Hi Scottley, here is what I consider the most foolproof method:

1. Unplug/disconnect your internal hard drive(s) so that the USB drive is the only drive connected to the computer!!! (this step is not strictly necessary for an advanced user, but doing so eliminates any risk of error such as partitioning or writing GRUB to your internal hard drive)

2. Follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Fresh%20Install

Good luck!
