Have been playing around with this application, I have an immediate need for a song I'm working on. I used Acou6tic guitar but I'm not happy with the results.
 
I found that not only can you modify the 102 patterns that are already set up, but you can store them in the patterns section and call them up in Sonar. Not only change patterns, but tempo (multiples of Sonar's tempo), change the pattern so it fits 3/4, 4/4, etc.

I've been playing around with it this morning. It sounds great and all but as far as I can see you can't use your own patterns.
It's not MIDI based like RealGuitar. I think it has over a hundred recorded patterns played by a very good guitarist which would explain the ~8GB download.

I'll use it, but I guess I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Thanks, I will certainly be passing in that case, at least for the time being. IMHO Orange Tree's Stratosphere strum engine sets the bar for versatility and an intuitive interface, and that engine will be used in a free update to their acoustic package "Steel Strings" which I already own.

I listened to the demos and compared them to Pettinhouse AG2, which I already have. I think the NI guitar samples sound lovely, and the patterns are very nice. I'm not sure how easy it is to build your own patterns. The manual pretty much glosses over this aspect. AG2's pattern engine is very easy to use. AG2 also is more versatile as it includes picking and fingering vs only strumming.
 
Bottom line, I'm a sucker for a good sounding VST, but I'll likely wait on this one as AG2 covers all of the bases and sounds pretty good as well.

I had missed this one somehow but think I will end up getting the Pettinhouse AG2 Dan. Looks like a good buy at $69 too.
Thanks for mentioning it on here.

You're welcome. His basses are quite good as well. My other favorites come from OrangeTree.
