    Here are the guitar techniques I would like to make with guitar vst:

    Switch Toggling
    Whammy Bar Bending
    Whammy Bar Vibrato
    Chicken Picking
    Dive Bombs

    MusicLab's RealGuitar series easier to make a sound as they provide many more articulations and tutorials, but it doesn't sound real.
    Ample Sound provides better sound quality, but the number of articulations is a few. Plus, there are not so many tutorials how to make a sound like MusicLab's.
    Evolution Strawberry have the same issue with Ample Sound.
    Any ideas?

    Switch Toggling - EQ bypass toggle
    Whammy Bar Bending - vibrato, pitchbend
    Whammy Bar Vibrato - vibrato plugin amount and speed automation
    Chicken Picking - layering, amplitude ADSR
    Dive Bombs - pitch shifter, pitch bend

    Hi, Baxter.
    Are you talking about RealGuitar Keyswitches? Are there any example videos for them?

    He's talking about general effects that you can apply to simulate these articulations.

    Emulating the whammy bar is very difficult, I once read a thread somewhere. I think a couple of ampsims have a whammy bar emulator, could be Overloud TH3. I think it's as hard to do dive bombs.

    My advice would be to begin with a good wah-wah/pitch-shifter/vibrato effect. I know (the whammy bar effect) it's a different thing but try to get the closest with it.

    I'm very interested in learning this too.

    Somehow, I can't afford it now. That's why I began this thread. I really want to practice my guitar.

    Great. Can you address which amp simulators can do besides TH3?
    Thanks!

    I was talking about processing post said guitar plugin. But I much prefer using a real guitar and advice you to play/practice the real thing as soon as you can afford it.

    Btw, I think there's an unwritten internet rule regarding lengthy signature images. Especially ones containing dogs or cats. :rofl:

    I'll be straight to the point. You ain't getting realistic ones of these using midi / fx. Simple as that.

    If you wanna fly you gotta get in the cockpit, a flight simulator can't take you there.

    Contrar, mon ami. Based on my understanding that it is "virtually" impossible to mimic a guitar being played, the only answer is to pick up a guitar and play. If the OP had asked how to keep a raw egg from breaking if thrown with force onto a concrete sidewalk I would have answered similarly.

    Actually, your post was off topic. :mates:

    Find a guitar player and buy him a 12 pack.

    what it seems you are wanting to do is get the expression of a real guitar player in a plugin. fat chance! suffice to say there are some things your not gonna get a plug in to do that is of course someone. comes out with a Musicianship & talent plug in :rofl:
