Was just wondering what people thought of things like this, and if anyone has any experience with connecting a electric guitar to a piano VST.

Personally myself I would be happy if I could make any music from anything ..

I know the purest wouldn't like it but to me its' fine

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Differnet instruments exist for different reasons. What's good music is up to the artist, not the instrument.

I don't see guitars going away anytime soon, but I do see huge potential for all kinds of digital innovations in music.

I don't think there's any right or wrong, but like Kingpatzer said, "I do see huge potential for all kinds of digital innovations in music."

But - what about bending and holding a note? Vibrato? Surely that should be down to technique rather than programming?

I can understand someone with a digital keyboard using a setting to change it to, say, a Hammond organ, Electric piano, Clavinet, Harpsichord etc....those are all keyboard instruments anyway - but to use a keyboard to play guitar seems somehow, well, just wrong....

Just my opinion - like I said, there's no absolutes.....

:D :D :D

You cant use none of that. So far noone managed to create a guitar synth so samples are used. I use Virtual Guitarist for creating backings to practice playing over, but I can see this develop into something more flexible some day. The advantages would be obvious: being able to play complicated rhythm guitar and lead guitar at the same time and the ability to play much wider chord voicings, as with a piano. Vibrato/bending would be possible using a pitch wheel or expression pedal. Was just wondering how people look at that development. :)
