        What studio monitors are you using? Like anything else, there is a wide range of choices & prices

        What are the pros & cons as you see them of using software and powered monitors for practice vs a guitar amp?

        I’ve not considered going this route since I don’t use Apple products with Garage Band but with Fender Studio being a free app, I’m looking into that possibility

          Hey Keith,
          I bought a set of small Sterling studio monitors last year to take the place of the desktop computer speakers. These are fine for lessons and playback etc. For serious recording and playing guitar thru, the Adams Audio 7″ sound great. GC has a room set up just to demo monitors. I’m happy playing thru an amp though. 🎸
