Hi Zurf first the tascam porta-05 sells used for around 100 dollars I have google up several if you can get a electric guitar or a mic and hook the unit up and plug into it if you dont have an amp use headphones if its a cassette model pop an empty cassette into it rewind it to the beginning and let it run a few seconds stop and push play record at the same time and sing or play something into it for a minute rewind push play and see if its ok,there are some micro recorders available with 4 track capabilities for around $100 or so Musicians friend has all kinds of used and new equipment also Amazon do some shopping perhaps some other members can offer some more information, a good deal I got is the Phonic PA a 100 watt amp with speakers chords,and a good microphone for $199.00 including shipping the model is a Phonic powerpod 410 I got this from Musicians friend I would check there for all of the things you need at least you can get a good idea what its going to cost and keep it in your budget you may find a better deal someplace else but this will give you a reference to go by other ideas welcome

Thanks Wayne yea a bass adds a lot and helps with freeing your creative jucies playing with backing tracks is a really good way to improve your timing and expression the drum machine (frowned on by some) sharpens your tempo to a razors edge all the bass notes were anticipations which gives it a funky kick but working with other musicians is more rewarding to be sure and if you cant this is the best way for me to go and no arguments plus everyone shows up for the gig

you love the lid yea I got it at a second hand store paid .50 cents (what a deal) I had a ball with this aint nobody around to pick with so I have to play with myself(musicially) glad you enjoyed Scott

http://www.free-download-place.org/auda … 9156694511
next you will need to open a band or artist account with myspace or an account with soundclick both are also free,and finely if you download the audacity program I have a link at the bottom of this post to medifire that has free tutorials on how to use it,everything from the chords you will need from your boss 900 to the computer and how to make a mp3  if you need any help with any of this give a shout here

Steve I wouldn't take all the credit we all have our turns at making noise

Actually they dont need to much practice there very good at it,the reason I did not post the link instead of pasting is for the same reason you posted your scales I wanted you to read it

I'm not promoting socialism but your definition is inaccurate this is from Wikipedia
Socialism refers to any one of various theories of economic organization advocating public or cooperative worker self-ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with a more egalitarian method of compensation.[1][2][3] Modern socialism originated in the late 18th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticized the effects of industrialization and private ownership on society. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution and become the transitional stage from capitalism to communism.[4][5]

The utopian socialists, including Robert Owen, tried to found self-sustaining socialist communities within a capitalist society. Henri de Saint Simon, the first individual to coin the term socialism, was the original thinker who advocated technocracy and industrial planning. The first socialists predicted a world improved by harnessing technology and combining it with better social organization, and many contemporary socialists share this belief.[6][7] Early socialist thinkers tended to favor an authentic meritocracy combined with rational social planning, while many modern socialists have a more egalitarian approach.

Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, creates an unequal society, and does not provide equal opportunities for everyone in society. Therefore socialists advocate the creation of a society in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly based on the amount of work expended in production, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how and to what extent this could be achieved.

Socialism is not a concrete philosophy of fixed doctrine and program; its branches advocate a degree of social interventionism and economic rationalization, sometimes opposing each other. Another dividing feature of the socialist movement is the split between reformists and the revolutionaries on how a socialist economy should be established. Some socialists advocate complete nationalization of the means of production, distribution, and exchange; others advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy. Socialists inspired by the Soviet model of economic development have advocated the creation of centrally planned economies directed by a state that owns all the means of production. Others, including Yugoslavian, Hungarian, German and Chinese Communists in the 1970s and 1980s, instituted various forms of market socialism, combining co-operative and state ownership models with the free market exchange and free price system (but not free prices for the means of production).[8]

Social democrats propose selective nationalization of key national industries in mixed economies, with private ownership of property and of profit-making business. Social democrats also promote tax-funded welfare programs and regulation of markets. Many social democrats, particularly in European welfare states, refer to themselves as "socialists", introducing a degree of ambiguity to the understanding of what the term means.

Libertarian socialism (including social anarchism and libertarian Marxism) rejects state control and ownership of the economy altogether and advocates direct collective ownership of the means of production via co-operative workers' councils and workplace democracy

Steve whats your point? it seems you are trying to rationalize your reasons for the same topic you opened in the Chordie editors forum of charging a fee for your input my response is the same no, that's why we have a theory forum it would be no different if I charged to download all the Audacity  tutorials I offer free and to date over a thousand downloads have been served by my mediafire account free to members plus several hundred photos and mp3's of original material as I see it there will always be sites that charge for lessons or services but Chordie is special its like family,I see nothing wrong with making a buck if we had a classified forum perhaps all manner of merch could be offered to members from lessons to instruments and even links to songs for sale but since all advertising for lessons is paid for at present it seems unlikely.

Don't feel alone I live in Wisconsin and I cant access them either last I checked its still part of the union
