Welcome to the world of Geek
Guitar! If you’ve already geeked up your rig, this is the course you’ve been
drooling for. If you have no idea what Geek Guitar is all about, this is the
course that will seriously alter your guitar consciousness. In either case,
a warning is in order … the material in Geek Guitar is highly addictive and
will likely lead to extended leaves of absence from family, friends and
work.
The Geek Guitar community has
exploded over the past year largely due to better, faster, and more
affordable software and hardware. Today, tens of thousands of players, from
novice to pro, are geeking up their world for recording, performance and
composing. And it’s no longer rocket science
– any non-technical player can immediately put these technologies to work with
outstanding results.
 Geek
Guitar is a comprehensive series of plain-language tutorials covering
recording, notation and live performance technologies for guitarists. Our
resident Geekness, Marc Schonbrun will show you how to easily record your
guitar into a computer (with and without midi), tap into thousands of
effects and amp simulations, lay down any type of instrument track using
your guitar, layer in loops of any variety and tweak all to your hearts
delight. In short, you’ll learn how to create professional sounding songs
with you playing all of the instruments on a single guitar.
Geek Guitar shows you how to notate (in tab and
standard notation) anything you play on the guitar instantly and error free.
You can even “play” your composition back to you. Use this to notate your
favorite riffs, progressions, songs or full-blown compositions.
 Finally,
you’ll be introduced to performance technologies that will absolutely blow
your mind. Imagine walking into any recording or live gig with just your
laptop and a guitar, plugging into the board or the PA system, and having
every conceivable tone, effect, amp and cabinet simulation at your
fingertips. That’s Geek Guitar!
The days of
expensive, complicated solutions with poor tracking and limited features are
long gone. Geek Guitar covers what we
consider to be the best solutions for both PC and Mac:
Sonar Home Studio - a
complete Audio/MIDI recording application for Windows XP;
GarageBand
– a complete Audio/MIDI recording
application for OS X;
Sibelius G7 – tab, notation and publishing solution
for Windows XP and OSX;
Roland GI-20 – converts guitar signal to MIDI
through USB;
Guitar Rig 2 – the ultimate computer based effects and modeling
solution; and Brian Moore’s iGuitar –
optimized for USB and Midi connections.
IMPORTANT NOTE! You DO NOT need a new or
special guitar to start geeking. For example, Guitar Rig 2 comes with its
own floorboard that you connect to with a regular guitar cable and then
connect the pedal to your computer. For midi, it’s as simple as attaching a
Roland GK to your guitar and then running it through the GI-20. If any of
this seems a bit confusing to you, fear not … its all explained in Geek
Guitar in plain language. |
