AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, USE THAT GODDAMNED CONDOM!

Yeah, especially if you're carving out an f-hole!

The vamp2 was one of the things I concidered. I compared the Johnson J-Station, the pod, the digitechs, etc. along with the Berhringer. In terms of cost and features, the vamp2 seemed mighty attractive. It and the J-Station were my front runner choices... but in the end I wound up getting a Korg ToneWorks AX1500G and am VERY happy that I did. I read too many negatives about the vamp2 in various customer reviews (arriving D.O.A., flimsy plastic, etc.) The Korg is about $70 more than the vamp2 but it has built-in footswitches and an expression pedel... plus it's made of metal vs. plastic for the vamp2. The Korg website has a real or wmv VIDEO demo if you want to check it out.

i do it the old fasioned way...sheet music when i have it....by ear when i don't.i have been considering one of those things that slow it down without changing the pitch though.

Yeah, same here but I usually need digital help for things like a Holdsworth guitar solo . The winamp plug-ins I mentioned do the "slow it down without changing the pitch" and the A-B repeater is nice so that you don't have to manually stop and "rewind" the mp3 on those difficult sections. I don't know what's available for Macs or Linux. These plug-ins are nice because they are FREE and I don't have to buy a separate device like a "Tascam CDGT1 Portable CD Guitar Trainer." I was just wondering if others here knew of something "better" or more convienient than the winamp plug-ins. Thanks again!

I'm using winamp 2 (classic) with "Wu-ty's winamp A-B repeater" and the "Roni Music Slow Me Down" plug-ins. Anyone know any "better" software mp3 solutions? Free is preferable Thanks!
