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.

Check out their website at www.v-picks.com

I’ve recently posted an article with exercises to help you develop high speed alternate picking. To most beginners who learn to play the guitar, alternate picking can feel rather unnatural and comfortable – They tend to lean towards the hybrid picking technique where each string is picked in a non-uniform manner ( ie. not being up down, up down consistently ).

I find that pure alternate picking is very important for a beginner to learn. When you use it over the hybrid picking styles, you’ll notice much more rhythm evenness in your guitar playing. Go to the guitar exercises article and perfect your alternate picking technique.
