Virtual Keyboard Integration

[tango]

Hi DiJimtio,
I also play guitar and also have Guitar Pro 5, and Sibelius 6, and Home Concert Extreme, and the Finale which I have retired for Sibelius. I integrated Notation to a Virtual Keyboard because I sincerely believe Notation has the best notation interface out there for my specific needs.

Now, getting back to guitar which I also play... it is harder to find a midi guitar because since it is not a key based instrument, that is, it's a string instrument, midi applications have not taken off for guitars yet since, while there are a few midi guitars, these are rare and expensive.

I do however share with you in the eduacational aspect of applying midi applications to guitar and would like to hear from you if you find something.

keep in touch,
Tango.

Hi Tango
Nice to meet you here on the Forum.
First a secondary explanation.I am just begining to take up guitar playing again .Like Sherry I am a bass guitar player and use Notation and GP to mess up bass lines from midi songs in the latter by "playing" on the virtual fretboard (bass),save to midi and than back to Composer to do even worst things with otherwise nice songs .
With guitar tracks in Composer,I can see the notation and TABS to learn guitar notation as wellin GP.
So I was not looking for a midi guitar,no sense to me (yet) besides expensive.
It´s more like this:
If and when I could play on my midi keyboard,I could play a track in Composer,connect to GP , convert it to a guitar track with tabs and a virtual fretboard to see ,for nailing down the song until I´m getting familiar with guitar notation as well..So ,using Composer ( indeed the best interface around ),in some way this work around might be looked upon as a midi application to guitar,provided one can play piano,which most musicians do.
Do you play acoustic and/or electric guitar and what genre ?Are you a guitar guru ?
Are you making music ?If so,I must have missed something on the share thread or Soundclick perhaps.
Sorry for the lenghty "quick" reply (and questions too ).
Regards
