I love my Axe FX 3 and the tones it came with. Its kept me occupied for weeks. I want to progress my knowledge though and to do so I have mimic'ed my approach in the real physical world for the last 30 years which was whenever I get a new pedal or amp I unplug everything else and just play with the new pedal for a few hours - basically twiddle every knob to see what happens and get some sounds I like. If I like the pedal enough hard choices would be made as to what pedal gets removed from my pedalboard to make way for the new gadget. And then I would figure out where to put it in the chain and spend a day unplugging and reconnecting everything, velcro. connecters etc.
This approach doesn't work when you in one day get a few hundred amps, cabs and pedals thrown at you, Its overwhelming and can get a little frustrating to be honest. I just want to play guitar and get sweet sounds and not earn a recording engineer degree (although if I had time I would love too).
My question is this. For you guys who have been twiddling with the FX2 for years and now the 3, do you have a sequence or knowledge blocks you would follow to build up your AX knowledge in a fun way thats not overwhelming.
When we learnt to play guitar we started with chords, then scales, the basics and built on that. Does anyone have a reference guide or something that builds up in blocks of knowledge. I have used the manual, wiki etc. buts its not very sequential. I am waiting for Coopers video tutorial which might be the resource I am looking for.
