| If focusing only on sheet music as a beginner you run the risk of rewiring yourself into becoming a carbon based playback devise . If that isn't your intention I suggest you start by exploring the tools of expression the Stick brings - for any music, composed or improvised. I'm a total beginner too ... |

| Lots of fine logical and mathematical explanations given. Myself I'm on my fourth day with 12 stringed MR STick here and my approach is to play, listen, explore and memorize. I like to start imagining scales, melodies and chords in order to find out where they are on the Stick (rather than coming at... |

| Fantastic pictures! And of course fantastic instruments. Since I recently got my first stick I just love the bamboo/PASV4 sound and feel. When I can afford a back-up I will definitely go for one of the most spectacularly dyed bamboo grands. A practical point is that it may be handy to have the inlay... |

| run some of your favourite artists through a frequency analyzer (I use Waves PAZ or Wavelab) and then compare your own tracks. This is a fairly simple way of pinpointing which frequencies might be missing or too prominent. Good point there! Since I read you already have Logic around you may do this... |

Gustavo,
Thanks for bringing up the Bose here! (I asked about that in another thread, but I guess you didn't read there?) I have two Bose questions:
1) Do you think you would need an extra bass element at a larger venue?
2) What about amplifying a stereo signal? |

| Thanks for posting this link. I love that guy's attitude! It seems this was recorded as he was trying out a Bose system. Has anyone of you on this board tried a Stick with a Bose system? I guess two bass elements would bee needed with the Stick? One thing that makes me a little hesitant with the Bos... |
