Guitar Rig 4 Pro was announced last week by Native Instruments. This is in my opinion the best guitar software on the market for amplifier modeling (or guitar amp emulation). I’m pretty excited about this as I already own Native Instrument’s Guitar Rig 3 – Kontrol Rig Edition. It’s been serving me really well for over a year now but I think it’s time for me to upgrade to version 4 Pro – can’t wait!
Guitar Rig in my opinion delivers the good and gives you the most realistic sounding tones – I’ve yet to come across any other guitar software that does it this well and smoothly. By the way, I’m by no means promoting for Native Inst. okay..I just really love GR.
GR 4 Pro comes with some nice enhancements and upgrades but rather than me just telling you the entire list of upgrades, pop over to Native Instruments and read it up yourselves if you want more detailed info.

I was looking for guitar accessories today and I came across a very interesting new product – The V-Pick.
What is it? The V-Pick is a specially created guitar pick made of clear acrylic. The fantastic part is that after you’ve held it in your fingers for a while, the pick actually ’sticks’ to your skin. Myself and many other guitarists alike, have the problem of guitar picks slipping out from our fingers, especially after playing hard and sweat starts building up.
Sticking equals being able to play faster without worrying about slips. The pick also comes with a slight bevel to the edge that allows it to glide across strings much more easily giving it faster action. According to the creators, the tone and volume from these picks are unsurpassed. (I’ll not comment on that one).
They produce a good range of these V-Picks to suit electric & acoustic guitars, and also bass guitars and mandolins. They come in different gauges and thicknesses, with 30 different ones to choose from.

Hey Guys,
It’s been a week since I’ve last posted. Been real busy with life and all. Just wanted to give a heads up you guys wanting to learn some awesome electric Blues riffs and licks.
Lick Library has released a brand new Stevie Ray Vaughan tutorial DVD that teaches you some killer blues guitar riffs and licks. The DVD focuses on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s style and explores his technique in much detail. In the lessons, instructor Jamie Humphries from Lick Library take you through 6 hours of meaty Blues lessons – 6 hours in total for the 2 volumes.
The DVD’s cover tutorials on several tracks like “Texas Flood, “Pride & Joy”, “The House Is Rocking” and “The Sky Is Crying”. The lessons break down the songs and teaches you how to play the lead and rhythm sections of each song, and leaves nothing out.
These DVD’s are great if you have been looking to add some sweet-killer licks to your playing and improvisation.
