ok, first of all, I have no idea how to record onto my computer. and secondly, in the live situation I'm not going to be able to have a backing track. and I haven't decided whether to do vocals or not, I really suck at singing, but the song that I would play would be a really boring song without any vocals..
but what you said about tabbing out the chords sounds good, I will definately do that.
