of getting a drum machine, along with the rest of your suggestions. Thanks Buda and any ideas on what can be wrong with my guitar?
