Nothing beats the real thing. If you are a guitar player you will know this. The way it sounds, the way you connect with it, the fact thats its tone and range can be felt in your body (especially acoustic), and the fact that its more impressive. Im sure there are people who will buy this app that are the guitar hero types. Never learned to play. And like the idea of being able to control a real sounding guitar digitally. Thats all fine and dandy. Im speaking to actual players here and Ill say that this is the BEST sounding and user friendly guitar app around. The maker captured a good sound and a way to play that has your strumming hand doing what it would already be doing on a real guitar. I used it already to write a song. Not sure what guitar was used to record the sound. I play a martin acoustic and after playing with the EQ was able to get a warmer sound that comes close to the deeper tone of my Martin. They really do give you a lot for the price. I can tell the maker was passionate about this. I was even able to play an alternated thumb bass finger picking style which other guitar apps made impossible. Although there are in app purchases for a few bucks I would have paid $20 for the app alone. I do have ONE request. Make an alternate tunings feature. Allowing us to have the guitar tuned to DADGAD, DADFAD, open G open C etc. THAT would make this priceless!!
