I got a lot of newbie/noob question to ask, but since i had tumpang enough, i think it would be easier if i open a thread to ask them.

1)is there anything accessory i can plug into my microcube to connect the output to my ear phone? so that i can play at night too.

2)there is some cable to connect the output to pc right? I assume sweat.gif if yes where can i get it?

3)What is the tuning fork in my micro cube setting for? I can actually tune an amp?

...forgot some of my questions ady, will update if i recall them.

1) If your earphone is the typical Ipod earphone (3.5mm), go get (Best Denki, Harvey Norman... and what-not etc etc...) a 1/4 inch -> 3.5mm adapter. Something like this lar:
http://www.amazon.com/inch-Male-3-5mm-Fema...r/dp/B000V1R92U

2) Err... I guess an adapter would do.

3) It's for you to tune your guitar lar lolx! I think it plays an A note, and try comparing the A note on the amp to your A string. laugh.gif

The adapter will connect your amp to the line-in of the sound card. You can get these in some electrical shops, if you're looking for an easier place to get them, there's in a shop in SungeiWang selling them. Then you can get the cables(3.5mm extension) in lowyat if you want.

4> the sixth string in C

It's normal... what I would suggest doing is practise with a metronome. Start really slow and then keep increasing the speed as time goes with an incremental of 3bpm. But do ensure that you're able to play the exercise cleanly before moving to the next speed, otherwise you would end up bringing the mistake/sloppiness forward.
