Is there a good Samaritan out there who might be willing to help me explain the basics of home recording to aspiring dobro/Weissenborn guitarists on the discussion board of my web site?

Here's the scoop: I recently launched a discussion board on my web site http:// which is geared toward aspiring dobro/Weissenborn guitarists. I am finding out that many folks are interested in home recording but are at the "jumping off" phase and don't know a USB port from a AD/DA converter.

The discussion board http:// includes a section on home recording. I don't have enough knowledge or background to explain this stuff, but I am hoping some generous soul would be willing to explain the very basics - what basic components/equipment you need to get started with home recording.

Should anyone by willing/able to help I would be most appreciative!

Best regards,
