The new G3 - man I wish... :-). It would be fun to share licks though.
If you connect the Zoom G5 to your PC, it acts as the interface. That's the cool part! You would just need audio recording software. If computers aren't your strong suit, it might help to have somebody help you with that. It's not rocket science, but it can be daunting the first time out. Do you have experience with multitrack recording, like with a Portastudio or anything? If so, that's good because you wouldn't have to overcome those hurdles.
I'm off to the "hard to handle" lesson to start on the first solo. I'm hoping it isn't a slog! Mike O. does the lesson and he breaks it down so even I can get it :-). He's got my back!
I'll keep y'all posted.
Good luck axe on getting setup again!
