First off, I was a beta tester for Abstract Guitar. There, that's out in the open. However, I would not
have been a beta tester if I disliked the software. Life is too short. I stayed and tested because
Abstract Guitar is unique and useful.

Abstract Guitar takes up where 'normal guitar' leaves off. If you want a Strat or Les Paul sound,
there are sample CDs for that.

For the creative musician, Abstract Guitar helps you realize your wildest guitar dreams.

Got a guitar sound in your head that sounds like Salvador Dali plays guitars on Mars? How about
Picasso plucks on Pluto? If so, Abstract Guitar is your instrument. Much like the way that Dali
and Picasso were not trying to duplicate real life landscapes or portraits; Abstract Guitar isn't
trying to clone the standard Fender or Gibson guitar sound.

I spent some time playing with Abstract Guitar. Midi guitar files and my own playing were used for testing.
As well as every twisted guitar based sound you can think of, Abstract Guitar makes one funky clavinet!
(Think Stevie Wonder doing Superstition.) You can make things even more interesting by adding effects such as
Ohmforce Quadfromage, ConcreteFX Qwah, tube preamps and amp simulators such as Amplitube.

It doesn't really matter that Abstract Guitar is not quite a guitar copy. Abstract Guitar is more- it's got originality written all over it with sounds of its own, which is much better.

The more I use it, the more I like it. Just think up weird little scenerios for the type of sounds that you want.
Hmm... what would a plastic guitar with 60" strings sound like if I took a blow torch to it while playing
to a Venusian sun rise? Hmmm...indeed. :-)
