okay lumberjim...to answer your questions, i mostly play rhythm and sing although i can play the day tripper riff or something like that and sing along to it. when i play at an open mic i bring along my blue sparkle top limited edition gibson les paul, but i dont like that guitar at home because it hurts my back. i used a "Rockwood Pro" (dirt cheap stratocaster wanna-be) for the recording. i love that cheap guitar! it was my first electric and it has nice sound and it's so comfortable... to record the drum machine, bass, rhythm and lead guitars, i used a $99.00 4-track. there was no room for vocals, but then my husband got a computer, so we got Sonar software which has unlimited tracks, effects, etc...i plugged the 4-track into the back of the computer, played it into sonar, went back, added vocals, and using the same program, exported it into a wav. file. my husband's the one who turned it into mp3 somehow. so you could totally turn those cassettes you have into mp3s, just get sonar software for your computer. (some people have been known to pirate it from kazaa)
