zZounds Music Shop - Synth Buying Guide

The guitar, whether electric, bass, or acoustic, is a popular instrument to learn how to play.  As a general find, the guitar is an emphasized instrument alongside vocals and other instrumentals.  The drums are also popular and seemingly easy to pick up in the learning process, especially if you can maintain a beat from the first lesson on.  The piano and keyboard, in my opinion, are not quick to study and therefore take time, dedication, and daily practice to master each note into song.  This take of course is true across the board.  The piano, though, is not quite as popular in such genres as classic rock, hard rock, pop, and so on.  I associate the piano with classical music and perhaps instrumental jazz mainly.  The keyboard offers more leniency.

And then there is the synth - an added layer to music that changes the dynamic of sound, expression, and reaction as well as conception in the recording studio where everything is coming together to what listeners ultimately hear and consider in interest.  Learning the finite details of the synth is complicated with so much involved.  A novice student can learn and master but patience is key.  I would rather guess the synthesizer coming naturally to those with a technical and musical bent.  I am not one.  However in this post, I am offering a synth buying guide for those with piqued curiosity and want to dabble in.
