Of course you won't be doing any commercial band radio work with it but who cares? Should be the perfect thing for a committed tweaker but there are definitely a few tricks to learn.Have you used a scope before?
I second the X 10 probe comment since much of audio signaling occurs at at a pretty low level it helps make what you see seem bigger. Some important concepts to master, and it may take a while to truly master these things: scope ground circuit ground referencing, dialing in and triggering on stuff. Once you can do that and you have something to go look at boom off to the races.
It might behoove you to play around with some gear you care less about first since scope probe tips make great short circuits and a misplaced one can bring even the best designed circuit to the grave or worse yet fires, exploding components etc.
Also don't forget the safety part. I don't know of anyplace in the world where it is a good idea to go sticking you body parts into high voltage AC circuitry that is supplying most gear.
