Just a recomendation on how this would work best and give me a linear volume control (linear sounding).

Most people recomend a linear Pot on the input, and then the center tap to be connected to the 10K resistor. Do I hook it up just like that? Or is there a different way that would work better for a log attenuator.

Ah!
The circuit you show needs a linear taper to get log control because the vol control is in the feedback circuit. The best move would be to return the log taper you have and buy a lin taper.
If that is not possible, you could just use the one you got and see if it works OK, chances are it is acceptable.
Else, I don't know any solution barring replacing the resistors on the controls.

Anybody else has some ideas?
