RE: What is it that you are not exactly getting?

All of those! I have built a lot of gear over the last 15 years the same way a carpenter builds a house, by reading the plans. Designing an amp may be rocket science, but building one from a good schematic is not. Craftsmanship, paying attention to the schematic and being careful where you put your pinkies are the most important things.
I never had an opportunity to learn how to use a scope. A few years ago I bought one and decided I would learn how to use it. It's proving to be a bigger challenge than I thought for lack of good reference material on trouble shooting with a scope. Lots of info on things like measuring voltages and frequencies, etc, but so far I have found no step by step methods for trouble shooting.
I have been able to use it and the signal generator to trace a signal through an amp to find out where there was a problem, and that helps a lot but it has its limits. I want to get more proficient with it but I don't want to just fumble around blindly if there are tutorials available. The links you posted above look promising and I will be going through them. Thanks!
