Hey Steve, have you played musicLab's realGuitar, RealLPC or RealStrat? That's probably the most convincing guitar engine i've heard, specially when ran through some good guitar fx pedals or plugs. If you've heard/used them, what do you think of them?

We're miles away from capturing the versatility of a real guitar. I know this because I can't play guitar and keep looking for convincing ones. Phil is one of those musicians who plays many instruments at professional standard, I'm sure the drums would be real if he had the right acoustic sounding room to set them up in. The guitars are real and the bass guitar is also real, however, he has a digital wife that he simply plugs in and she sings in perfect pitch with auto quantising. I just can't help myself, I start off seriously enough? well, off to get my brain defragged.
