There are too many great guitar players on this forum (whom I've worked with) that can give me much better tracks than I can play on a keyboard. Since I'm a hobbyist, I have no deadlines that make this tool "necessary".

I'm sure it will work for many others though. Especially at this price.

It's only a deal if it's usable. This sounds really bad.

Sounds like a keyboard player trying to sound like a guitar player?

Sounds like a keyboard player trying to sound like a guitar player ... in 1986!

Use your own amp software. You then have a clean sound and can just use the tools and then it won't sound really bad.

It may not sound that bad, but bad enough that it's unusable for anybody trying to create realistic guitar parts. Granted it's only $20 but what's the point if it's going to sound like the patches on a cheap Casio toy keyboard.

For 20 dollars it would be great if you had nothing else. But compared to EEG it really is of no interest.

It's nice the purchase requires some steps ... it gives you time to think.

I clicked "Buy now" .... I didn't see if it's possible to download the product ... so I continued to find out ... I wasn't sure if it's possible to pay via PayPal .... so I continued ... When I was on the final page, having filled in my adress info etc., and I saw that I can't download, and shipping costs another 20 $, nor use PayPal I also had changed my mind .... I don't need it.

I'm not 100 % sure but it seems that they don't charge you for the shipment?
Total cost with International shipment still only = $20.
 
 
 
 
IF not.... otherwise it will cost me another extra $20 for UPS EUROPE-shipment. I think it still worth it! Tried the DEMO, great software, especially together with Guitar Rig 5 or other AMP plugin.

A BIG +1 to that brother.
I almost ordered this till I went and heard the samples.
If that's the best they can do, and they KNOW all the tricks to make it sound good then they still need to do some work on this.


At this point this should be offered as free wear.


Around the Northeast here, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a guitar player willing to lay down some tracks for ya.

It's a digital download. Size less than 10MB compressed.
Took ten seconds to get...

Note! I got a confirmation mail with a serial and a nice "thank you"-letter from AAS.  AUDIOMIDI do deliver AAS Electric Strum product electronic/download to Europe users, no box version so final cost is only $20.
 
 
Hope it helps!

Yeah, I think some of the basic chords sound OK, but those lead lines simply don't have enough nuance to sound realistic, IMO. If you're going to fake guitar on a keyboard, may as well make it interestin'…

Must give credit to the guy (pun intended)  that first used this technique. (AFAIK)
Guy Babylon, later became Elton John's keyboard player but tragicaly died of heart attack 2nd september 2009.
This recording was the contest winner in Keyboard Magazine reader tape contest in March 1987...
No guitars, just keys...
