“ Excellent. Jim comes across very sincere and down to earth in these 'MainStage-Creating Guitar Rigs' tutorials. I found them to be very clear and very thorough as he takes you through step by step. I've only had to watch the videos once and now I'm right on top of the program. Cheers! ”

“ A solid basic overview of what you can do with Main Stage using your Guitar, and Rigs. I enjoyed the down to earth approaches that will help any one who is not familiar with this over looked powerhouse, to help you prepare for those: gigs, home recordings, experimentation and lets not forget those special Live Shows, or maybe even a rehearsal hall with a new group band members. I'm pleased to know that Jim, has taken the essence of Main Stage and put forth it's wonder qualities in a straight forward user friendly approach. ”
