Pondering the Imponderable

Looks like today has the makings of a slow news day. Sooo . . . in non-gaming-related news, I've been trying to learn to play the guitar as I mentioned on Tuesday. I'm pretty impressed with the wealth of information on the Internet for lessons, guitar specs and reviews, etc. I even tried playing my friend's electric through my SoundBlaster Live! Value. It gives pretty decent chorus, reverb, and distortion effects. I can't get the flanger or auto-wah to work very well. All in all, it really isn't a substitute for some good pedals, but it works pretty nicely for us poor folks.

Oh, and I taught myself my first song: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Eric Idle from the movie The Life of Brian. :)
