Guitar Rig 4 Pro – Must-Have Guitar Software!

Post image for Guitar Rig 4 Pro – Must-Have Guitar Software!

by admin on September 8, 2009

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.

Guitar Software – Band In A Box

Band In A Box Software Accompanies Your Playing

I recently got to mess around with Band In A Box. What is it? It’s a creative music composition program that allows you to generate midi music and create your own backing tracks. It has all the instruments you’d want in a band including piano, drums, saxophone, rhythm guitar etc. All you have to do is enter the chord progression you with in standard notation form, and it goes to work for you. Perfect if you want to create your own backing tracks to jam along with.

It’s available on both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and will set you back about $80+ USD via direct download.

Is This The Ultimate Band Software?

From my own experience, it’s great for a beginner who wants to compose their own music. In terms of overall sound, I find the sounds available on their demo software a bit unprofessional.

If you’re interested in reading up about it, Hugo has reviewed Band In A Box in good detail.

Guitar Software

The Jamorama guitar software is an extremely simple yet efficient guitar learning tool. Not only is it very effective at teaching you how to master a guitar in months, you can really master it and start jamming like a professional. The guitar tutorials teach you how to play the guitar by ear ( which is how I learned ), taking you step by step by the hand with weekly and monthly guitar lessons.

Here’s what some other people have said about the Jamorama guitar course:

“Jamorama was designed by Ben Edwards. Ben Edwards was the former lead guitarist of the popular down-under band “DegreesK”. Ben designed Jamorama to be fun and easy to use. Inside this cool program are jam tracks selected exclusively by Ben for people to play and practice. One does not have to endure repetitive and boring tracks or drills. These jam tracks were designed by professional musicians and are interestingly different from those usual play-along practice sessions. This session is designed like an actual live jamming session. Thus, by doing jam tracks, it is like you are practicing with these professional musicians in a live environment” – By Mike Darwin, Ezinearticles

“Getting a guitar teacher can become very expensive. Another option is to learn from friends who also play the guitar and to get a guitar tab tutorials book either referred by a friend or one you picked up from the local music store. However it’s not always easy to learn from a book. A lot of people just don’t get it so they need a teacher to explain everything. Jamorama is a package that combines a book using audio, video and a program to load those three components.” – By A Ghielli, Ezinearticles.com

“What I like about the program is that it mixes fun with their guitar learning approach and it covers most of the important elements when it comes to guitar learning. It gives you three bonuses which will help you on your learning ability. The learn-by-ear is good for learning guitar playing by listening. It is a game which provides the value of true learning. There are also music notes learning game and electronic metronome. Those are a good compliment to guitar learning process.” – By Jim Somchai, Ezinearticles

Do you want quick-start guitar tuts that will get you jamming in months? Don’t waste your money on one to one guitar instruction, they’re way too expensive. Jamorama is the only resource you will need for years to come!
