You could add a switch which adds a higher capacitance in parallel with C3. Label its off position "low cut". The low value of C3 is what is rolling off bass response. Elsewhere, note how 10X bigger 22 nF couplers are used.
It is usual for guitar amps to roll off bass. Fairly aggressive bass roll off is needed, in particular, to achieve "chunky" distortion ...

To some extent, muscle memory will come into play and your finger, whether there is a fret there or not, will "know" where to go.
If the instrument isn't properly adjusted like normal for intonation then you'll have you wander more for the correct pitch.
A half hour with a strobe tuner (meaning, something accurate enough to warrant the time with it) and ...

You can make sure that you're in the ballpark using traditional intonation techniques. Play a 12th fret harmonic on each string, and compare that to a 12th fret "fretted" note. I say "fretted" because, well, there are none. You get the idea.
Use a tuner, and just ensure that you are in the ballpark when fretting right on the 12th fret line (if you have ...

Flatwounds are regular roundwounds that are ground-down, in fact, you usually have to wipe off the excess machining from them before installing or else your fingers will blacken.
Tapewounds are correctly described above.
Tapewounds will ...

I would focus on hardware, not so much on software. Get a decent digital audio interface; you can find some for under $200 USD. You can use pretty much any recording software, such as Audacity which has already been mentioned. I use an Alesis io|2 for example; very simple, just 2 analog channels, midi in/out, and connects to my laptop via USB. With this ...

For windows:
The bare-bones way is to use the microphone or the line-in. I found the line-in to be a better choice, but either way, you need to reduce the amplifier volume to avoid clipping. This volume level will be pretty low, and it is specific to your equipment. After you adjust the amplifier volume, you can then adjust the overall volume on the ...
