I'm new to all this as well. I spend half the day here it seems soaking up information and then go out into the real world and try to talk like I know something, and my friends who have been playing guitar for decades look at me like they have no idea what I'm talking about. They say, do this, do that, hook it all together and it works. No long explainations, just do it.

I got my first electric back in June. I just wanted to keep it simple too. But then I learned about slap back delay, quickly I had to have a spring reverb to go with it, then I needed a Boss Blues Driver to fill it all out. Now I have a whole board full of them and I'm looking at a fuzz pedal. Resistance is futile. Once you actually get started it isn't that confusing unless you want to make it so, but really it isn't.
